Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Stephanie (USA) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra is my favorite, because she tried to save Egypt with all of her might, even though she didn't succeed.  I also admire how she committed suicide instead of being taken prisoner, I also admire her brains."

B.W. (USA) on Cleopatra
"Dare I mention that the majority of the world over wears make up because of her?  The Egyptian Queen was the original diva!"

Lou (USA) on Cleopatra
"Eternally fascinating!
"

Kiersten (Canada) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra was a smart woman who knew how to get what she wanted. She was a powerful ruler, and a good mother to her children. Any woman who could win the love of Julius Caesar, and keep it, deserves my vote. She created history, and is still one of the most talked-about divas in history."

Andy (Canada) on Cleopatra
"... because she represents a lot of power, and is extremely interesting. The world was a pawn in her hands."

Faith (USA) on Cleopatra
"... because she was a great Queen, and even after so many years after her death, we still know who she is."

Evie (USA) on Cleopatra
"She was the greatest pharaoh of Egypt!"

John (USA) on Cleopatra
"The glory and power she had!"

Ruby (USA) on Cleopatra
"Egypt has always fascinated me, so who better to choose than the famous queen of the Nile?"

Rick (USA) on Cleopatra
"We're still talking about her thousands of years later!"

Annie (USA) on Cleopatra
"... because she was strong, knew what she wanted and how to get it, and was in control!"

Victor (Mexico) on Cleopatra
"Most impressive female figure in history, that is why!"

Sandra (Austria) on Cleopatra
"She was beautiful and what's more she really believed she was a goddess. She got to the heart of the great Caesar and had a son with him hoping to do the best for her country. After Caesar's death she got to the heart of Mark Anthony to save her country from the Roman ruler. She made two big men, politicians and heroes weak without a problem and as her people didn't have anything to eat, she opened the corn rooms for the poor ones. She was a strong woman and even if she wasn't a goddess, she acted like one."

Amy (USA) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra was not simply a woman, she was a queen among all mankind. She put her life, her ethics, and her values above all for her country and the people therein. She was not a sex-crazed seductress, as many believe. She was a hero to Egypt."

Erica (USA) on Cleopatra
"In my opinion Cleopatra is the epitome of a woman.  She educated herself to the extent that no ruler would ever be able to surpass her in knowledge.  She alone replenished the treasury and throne that her father almost destroyed.  She had class, brains, and brawn.  She was not afraid to roll up her sleeves and get dirty if need be.  She is my role model, my teacher, my Queen."

Victoria (USA) on Cleopatra
"... because she knew what she was doing and she let no man take her for granted. she was a true ruler, when every other ruler was a man."

Stewart (Canada) on Cleopatra
"She has stood the test of time and will always be remembered and talked about!"

Paolo (Italy) on Cleopatra
"... because of the snake!"

Trisha (Ireland) on Cleopatra
"She was a politician, a ruler, powerful, intelligent, profound, and she was a deadly flirter..."

Mark (USA) on Cleopatra
"Diva supreme of the ancient world!"

J.M. (USA) on Cleopatra
"Tragic, glamorous, seductive, rich.  Not to mention sleeping with all the most powerful men in the ancient world."

Armando (Indonesia) on Cleopatra
"She's so special to my heart. I've admired all the paintings that have her in them."

Katta (USA) on Cleopatra
"... because she knew what she wanted and got it."

Kimberly (Canada) on Cleopatra
"She lived in a time period where women were nothing more then homemakers, and look at what she has done. She ran a country... Even in present day we do not see women accomplish such a task imagine the opposition she must have faced back then."

Stephanie (Australia) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra was Egypt. No one could think of the Nile or the pyramids without the synonymous vision of this great woman. Cleopatra was a cunning politician, a great leader but also a manipulative femme fatale who wed and bed great Julius Caesar. And although not beautiful was a highly accomplished woman who left the world in a way fitting for one descended from so many great Kings."

Carrie (USA) on Cleopatra
"Powerful, enchanting, betrayed by love, met life and death on her own terms."

Katrina (Canada) on Cleopatra
"She's my fav diva because she was an amazing woman. She seduced some of the greatest rulers in history, she was a ruler of a powerful country and she was very intelligent and strong minded."

Laura (Mexico) on Cleopatra
"For the sex appeal, her ambition and her strategy!"

Lauren (USA) on Cleopatra
"If a woman is able to achieve extreme fame and power around 30 B.C. (and prior), and never lose that fame and power associated with her name for over 2000 years, how can she not be labeled a diva?  Cleopatra stands as a symbol of mystery, wealth, seduction, and power.  She will never be forgotten."

Lana (Australia) on Cleopatra
"... because for a woman to become ruler of Egypt well that didn't happen often and I think it's great that she achieved what she did in her short lived life."

Smeck (USA) on Cleopatra
"Who else could still be considered beautiful and powerful more than 2,000 years after her death?"

Harry (USA) on Cleopatra
"She looks great on a barge."

R.T. (UK) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra is the original diva, she was intelligent, shrewd, charismatic and ambitious. Perhaps Cleopatra was the most powerful queen during her era. I think she created the role diva."

Shelley (USA) on Cleopatra
"The diva before her time. Style, class, finesse, make-up and accessories were out of this world!"

Rachel (Brazil) on Cleopatra
"I just like her way of life."

Lindzie (USA) on Cleopatra
"Cleopatra had it all. Every man wanted her. She ruled and loved. Her life was full of tragic things, but she managed to do great things in her time and will never be forgotten."

L.M. (USA) on Cleopatra
"Beautiful, enchanting, powerful, a leader!"

Piotr (Portugal) on Cleopatra
"... because she is timeless!"

Leandro (Brazil) on Cleopatra
"Even to die she chose a great way. And who can be called evil when defending her empire?"

Martina (Sweden) on Cleopatra
"She is/was the best."
