Deva's like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin have shaped music history

with their powerhouse voices and bold personalities.

For Deva Week, Harper's Bazaar spotlighted unforgettable moments from the past few decades

that captured their essence.

Take Whitney Houston's stunning national anthem at Super Bowl 25 in 1991.

The 27-year-old singer and a white tracksuit blew away 80 million viewers with her flawless

delivery, creating chills that still hit.

Today, meanwhile, events like Patti LaBelle's chaotic 1996 Christmas tree lighting performance

grabbed attention when backup singers vanished, leading to her epic onstage improv.

Then came the original VH-1 Deva's, live in 1998, where stars including Celine Dion and

Aretha Franklin teamed up for a massive carol.

Then cover that defined female power in music.

Fans still buzz over playful rivalries, such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's 1998

MTV Dress Matchup, where they turned feud, rumors into a hilarious shared gown reveal.

Mariah's classic shade toward Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s also became instant legend.

These snapshots from Lady Gaga's club hopping rants to Adele's blunt divorce line in 2021

show why Deva's remain cultural icons, keeping their spark alive across generations.
