Annie Lennox - "Why"

Sign of the times: Annie Lennox's sleepy ballad "Why" won the award for Best Female Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

Mariah Carey - "Forever"

I recall the new Windy 100 midday personality talking about how Mariah Carey was rightfully labeled a "diva" after she made her limo drive around the block to drop her off on the opposite side of the street because then the photographers would capture her "better" side.

Annie Lennox - "Little Bird"

My old neighbor Lucy used to clean her house every Saturday morning.  Lucy made it a habit to pop Annie Lennox's Diva into the CD player.  One such song that would blare from the speakers from Lucy's stereo was "Little Bird".  Happy cleaning!

Peter Cetera & Cher - "After All"

How can two divas record a song together, yet never record it together?  I don't know, but you should ask Peter Cetera and Cher.  Their 1989 hit "After All" became a #1 hit, yet the two never were in the same room when the song was recorded or performed.  Each musician recorded their vocal tracks separately, and a producer mixed the song.  "After All" was part of the soundtrack to "Chances Are" and even got nominated for "Best Original Song" at the 1990 Oscar Awards.  Did Cher and Cetera show up to perform the song together?  Nope.  Peabo Bryson and Melissa Manchester performed the song instead.  Divas.
