Lights dim, crowd cheers, spotlight hits center stage
Emcee: Welcome to The Music Biz: DIVAS. Ladies and gentlemen: Nate Nash!
PERFORMANCE: Nate Nash, “Know My Name”
Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen, your host for this evening’s telecast: Nate Nash!
Nash: Thank you! Thank you for having me. I am so excited to be here tonight. Usually whenever there’s a lineup as big as the one we have tonight, we’re all sitting in the audience anxious to find out who won an award. Tonight, however, we’re here to celebrate the finest divas in the business. I will be your host for this evening’s festivities, and I’m honored to be sharing the stage with all of these incredible ladies. We have great performances, mega-star presenters, and some surprise guests tonight, so sit back and enjoy. Without further adieu, let’s get going with our very first diva of the night. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a Country music superstar and a superstar of any format, period: Erica Posey!
PERFORMANCE: Erica Posey, “Wine After Whiskey”
Emcee: From Radioactive, please welcome Kevin Stockley.
Stockley: Y’know, it’s so refreshing to see rock represented anywhere, but by a female? That’s even greater. I have to say that I admire our next diva because of her “I don’t take [EXPLICIT] from anyone” kind of attitude. Her recent single, “Golden Lie”, became her first top 20 hit on Pop, and she shows no signs of slowing down. Here to perform “Cross My Heart”, Crystal Marx!
PERFORMANCE: Crystal Marx, “Cross My Heart”
Nash: I’m such a fan of all of the women in music. Before we move on, I’d just like to thank all of the women out there that have spent endless days killing it and making everything look so easy. Oh, and they have to do it in heels, too. All men are not worthy! Moving along, please welcome our next two presenters. One is the newest “American Idol” winner who currently has a top 10 Country hit, and another is a breakthrough Pop star who can be seen on tour across the globe this summer and fall; please welcome Jana Kramer and Kalea Prescovia!
Kramer: I have to say, Kalea, I’m so honored to be standing here with you and all of the women that are performing tonight. It’s so great to be in the presence of women who have helped pave the way for people like me.
Prescovia: You’re very sweet, Jana, thank you. I, too, am honored to be here, and I’m also very excited to present this next diva. She has become one of the biggest stars in music, period. Earlier this year, she killed the Superbowl halftime show. Now, she’s here to steal the hearts of the world once more. Ladies and gentlemen…
Prescovia & Kramer together: Anna Thomas!
PERFORMANCE: Anna Thomas, “Don’t Hold Your Breath”
*commercial break*
Emcee: Welcome back to The Music Biz DIVAS. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Justin Pratt.
Pratt: Real quickly, let’s give it up to Nate Nash! Great host! This next performer has done it all. She’s a tour de force. She’s getting ready to drop her next album that’s sure to be another monster seller. Here to perform “Ace in the Hole”, the lead single from her third album, Headlines, please welcome Sheki!
PERFORMANCE: Sheki, “Ace in the Hole”
Sheki receives a standing ovation.
Nash: Wow, let’s hear it one more time for Sheki! Here to present our next diva, please welcome Haley Allen!
Allen: What can I say about Emma Smith? She’s beautiful, she’s an amazing vocalist, and some have even called her the next Katy Perry. That’s quite the big title, but she’s fulfilled it and done even MORE. Here tonight to perform “Naturally,” one of our divas: Emma Smith!
PERFORMANCE: Emma Smith, “Naturally”
Emcee: Please welcome Billie Jones.
Jones: This next diva needs no introduction. She is one of the biggest stars in the game. She’s been killing it single after single, hit after hit, and award after award. She just received three VMA nominations, and now she’s receiving the honor as one of TMB’s DIVAs. Please welcome Samantha Marquez!
PERFORMANCE: Samantha Marquez, “The War is Over”
*commercial break*
Nash: Welcome back to DIVAs! Before we bring out our final diva for her solo performance, let’s take a moment to remember the ladies we lost this past year.
In Memoriam
*commercial break*
Emcee: Please welcome Layla and Mr. Whiz.
Mr. Whiz: Layla, I’ve gotta say that you’ve been straight-up HOT on the scene lately. I love Country music and you have been one of my favorites.
