VH1 Divas 2009 Show Photo Gallery

After a four-year absence, VH1 revived its annual "VH1 Divas" show with a live performance on Sept. 17, 2009 in front of a sold-out crowd at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House. Ex-"American Idol" judge Paul Abdul hosted the event, and performers included Kelly Clarkson (accompanied by Melissa Etheridge), Jordin Sparks (with Martina McBride), Jennifer Hudson (with the only male artist to perform, Stevie Wonder), Adele (plus India.Arie), Miley Cyrus (Sheryl Crow) and Leona Lewis (with Cyndi Lauper). Some of the best photos from the 2009 VH1 Divas show are included in this image gallery.
