A diva is a female performer, usually an opera singer, who is extremely talented but very imperious and tempermental. But the distinguishing factor is that her talent permits somewhat uncouth behaviour. A diva is not necessarily difficult to work with, she is just very professional and and has a low tolerance for incompetence. A diva is NOT just some no-talent pop singer who thinks everyone should acquiesce to her every whim, or even worse, some woman who is unecessarily rude, mean, bitchy, and often stupid just because she "knows what she wants" and revels in being high maitenance. These woman do not deserve the title of diva, because they have no redeeming talent or quality. They are simply loud and oboxious bitches. True divas should be treated with respect for their enormous talent and strong will.
Maria Callas was a quintessential diva, even being nicknamed "La Divina".
Kathleen Battle took her diva ways to new heights, and was subsequently banned from singing at the Metropolitan Opera.

usually not a girly girl, once she knows what she wants she does everything to get it and leaves everyone who is not worthy of her time behind she is most likely very stubborn and very artistic (any form of art that she expresses makes people cry) her partner is crime is usually someone exactly like her or someone who has a lot in common

A fierce, often temperamental singer who comes correct. She is not a trick ass hoe, and she does not sweat the haters.
I, myself have been considered quite a diva at many a local restaurant, because I know what I want, and I will send a dish back.

A woman who is usually perceived as bitch or self-absorbed, which in some cases they are. A diva is a woman who has self-confidence, self-respect, and hella swagger. She knows who she is and exactly where she is going. Her style and attitude are on point even when she is not trying. People typically gravitate to her because they respect her swagger.
