What percent of LOVE HANGOVER's success do you credit to Ross herself??

[Boogiedown]

i think this is a producer's hit record. there's nothing challenging about the lyric, the notes, the interpretation, etc. that's not to say Diana doesn't contribute because she absolutely has to bring to life what the producer is looking for.

there's an alt version on the DR76 EE where all of Diana's vocals are left intact. in the released version, the producers took the lead vocals in and out of the mix. in the studio though, diana pretty much sings stuff all the way through.

Wow this is so enlightening




This is not just singing a song, this is a performance ....role playing if you will.


I wonder if this is how Hal explained it to her, to sing it this way ..... or is this how Diana took it in and made it her own.....

[No one has been assigning percentages here, but inferences seem to suggest most hear this as something like a 75% - 25% rendering, with the bulk of the credit going to the studio work. ]
