VH1 Divas Live 1999 Review
I enjoyed the show, and from what I understand it was for a good cause. This CD pretty much highlights the show. In ways I wish they would have included LeAnn & Elton's duet "Written In The Stars". There's 2 incredible voices together. In my opinion though...Brandy doesn't really seem to fit in as a "Diva" if Faith Hill and LeAnn Rimes are only the Divas in training for the show.

VH1 Divas Live 1999 Overview
Aretha Franklin was clearly the queen of 'em all, y'all, at VH1's first Divas Live concert. So much so that even with her absence from the second, the finest musical moment comes on one of her classics. Mary J. Blige teams with a surprisingly gritty Whitney Houston to deliver a more than respectable take on "Ain't No Way." Many of the remaining performances on Divas Live/99 are perfectly competent, but inevitably uninspiring except for the biggest fans of the artists. Brandy stands out thanks to the relative unfamiliarity of her hits next to warhorses like Tina Turner's "The Best" and Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time." Otherwise, the clever choice of Elton John to round out the party proves inspired as he duets with Turner on "The Bitch Is Back" and solos on his hardy anthem "I'm Still Standing." --Rickey Wright
