Diva- is a celebrated female singer. The word was first used
to describe women of outstanding talent in opera.
Origin of DIVA:
Italian: meaning Goddess, a female deity. The word was
reported to enter the English language in the late 19th century.
Overtime however, it has been extended to women with
outstanding talent in theatre, cinema and popular music. Today a diva is
considered to be a woman who is usually glamorous and successful: a popular
female performer or personality. A diva is very ”professional and has a low
tolerance for incompetence” according to
the Urban Dictionary. Some say a diva is a “bitchy” woman, often rude and
belittles people, must have her way exactly, is selfish, spoiled and overly
dramatic.
A better definition of a diva is someone who exudes great
style and personality with confidence. They do not allow others to influence
who they are or want to be, their character makes them outstanding from others.
And they would do whatever it takes to get what they want without allowing
anyone to get in their way.
