Miley Cyrus Is a Diva

Tawny is gonna give me hell for writing about this because she says that it’s not country…….BUT I think Miley classifies as a little country since she has a country “crossover” hit “The Climb”.

Miley Cyrus is only 16, and VH1 says she’s already a diva.  VH1 is bringing back its “Divas Live” concert special (after being on hiatus for 5 years) and Miley Cyrus has been asked to perform.

So far, the other Diva’s are Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Adele. The names of a few more divas will be revealed before the September 17 concert.

What do you think?  Does the 16 year deserve to be on the big “Diva” stage?

Other country Diva’s who have performed in the past are: Shania Twain, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, and The Dixie Chicks.

Side note:  yes, another one.  John Mayer is hot with short hair.

Full run down of country Grammy nominations:

Lady Antebellum is nominated with Adele, Duffy, Jonas Brothers and Jazmine Sullivan. Way to represent country music!

NOTE:  The Grammy’s think that the Eagles are pop (not country).  They are nominated for best pop performance by duo or group and a number of other POP awards.

Martina McBride
LeAnn Rimes
Carrie Underwood
Lee Ann Womack
Trisha Yearwood

Can I just say…It kills me that the CMA’s can give Kenny Chesney Entertainer of the Year award for 100 years in a row BUT the Grammy’s don’t even think he is worth a Best Male Performance nomination.  Just makes you wonder how much politics are involved in the music industry.   That just doesn’t match up.
