Format:DVD
Well what can i say?The Divas concert of 1999 was by far the best of them all, with a variety of true Divas to support the Save The Music Foundation.It begins with the legendary Tina Turner, strutting her way from the outside through the audience on to the stage...those legs still as fabulous as ever.She performs with Elton John, and also with the almighty Cher,belting out her most famous songs.Cher does "If I Could Turn Back Time" effortlessly, and then we have some slower more subduded songs from some newer ladies of music (back then at least). Mary J Blige sings with Whitney Houston, Leann Rimes performs her hit smash "How Do I Live", and the lovely Faith Hill makes an appearance for a couple of songs.A fantastic concert, full of vivacious divas doing what they do best.Legendary women of music mixed with newer talent did not miss in this unmissable, fabulous DVD.

Great, but still too edited
1 May 2000
Format:DVD
I love the DIVAS specials VH1 frequently does every year and Iown Divas Live '98 and Divas Live '99 both on CD and DVD. The onlything is a problem I noticed a little on Divas Live '98 and definitely noticed on Divas '99. Why didn't they call the Divas Live '99 CD/Video/DVD "Divas Live: '99-The Chopped And Edited Version"? The cast was great. Tina Turner brought excellent stage presence and was probably the best performer of the show. I definitely loved her performing "Proud Mary" along Elton and Cher. Cher did good and Whitney really brought a certain groove and to the show. Brandy did the best she ever could to the show and it was amazing to hear her perform even as she had a sore throat or not. I like Faith Hill and the song (Everything I Do) I Do It For You and I never ever stop listening to the duet Brandy did with Faith Hill. LeAnn Rimes gave a good example of how their are young acts with talent unlike many teen singers today. I think it was an excellent thing for her to be there. I am also a huge fan of Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston so it was amazing to hear them perform a ballad together. Fianlly, back to why I gave it 3 stars. Does any one beside me think that VH1 tried to sell the Divas in too much of a way? Despite of how it seemed Cher lip-synched to her song "Believe" she didn't as she sang over a recorded tape. Maybe it didn't deserve to be on the CD but because of how Cher performs the song it could've been on the Video/DVD. LeAnn Rimes and Elton John performing "Written In The Stars" was worthy of being on the CD/Video/DVD as well but I guess VH1 didn't think so (who knows maybe they have a reason for doing this). Lastly why did they chop off Whitney's opener of a medley of It's Not Right But It's Okay/My Love Is Your Love? It's misleading as in the beginning introductions they say that Treach (of Naughty By Nature) guest stars but since he's on that medley he's not on the recording. After all, I could tell how edited it was when the presenter to introduce Whitney said "Here Is Whitney Houston" when instead you don't hear music you hear her say "Thank you very much." with a roaring audience applause right after the introduction . . . (I)n order to see any performances of Tina, Cher, Brandy, or Whitney I guess I'd buy it.

Why did they cut alot off the DVD of Divas 99
9 Mar 2003
Format:DVD
I Have this DVD but I also tape it off the tv. The DVD is missing a lot on it I like my version better because I also have Tina Turner singing Let's Stay Together.
Thanks

Vh1 Cut's Out Best from Video
2 Feb 2000
Vh1 cut out the best from this video. Although it is still a good video of the concert and Tina Turner and Whitney Houston sing their hearts out, VH1 cut out two of Whitney's hits and totally cut out Cher's new hit, Believe. Cher is a Diva in her own right. Who care's about Brandy and Mary J. Blidge. The hightlight is Tina Turner and Whitney singing "I will always Love You". Forgive me if I've misspelled or uncorrectly stated the names of these songs. J. Smith, Los Angeles, CA.
