"VH1 Divas" is back and ready to celebrate some soul.
On Thursday (October 27), it was announced that Mary J Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, Florence and the Machine and Jessie J will serve as the star-studded lineup for the long-running concert event, which airs December 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on VH1.
This year, VH1 is paying tribute to prominent birthplaces of soul music, including Chicago, Detroit, London, Memphis and Philadelphia. Blige and company are expected to pay homage to these cities and the genre through their own soulful tracks as well as some of the genre's classic tunes onstage at New York's iconic Hammerstein Ballroom.
And it's not just women who are in on the celebration, but also the Roots, who have been confirmed as the event's house band. ?uestlove is set to pull double-duty during the concert as musical director too.
In a press release for the ceremony, VH1's Lee Rolontz shared her thoughts on the 2011 theme. "This year's telecast will showcase the vast impact soul music has had on the 21st century's music and pop culture landscape as our talented and diverse lineup will attest," he said. "This year's Divas offers a modern twist on soul music, all while tipping its hat to the legacy of key cities that created this musical heritage."
Additional announcements regarding even more performers, presenters and special guests are to be expected in the coming weeks.
Clarkson took to Twitter shortly after the announcement to share her excitement. "Super stoked to announce that I am performing at #VH1DIVAS!!" the songstress tweeted. "VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul" marks the former "American Idol" alum's second appearance on the series. The singer appeared on the event's comeback ceremony in 2009 alongside Adele and Miley Cyrus.
