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

Renee (Australia) on Lucille Ball
"She made the typical house wife on 'I Love Lucy', look less typical with humour and wasn't male dominated. She set the stage for women comedians."

Angie (USA) on Lucille Ball
"As she said, "I'm not funny. What I am is brave." She's a great person, and I love her movies (Yours, Mine, and Ours being my favorite) and her show I Love Lucy."

Caterina (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She always makes me laugh! I have seen all of her episodes from "I Love Lucy" the "Lucy Show" "Life With Lucy" and even if I have seen the episodes hundreds of times I still crack up. She is an amazing role model."

Jen (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She overcame obstacles in her life to have a #1 television show for years in a row. She was told that she wouldn't make it in the business, but boy did she ever show them that they were wrong."

Luisa (USA) on Lucille Ball
"In this world where it's not easy to live without faith there is always somebody who can make you "sonreir". And for me that is good help. I love Lucy."

Blanca (USA) on Lucille Ball
"... because she was just so funny and I think that she marked the way for women to be on television. She should have never died but I guess God just needed another angel."

Kristine (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She did comedy and was still feminine, and still looked beautiful. You can't always tell the reason someone loves a legend, and Lucille Ball was a legend."

Kara (USA) on Lucille Ball

Alana (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is my favorite diva because she is the funniest female comedian ever to hit Hollywood. I love most of her work. My favorite is the "I Love Lucy" sitcom that first aired in 1951. She was beautiful and determined. She is my favorite actress of all time."

Jo (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Queen of comedy. The idol of all female character actors."

Tiffany (USA) on Lucille Ball

She was also the first woman to own a television company. She had it all."

Chelsey (USA) on Lucille Ball
"... because she's perfect in everything that is wrong with her. She never stood for being beautiful, just the best in whatever you were trying to accomplish.

Nicole (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Why is Lucille Ball my fav Diva! If you knew me then you would find that a stupid question. I've known and loved Lucy for about 9 or so years. I love everything about her. Next to my mom and grandma she is my role model. I mean she had a hard life but never let anyone or thing ruin her dreams. She went to New York, worked hard, became a model under another name (she found Lucille Ball to be plain). Then finally she made it out to California. She made it as queen of B pictures then later on she owned RKO Studios with Desi and had a great TV show (all due to the fact she wanted the marriage for her and Desi to work). She did a lot in her life time of 78 yrs. Lucille Ball will always be known for her gorgeous one of a kind red hair, and the way she could make everyone laugh. The way she cared for people, and a good days of hard work she believed in doing. The way Lucy never gave up on something or something she believed in, I honor her for that. Not only could she make you laugh she could make you cry. Then again she could make you look at your laugh from a different way. Lucy has been honored many times in many different ways, I'm sure if she was still around she would have been doing something to do with TV, winning some award, and spending ever moment she could with her children and grandchildren, I'm pretty sure that she has some great- grandkids also. So I believe for the life she lived and the things she did in her life she is a true diva through and through! I could keep going on about her, but I'll stop for now."

Ingrid (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is lovable. She can be both a funny actress and a gorgeous woman. She is the best!"

Meg (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She's so funny. Can make the stupidest things a real joke."

Sarah (USA) on Lucille Ball
"... because she is the most hilarious and best actress that I have ever seen on cable TV and on any TV or movie! She is flawless with everything she does! I mean just watch one of her shows! She can act so well! You can't even tell that it is a television show! She becomes one with her part and is really good at portraying Lucy Ricardo! I just love watching I Love Lucy because it makes me laugh! You could watch the same episode 50 times in a row and Lucy still makes it funny every time! I think Lucille Ball is the best diva because she is the funniest and most humorous and has the best character and can act the best."

Kristen (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is beautiful and Lucille Ball was the first woman to do so much. She made the world better in a way. She gave me and others hope to be on Broadway and hope to be someone when we grow up. Lucille is/was the best actress known to man and she will live in my heart as well as other's hearts forever."

Shinnira (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Lucille Ball is my favorite diva because she is beautiful in her own ways and she's a really smart woman for thinking up ideas of her own for pay back! Lucille Ball has my hall-of-fame!"

Terry (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Not only did she make us laugh for years, but she showed us that women are not to play second fiddle, not only was she the star of her own shows but the first woman to own a major studio, she worked hard with the USO during the war, plus she was big on charities, and she helped bring women into the movement that is still here today, she had power and intelligence."

Lindsay (Saudi Arabia) on Lucille Ball

Melanie (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Lucy is my fav diva because she led the way for other TV actors and actresses ... every great comedian or comedienne nowadays was influenced by her somehow. Lucy is my inspiration. She proved that no matter how many times you get turned down (like what happened to her when she tried to get acting jobs earlier in her career), there's always light at the end of the tunnel. I can't think of any other woman that went from a bit player actress making $35 a week to becoming a multi-millionaire with a hit TV show and love from millions of people around the world. What else can I say, I just love Lucy."

Florence (USA) on Lucille Ball
"While growing up, my entire family watched every episode as a unit; we laughed together and the memories of myself, brothers, sister and especially my beloved parents are always fresh when I watch Lucy reruns. Since the show first aired in the 50's, hardly a day has gone by that I did not watch "I Love Lucy"."

