Divas Do Vegas With Duets And Elvis Tribute

May 24, 2002 | Other
The cable television concert "VH1 Divas" came to the city of Las Vegas for the first time, mixing veteran divas like Cher and Celine Dion with first-timers Anastacia and Shakira. A Las Vegas show wouldn't be complete without Elvis, even if it's in the form of Cher with a black wig and sideburns. Ellen DeGeneres hosted and Wayne Newton announced the acts and pop music's biggest female singers even threw in a tribute to the King himself. For the finale, the divas performed a string of Elvis hits. Shakira wore an Elvis-style jumpsuit and Cher was almost unrecognizable as she sang "Heartbreak Hotel" with her platinum blonde hair tucked in a black wig.
