Written on Oct 30 2009The DIVAS Concert was Fabulous. Sheryl Lee Ralph was great. This concert was for a great cause and I can't believe she's been doing this for 19 years. This was my first year. I plan on attending next year. I disagreed with a review about the singers not being known. There were several well known singers/actresses/Broadway stars. People have to realize that the performers donated there time, they were not paid. I enjoyed the majority of the performers. I will get better tickets next year.

Written on Oct 26 2009We loved the format of this show but it didn't start on time and ended very late. The divas sang well and the cause was worthwhile. It was very entertaining but it was too long.

Written on Oct 15 2009Kudos to Sheryl for her tireless effort. I didn't know any of the performers before this event, but most of them were amazing...especially Yolonda Adams. I also didn't get the women that played the flute. Isn't it suppose to be Diva's Simply Singing? The show is way too long and needs to be edited down, especially the awards portion and the acknowledgement of the Glam Squad. Can that be done in some other forum beside the show?

Written on Oct 12 2009It was awful. The hostess (Cheryl) was terrible in every way imaginable.

Written on Oct 12 2009Absolutely great performances, and Miss Sheryl Lee Ralph should be commended for creating and hosting this event for 19 yrs - but the show goes on WAY too long. It needs a strong director to rein it in. Too much gabbing between performances and indulgent stuff like giving out awards mid-show, etc. If it was a tight 2 or 2.5 hours it'd be great - at 4 hours, not so great.

Written on Oct 12 2009As always, it was fantastic. One klinker but all the other singers were amazing.

From the opening act to the grand finale, the event was absolutely great. Yolanda was the openning performer, which put it all into perspective, and Faith Evans closed.

Written on Oct 12 2009What an incredible show. The venue was amazing and the performances was wonderful. My only issue is the length of the show which was almost 4 hours long. Otherwise, it was quite fabulous!!

Written on Oct 12 2009The performances were incredible and the venue is great. This is my second time attending this event and it was wonderful both times. A great value, supporting a terrific cause.

Written on Oct 11 2009Benefit concert for those infected & affected by HIV/AIDS.
Did not know any of the singers, did not recognize any of the songs.
Sheryl Lee Ralph did a lot of talking, too much talking. The flow of the show could have moved faster. Tickets said 7:30pm, but show didn't start until 8pm. Then at 10pm was an intermission for 10 minutes. We left after the intermission. 19 yrs to raise money for this disease great cause, but Sheryl Lee Ralph needs more singers that ALL people can enjoy and who are known by everyone.

About Divas Simply Singing!
One diva. One song. One night to touch a million lives. Created and produced by actress/singer Sheryl Lee Ralph in 1991, Divas Simply Singing! is a loving tribute to the many friends lost by HIV/AIDS. The annual benefit concert, produced in conjunction with the Diva Foundation, helps to raise money and awareness about the spread of HIV/AIDS.
With a unique blend of song, entertainment and empowerment, this oft-praised and highly-anticipated event continues to attract some of the most talented women in show business, uniting in song to fight a good fight. Diverse talents such as Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Oleta Addams, Melissa Manchester, Dianne Reeves, Roberta Flack, Eartha Kitt, Nancy Wilson, Stephanie Mills, Tremaine Hawkins, Karen Clark Sheard, Fergie and many others have raised their voices in song and support of Divas Simply Singing! In 2007, the original Dreamgirls from the award-winning Broadway musical – Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Holiday and Loretta Devine – reunited on stage in song and brought the house down!
This year, Divas Simply Singing! is thrilled to partner with the Women Alive Coalition and the Sister Circle South Africa project. In the past, proceeds from the concert have benefited such organizations as Project Angel Food, Caring for Babies with AIDS, Minority AIDS Project, Safe Place for Pediatric AIDS, National Minority AIDS Council, Black AIDS Institute and AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
In 2005, Sheryl Lee Ralph was the recipient of the first Red Ribbon Leadership Award at the United Nations on World AIDS Day for her visionary and unique way of continuing to combat HIV/AIDS.
