  1. a diva is, in a word, a .b..i.t..c.h.! she usually has ridiculous demands and a feral temper.

    the correct dictionary term is: 1. An operatic prima Donna.

    2. A very successful singer of non operatic music: a jazz diva. In horse racing the name diva is usually given to a fillie or mare (female horse) some examples of this are:

    Makybe diva

    Lucky diva


  2. Makybe Diva,  she was a great horse =]

  3. A diva is a celebrated female singer such as Maria Callas, Jenny Lind, Nellie Melba, Rose Ponselle, Leontyne Price, Joan Sutherland or Renata Tebaldi.

    However, the term is now also used to refer to an outstanding popular female performer of non-operatic works, such as Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Madonna, Patti Labelle, Cher, Tina Turner who are often referred to as divas due to their success and talent.

    Also, some prominent women adored in g*y male pop culture are referred to as divas, such as Moses Herrera, Justin Whitley, Kathy Griffin, Joy Behar, and Joan Rivers.

    The term was originally used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent. It derives from the Italian word 'diva' meaning "goddess" or "fine lady"[1]. TIME magazine observed in its October 21, 2002 issue: "By definition, a diva was originally used for great female opera singers, almost always sopranos."

    Divas is also a Spanish operatic pop trio made up of Isabel Patton, Romy Abredalo and Rosa Ruiz.

    In ballet, the equivalent of a diva is a prima ballerina assoluta.

    The term is often used with a negative connotation. This derives from the implication that a star who is a "diva" is arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, manipulative, fussy, highly strung, privileged and demanding. He or she does not believe the law and accepted rules of courtesy apply to him or her. Professional actors often use this term to describe someone who desires the stage spotlight over others.The term "prima donna" has similarly entered common usage with exactly the same negative meaning.
