History Main / EvilDiva

* {{Spider-Man}} has the D-List villain, The Hypno-Hustler.

There is this one pop singer, who recently became the biggest thing since television. She's beautiful and came out of nowhere all of the sudden. Oh, and her voice is so wonderful and clear and great and and and.... Ah, let's just listen to her new single! ...Oh wait, how come I'm so tired suddenly? Why are the words "[[MassHypnosis OBEY ME]]" stuck in my head? I don't remem..... OhCrap.

Congratulations, you encountered the Evil Diva! With her magical voice, microphone, instrument, etc the Evil Diva becomes a rising star and draws all the of the world's attention to herself and her "talent". Her songs may seem better to you than they actually are, hypnotize you, turn you into TheHeartless, steal your soul or the like. She's also always female and usually a poster-child example of EvilIsSexy. She's a subtrope of the IdolSinger and may or may not overlap with the DarkMagicalGirl. As such, they have a tendency to pull a HeelFaceTurn.

TheHero may or may not be immune to the effects of her music. His/Her {{Sidekick}}s or TrueCompanions are usually not. Her fighting style usually has ThePowerOfRock on its side, and may even make her appearance into a MusicalEpisode.

* Utau Hoshina from ''ShugoChara'' rips out the Egg of Dreams of the hearts of her fans. [[spoiler: Until she has her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* While not being ''evil'' per se, Onpu Segawa from ''OjamajoDoremi'' used her magic to let herself look more impressive than she actually was (to her defense: She is ''still'' damn good without it) and to sell evil jewellery for her master. [[spoiler: She later has a HeelFaceTurn and joins the main group.]]

* Mimi Hanju (or better said, the MonsterOfTheWeek that kidnapped and impersonated her) from ''SailorMoon''
** In the {{manga}} of ''SailorMoon'', Mimete of the Witches 5 is an idol, and uses her music as a method of brainwashing. It's pretty apt that her counterpart Senshi is wannabe idol Sailor Venus.

* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Diva]] from ''BloodPlus''. Voice could activate bat...wolf... things in some humans.

* Misa Amane from ''DeathNote'' is a non-singing version of an Evil Diva. She's a model and actress by day, and at night, she's the Second Kira. Not to mention her room is full of Gothic ornaments and she hangs out with occultist friends.
** She does get to sing in the anime, but that may have to deal with her being voiced by AyaHirano...

* ''Anime/{{EL}}'': The masked terrorist "Gimmick", who is revealed early on to be Reiko, the purple-haired idol singer/assassin seen in the opening of the anime.

* The title characters in the ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'' movie become like this, albeit unwittingly. Josie herself winds up getting {{brainwashed}} with [[SubliminalSeduction subliminal messages]] in order to turn her into a bitchy diva who will break up the band and pursue a solo career (the record company was getting annoyed with Melody and Valerie, and felt that Josie could sell more records on her own). A more conventionally evil example would be Fiona, the divaish CEO of [=MegaRecords=] who, while not a singer herself, was the one responsible for putting subliminal messages into her label's music in order to [[SubliminalAdvertising sell consumer products to teenagers]]. [[spoiler:Her ''real'' goal, however, was to use the messages to get people to like her and look up to her as a fashion idol, having never gotten over the brutal humiliation she suffered in high school for her bad teeth and her lisp.]]

** Although [[{{Kesha}} Ke$ha]] gives her a run for its money. She really does try to at least make evil sexy! Or more like, using empty temptations of sexiness to get people to abandon [[TheBeatles perfectly]] [[EltonJohn good]] [[KanyeWest musicians]] [[MoneyDearBoy just so she can make money is evil.]] Same difference.

* ''{{Emogame}} 2'' has as its main villains The Friends Theory, a band formed by the cast of ''{{Friends}}'' that uses the power of {{MTV}} and SubliminalSeduction to turn America into a nation of soulless, corporate yuppie zombies.
* [[TheDitz Linda]] from ''{{Okage}}'' ends up doing this, albeit accidentally. She hypnotized the entire city of Madril into loving her singing, not aware that she had somehow absorbed some of [[HarmlessVillain Evil King Stan's]] magic power. [[spoiler: Upon finding out what she was doing, she runs off to her dungeon and fights the party because she thinks it is training from her "Coach", Stan. Upon her defeat, the power goes back to Stan and she cheerfully joins the party.]]

