Brings to life music's young, powerful women. -- Billboard

Brings to life music's young, powerful women. --Billboard


Product Description

These seven women have won countless awards, received the highest acclaim, and achieved success in various forms of entertainment, but have never lost themselves in the process. IT'S ALL HERE IN THIS EXCITING COMPILATION! ALICIA KEYS began taking piano lessons at age seven ….even from a young age, she had stage presence… passion. She's won Grammies and numerous other awards for "Best New Artist", "Best R&B Album", "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance", "Best R&B Song", and "Song of the Year". ASHANTI'S debut album was released in April 2002 after years of hard work and disappointing record deals. Ashanti easily claimed the top spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop album chart by selling a whopping 500,000 copies within the first week. She has since won countless awards and nominations for her music and performances. BEYONCE' had decided that 2003 was the perfect time in her career to release her solo album, because all of her mainstream exposure had made the release of Dangerously in Love highly anticipated. Audiences knew that the help she received from Missy Elliot, Jay Z, Sean Paul, Mario Winans, Big Boi, and Luther Vandross would only seal the potential success of the album. They were right. Every song that was released from Dangerously in Love was an instant success. DESTINY'S CHILD had proven time and again that they were talented and gifted artists. Their longevity as the most powerful female group of their era and the continuing success of the award-winning group leaves their audiences reeling. The women of Destiny's Child have a radiant aura of longevity and they have consistently taken steps to make sure that neither the public nor they themselves become bored with their work. NATIONAL BEST-SELLER!! JENNIFER LOPEZ is one woman who can truly say she's done it all. If superstardom is a main goal in today's world, she is on top of the world. Jennifer has become one of the most popular and idolized actresses and singers in the world. She has starred in hit movies, made award-winning albums, fine-tuned her love for dancing, guest starred on popular sitcoms, modeled for some of the world's top designers, and started her own company. As a result, it only makes sense that she has become the center of the media's nonstop attention. Although MYA tantalizes viewers with her beauty, sex appeal and dancing abilities, audiences appreciate her most and identify with the messages within her songs. Her music is often light-hearted and catchy; however, it boasts of independence, self-esteem, and a call for respect. AN INSPIRING BOOK! The compelling stories of the divas of the new millennium’s triumphs and hardships co-mingle to create an inspiring and memorable book…a resonating read that will be appreciated for years and years to come

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful Look Into the Lives of New Music Divas, February 10, 2006
By Shelia M Goss (Entertainment Writer & Author of Young Adult Books & Women's Fiction) - See all my reviews
If you're a fan of Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez, or Mya, then you will find this a must have for your book collection. The author provides a chronological account of each of their careers as well as provide photos of the artists.

If you're studying women in music, this book will give you an insight to some of the more popular Pop and R & B singers of this time.--Shelia M Goss, BellaOnline Women in Music Editor

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read!, July 23, 2006
A Kid's Review
I really enjoyed this book so much that I sent Stacy-Deanne a fan letter! The book got interesting each time I read it. I suggested it to all my friends. I admit that it should have included more divas like Tamia and Ciara, but the book is a still very good. I loved the pictures! I am hoping that the authors(who are also divas)do a follow up for this. I wish them all the best and everyone should get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - Wonderful Insight, May 5, 2006
Divas of the New Millennium was a truly exciting read. It's exciting as it takes you through some of today's prominent stars life during the ups, downs, good times and struggles. It brings forth realization to see the person behind stardom and show yes stars are human. It great read for all ages and I recommend this book to everyone.
