In the sense that their parts could be replaced/mixed with other singers, they did become background singers. Let's also not forget that although Florence, Mary, and Cindy were part of the stardom, whose name does the public remember today? Diana's. I think that's the struggle the film attempts to highlight - the hard work leading up to, in the long run, a relatively small amount of recognition.
