Kelly Clarkson & Miley Cyrus: Bring back VH1 divas

There is great news for music lovers. After five long diva-less years, there is a new line of pop stars who are set to claim, not to mention redefine, the title. Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Adele and Leona Lewis are slated to perform at this year's VH1 Divas concert. The show, which started in 2004, is going to take place live on VH1 on 17th September.

Miley Cyrus, Adele, Lewis and Clarkson join a long list of esteemed singers who have graced the Divas stage. Others include Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Cher, Diana Ross and Beyoncé, to name a few. Though these ladies might seem more experienced in diva-dom, the show's producer, Lee Rolontz, assured all the fans in a statement that these girls are up to the task. "Adele, Kelly, Leona and Miley have all captured the world's attention with their talent and have earned their designation as VH1 Divas this year. Don't let some of their young ages fool you — these women are among the best entertainers in the world and will continue to thrill music fans for a long time to come."

According to the press release, more presenters and performers are expected to be declared in the weeks leading up to the show. As in years past, the show will also benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation.

The VH1 Divas series premiered in the year 1998 with Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion. Subsequent shows included everyone from Donna Summer to Nelly Furtado to Mary J. Blige. The last concert took place in the year 2004 and featured Jessica Simpson, Patti LaBelle, Debbie Harry and Eve.
