A diva (/ˈdiːvə/; Italian: [ˈdiːva]) is a celebrated female singer; a woman of outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre, cinema and popular music. The meaning of diva is closely related to that of prima donna.
The word entered the English language in the late 19th century. It is derived from the Italian noun diva, a female deity. The plural of the word in English is "divas"; in Italian, dive [ˈdiːve]. The basic sense of the term is goddess, the feminine of the Latin word divus (Italian divo), someone deified after death, or Latin deus, a god.
The male form divo exists in Italian and is usually reserved for the most prominent leading tenors, like Enrico Caruso and Beniamino Gigli. The Italian term divismo describes the star-making system in the film industry. In contemporary Italian, diva and divo simply denote much-admired celebrities, especially film actresses and actors, and can be translated as "(film) star". The Italian actress Lyda Borelli is considered the first cinematic diva, following her breakthrough role in Love Everlasting (1913).

Genres: Musical, Short,When I wake up feelin' victimized
There was nothin' that can stop my eyes
From cryin', cryin'
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm tryin', tryin'
Baby, I'm no superman
Baby, I'm no superman
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
When love is gone, I can't carry on
When you know that love is on my mind
When you know that love is on my mind
It's a perfect chance to be unkind
You do it, do it
Within the arms of misery
Being sly you take a chance on crime
But the master has a new design
On loving, living
Out and in the enemy
Out and in the enemy
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
When love is gone, I can't carry on
Eyes that open wide
Do you do
The love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?
When I wake up feelin' victimized
There was nothin' that can stop my eyes
From cryin', cryin'
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm tryin', tryin'
Baby, I'm no superman
Hey baby, I'm no superman
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, ooh dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, ooh dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Love that you give to me
Dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
