Which year was that?

'Cos she's 75 now - exactly one year younger than Elvis, one year older than me.

Jamirquiao

Annie Lennox

Tom Jones

Phil Collins

Daman Allbarn

Shirley Bassey

Jarvis Cocker

Fat Boy Slim

Just a few of the top of my head.

Am I the only one completely confused by this list? Many of them aren't women or solo artists

As for the whole diva argument, I think it would depend on how one defines the term. Could be the latest pop definition or the original.

For me, its the one and only Barbra

But as for British female singers with amazing voices (my personal definition of a diva) this list does at least include the incomparable Annie Lennox

Divo. Not being finnicky about spelling, I know you'd appreciate knowing the correct term....just in case you didn't.

Annie Lennox all the way.

I think we should stick to the topic of divas. Football is a whole different subject.

A great deal of the famous female artists are African-American. I don't know if that plays into the situation or not.

A lot of great African-American singers (both male and female) started their careers singing Gospel - something we don't have in the UK.

+1

We can take Amy Winehouse of the list now, she's been found dead at her home.

No surprise really, but what a waste of talent.

My first visit to this thread...and yeah I hear you Patsy....

Let the divas here dissect at their leisure....

Nice voice, and pretty good looking for a British chick too. I like that Duffy girl as well.
