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

 

Carolyn (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Longevity, extraordinary performer, actress and person.  Her comebacks have had comebacks.  She looks now more beautiful than ever at age 56."

John (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Not another living performer can even come close to the performance Liza gives! Anyone who has seen her shows will all agree! There has to be one best in the world - and it is Liza Minnelli!"

Claudia (Brazil) on Liza Minnelli
"She's very talented."

Karen (Norway) on Liza Minnelli
"She has a strong voice and remind me so much of her mother. Her voice is just remarkable."

John (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"The daughter of Judy Garland and Vincent Minnelli has produced the greatest stage performer ever to grace the stages of the world!  No other performer living (present or past) comes close to giving us the perfection that Miss Minnelli gives to her audience. I doubt the world will ever see this talent again.  Go see her whenever you can.  She still delivers and lifts you from your seat, leaving you in a sweat when you leave.  The lady is a true genus.  Thank the Gods for this gift!"

Lourdes (Mexico) on Liza Minnelli
"Porque siempre me han dicho que me parezco mucho a ella, y tengo curiosidad de saber más sobre ella."

Stephanie (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"... because she's Judy Garland's daughter!"

Jennifer (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Liza Minnelli is the epitome of style and grace in the face of adversity. She is compassionate and giving of her time and talent. She dredges talent from an endless supply. She's a legend, an icon, and a diva."

Gemma (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"She's got good genes!"

Robert (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"The best performer around."

Cassie (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Liza is one of a kind. She has taught me not only to be myself, but that I can be myself. She is talented, beautiful, and the most amazing woman on this planet. She deserves everything good in life. I thank her from the bottom of my heart."

Amy (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Her voice is so strong. She's a belter. She has overcome so many tragedies and is still standing."

Paul (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"Larger than life and quite mad!"

Joseph (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Her talent, her look, her generosity to fans, her life = #1 Diva!"

Corné (South Africa) on Liza Minnelli
"... because she is divinely decadent!"

Gumer (Brazil) on Liza Minnelli
"I have loved Liza ever since I saw some scenes from Liza with a Z. I was 6 years old at the time. She is the top, the max. God bless Liza Minnelli forever. Thank you."

José (Mexico) on Liza Minnelli
"Outrageous impact of expression with her hands and face movements. Also dynamic performance involving the histrionic drive of her parents. In conclusion, an extraordinary communication of understanding behaviour of the different statements of human live."

Joanna (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Love her movies. Love how she sings. Think her life is interesting."

Rico (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"I do not think Liza Minnelli is a Diva. The term is not being used properly. The same goes for many of the female entertainers in your list, just to mention a few: Selena? Sarah Brightman? Olivia Newton-John?, Kylie?, and the list goes on... They are fabulous female entertainers in their own right. But divas? Not quite, how can you equate Kylie and Maria Callas? In any case, Liza gets my vote, a fabulous entertainer; the words iconic and legend come to mind."

Michael (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Dynamic...Voice...Acting Skills. The ultimate performer."

Lily (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"... cuz she is so cool!"

Matthew (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Why.... what do you mean why..... it's Liza.... you know, with a "Z"."

Sina (Australia) on Liza Minnelli
"A Legend to the core. When performing live she remains to be the best since Judy Garland. With little success on the charts and movie highlights that can be counted with one hand...  Liza (with a Z) Minnelli can still outshine most of the ladies of entertainment. She's one of the few stars that is still in the news columns rather than the gossip columns. She may be occasionally criticized yet never disrespected... and then there is her music, it'll send you out of depression and out into the world."

Diana (Holland) on Liza Minnelli
"Great woman and fantastic all round entertainer."

David (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"Liza, for being every inch an entertainer, even when she was at her lowest ebb."

Tamara (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"When you combine the voice, the idiosyncrasies, the attitude and the look you have the exact description of the word diva!"

Vincent (Hong Kong) on Liza Minnelli
"It is wonderful to hear that Liza's Back... and she is still what she is."

Rebecca (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Why wouldn't she be? Her voice clearly comes from her mother. It is one of the most distinct voices of all time. The fact that she does Broadway also speaks highly of her.  Anybody can act for a camera but with an audience you have to enchant them. Liza is one of the most enchanting and magical people of all time. From her beautiful huge eyes to her trademark hair and voice to the fact that she has had four husbands it just spells out diva."

Katie (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"I am so proud of Liza! She has overcome so much, and finally gotten her life together! Liza, your fans are with you all the way! Go get 'em!"

Caxthon (Hong Kong) on Liza Minnelli
"I think she is not only a singing diva, but also an acting diva, dancing diva..."

Diane (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"She is the most incredible performer ever! She can do it all and she always bounes back!"

Gere (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"She's fun to watch in concert."

Kelly (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"... because she has overcome so much. And she has had to live up to other people's expectations. She has overcome every obstacle beautifully. She is one of my role models."

Chris (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"A true legend and just a damn nice person!"

Liza (Hong Kong) on Liza Minnelli
"She is a diva, needless to say. That's why I call her Li'Z'a."

Kay (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"I've been a Liza fan for 20 years, along with a Judy Garland fan."

Rob (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Those eyes... those glorious eyes! And the inherited talent doesn't hurt either."

Sunset (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"She is unique. No matter her voice, act and background."

Crystal (Singapore) on Liza Minnelli
"I love "New York, New York" very much. She sings and acts it perfectly."

Claudette (UK) on Liza Minnelli
"She is one of the best talented women in the world."

Ivan (Hong Kong) on Liza Minnelli
"She is as talented as her mother Judy was."

Julia (USA) on Liza Minnelli
"Love your site, but where the hell is Liza? Liza Minnelli certainly counts as a diva. The woman has been to hell and back with drugs and men. She's electric on stage and can belt it out bigger and better than any Lilith Fair chick I've heard. Also, in performance at least, she's loaded with attitude. Liza had affairs with Baryshnikov and Martin Scorcese, partied at Studio 54, and was best friends with Halston. Who could possibly be more fabulous?"
