DIANA ROSS LIVE - LADY BILLIE HOLIDAY TRIBUTE

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

What most people don't know is that the released soundtrack is actually its "watered down" second version. In Motown's vaults lies the ORIGINAL soundtrack. It's said that on that version, Diana sounded so much like Billie, Berry freaked, fearing that Diana would be too closely associated w/ jazz, especially if the film flopped, so to retain her pop career, he had her record a second, Diana-ized version of the entire soundtrack, and the rest, as they say, is history.

LOVE IT - TEARS! NO BODY LIKE MS. ROSS!

[videovirgo80]

Remember the line from Dreamgirls? Jamie (Barry) said "Dina's (Diana) got something better -- she's got QUALITY". Truth!

[MrJeffw223]

Diana nailed it!

THE GREAT DIANA ROSS

[lumi015]

Ms Ross doesn't get the credit for her sublime and subtle vocals - we always have to hear all the tabloid rubbish.

This lady can saaanngg!!!!

Hope she records a new album of jazz tracks......check out her album BLUE - it will blow you away.

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

i have never heard this tone from her before...

[MrSillybillyLOL]

Laura White sang this song look her up ??

[OldMotownFan]

I wish Ross would do a new album of new jazz. She might finally win a Grammy.

[Maatization]

This girl has real depth.

[xstanadu]

Miss Diana Ross ! Incredible performance ! She Looks amazing and sounds terrific !!!!!

[divaqueen]

Wow! This is a fabulous performance! Love the whole look and she sings so brilliantly. I finally got to see her live, in May 2009 in Connecticut. One of the best experiences and so surreal! She is not to be missed!

[Rouben19]

BEAUTIFUL DIANA ; never better, love you always!

[yurherenow]

Wow she worked that. :)

[patsy128]

Beautiful Miss Ross. You are tops!

[Leumas357]

the original by Billie holiday will always be my favorite, although this was great too

[strausd02]

She looks so lovely here. She seems relaxed, and feeling this song. Look at her body, near perfect, just like her voice. A great job. She was in fine and mellow form.

[mexicanlovezz]

we saw this in my choir class

[micahj]

Diana's fabulous :-)

Anybody know what the band personnel consists of?

[ishledesmay]

The core of the band is Paul Schaffer's "Late Night with David Letterman" band.

[OldMotownFan]

A singular and vital interpretation. Thanks for posting.

[mickrobbo34]

She's in blistering form here. Right on the money. Anyone who's not yet seen her live please do it. She's incredible on the Jazz sets.. especially now. She's approaching 50 years in the business I believe. I hope for a huge tour. Please come back to Liverpool Diana we miss you x

[andydiana]

Liverpool was amazing last year and back in 2005! However here in Glasgow she gets the best reception, we know how to treat the legendary DIVA!!!!

[souLovely516]

this is damn near perfection!!! =)

[charonn89]

she is one of the most beautifulist person ever!!

[paul51]

If this isn't perfection, I don't know what is. Flawless Miss Ross!!

[Amandaajr]

it's perfect

[nohassells4me]

Love Diana Ross's version of this song just a little different to Billie's both great vocaloists

[BryanOQuinnTV]

Awesome!

[melonnell123]

Yes I have heard her 'Good Morning Heartache'! I discovered Billie Holiday through that marvellous film 'Lady Sings the Blues' with Diana Ross. Absolute silk and velvet!

[stewartduane]

she has such a soft voice. it's like a pillow. she actually can sing but usually goes for more pop friendly tunes. I think she shines on jazz/blues songs. Has anyone ever heard her sing Good Morning Heartache? It's awesome

[MercedesSantiaga]

I love how bluesy this is. the black movie female movie star/singer have Diana to credit for their success. One of my fav movies is Mahogany. I absolutely love her music.

[MercedesSantiaga]

I love diana ross.

[Josiieeeeeeee]

ii Like thiis =]

[musicalzitheplacet]

i feel like dianna ross doesent get credit for her vocals

[declique]

Why so few views? Very nice interpretation.

[rosstown]

She is fantastic...

[whitney2whoopi]

Diana Ross sings the blues really good.

[rosstown]

Looks a little unhappy here...which makes the interpretation even better.
