A diva is a celebrated female singer. The Italian term is used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre and popular music. The meaning of ‘diva' is closely related to that of "prima donna". The basic sense of the term is "Goddess" or "fine lady" and it derives from the Latin ‘divus' meaning ‘divine'. ~ Wikipedia
