Just roll with it folks. The whole thing is impromptu! That's what makes Youtube great. You'd NEVER see anything like this in your lifetime under normal circumstances.

i ain't gonna lie i woulda been pissed......my church easter service looked like it had more rehersal than this........diana ross is not my favortie but damn she deserved better than this and she kept sayin stop and they just kept on playin smh.....wtf
I don't know who dropped the ball here but it is clear the ball was dropped. This was terrible and I feel bad for everyone involved and looking bad for everyone to see.
WTH!!!??? EVERYONE SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE!!!! WHAT'S WORSE, MISS. ROSS HAS THAT LOOK ON HER FACE LIKE, "THESE ASSHOLES DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE NERVE TO REHEARSE!" Clive Davis should be ashamed of throwing this hotmess of a tribute together like that.... Poor thang had to get on stage and sing her own songs...smh
ugh I can't finish watching this! I just want to scream through the screen at DIANA and just tell her to shut up and sing her dang songs!!!!! Everybodies face expressions are funny though and tasia and usher had me rolling lol
poor diane she was groveling at the feet of Clive Davis for a record contract and he kicked her to the curb, he couldn't possibly handle 2 diva's on his label, Ross & Houston.
@prodarnay those jig-a-boo's were out of their element being on the same stage as DR( who really needed to do something with that hair of hers) such low lifes all of them, especially Nelly & Usher, Jamie Fox, poor fantasia was so ghetto compared to her.
diana ross and fantasia and whitney houston are all amzazingly talented singers who are also different singers. so what's the point comparing?
diana isn't a bitch, have you met her? no. so dont judge her.
she's just joking.. maybe she's realised she's being used.. as you said it was meant for whitney. ok. rant over:').. i love fantasia, whitney and diana - so felt like adding my opininon!:D
No offense.But what the hell is going on?The backup singer knows all of the words and the actual singers/rappers Fantasia,Usher,Nelly, Jamie Foxx and whoever else is like IDK what to sing.
No offense.But what the hell is going on?The backup singer knows all of the words and the actual singers/rappers Fantasia,Usher,Nelly and whoever else is like IDK what to sing.
She's got a willing audience....she should of taken command of that stage and given them a show....not bad, considering. (and Clive, c'mon, it was your party, get it together and be a bit organized.)
Lmao omg the funniest part when ross say in stop in the name of love @4:50she ask is there anybody here to sing then fall back into the song that says havent i been good to you lmao!!yesss ross and the bitch still look good! tommy who??
What a ridiculous mess! They finally had to get her up there because none of them knew the words! Thank God for the background singers - Usher, Fantasia and the rest showed such lack of professionalism!! Crazyyyy
why is diana hanging around with these clowns? they are so beneath her... she was shopping for a record deal. too bad Clive had no intention on signing her. He couldn't possibly have Diana & Whitney in the same stable. He knew he had to give all of his attention to getting Miss crack head back on track and couldn't afford to deal with diana's antics at the same time.
damn this is a HAM some of you yall rite if it was patti up their they'd know every last high note .... Lol shoot i can't blame them i don't know a damn diana song either
Why do people always looks for something bad to say about Diana? There is nothing here but a bit of confusion among a lot of people having fun. Geez, get over yourselves. What a lovely thing to see her surrounded by her gorgeous children. And how amazing to see an audience knowing every word to every song and every stage gesture. The Ross impact on singers today is obvious, even if some of them don't admit it!
As for her "pushing" Fantasia; I did not see it that way. The stage was so crowded and I feel that she was preoccupied with fixing the problem. If she failed to notice that she bumped her, I do not think that it was intentional. In fact, on another video from the same night, she gave Fantasia a standing ovation when she sang Baby Mama.
It even appeared as if her children were attempting to help her lighten the atmosphere. I think her daughter Rhonda (left corner, short hair) even had a mic. If you notice, she kept looking in that direction. I did see four of them on stage. And yes, Miss Ross saved her own tribute! She is a trooper...I applaud her for how she carried herself, and her children for supporting her. She has a beautiful relationship with them and is a great mother.
I seemed as though Miss Ross was preparing to leave with her family. She seemed shocked if anything, but handled it like the professional that she is. I admire her and God bless those performers who were trying.
This is a hot, pus filled mess. I know damn well Clive could have gotten A1 talent. Everybody just sounded...how do I say?...monstrously horrible. It's so sad nobody even wanted to sing with her and obviously some left early. It was just sad to watch her "moment" crumble into a million little pieces onto the floor while she begged for someone to sing with her.
I went thur a period of not liking Diana Ross too after I heard the things that she did to Florence and Mary But, I'm sure if she did those things in malace she is sorry. She is old now and has all those beautiful kids that adore her and I think that she really is a born and a natural star. I love Lady sings the blues to this day, she acted her but off and I give her props.
It was a mess. That's crazy no one really knew the words. I can sing every one of them, lol. I wonder if a lot was done out of pressure or because she was young regarding the issues w/ Florence and Mary.
Diana is such a bitch @4:37 she says "and he's not paying me either" - she oughta be glad that anyone comes to see her. So she's saying she needs to be paid to sing at a Clive Davis function.
@broke2471 Ummmm... She's right that he should be paying her. How is she gonna sing at her own tribute? She just performed for free and she's Diana Ross, a living legend. No artist performs for their label free except to audition.
@sgelsey Ummmm, my ass. She deosn't need to be a bitch about it, although she may have been joking, as you can see nobody knew the songs but the backup singers. Those kids didn't Nelly, Usher nor Fantasia knew those songs...so she did justice by coming up to sing her own songs as she's made them famous...One night, one tribute. Her own kids probably didn't know the words to those songs..and I'm surprised Fantasia didn't know the words to the songs.....So you can kiss a fat mans ass.
