Yeah right Nellie David, As one of Mary Wilson's Fans, your Musical Taste is "Questionable" at best, Perhaps Diana will pass that Hair Piece down to Miss Mary, Afterall, she's paying the Bills, Displaying Diana's Used Clothing these days
wot vat on er ead a birdsnest .she has the same hair piece for 40 years. it must be flea ridden by now. make an appointment wi the hairdresser love. voice as usual bloody awfull. ahhh.cant stand it. gives me a laugh someone reach out and strangkle this cat with a strangulated hernia voice.
no one with a semblence of intelligence would ever compare beyonce with miss ross,diana has been an icon and legend for 50 years longer than beyonce has been alive,none of beyonces music is memorable and in the fullness of time she will be forgotton.
@SuperGraystoke well i just did because its only right!!! you old farts need to learn something from us young twenty somethings which is 'giving honor where its due"!!!
When she was with The Supremes, her ego got so big that she destroyed The Supremes. I hope that Beyonce didn't do the same thing with Destiny's Child. If Beyonce did, T'is a really big shame. That's why divas have a bad name these days, girls. Nice tune, by the way.
@Beyoncefan1000 can you flash your booty for strangers, invite male strippers on stage to perform all kinds of softporn with you and still claim to have "strong, humble christian foundation"??? LOL (not that I mind)
@MrJudube were not talking about lady gaga and rihanna ok!! we are talking about beyonce so none of that you just mentioned was even called for because thats not what she represents and since you want to be all technical and shit, Diana ross loves Beyonce and has said numerous of times that Beyonce will have long legs(longevity0 in the music industry because of her humble and good foundation so you can stfu!!
Song reminds me of when my friend reached out and touched my hand...so sweet...now if only i cld get em to help..i sent him email few wks ago but still hvnt heard bck. Hoping he didn't lose the email. I know he'll write bck n offer to help like he alw did..otherwise why reach out n touch somebodys hand if u not gonna follow thru n help right? Just sayin' great song..
Actually she sounds very good here. She's clearly giving it her all. She sounds better here than in other "Reach Out" performances. That dress is very old at this point. I think it's an Oscar de la Renta from 1993.
You go Lady DI. Bring the spirit of music to the world. Continue to unify the world. That is what it is really all about is making this WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
there's something about her that makes just believe the cloud is green just because she said it lolz!! i know it doesn't make sense but, somebody out there know what i mean!!
she gives me goose bumps!.. I love her music, and her voice is 'incredible'... im using this song towards my non profit organization "Enough is Enough"= Fighting against Abuse of ALL kinds. Including Animals. I LOVE YOU ANGEL 'DIANA'.
The voice? It's matured, deepened, thickened, widened. The high notes come less, but the uniqueness of the voice is still there. I actually prefer hearing her sing songs like this more now. Slow stuff...the Billie Holiday set. She sings them better now than she did 30 years ago. Imbued with wisdom.
I saw her in Atlantic City about 2 months before this performance, and that woman put on the most entertaining concert I've been to. So engaged, so exciting. I'll never forget that night...
this was really a moment for her. She was bouncing back after probably the most difficult period in her life. To see her giving herself for such a good cause made me smile.
She is one of the top entertainers of all time.She had a beautiful voice that was trained by the famous Juliard school of music,but it was her flair for entertainment that made her a fantastic act.The reason her voice sounds thicker today is due to scar tissue from overuse of the vocal chords.That happens to many of the great singers.Happy that she got her life together after some trying times and now is a role model for her adorable kids.She still has perfect pitch,and does a few benefits.
I Would agree that her voice is different today opposed to nearly 40 years ago when she recorded this song. The voice is still good unique--she can still sing .Her sound is thicker but no less appealing. If this was a song she recorded today it would be more like "hope is an open window". Very Good.
Paul, last time I checked my mother did not change her name to Paul. I checked again and his is America. Why don't you enjoy the music and stop trying to control another. I support Senator Barack Obama. Paul, peace be unto you.
Diana Ross is the best, I love that dress she is wearing. Why is everyone on the phone when she is singing because you think they would want to listen to her.
The people on the phone are doing callcenterwork for charity. When you phoned to 1-800-435-365, you had the chance to get one of those celebrities who took up your gift.
So they weren't able to enjoy (although it's great backgroundmusic) because they had to work.
100 percent brilliant controlled well thought out performance of this classic. Over thirty years after recording this Ashford and Simpson masterpiece, she still sounds very close to the way she sounded in her 20's. Good for her! Good for us too.
she has been my idol since i was 4 years old I am now 42 i swear i had lung and breast cancer and just listening to her and to her and marvin saved my life 100% remission thank you MS. ROSS i love you and your daughters
i was told that backstage prior to this performance miss ross was a bundle of nerves; this was her first live performance after all of the personal and professional difficulties. since then, i've seen her many times in concert and she was on point. yes the voice has changed and she doesn't hit the high notes as easily, but the control and clarity which has been her staple is still there. these days her sound is thicker but no less appealing and on the Billie Holiday stuff...a revelation.
I think that Diana is the most beautiful now than in all her career. I say that because I think now she emanates a majestic beauty within that matches that on the outside. I hated her hair-bun androgenous look of the mid/late '70s, and the Dynasty '80s overkill. Now, she seems...just supremely serene. :)
i feel like on this performance diana ross voice is actually more soulful and stronger and matured than in her earlier dayz of singing... people need to realize with getting older of course your voice gonnna change but change dosent always mean worse i think she has worked her voice in a way with the change thats for the better her voice use to be very whiny and thin
After 40 years she is still able to reach out and touch. Her voice has changed over time, but I don't care if she sings in sing language, she is still the "BOSS". While others are resting on their laurels, she's still trying to make a difference. Way to go miss Ross, Happy Birthday.
Regardless of how you feel about her... Hate her if you must; but anyone who looks THAT good at age 60 has my vote! (Even if she couldn't sing a lick! Even if you turned down the volume and I couldn't hear a thing!)
Kicking butt and looking great at over 60! Diana Ross is a national treasure, and who else to close out a show when the world saw its greatest natural disaster. This lady is class...a life of stardom and a life of dedication to a better world! And the voice...sounds like yesterday...kicking butt! The true SUPERSTAR!!!!
No one over 60 should look this good. This was just last year, and Diana looks fabulous! Furthermore, her voice seems to be holding up quite well. Great video.
I recall that this clip was immediately following the Tsunami disaster. I had seen her a couple of months in Atlantic city at Ceasars and this is how she looked..very much like the Diana Ross I've loved for many years! Glorious!!
This song is timeless and Classic just like the Living Legend Herself. We all Need to Reach out and Touch Somebody's hand.
