Oh my! Has Miss Ross approved this? Or will it be a case of another Mary succumbing to the Wrath of Ross?
She looks fabulous and maybe should play Diana Ross in the talked about - might be filmed - Flo Ballard movie - yes Mary J would be an excellent Diana Ross
I saw it. Mary J. looked fly as usual.
That's a nice cover. Who ever has taken over the photography at Ebony has been doing a great job. The cover they did of Sade earlier this year was absolutely beautiful. It looked like a piece of art.
I actually had to do a double take because that was impressive.
I agree with all the above posters - this cover is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!
this psiesse me off she should be trying to looooooook like mary wislon.
Mary J's shot sure does look uncannyingly like Mis Ross original shot, WOW!! I am impressed as well.
I am sure Diana would approved of it as well.
I would be interested to see any other shots of other people as well.
The interesting thing is that out of all these covers, they are using the Mary/Diana cover to promote this issue.
And Mary emulates Diana better than these others. Wow.
Did anyone do Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner or Whitney?
Not my cover. The EBONY cover I got has Mary J. in her usual get up [[and she's a legend in her own right as far as hip-hop and contemporary R&B are concerned) and the others [[like Taraji, Blair, John and Samuel L. Jackson). It's to commemorate EBONY's 65th anniversary.
I was talking about on all the blogs and news alerts.
I agree, Ebony did a great job, And
Please stay positive
Here is the Usher cover as Sammy Davis Jr.
So, did we get a Whitney or Aretha or Tina cover or no?
Only Beyonce got the goods to do a Tina cover.
I am sorry but Usher looks nothing like Sammy Davis JR here, just not working for me.
I think the Mary. J and Diana photo were the best look-alikes, they look almost identical except for the nose, Diana's is much narrower then Mary's, that's the only difference I could see.
Is that Janet Jackson as Diahann Carroll - who ever it is , it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, that is Taraji Henson. I never heard of her and had to look her up in Wikopedia
Taraji Penda Henson [[born September 11, 1970) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her roles as Yvette in Baby Boy [[2001), Shug in Hustle and Flow [[2005) and Queeni in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [[2008), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2009. In 2009, she appeared in Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself as April, an alcoholic singer.

Were Aretha or Whitney or Tina ever on the cover of Ebony?
Sure they were!
Each of them multiple times...........
Diahann is great - i had her autobiography in my shop I didnt have a chance to read it I recommended it a customer and sold it on the spot..this has reminded me to grab a copy of it..
Ms. Diahann Carrolls second bio THE LEGS ARE THE LAST TO GO is great - in it she covers a ,ot including things she wrote in her first bio - so - you can skip the first one if you like and go right to THE LEGS ARE THE LAST TO GO - Diahann Carroll is a remarkable woman who has been through a lot more than you would think.
Diahann Carroll is one beautiful lady........
Mary J. Blige did an excellent job, impersonating Diana Ross!
I enjoyed Diahann Carroll in Dynasty.