* Experiment 624: Angel from ''LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. She appears irresistibly attractive to all the other experiments and her voice has the power to reverse the morality of every experiment made before her, and thus only Stitch (626) and Reuben (625) are immune. Probably wouldn't work on [[GigglingVillain 6]][[TheHyena 2]][[LaughingMad 7]] either.

* [[PhineasAndFerb Dr. Doofensmirtz]] tries to be the [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to this trope in an episode. He wears a [[NiceHat cowboy hat]] that changes his voice to be hypnotic, causing whoever listens to want to obey him.
* One episode of "Animaniacs" has the Brain taking on the persona of "Bubba Bo Bob Brain," who has "calculated every ingredient necessary to become a country music superstar".

* One episode of "Animaniacs" has the Brain taking on the persona of "Bubba Bo Bob Brain," who has "calculated every ingredient necessary to become a country music superstar"

* Utau Hoshina from ''ShugoChara'' rips out the Egg of Dreams of the hearts of her fans.

TheHero may or may not be immune to the effects of her music. His/Her {{Sidekick}}s or the other members of the {{Nakama}} are usually not. Her fighting style usually has ThePowerOfRock on its side, and may even make her appearance into a MusicalEpisode.

* Lord Raptor from ''{{Darkstalkers}}'', at least in the backstory, was a male instance of this. The OVA series even includes a scene where he delivers another performance merely to suck up everyone's souls.

* Aya Asia from ''MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro''.

* A western example is Ember from ''DannyPhantom''.

** Although [[{{Kesha}} Ke$ha]] gives her a run for its money. She really does try to at least make evil sexy! Or more like, using empty temptations of sexiness to get people to abandon [[TheBeatles perfectly]] [[EltonJohn good]] [[KanyeWest musicians]] just so she can make money is evil. Same difference.

* Angel from ''LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. She appears irresistibly attractive to all the other experiments and her voice has the power to reverse the morality of every experiment, save Stitch and Reuben. Angel being 624, Reuben 625, and Stitch 626. The only reason she couldn't do it to them is she existed before them. Probably wouldn't work on [[GigglingVillain 6]][[TheHyena 2]][[LaughingMad 7]] either.

* While not being ''evil'' per se, Onpu Segawa from ''OjamajoDoremi'' used her magic to let herself look more impressive than she actually was (to her defense: She is ''still'' damn good without it) and to sell evil jewelery for her master. [[spoiler: She later has a HeelFaceTurn and joins the main group.]]
* Alala from ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'', but only in the anime.
** Don't the others count? Like, the Black Beauty Sisters, [[VillainousCrossdresser Lady Bat]], and [[DragonLady Lanhua]]?

* {{One hit wonder}} [[TheEighties '80s]] pop star Bibi Love in ''DeadRising 2'', although she's not so much the "{{take over the world}}" variety as she is the "[[AxCrazy go crazy]] and kidnap people during a ZombieApocalypse" variety. [[spoiler:Unlike the game's other psychopaths, she can be [[HeelFaceTurn redeemed and rescued]].]]

* Angel from ''LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. She appears irresistibly attractive to all the other experiments and her voice has the power to reverse the morality of every experiment, save Stitch and Reuben.

** Though she does get to sing, but that may have to deal with her being voiced by AyaHirano...

* Courtney Gears from RatchetAndClank could mind control fellow robots with her songs, though the CrushKillDestroy theming was fairly obvious.

* A Male pop star unknowingly became this on ''TotallySpies''.

* ''{{Emogame}} 2 -- The Epic Quest Continues'' has The Friends Theory, a band formed by the cast of ''{{Friends}}'' that uses the power of {{MTV}} and SubliminalSeduction to turn America into a nation of soulless, corporate yuppie zombies.
