WHat a great cause. Mary sure has a “golden heart!”
She sure does. She is a legend,but she has never forgotten where she came from or how she came up! She sponsors underprivileged school girls in Detroit as one of her charities.
A different interview, same event:
All very commendable i'm sure, but i prefer it when stars do their good deeds in a more quiet and dignified manner rather than as yet another publicity stunt. It is far less vulgar to perform these good deeds without it having to be yet another photo opportunity. Just saying.
No i did not watch the video. I don't tend to watch the endless string of interview/photo opportunities of Mary Wilson that you desperately source from the net seemingly each and every day. Thankfully they appear to be drying up as rapidly as the sales of the book are, and then i suspect you will revert to posting old interviews again which i shall not be watching either.
This makes no sense Bluebrock. When has Mary ever done that? Lots of people publicize the charity organizations that they are involved with, not as a pat on the back, but because if people don't know the organization exists, how the hell can people donate and/or otherwise help?
So you came into a thread clearly labeled "Mary Wilson [at] 2019 Golden Heart Awards" to not watch the video but instead to criticize Mary about something non existent, such as her "vulgar" way of publicizing her charitable works? You don't wish Mary any ill will but you're celebrating the idea that her book sales are drying up and complaining about the amount of posts that her fans are contributing to the thread, because God forbid anybody in the forum care about someone other than Diana Ross, right? You do realize that you're basically mirroring Marv's behavior that you're so critical about, right?
There are lots of ways to donate to charity without the glaze of the cameras. I recall when Diana opened the Harrods New Year Sale back in the 90's. She was paid an almost obscene amount of cash to do so. She quietly asked for her fee to be donated to a local hospital for terminally ill children. She specifically requested that it be kept out of the press. This is just one of several instances where she donated considerable amounts of money to children's charities. This is a side of Diana that few people hear about. It is a very classy and dignified way of helping those less fortunate.
All I'm gonna say is congrats, Mary, and move on...
Well the fact that I get sick of your obvious hatred of Mary Wilson and the constant passive aggressive digs you take at her while claiming you wish her no ill will, I don't block you for the same reason I didn't block Marv until he blocked me and then I removed him when I did a blanket unblocking of most of the people on my list on a "let bygones be bygones" tip. You and I always get along regarding the Supremes and other musical subjects even when we disagree, and I generally look forward to whatever it is you have to say about the music. But I'll take your question of "Then why not block me" as a suggestion and a wish and grant it. Fuck you and consider yourself blocked.
I guess it's nice that Wilson does these second-tier charity events, but realistically speaking she gets paid for doing them and these are among the only gigs she can get. Seriously. If she hadn't laid the bomb of the ages on DWTS would she be making time for these events?
The Highlight of the Evening!
