The Greatest Diva of All: Whitney!

“She’s got the stuff that you want, She’s got the thing that you need...” At least that’s what Logo viewers are feeling about Ms. Whitney Houston.

What becomes a diva most? Maybe some scandal, a turbulent marriage, scorching talent, allegations of drug abuse, hit movies and the vocal pipes (in their hey-day) that could lift roofs off of soccer arenas. All of the above have certainly worked for Whitney Houston (somehow). Today, it's been revealed that the viewers and visitors of LOGOonline have voted Houston as their "Ultimate Diva" in all of gaydom. The woman who helped make phrases such as "The Greatest Love of All" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "Crack is whack!" part of the global vernacular beat down her diva-licious competitors, who included Madonna, Cher, Mariah Carey, Bette Midler, Xtina—as well as offbeat contenders such as Bjork, Morrissey and Prince.

So Emotional: Whitney's feeling your love...

The "Ultimate Diva" poll is part of a Dreamgirls-sponsored event airing this weekend, which will culminate this coming Sunday night at10pm (EST) when Logo airs “The Click List: Ultimate Diva." The music video show will air videos by the top ten diva vote-getters (the full list is below) leading up to Whitney’s “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay.”

I’m thinking an honor such as this will be just the thing Ms. Houston needs to inspire her to stay clean, focus, and crank out what really needs to be an amazing comeback album. If she did, I think folks would go bonkers.

The full-on Ultimate Diva Top Ten (and their videos...)

1. Whitney Houston: "It's Not Right, But It's Okay"
2. Madonna: "Vogue"
3. Janet Jackson: "Nasty"
4. Patti LaBelle: "New Attitude"
5. Cher: "If I Could Turn Back Time"
6. Kristine W: "I'll Be Your Light"
7. Tina Turner: "What's Love Got to do With It"
8. Christina Aguilera: "Beautiful"
9. Blondie: "Call Me"
10. Kylie Minogue: "Can't Get You Out of My Head"

Good choice. In her heyday NO ONE could touch Whitney.

Now that Whitney has won the Greatest Diva honors (even if I voted for Tina Turner, alas), dearly hope that 2007 proves a turn-around year for her. At last rid of Brown, perhaps Whitney will return to her fabulous form.
