Lets us talk about a Diva today who is not actually a WWE Diva in the true sense, but as diva as any of the WWE Divas can be,
Yes, she is Lilian Annette García, popularly known as Lilian, and she is the ring announcer for the WWE. She is also a singer and ring announcer.

Lilian spent her childhood in madrid Spain and later came to the US and graduate summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina. A beauty with a cute brain, she was also a top ten finalist in the Miss South Carolina beauty pageant.

Lilian Garcia started her compering career on a popular morning show on radio station WYYS,”YES 97″ in Columbia with Chuck Finley in the early 90’s. She was also a VJ (video Jockey) also had her moment of film stardom, in the 1990 movie Modern Love, where she appeared as a singer.

But she is at her best singing, Lilian García began singing at the age of five.

Lilian used to sing the national anthem at home games of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and has performed at the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, and as an opening act for James Brown.

García released her first single, “Shout”, in 2002. In November of that same year, she recorded Torrie Wilson’s theme song, “Need A Little Time”, for the WWE Anthology album. In January 2004 WWE released the album WWE Originals which included a new track from Garcia that was inspired by Paul Brown, entitled, “You Just Don’t Know Me At All”. This became Garcia’s WWE theme song for WWE live events. Out of all the musicians who have opened WrestleMania events (most commonly singing “America the Beautiful”), Garcia is one of two singers to have sung the opening song at WrestleMania more than once. Aretha Franklin is the other.

García has been working on a debut solo album with producers George Noriega and Tim Mitchell since 2005. In January 2006, she recorded a duet with Latin pop singer Jon Secada.[5] On RAW in August, she announced that the title of her album would be Quiero Vivir, Spanish for I Wanna Live. It was released on October 9, 2007.
