Carrie Underwood was the winner of American Idol’s 4th season and went on to win multiple Grammy and Academy of Country Music Awards. Her debut album, Some Hearts (2005), was certified triple platinum, making it the fastest-selling female country album. With “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” Underwood hit the top of the country charts. The song proved to be a critical success as well, winning Underwood the Academy of Country Music Award for single of the year; the Country Music Association Award for single of the year; and two Grammy Awards, for best female country vocal performance and best new artist, in 2006.

Why she’s a Diva: Despite her huge success, the American Idol winner has remained wholesome, classy and out of trouble. She’s family oriented and a pet lover, too! She tweets and posts pictures of her dog and her beautiful baby belly. Critics can bash Carrie all they want but she doesn’t let them affect her.

Hailing from the beautiful land of Australia, Iggy Azalea is a rapper who became a hit in the international music scene with her 2014 smash “Fancy.” She gave a whole new definition to female rap and surpassed records making a name for herself in the music industry.

Why she’s a Diva: Apart from the fact that she raps, which is awesome, Iggy’s moves are flawless. Being a Diva that she is, Iggy admits getting a boob job and when Snoop Dog compared her to one of the characters in the White Chicks movie, Iggy made a Halloween costume out of it, promoted it online and won the internet with her sass. Great move, Iggy.

At 21, Ariana Grande has taken the world by storm with her incredibly powerful voice. She won  “New Artist of the Year” at the 2013 American Music Awards and has been named best female and even taken awards for her music videos and music with her popular songs “Break Free,” “Problem” and “Bang Bang.”

Why she’s a Diva: Ariana has the perfect olive skin and long straight hair that frames her face — beautiful and youthful. She sports unique outfits, collaborated with many artists and is multi-talented. Despite that, Ariana has remained down to earth and a family-oriented person. And that ponytail flip leaves us all in awe. Enough said.

Alicia keys writes and sings her own songs. Her music combines elements of R&B, hip-hop, jazz, and classical music. All of these styles influenced her when she was growing up and since then she has released five albums and nabbed a whopping 15 Grammys in her nearly 20-year career.

Why she’s a Diva: 20 years into her career and Alicia just proved herself to be one honest and down to earth superstar. Her single 28 Thousand Days says a lot encouraging women to not hide and be scared of being too much.. too good, too smart, too beautiful, and be labeled by society. Alicia Keys also sports cool, fun and cool braided hairstyles. She ain’t one woman you’ll want to underestimate.
