    He is definitely a scene stealer. I saw Diana recently at Foxwoods Casino. While Rhonda was doing her opening act, you could see her son going crazy in the wings. When Diana did her act, he did the same. During the finale, Diana called him and the sons of her horn player on stage to dance and he went crazy. Finally, Diana had to sort of collar him to get him off. It was cute.

    The Grandson of Berry and Diana - it looks like he might have the drive to succeed.

    She didn't sing "More Today than yesterday". Did you watch the show?

    ... must be the posters here that I block. Poor dears - spend their lives trying to undo Diana's 60 years of blockbuster success [[and pretend another Supreme is a SOOPA-STAHH! ) i It's all they have; let them have it, I guess.

    As my good book says: "Let your haters be your motivators".

    Diana Ross gave a loving and winning performance on Sunday's AMAs. She sang The Best Years of My Life" because she was dedicating it to all of her fans. That was her present to US. She was acknowledging US and thanking US for our undying love and support.

    I'm glad she switched up the playlist - it kept it fresh and exposed viewers to some tracks that they otherwise may not have been familiar with but ultimately would stir up interest.

    She was in fine voice and she looked stunning.

    Thank God she did not sing Baby Love or Stop!

    Omg, if only she had done the full version of Surrender with a rocking band and fierce backup singers. It would have been beyond belief.

    That could have been very exciting too

    But it was great as it was; she sounded really good

    Why would Diana invite someone who has made a post-Supreme career out of bashing her? Being uninvited and unwelcome is exactly what Mary earned.

    Love Supreme:

    Diana Ross gave a loving and winning performance on Sunday's AMAs. She sang The Best Years of My Life" because she was dedicating it to all of her fans. That was her present to US. She was acknowledging US and thanking US for our undying love and support.

    I mostly agree with this . Diana sang BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE in a very heart-felt reflective way. I don't know the song, but listening to it, I was drawn in. I would say the perfect song choice for the occasion. And she didn't flinch about singing it live and up-close.

    Diana looked suitably stunning but I would've hoped for a bit more of a "wow" factor for this event. The rather plain , all-black attire served what purpose; it's a celebration of your lifetime achievements Diana, but that doesn't make it a wake !!!

    I hope to someday [[not now please !) learn what Mary has said about Diana that was so offensively off-base?

    Why would you invite a former colleague whom you were never that close to, and who [[ghost) wrote a kiss and tell book about you? Berry and Smokey were there, and they were the ones that mattered. Pity Stevie didn't make it, but you cannot have everything.

    Wilson?? Whatever - who would want another of her grandstanding stunts? Stevie's presence would have been nice; I think I read he had another baby recently. Other than that do we know what he's up to? New music would be nice.

    Yes. Rafi is going to be a force one day. I can imagine him when he's older on some show being interviewed, and they play back his segment on the AMA's honoring his grandmother. He was featured last year in his mother's beautiful video. I love this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9THtKBBJL70

    Jesus, is he still shooting out kids at his age?

    Rafi was certainly boogie-ing onstage.....while his cousin was eating boogies onstage.

    Why should Mary Wilson be invited? The Supremes weren't getting a lifetime achievment award. Mary would have no business being there.

    I actually couldn’t get The Best Years of my Life out of my head after the show

    More Today Than Yesterday is appealing to the public at concerts but I doubt it’s a fan favourite

    I agree as well. Take Me Higher is one of my all time favorite albums of Miss Ross. I'm glad that she keeps it in the act. I was also privileged to have been an extra in the I Will Survive video from that album. One of the ones in the crowd that caught Miss Ross when she swan dived into the crowd NOT letting any one know [[including the Producer, Steve Binder) that she was going to do this. Miss Ross had all of us who were in the private section that caught her stay after the shoot so that she could come out and personally thank all of us.

    I was pleased to see that she had Bob Ellis Silberstein [[Tracee and Chudney's father) up on stage as well what appeared to be a couple of Arne's Children that she still has close relations with.

    She has retained a close bond with two of Arnie's children, and they regard Diana's daughters as siblings as well as the boys who are siblings.