Layla: Well thank you, Whiz, but let’s not pretend that you aren’t killing it everywhere! How many #1 albums do you have now?
Mr. Whiz: Thanks, babe. Well enough about us. We are excited to present an amazing Country singer that’s gone global. Here to perform “Some People”, please welcome Amanda Madison!
PERFORMANCE: Amanda Madison, “Some People”
Amanda Madison receives a standing ovation.
*commercial break*
Nash: Now we get to the real fun part of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, we have some surprises up our sleeves with this half of the show. I’m so, so honored to present these next two ladies. Please welcome back to the stage Sheki with special guest, Mary J. Blige!
PERFORMANCE: Sheki & Mary J. Blige, “The Thrill is Gone”
Sheki and Mary J. Blige receive a standing ovation.
Emcee: Please welcome Jackson Price!
Price: Thank you! One of the best parts about tonight’s show is the fact that two worlds of different kinds of music can come together to create one magical moment. Here to perform “Need Your Love”, please welcome Pink and Emma Smith!
PERFORMANCE: Emma Smith & Pink, “Need Your Love”
Emma Smith and Pink receive a standing ovation.
*commercial break*
Nash: I’ve gotta say that the people in the audience tonight are having the best experience ever because I just tripped walking out to stage before we came off of commercial break. Gotta love live TV, folks, but it’s only something you can catch when you’re here. Sorry, viewers! Anyways, our next presenter is burning up the Country charts left and right with #1 hits, Grammys, and Billboard Music Awards galore. Please welcome Kymbyrly Creek!
Creek: I grew up listening to Country music, and I’m honored to be a part of such a format that include my childhood idols. I envy our next diva beyond words because she’s about to perform with one of the biggest Country stars ever. Here to sing “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” is Erica Posey and Shania Twain!
PERFORMANCE: Erica Posey & Shania Twain, “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”
Erica Posey and Shania Twain receive a standing ovation.
Emcee: Please welcome Belle Meade and Joel Kennedy.
Kennedy: This next diva has often been compared to the lead singer of the guest performer she’s about to storm the stage with. So, she figured: why not just show fans that we can be similar artists but different entities?
Meade: Ladies and gentlemen, here to perform the rock anthem of the 2000s, please welcome Crystal Marx and Evanescence!
PERFORMANCE: Crystal Marx & Evanescence, “Bring Me To Life”
Crystal Marx and Evanescence receive a standing ovation.
Nash: Wow, let’s hear it one more time for Crystal Marx and Evanescence! Here to introduce our next groundbreaking collaboration, please welcome Ryan Cohen!
Cohen: I’m honored to present this next diva, and I’m even more honored to present this next legend that she’s collaborating with. She’s back to perform again with another diva tonight. Please welcome Samantha Marquez and Pink!
PERFORMANCE: Samantha Marquez & Pink, “The Great Escape”
Samantha Marquez and Pink receive a standing ovation.
*commercial break*
Emcee: Welcome back to DIVAs. Please welcome Jennifer Andrews.
Andrews: Country is the United States’ most-played format. It’s created so many different types of music in this country. I’m honored to stand here and present the most iconic Country music singer of all time. Ladies and gentlemen, performing with Amanda Madison, please welcome the one and only Loretta Lynn!
PERFORMANCE: Amanda Madison & Loretta Lynn, “Coal Miner’s Daughter”
Amanda Madison and Loretta Lynn receive a standing ovation.
Nash: You just don’t find performances like that anywhere else, folks. Before the show ends, we have one final, iconic performance for you all. To present our last performance of the night, please welcome Melanie Brown and Monica!
Brown: I don’t know about you, Monica, but this next collaboration has gotten me excited since I first heard about it.
Monica: Oh, you’re not alone. Here to get everyone on their feet, please welcome two Pop legends: Anna Thomas and Lady Gaga!
PERFORMANCE: Anna Thomas & Lady Gaga, “Applause”
Anna Thomas and Lady Gaga receive a standing ovation.
*all divas walk out to center stage, as well as all guest performers*
