As we step into 2025, let’s rewind and revisit the unforgettable era of R&;B Divas Atlanta, an acclaimed reality series that once graced our screens on TV One. The show, which first premiered in 2013, sparked a wave of enthusiasm for R&;B music, highlighting the lives and careers of some of the most iconic divas in the industry. Today, we’re taking you back to the time when TV One marked April as “Destination Divas,” a month jam-packed with original specials, iconic movies, sitcoms, and encores of the R&;B Divas season one. Let’s delve into this blast from the past and reminisce about the special moments that made this series a hit.
R&;B Divas Atlanta: A Look Back
The second season of R&;B Divas Atlanta was a much-anticipated event for fans. SVP Program Strategy and Acquisitions, Maureen Guthman, stated, “R&B Divas Atlanta has quickly become one of the strongest performers in our originals portfolio.” “Destination Divas” was designed to extend the entertainment factor for viewers and generate excitement for the second season premiere of R&B Divas Atlanta.
Specials and Highlights
The month of “Destination Divas” featured a variety of specials and iconic performances. A pre-party hosted by comedian Joe Claire was organized to update viewers on the goings-on of the R&B Divas cast and preview the upcoming season. The special also showcased popular music videos from the cast members, including Faith Evans, Nicci Gilbert-Daniels, Syleena Johnson, Monifah Carter, Keke Wyatt, and the newest additions, LaTocha Scott and Angie Stone.
Another highlight was the encore presentation of Diana Ross: Live in Central Park, a performance that solidified Diana Ross as a legend. Despite a relentless downpour, Diana made history by performing and urging her drenched audience to stick with her. True to her word, she returned to perform the entire concert again the next day, a moment cherished by the people of New York.
The month concluded with the Top R&B Divas of All Time special, celebrating ten of the most impressive female vocalists and performers of our time, including Diana Ross, Chaka Kahn, Aretha Franklin, Janet Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, and Rihanna.
