Diva = the sheer insistence on sticking around even when you're seemingly not wanted anymore, knowing full well that you'll either retain a cult following (Nina) or trip back into fashion (Cher). Having a train wreck of a personal life (Judy) and/or being obstinate and difficult (Dusty, whom you omitted) certainly helps. :-)

It's the combination of talent, attitude and sheer force of will that makes someone a diva. Often the attitude and force comes from a difficult life.

What I find shameful is the way the term is thrown around these days. I mean, "Divas Live 2002" will probably star Mandy Fucking Moore and Geri Halliwell.

Andy: Why don't you write a song called "Vicious"? Lou: What do you mean, vicious? Andy: Oh, you know, like you hit me with a flower.

Diva - A spoilt, bitchy women, usually adorned in tacky jewelry, who sings like a Star Search contestant (on purpose)
