No Reunion for the Supremes

[skooldem1]

Legendary Icon Diana Ross surely doesn't need it. Why is there always this talk about a reunion? Why are "Supreme" fans always wishing for a reunion when by all accounts they couldn't wait for Diana to leave the group, didn't enjoy her when she was in it, and think she was the least talented member? Inquiring minds really want to know.

To recapture the magic that was the Supremes despite everything else.

You're telling the truth. What kills me are those Diana haters on this forum who bash her and her children at every turn...Look at what they had to say after her recent appearance on Oprah. But they think she should reunite with Cindy and Mary [[They are so transparent because they just want to see a boost to the latter's bank account and career). They can't stand Diana and have made this quite CLEAR. She already tried a reunion, but someone wasn't happy with the millions she would have made. Diana's made it quite clear, she's not looking backwards. I don't see a reunion ever taking place.

Then why go to class reunions, family reunions?

I never wanted Diana to leave the Supremes, either. And I saw her [[and still do!) as the most talented. But I liked them
when they were a real group--not a leader and a group. And, yes, I would go see a reunion show of her with Mary & Cindy.

Excellent Randy and Motown 1056. Both of these make sense. I wish it could happen. But the apparent fans Motown 1056 have referred to have made it even worse. Darn. I can't see this happening.

[thommg]

Ummmmm...... who was talking about a reunion?

[skooldem1]

Check all the other Diana/supremes threads.

[thommg]

There is one mention of an interviewer asking Mary about one. They always ask that. This is not news.

[selbmarsh2000]

The past cannot be recaptured.

Yes it can. Look at Joan Rivers' face.

[tamla617]

this is just another thread to get drats etc in to go with the 20 or so in the first 25 threads,just incase we run out of them.
how many times are we to have a reunion thread?

there isnt going to be one btw.

[jobeterob]

It's like a period.........once a month,right?

[captainjames]

Give it a rest peeps, for the last 11 years I have been saying THERE WILL BE NO SUPREME REUNION nor a Diana Ross and Supreme Reunion. Perhaps I should put it another way; there will be no reunion with Diana Ross and Mary Wilson on the same stage together.

[soulster]

There can be no reunion without Florence Ballard. Even if she had lived, I doubt they would want to go back to the memories of what had transpired. Same thing with the Beatles. Besides, Ross had moved on.

I shake my head in diesbelieve and amazing whenever I come across yet another Supremes thread on this board.
The haters here can't stand Diana and bash her at every opportunity they get, yet they want her to reunite with Mary and Cindy, WHY?????? to boost Mary and Cindy's financial/ career suituation, other than that, I don't see a reason why those who seem to hate Diana so much wants her to agree to a Supremes reunion.
My question is if Diana agreed to a reunion, will the haters then decide that they did like Diana after all and that they only hate her all along because she left the Supremes to have a sucessful career on her own????? but if she decides to reunite with Mary and Cindy, they would decide that they liked her all along.
Don't make no sense to me. what are the motive of the haters??? and why are they so desperate for Diana to reunite with her ex group members????
That is what I like to know.

[daddyacey]

It's like dead people. The only sad people are the ones that are left behind.
Your first crush.
It's like that first time you have sex.
The first job.
That sandwhich you had whenever.
It happened.
Jeeeezzzz!!!!

[theboyfromxtown]

Ross lovers and haters have to each share some of the blame for the nastiness on threads for responding to each other and continuing the unpleasantness.

It's very sad to see on an international forum.

[144man]

Beethoven said that one day he would hear in Heaven, and I now believe that's the only place I might ever see a Supremes' reunion.

John, the immature 'feuds' over several subjects between some people on this forum is not only embarrasing because of the 'just reading' visitors of the forum who will NEVER return after one visit, it also is a slap in the face of Ralph and many others who invest in this forum trying to build a legacy.
Many Motown artists, musicians, producers, technicians... many people from all over the world who DO matter in Motown's history...the've all turned their backs on the forum because of it.
Which is a bl**dy/f*cking shame. Better still, it's an historical blunder.
There, I've said it.

