Never saw this before. A fun interview. Love her interviews with Oprah, Charlie Rose, etc. but this is refreshing.She's funny and charming.Similar rapport she had with David Letterman. Thank you, Luke.
Your welcome lucky. I think a lot of hosts are too reverential with her. Maybe she likes to have fun!
I hardly think she was really joking. Diana Ross was enraged with jealousy over Whitney Houston. She had several opportunities to slap Whitney in the face, but didn't try it. She must have remembered she no longer had Flo and Mary around to protect her. Whitney would have broke her arm off and shove it far up her a**! LOL! Diana Ross is so crazy. LOL!

Well, I doubt very much that Diana wanted to slap Whitney across the face - what good would that do? Maybe she was jealous in some way - I’m sure a lot of singers were a little envious of Whitney’s gigantic success, maybe she wasn’t also - of all people, YOU don’t know - but I enjoy you’re ability to present your obsessive projections onto Ross and others. Maybe Diana, like many, knew that while Whitney was a mega talent and success, she was also just a low class, ghetto frump [[https://youtu.be/PpgR-2CVJPE) and wouldn’t trade places with her crazy ass for nothing!
‘I often wonder what kind of violent household you grew up in to constantly seek out violence as a way to settle disputes and conclude differences of opinion. Most people use rational thought to get along in this world. Where I grew up, fighting was a rarity and usually was enraged by the intoxicated or raging hormone pubescent teens.......not adults. To my knowledge, none of my family, friends or co-workers have ever been in a fight - and if so, it was probably before their tenth birthday.
‘Just 5 years after this video, Whitney was becoming a hot mess and had a drug problem that was causing her to miss events and effect her work. In less than ten, she was a verifiable hot mess with the bad judgement to raise a poor child to grow into a hot mess. There’s really not a lot to envy here overall, sadly. I wish you peace, Marv. I wish you well.
Whenever someone comes in and gets obsessed over women fighting and is too serious about it, just do this and move on, people:
The back and forth is not worth it.
But yeah, I loved this interview.
Eh. Just let them talk. Better than confront it and mess up the dialog among the Supremes fans.
Diane was so insanely jealous of Whitney that she could barely hide it here LOL!
I answered my own question. I believe this is the story you were referencing. Whitney was not boo'ed but Evan came to her defense at an event where a disrespectful parody was being performed onstage, less than a week after her death.

Also, pictures speak volumes sometimes:
the solitary, distraught man cannot direct this fierce aggressiveness which consumes him against anyone, he therefore has no other target than members of the forum who rejoice on Diana's recent success on the charts.
Well this is a guy who thinks Ike Turner and Bobby Brown were decent people so...
I thought better of you than that. You have never heard or seen a post of mine that states that I think Ike Turner and Bobby Brown were decent people. If anything I brought up the fact that the women you always are defending were not completely innocent in their situations. Blame everything on the man has been the routine in this messed up "society" we now live in. I'd appreciate you not lying on me like this! I understand that you do these things to try to impress some of these folks on here,but they are not worth impressing if you have to make up lies on others to do so. It's sick.
Diana was having fun. I've never seen this but love it! Thank you for posting.

Quite interesting that people go after a person personally who posts his views about a singer rather than just stating their views about the singer. They are doing what they object to only worse. I hope Ralph deletes this thread for the lack of respect.
Ralph said he ain't got nothing to do with it. This thread is doing alright regardless anyway.
Um - is there a difference between posting your views about a singer and stating your views about the singer? Seems to be the same thing to me
If your an ass consistently and persistently, you deserve to be told so
And when many many many people say so endlessly, you should be taking the message to heart
Unless of course, you just want to do it to attract attention and because you have no other life
Who cares what Nobody-Talks-About-Diane-But-I-Talk-About-Diane-All-the-Time has to say about anything? Y'all always letting him derail the conversation. So now nearly every post after his has been about him vs the actual video. Clearly he's a diva who wants all of the attention on himself and not anyone else. He'll never be Diana, so please stop making him feel like he can. When he starts talking silly talk, ignore him.
The Supremes section had been doing so good. No surprise who would set it off.
I don't know whether or not Diana Ross was actually jealous of Whitney Houston, it was definitely something the press like to put forward in the late 1980s, and not just the tabloid press [[the 1989 cover story in Vanity Fair claimed Ross was "obsessed" by Houston). Diva stories do well in the papers and it is a shame artists are pitted against each other--happening most often to women and particularly women of color. Jealous or not, it seems that Ross was and is quite comfortable with the level of fame she had in comparison to Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston. Unlike them, she was and is able to lead a relatively "normal" life, not having to go in disguise when she goes out. Today on Instagram someone posted a picture of Ross sitting next to her in the Apple store taking the Apple class! Her only real regret [[as she has expressed many times in interviews and her autobiography) is not being able to do the Josephine Baker story on the big screen. Although there is quite an overlap in the style of music [[four of the ten songs on Whitney Houston's first album were Michael Masser ballads) and possible movie projects [[The Bodyguard was initially intended for Ross), the two performers are very different, particularly Houston's voice which is a quite different instrument than Ross's one. Houston is sadly missed, and I'm sure Ross would agree.
I am not sure Diana was jealous of Whitney, but she was no doubt envious of her success, but i think we can safely say that the likes of Aretha, Dionne, Gladys, Patti and just about every other female singer active during that period were also a little envious of Whitney's success, but i never once heard Diana speak ill of Whitney. The only other female singer whom i heard her say anything remotely uncomplimentary about was Madonna, and there were very good reasons for that which i will not go into here.
For years it was rumored she was jealous of Barbra Streisand. Jealous seems an odd word to describe her feelings or thoughts.
But in this interview, she seems very defensive when Streisand is mentioned.
