VH1’s Divas Show features Jordin and Leona

VH1’s “Divas” live concert is back on September 17 (9 p.m.) featuring a new generation of talented ladies, including “American Idol” champ Jordin Sparks and Brit “X-Factor” winner Leona Lewis. Jordin’s new album Battlefield debuted in Billboard’s top 10 and Leona’s sophomore album , Echo, drops on November 16.

These reality show competition junior divas join the ranks of past senior “Divas” performers Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, and Aretha Franklin.

A “VH1 Divas” concert hasn’t aired in four years, and for the first time ever the artists will perform at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn.  Paula Abdul will host, so that in itself should be interesting to watch, and the evening also features honorary Hot Mamas Kelly Clarkson and Adele (no comment on Miley Cyrus being on the bill).

I’m looking forward to seeing these ladies do their thing solo and during the show’s surprising duet pairings.