[honest man]

John and Robbert you are both so right, i used to look forward to access this site ,so often but the last few months i tend to spend 20 mins max,it is going right down the pan as far as im concerned,with all these DRATS FLO/MARY -FAMILY RELATED FEUDS. IT IS SO BORING, no i don't read them anymore,would not waste my brain capacity. I Tend to avoid these threads,like to read BOYFROMXTOWN remarks, hence me looking.But i agree i think -maybe the site will be pulled, what a big shame that will be for all of us all for the sake of a few D--- Heads, . this morning the first couple of threads where about Marv johnson.the isley-GKATP, i was going to comment how refreshing it was to see a swing in the threads, but thought better,as it would no doubt stir a few of the idiots on this forum to spoil another thread, anyway thank you guys for the pointer,sorry it had to be said,but there it goes.

[arrr&bee]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...hey voice come over here and read this stuff!!

[carlo]

I agree with boyfromxtown and robbert. This is getting so old.

I'm a fan of both Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and The Supremes. I have never allowed all the drama to affect my love for all the Supreme ladies and their music.

My question is: Why does it bother some fans so much that other fans still hope for a reunion? You guys keep mentioning "haters". I'm a fan of all the ladies and I still would like a reunion. I'm in no way a hater. People have different opinions on the reunion subject and I respect that. Some keep saying it will never happen and just give up the dream. I believe that I can continue to believe what I want to believe...so why should that bother you? I'm a person of faith, so I guess I can't help it. I've never looked at the circumstance, even when something seems impossible. I've always had hope. So who are you to take that hope away from somebody?

So at the end of the day: I have the right to believe in a reunion just as much as you have a right to believe there won't be a reunion. Period. Too bad everybody couldn't think this way and just respect each others' opinions. Maybe there would be much less fighting amongst fans.

[robbert]

There's more to it than that, carlo, I'm afraid.
Someone in a healthy state of mind doesn't spend that much time and effort on an international music forum, just to call other people vulgar names. There must be a lot of despair underneath.
You don't have to have a degree in psychology to figure out what's going on here. Some people on this forum have no idea whatsoever how to behave towards other people, calling them names, liars, haters, or the seemingly polite "ma'am". Maybe they call it 'freedom of speech', but I can sense a world of bitterness behind it. Maybe they are disappointed in more than one aspect of their lives, I don't know.
The whole world seems to be in some sort of despair, crises everywhere, political, social as well as financial, as if humanity has to creep out of a dark age, again.
May the good spirits help us all.

[midnightman]

The Beatles didn't reunite even when John & George were living.
The Rolling Stones have feuds every now and then but when money's low, they go on tour.
The Temptations and Four Tops are surviving with one original member and four replacements.
The Marvelettes unfortunately CAN'T reunite due to the tragic circumstances of the lead singers and the original members and the "fake" groups taking their places.
Martha and the Vandellas tour separately.
Stevie Wonder is chilling at home with his wife and kids.
The Jackson 5 are bankrupt but still living wealthy through Michael's money [[through Katherine Jackson).
Berry Gordy is resting in the hills of Los Angeles.
Smokey Robinson is probably performing at some casino resort right now.

Yet we sit here and constantly dream of a group to reunite despite rumors and tales of everything that has been discussed on this forum and outside of it, delusional folks who think they know the insides of the three original members and the members after them, and can't just be happy that at least the TWO original members are carrying on the group's legacy with their OWN careers?!

We can't be satisfied with Diana Ross and Mary Wilson enjoying their solo successes into their 60s going on 70s?

Really? No, I mean, really?

Why can't we stop talking about it? It seems like every time the Supremes are discussed, it sound like we each get diagnosed with cancer? It's getting to the point of being real ridiculous. Now it's gotten to the point where we discuss some original Supremes member's perfect feet or thinking in some sick twisted fantasy that Diana and Mary will fight to the death.

