Men Can Be Divas, Too: Marc Anthony's National Anthem Performance

Being that I was born and raised in Miami up until two years ago, I was very excited that my hometown team, the MIAMI HEAT, made it this far in the series. (Even though I am technically a Magic fan, we shall wait til next season!) Anyway, I was even more excited to hear Marc Anthony sing the national anthem! I gained respect for him after I saw his portrayal of Hector Lavoe in El Cantante.

Anyway, his performance was exactly what every diva should do when asked to sing at a championship. Not only does he sound absolutely incredible, his delivery was passionate, powerful and appropriate. Too many singers butcher this song and he did it just right. Marc Anthony performed the National Anthem with bravado and confidence. This just proves that men can be divas, too. :)

Diva Manifesto: The Definition of a Diva

So many people use the word Diva. But what exactly is a Diva??? Here is my definition. Here is my Diva Manifesto. . . 


They say that confidence is half what you have, half what you *pretend* to have. Its best to convince yourself that you are amazing, because before you know it, you'll start to believe it. I say to myself that I am gorgeous, intelligent and empowered. I delight in the comforts of solitude and self-expression. If I am feeling a certain way, then I showcase it. I strive to be better than the shadows of myself. I breathe in the crisp air of freedom with a satisfied smile. It's so fulfilling to trust that I am all encompassing--and so are you.

You must believe that you have the potential to be absolutely incredible. You can call yourself a Diva. A Diva who is at the top of every game she plays. Her actions are what others strive to become. This Diva knows that she is capable and strong, polite and assertive, sensitive and warm. She surrounds herself with others that help her grow. Thirsty for inspiration and motivation, she glides through her dreams...

If you let your voice be the echo of your heart, you will be free. Let what you feel play on into the world. Let your words serve as anthems for those unsure. It is possible to enjoy the idiosyncrasies of moments that pass and go. It is possible to love, deeply love.

A Diva sings from her soul with her voice from within...

A Diva will conquer the world,

Shine on...

She will fly above the universe...