@broke2471 - Didn't you hear her when she put the mic in front of Tracy and told her to sing...? Tracy just looked at her with a blank stare that said, "Don't..."
@broke2471 please broke "b" if u think your comment is a trash at diana u are crazy. The comment u made basically trashes the "younger one" those are classic songs. Name one other person including the beatles solo and group with more legendary songs in pop and R&B. So if your post was to trash diana by saying no one knows those old songs, it doesnt work.
@broke2471 first of all if it was a tribute to Diana they should have known the songs. To sing at your on tribute is a joke. I thought something was wrong thanks Modifiedcontent for clearing this up it was a tribute to someone other than Diana that figures and he tried to save face.
@Lesliegilda - They didn't have to kow her songs, what the hell. Everyone doesn't know diana's songs verbatim, hell some artist don't know their own songs or forget the lyrics and they've been singing them for 30 and 40 years sometimes 12 times a night in concert.
@broke2471 U think entertainment comes for free? It's a tribute. Isn't she supposed to be entertained??? Besides, she didn't need that trashy tribute anyhow, that looked like it was in an elementary school auditorium or a warehouse.
@Rockin2222 - I don't think a damn thing is free dumbass. Maybe next time your rotten ass can get a better place for her to sing and as a matter of fact why don't you pick the entertainment, and the entertainers since you "THINK" you're a music executive you dumb bitch.
@broke2471 Look u ol' run down, raggedy ass, broke, fat, ho'in ass, bulldyken, bitch, with green stuff drippin' out of yo pussy! If u din't think a "damn thing was free" why u complaining of Ross sayin "he's not payingme for this"? Whatthe fuck did u expect, her to perform for free? Show was shoddy & unorganized. It was clives last minute effort to save face, due to whitney. Ross should have said Fuck u Clive and not do shit for him or raspy ass people like u, who like to talk long shit!
@Rockin2222 - Listen you "ANGRY" cock sucker, you can choke on your daddys dick for all I care, with your country ass. Fuck you and the horse dick you rode in on your . BITCH!!!
Fantasia was the only other woman there for a while who COULD sing the songs (besides Tracey and the backup singers) if she'd had the lyrics, and she's the only one WITHOUT a microphone until Diana gave her a chance to sing! Clive had a good idea, but bad implementation... OOPS! And what WAS Nelly doing there?!?!
OH MY GOD!!! she shouted ARETHA!!! at 7:45 if you need me call me!!... see great artist like her admire aretha, stop hatin they are actually good friends..
Can ya'll stop being so damn negative and evil. This event is not rehersed or planned. its not different from folks coming to ya'll house and everyones singing. its not televised, its not a professional event, its a damn party. the bump,not push, wasn't attention..when theres not enough space people will bump into eachother..Somebody always trying to be on some negative hater shit.. and they lookin at ya'll like Hi HATERS!! go sit down somewhere
It's a darn shame of all the negative stuff that was said. Diana accidentally bumps Fantasia and no she did not look at Tracey like sit your ass down.Clive wanted Diana to sing her own songs but Fantasia, Nelly, Usher and Jamie just happen to be on stage unil she got up there . Remember those grammy parties are unrehearse. All of yall need to grow up and get the facts straight.
hey now i'm not dissing Diana Ross, I really just want to know why no one really knew any of the songs when they are suppose to be giving her a tribute
Thank U! At least somebody understands where i'm coming from.I mean i saw usher with paper of the lyrics in his hand so it could not have been a complete suprise.
Most of the folks on the stage were are TOO YOUNG to remember Diana in her prime. I was a teenager when those songs came out...I am a grandmother now.
umm... i don't get it, was everyone asked last minute to sing these songs, is that why only Fantasia and the back up singers know them? If not what happen at rehearsal?
if ever i was also diana ross i would've been really pissed off.. imagine nobody on that stage knows my song excpet for fantasia and the back up singers, and the back up were suppposed to be back up.. i'd immediately get on that stage.. but i'd NEVER PUSH.. she was looking for somebody to sing with from the audience, luckily none of her contemporaries obliged. hahaha..
OMG, lynce0304 is right! Diana does push Fantasia at 2:29. Diana is headed toward the mic like somebody is about to "get it". Tracy is about to get it at around 7:36 when she is doing her little dance and Diana looks at her and Tracy straightens up her act and stops dancing. Boy, I'll bet Diana STILL rules her house. I wouldn't be surprised if Rhonda, Traci, Chudney, Evan, and Ross all got a lecture when they got home because she doesn't want them to be anything like THOSE people on the stage.
YOu guys are grasping for straws. I saw it and there was no intentional push. On Fantasia, her hand touched her. It did not look intentional. Come on people. Stop looking for drama because you expect it from Diana Ross due to what you've HEARD from hear say. Even her tone of speaking doesn't command rude behavior.
Because they can't sing live and spontaneously. they aren't trained enough and they know it. Fed TOO many Cartoons and cereal. Diana is from the Meat and Potatoes, Bacon and Egg Gospel-Soul Generation. God Bless Them All for Trying, though. She rules!
You are so right. They all know not to even attempt the sponteneous stuff and some of them probably can't go past lip synching. Just keep buying those albums!
Oh my!! did diana just push fantasia at 2:29 when she got on the stage...she didnt look like she lost her balance and then she looked at her before she did it...thats terrible!
OMG. She did push her! My goodness I can't stop laughing. I guess Diana was so frustrated at how horribly they were doing she just had to do some pushing.
It's ashamed that these young singers today who want to be in the business don't even know half the songs that any singer worth their salt should have in their own catalog of songs of the twentieth century.
OK Diana Ross looks great butttt what is she on man the woman doesnt know what the hell shes doin, Fantasia should have done the whole performance cant go wrong with Fantastic Fantasia :)