You think the Supremes' music suck with all this attention about their offstage stories and "rivalry" or whatever some people here concoct.

Like I said, I demand for someone to make a thread saying "F**k the Supremes, they all suck."

I'm just waiting for it. Don't say I didn't warn y'all either.

Stop...in the name of making another Supremes thread.

I have got no problem at all with some fans who are lovers of both Mary and Diana still wishing for a reunion, what I have got problem with is some people here who can't stand Diana and seem to dislike her still wants her to reunion with Mary even though there overall opinion is that Diana sucks, so if these people [[they know who they, so I won't mention any names) hates Diana so much, why do they still want to see Diana on stage with Mary?????? rather than seeing Diana with Mary and Cindy, wouldn't they rather see another Supreme other than Diana on stage with Mary and Cindy?????

Even though I know it would never happen, it would still be great to see a reunion with Diana, Mary and Cindy cause I love Diana and respect the other 2 ladies and thought they were great as a trio but what agenda has the Diana haters or Mary haters got still wishing to see them together???? seems a bit two faced to me and contradicting to me, saying you love Mary and Cindy but can't stand that Diana unless she reunites with her former group mates.
That's what I don't get and can't get my head around.

Supreme_Lady

We are all different and that is what make us what we are. You might not be able to understand others but at the same time, they might not understand you.

I really don't think you will ever find an answer to your question but like many of us here, we acknowledge the situation and try to move on the best way we can.

Dont let it upset you, stress isn't good for your health.

I get what you're saying, Supreme_Lady. You're right. I've never understood that either.

That's why when I say I'm a "Supremes fan", I truly mean I'm a fan of ALL The Supremes. I don't know how anybody can say they're a real Supremes fan but dislike Diana Ross or Mary Wilson or any of the others. If you're a fan of The Supremes, then you're a fan of the entire group. Otherwise, you're just a fan of an individual Supreme.

It's not the Supremes fans who make the trouble...it's those who say they're purely a follower of either Diana Ross or Mary Wilson. Not all fans from either of these groups cause trouble, but some do. It's all due to the fact that they've pledged their allegiance entirely to either one of these ladies. And if anybody gets in the way of that, you better watch out. It's all ridiculous if you ask me.

[skooldem1]

A Diana Ross fan can post over and over without once mentioning the Supremes, or Mary Wilson or any other Motown act for that matter. Its a rare thing when they do. The same cannot be said on the flip side of the coin. Thats where the problems start. But everyone wants to brand these trouble makers as Ross fans. Yes a Ross fan may take the bait and respond. But it rarely starts with a Ross fan.

I'm not sure if you're saying this in response to my post, but I said BOTH Ross and Wilson fans can be troublemakers. There are many nasty fans in both groups. And yes, many times the Ross fans START it [[see the Diana-Web message board for evidence). And yes, many times the Wilson fans START it. Anyway, it's not about who "starts" it. That's not the point. The point is the ridiculousness of it all.

[arrr&bee]

Psssss,hey voice you here? The factions are getting angry now and the fur is gonna fly any minute...catfight,catfight!!!

With all due respect, I'd rather not reference any other forums or what goes on there. I'm talking about here. You are right to a certain extent, it is ridiculous. But let someone say something negative about Miss Whitney Houston. You jump right in. So you see, its easy to get sucked into the negativity. Ridiculous, sure it can be. But many have the attitude of.....don't start none, won't be none. But like I said, Diana Ross fans can go without mentioning or putting down others. That is not true of the "other side". There are way too many threads here alone that back me up. Diana Ross's name is always being thown into the mix for no apparent reason but jealousy. Then a "fan" jumps in to counter what is being said and right away everyone is like see, see....another fanatical Diana Ross fan. Its a sick sad game that people play.