Tiffany (USA) on Lucille Ball

I always thought she was interesting, remarkable, pretty, talented, funny, etc. If she was alive, I would probably be in jail. Why? I would do anything just to at least see her.

Beth (USA) on Lucille Ball
Aaaawwwweeessoommee!

Tina (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is my favorite diva because when I first saw her on TV. she made me laugh my ass off. She has a great personality that made me fall in love with her. I thought that all older shows where dumb. But she showed me that they are not. This is all coming for a 16 year old girl that lives in the year 2000 with all the drugs and hate out there. She showed me that u don't have to do drugs to have a good time, but that u can laugh to. To me she is my role model. She made me laugh and have a good time. And that is why I think she should win."

Peg (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Lucille Ball should be number one on the list of divas. Ever since the TV audience first saw her in " I Love Lucy" almost fifty years ago, the world has been intrigued by original comedy and heartfelt acting. With every performance, Lucille Ball has allowed us to feel a piece of herself and allow it to become a small part of ourselves. Through all of the shows, movies, and stage performances, the term Diva has been well deserved for Lucille Ball. Besides, who other than a diva could have a show that has not been off air for fifty years."

Gina (USA) on Lucille Ball
"I have watched her show since I was a little girl, she has never failed to make me laugh, even if I was feeling fat and pregnant, or even now when she's on at 2:00 in the morning! For years I watched her on Fox for 2 hrs every Sunday, now I catch her on nick! She was a great woman, despite all the troubles the cast had while filming the show, she was great and never let it take away from her ability to act! She is an excellent role model and will always inspire me, as well as leave me all those wonderful childhood memories of watching her either by myself or with my family!"

Michelle (USA) on Lucille Ball
"I've been watching Lucy for about 10 years now and I love her and her shows. I think she is the one person who made laughter come alive. I always agree with her quote 'Laughter is the best medicine." because laughing is to me the best mental feeling in the world and when someone laughs they forget there problems for that 10 seconds or that minute."

Amy (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is my favorite simply because this beautiful woman can make me smile on a moments notice, no matter what mood I'm in. She was so real even when she was just acting. The way she loved and took care of her family and friends and the passionate, electrifying love between her and Desi, and her trauma throughout her life did not break her. I consider her the strongest woman I know besides my own mother! She was down right gorgeous inside and out! She had so much dignity and respect and to me, no one to this day will ever measure up to the one and only Lucille Ball. She lives on in my heart forever!"

Jolynn (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Well, I first liked her simply because she was so gosh darn funny. Now as I learn more about her, I know about all the personal and professional obstacles she overcame. I think that it's amazing how in the beginning she was told she didn't have a chance, but she knew she wanted to act and did it. It seems as though all she wanted was to entertain and all the fame was just a side line for her. And again ... she makes me laugh!"

Brianna (USA) on Lucille Ball

Toni (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. OK yeah it is an old show but I could watch her TV series forever."

Lauren (USA) on Lucille Balls
"She makes me laugh and she inspires me for all different reasons. She shows me if I want something to go out and get it. Even though it sometimes didn't work out perfectly on her shows. That's ok.

Amanda (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She is the most inspiring woman I know. I have watched just about every thing she has been in, and think that she is the funniest, prettiest woman ever! I admire her very much!"

Lissette (USA) on Lucille Ball

"I love her. I wrote my senior paper on her 5 years ago in high school. I also have collected lots of stuff about her and have a lot of her items on sale in stores.

CB (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Lucille Ball is my favorite diva because she is the most beautiful, the most talented, and the most celebrated woman in TV history. No other actress has left a legacy so phenomenal.

Amber (USA) on Lucille Ball
"I Love Lucy! She is so funny and she makes me laugh! She makes me think better of myself when I do not make additions or when I feel I'm not any good.

Laveta (Philippines) on Lucille Ball
"Is there anyone else?"

Jade (USA) on Lucille Ball

Jessica (USA) on Lucille Ball
"I think it is because she was, in real life, an actress. When she was having hard times at home, etc., she would just put on some make-up and a smile to cover it up, which she did well. If you looked at her, would you know immediately that she was unhappy? And isn't that the job of an acting diva? To act? Yes, and that is what Lucille Ball is: a diva!"

Alisha (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Think about it. She had a hit television show plus she was the first woman ever to own such a huge production company. She was a great actress and I don't know how she seemed to have 'slipped' your list. I think you need to update it with her name at the top."

Alisha (USA) on Lucille Ball
"She represents the beginning of power for women. She owned her own studio system and was one of the first women to do so. There are so many of today's stars that try to follow in her footsteps, but everybody knows that she is the only one capable to do so. Long Live Lucy!"

C.B. (USA) on Lucille Ball
"Lucille Ball is the best actress that has ever lived. She is timeless. No other actress has left a legacy even remotely as phenomenal as she has. No other actress has made people all around the globe laugh so hard. No other actress has been so endeared, loved and cherished before, during or since. Lucille Ball is #1. She combined zaniness, impeccable timing, sheer comic genius, and just the right touch of human believability into her art. No matter how zany the scene or character, it was always believable because Lucy played it. No other actress had that gift. It was special because of Lucy. She made comedy what it is. No one will ever top her. No one can even come close. There will never be another Lucille Ball. She is one of a kind. Lucy, thank you for all the laughs. It's such a great privilege to have been entertained by you for 5 generations. We love you and we miss you."