What a bunch of talentless turds. I feel embarressed for them all. I am not a fan of diana's, but I can recall the words to her popular songs and sing better than any of these toss bags. None of them will be around for 40+ years like her. I can guarantee that. Half of them just sing homey shit that will date really BADLY!
You notice at 6:36 Tracie starts doing the MONKEY on stage and MS. ROSS turns to her and gives her the "sit your azz down" evil eye for not acting like a lady in public.
I love her. That's my girl MS. ROSS. The ultimate DIVA!!!
A MESS! Granted it was impromptu but none of the singers even looked like they were trying. I felt it was somewhat disrespectful to Diana. I could see she wasn't too happy with it either, hense her looking for someone that could actually do her songs justice. Janet would have been a good pick, she has known Diana many years and their voices are quite similar.
oohh im scared of her, accolades dnt mean nothing and u know it. if thats the case, how come her peers never awarded her with a grammy? the highest honor in music? LOL diana is finished and u know it. let me go and check billboard for her tour gross.
diana should be ashamed of that cd she released wit that BULLSHIT on it, lol dnt get mad because nobody wanted to sing with diana fucking ross, please give me aretha or patti over this heffa ne day. for that matter id wanna hear mary wilson.
Can you comment without using such filthy language? In all honesty, Diana Ross doesn't have to prove herself to anybody, her career speaks for itself. It's one thing if you don't like someone(for whattever reason) I don't think she has done anything to you, but at least(this is for all who do)people, refrain from using such bad language to get your point across.
I will pray for you, because you definitely need a GOD encounter. Why you have so much anger and bitterness towards people, is beyond me, but I am not a bitch and I don't kiss nobody's backside. I hope you can explain that language to God on judgement day, yes, he is checking us all in everything we say and do and we will be held accountable.
Not once did I call you out of your name or disrespect you, I just asked you to tone down your language. Peace be unto you, anyway.
YEAH YEAH YEAH, ur the perfect person in this world of corrpution. correction there is no one in this world that is PERFECT. so please mind ur business when it comes to me and god relationship. i can whatever i want and thank u for prayiong for me,but also pray for others who are less fortunate in the world of today.
Never said I was perfect. I did what I was supposed to do, witness. Nobody is perfect, Christian or not, I am not judging you. As a children of God we are not supposed to do that, but we can inspect the fruit that is bared. You are right, you can do what you want, God gave us free will, hoping we will do right by him.
I pray for everybody(the world) in general, people I don't know. I appreciate the fact that you did not curse me out this time, thank you and have a blessed Christmas.

