"She's legendary and is a performer who's etched in our minds and throughout the human experience. She's a personification of what it means to love music and appreciate great artistry." Yup - that about sums it up!
Now I know who wrote that!!
These are the types of shows Diana Ross will have to rely more and more on in the future. Multiple acts on the same bill.
Diana is a very charismatic performer but when it comes to great artistry I think of Roberta Flack, Barbra, Aretha, Otis,...no?
Do you think Diane is still charismatic as a performer as in having an effect on the audience? Charisma "moves" people. I think her Billie Holiday work could be associated with being charasmatic.
Aretha, Babs, and Roberta are in a class by themselves.
You are extremely rude. Diana Ross recently sold out a slate of shows at New York's City Center, which is a prestigous New York theater/concert venue. She opened the refurbished King's Theater in Brooklyn back in 2015.
She performs at different venues that cater to ALL of her fans whether it's at the Essence Festival or a major concert hall like City Center.
You're diminishing of her career is downright rude, nasty, false, unneccessary and uncalled for!
Here we go again.
You need to ignore Marv; well, or respond in kind.
Marv feels that it was him singing that "Diana was the greatest star"; Mary got over it; he didn't.
There's a double standard when it comes to Diana. Mary can play a 400 seat venue called Porthcawl and it is a prestigious venue according to Marv. Lol.
I love it ......"Star Power"
The only thing djt has said right: '... somebody sitting on the bed that weighs 400 pounds'. Not that it pertains to anything. I just thought of it.
Perhaps PeaceNHarmony could use a name change to NastyNBitter. Why make personal attacks?
@marv2: Gurl u is a mess. Check yo self.
I truly admire Diana because she can play the high class clubs or the smaller casinos. As the article mentioned they have been trying to get her for years. She can play million $$ birthday bashes or smaller supper clubs but whatever she plays she always reign SUPREME. This is one reason why Mary Wilson would give anything or any organ to share the stage with her again.
Diana has found her way to reconnect with the fans and she is moving forward.
She needs to get a manager to guide what's left of her career as an oldies act. Maybe she could find someone willing to record her.

Here in the U.K we have a festival called Glastonbury [[ some of you may have heard of it lol) and for the past few years the organisers have been begging none other than a Miss Diana Ross to appear as the main headliner and every year at the end of Glastonbury the rumours start about who will be there next year and its always Dianas name up front...Lionel,Barry and Nile have all tried to persuade her but shes always too busy....now this festival just happens to be one of the biggest and well known in the world so it just goes to show that she is still in HUGE demand not just in the U.S.A but worldwide...so i kind of think that theres some real bitterness here folks with the usual folks trying to make out that Diana is not a crowd puller...well i really hope she takes up the offer one day and that will show the usual bitter folks just what a legend she is ...not much they can say about that is there.
Hey Mowsville - nice to hear from a UK-er and be aware that not every American voted for djt ... that being said I too think G'bury would be a great gig for Miss Ross and the crowd as well. We'll all keep our fingers crossed! Be well during your country's new experience - I hope it works out for all.
