September 8, 200915 yr Without disney her career would go the ways of hilary duff and ashley tisdale which is a shame cuz they both are so much better than her...anywayz cant wait to see kelly do already gone, and also looking foward to the duet with Adele, i wonder what they'll sing.
September 8, 200915 yr Adele and Leona really like each other's music apparently so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they duetted on something. Although now you've got me thinking how great it'd be if Leona and Kelly released a single :o
September 8, 200915 yr I would LOVE to hear a Kelly/Leona single :wub: Even just a duet on Divas would do. Minus Miley ofc.
September 9, 200915 yr Out of the line-up confirmed so far my ideal duets would be: Kelly and Leona! Would compliment each others voices so well :o Jordin and Jennifer - would be GREAT! Miley and Adele - Meh. Miley and Adele get each other by default really! LOL - Poor Miley!