@Lesliegilda - They didn't have to kow her songs, what the hell. Everyone doesn't know diana's songs verbatim, hell some artist don't know their own songs or forget the lyrics and they've been singing them for 30 and 40 years sometimes 12 times a night in concert.
broke2471 1 year ago
@broke2471 U think entertainment comes for free? It's a tribute. Isn't she supposed to be entertained??? Besides, she didn't need that trashy tribute anyhow, that looked like it was in an elementary school auditorium or a warehouse.
Rockin2222 1 year ago
@Rockin2222 - I don't think a damn thing is free dumbass. Maybe next time your rotten ass can get a better place for her to sing and as a matter of fact why don't you pick the entertainment, and the entertainers since you "THINK" you're a music executive you dumb bitch.

@broke2471 Look u ol' run down, raggedy ass, broke, fat, ho'in ass, bulldyken, bitch, with green stuff drippin' out of yo pussy! If u din't think a "damn thing was free" why u complaining of Ross sayin "he's not payingme for this"? Whatthe fuck did u expect, her to perform for free? Show was shoddy & unorganized. It was clives last minute effort to save face, due to whitney. Ross should have said Fuck u Clive and not do shit for him or raspy ass people like u, who like to talk long shit!

I Looooove Fantasia's Part Is Was The Best Part
serglew09 3 years ago
Fantasia was the only other woman there for a while who COULD sing the songs (besides Tracey and the backup singers) if she'd had the lyrics, and she's the only one WITHOUT a microphone until Diana gave her a chance to sing! Clive had a good idea, but bad implementation... OOPS! And what WAS Nelly doing there?!?!

It's a darn shame of all the negative stuff that was said. Diana accidentally bumps Fantasia and no she did not look at Tracey like sit your ass down.Clive wanted Diana to sing her own songs but Fantasia, Nelly, Usher and Jamie just happen to be on stage unil she got up there . Remember those grammy parties are unrehearse. All of yall need to grow up and get the facts straight.

Fattzb2006 3 years ago
OMG, lynce0304 is right! Diana does push Fantasia at 2:29. Diana is headed toward the mic like somebody is about to "get it". Tracy is about to get it at around 7:36 when she is doing her little dance and Diana looks at her and Tracy straightens up her act and stops dancing. Boy, I'll bet Diana STILL rules her house. I wouldn't be surprised if Rhonda, Traci, Chudney, Evan, and Ross all got a lecture when they got home because she doesn't want them to be anything like THOSE people on the stage.
kamironLance 3 years ago
YOu guys are grasping for straws. I saw it and there was no intentional push. On Fantasia, her hand touched her. It did not look intentional. Come on people. Stop looking for drama because you expect it from Diana Ross due to what you've HEARD from hear say. Even her tone of speaking doesn't command rude behavior.

Because they can't sing live and spontaneously. they aren't trained enough and they know it. Fed TOO many Cartoons and cereal. Diana is from the Meat and Potatoes, Bacon and Egg Gospel-Soul Generation. God Bless Them All for Trying, though. She rules!

A MESS! Granted it was impromptu but none of the singers even looked like they were trying. I felt it was somewhat disrespectful to Diana. I could see she wasn't too happy with it either, hense her looking for someone that could actually do her songs justice. Janet would have been a good pick, she has known Diana many years and their voices are quite similar.

Can you comment without using such filthy language? In all honesty, Diana Ross doesn't have to prove herself to anybody, her career speaks for itself. It's one thing if you don't like someone(for whattever reason) I don't think she has done anything to you, but at least(this is for all who do)people, refrain from using such bad language to get your point across.

I will pray for you, because you definitely need a GOD encounter. Why you have so much anger and bitterness towards people, is beyond me, but I am not a bitch and I don't kiss nobody's backside. I hope you can explain that language to God on judgement day, yes, he is checking us all in everything we say and do and we will be held accountable.
Not once did I call you out of your name or disrespect you, I just asked you to tone down your language. Peace be unto you, anyway.

moeluv1277 4 years ago
Never said I was perfect. I did what I was supposed to do, witness. Nobody is perfect, Christian or not, I am not judging you. As a children of God we are not supposed to do that, but we can inspect the fruit that is bared. You are right, you can do what you want, God gave us free will, hoping we will do right by him.
I pray for everybody(the world) in general, people I don't know. I appreciate the fact that you did not curse me out this time, thank you and have a blessed Christmas.
