[oreebrown]

That's the muppet show dress!

[Sc0rpion]

Diana looks incredible from head to toe.

[dd1985]

Diana looks sexy in that dress, damn...

[mix2up78]

Diana looks AMAZING!!! 8-)

[infinera06]

What the F was Kris K doing with his eyes? What an ignorant moron.

[Seyahhsod]

@infinera06

He can't help it.

he has dry sockets and it forces the eye to be in constant motion. He is currently blind waiting (like 15 years now) for a doner for his eyes. He had one before, they lasted 10 years and had to be removed. He has not made any music since.

Please do not be so judgemental until you know the ENTIRE story.

He is not an IGNORANT MORON, he just needs medical attention.

[songoku714]

I've been meaning to ask but why do the grammys hate diana ross? I read in a lot of comments in which she presents in award that the grammys don't like her.

[masc6feet1man]

SHES THE WORLD GREATEST PERFORMER AND HAVE OUTSOLD ALL OF THEM MENTIONED THREE TOO ONE. THE FIRST LADY OFMUSIC THE GREAT DIANA ROSS!

NOT TO MENTIONED OUT DRESSED ALL AND LOOKS BETTER 50 YEARS LATER.

[hardsam68]

she does not deserve a lifetime grammy, she's good but not in the same vocal class as any of her peers like Aretha, Tina, Gladys, Roberta and Dionne

[awwyeahme2]

@hardsam68 I dis agree people have won w less vocal ability tghat she has....... they donbt like her but who cares? how many winners r doing sold tours 30 or more yrs later?

christoper cross? I think not!!!

[motorcitymiguel]

Wow! What a year in Beautiful Nominated Songs! Great year in music...

[shannonD68]

I think that this was 1981's Grammy presentation because Paul Simon hosted it. Kenny Rogers did the year before, if I recall from another post on YouTube.

[ComoLaFlorr]

they gave and still give grammy's to the average stars and to the diana ross who entertained almost her whole life with some GOOD music they dont give a grammy now please.. give me an explanation

[SmoothCinnamonX]

@ComoLaFlorr Simple. She's not an Illuminati puppet, and never was. But you and I know she deserves about 15 Grammies :)

[ComoLaFlorr]

@SmoothCinnamonX yes exactly but they can give her at leas an liftime grammy award or so

[MsTexas73]

@SmoothCinnamonX HELLO!!!

[gladys8it]

@EJAanime that's Kris Kristophersen.

[SuperEric39]

I think he likes her.

[EJAanime]

who is that white man shes onstage with?

[TheCounslor]

@EJAanime chris christopherson

[cupcake101]

Diana is sexy as hell in this!

[TheMrMarilyn]

Diana blows them ALL out of the water!!!!Class/elegance/talent­/trend setting and stunningly beautiful...there's nothing LEFT!!She had/HAS it ALL (in SPADES!!)!!!!

[1990babyface]

@TheMrMarilyn It was reported that Michael Jackson got mad that he didnt win Record Of The Year of 1980

[TheMrMarilyn]

@1990babyface  And????

[1990babyface]

@TheMrMarilyn It wasnt fair to him. You sound like an MJ Hater.

[songoku714]

@1990babyface Off the wall was a great record his closest to thriller it should have won more then dont stop till u get enough.

[1990babyface]

@songoku714 Was Michael even there at this event?

[pannoni1]

It's a shame as Upside Down, the successor to Sailing at the top of the Billboard Pop Charts was in fact the biggest solo hit of Diana's entire career.

[1990babyface]

@pannoni1 I rememeber she performed it onstage & had Michael Jackson singing to it.

[samedeepwater1]

when they show billy joel its too bad his then wife christie was holding the program in front of her face, it would have been nice to see her

[TheMrMarilyn]

@samedeepwater1 Why??Know what she looks like...and she wasn't up for a Grammy anyway (unless that tired old mincing around she did in Billy's clip could be considered a 'performance'...and it AINT!!!!)Silly bitch she is...

[italoman9]

I think Diana Ross is way beyond the point, now at this point in her career and in the Grammys' history, to be without one of their awards because of members possibly reflecting on how they perceive they like her or not, or how they think she got where she did. The woman's been an influential force in pop music and culture for almost 50 years now, and I do think she does deserve a special Grammmy nod for all her collective successes, influence and efforts.

[whohelpshape]

That was the most awkward moment television has ever cast upon its audience

[MegaObserver1]

I believe Kristofferson was shaved and had his hair in a yuppie style for a movie he was making at the time. I think it was "Rollover" with Jane Fonda.

[CheezyDoDo973]

WOW Frank Sinatra New York New York didnt win ?

[cheryljane]

The Grammys are a joke and always have been - especially since Hey Jude lost out to Mrs. Robinson and Abbey Road to Blood Sweat and Tears. Stormie Ormartian - Michael's wife is a highly respected Christian publisher and I guess Michael is still involved in the business. Christopher Cross is Missing in Action after dominating the 1980 Grammys. I hope he enjoyed his 15 mintues of fame.

[marquise1972]

She meant that "me" part because its a shame that she hasnt been awarded a grammy award...After all of her hard work all these yrs. Even with the supremes she hasnt. They should atleast give her a lifetime award. Dont til she dies like michael jackson and give it to her!!! c'mon grammys..

[3FromTheOutside]

@marquise1972 It's something seriously wrong with the Grammy's! This woman is a worldwide mega-star and a true entertainment legend and icon. They lose credibility if not but for having never awarded Diana after all she's accomplished and everyone she's inspired. A lifetime achievement Grammy and ideally a sincere apology is the least the academy can do! They really should be ashamed. Beyonce` has won about a dozen now. I suppose they really mean very little at this point anyway.

[whatigot2say]

@3FromTheOutside well she will finally receive recognition from this yrs grammy award show. she's getting a lifetime achievement award grammy's 2012, doubt if it will include an apology for all the grammy's she deserved but never received.

[BlogShag]

What we have here is drunk white trash standing next to black class. Kris Kristofersson can barely get his teleprompter cues correct

[yurherenow]

yeh but he was a hot drunk @ the time or at least a few yrs earlier when he was paired on screen with Streisand. Diana was offered the movie the Body guard with Ryan Oneil, which she turned down. Decades later Whitney Houston wasn't that stupid & the rest is history.

[BlogShag]

Diana has the option of accepting projects she likes, and dismissing those she doesnt. She doesn't need the money, besides she has her own businesses and concert appearances to tend to

[oldschool712]

@yurherenow Diana was offered to play it with Steve McQueen

[yurherenow]

@oldschool712 No it was Ryan Oneal whom she happened to be dating for a while, he was considered hot in those days or at least the equivalent of what kevin Kostner was when he made the movie. diana was uncomfortable with the interracial love affar aspect of the movie even though she was dating and even had married a white guy.

[SmoothCinnamonX]

@yurherenow She was not uncomfortable with the interracial aspect! She was uncomfortable with being asked to do a nude scene.

[kangaroosbraun]

Diana Ross was at all these awards shows presenting this and that but she has NEVER won a Grammy

[mahoganyflame]

i know, isnt it sad?? she damn sure deserves one

[BlogShag]

She doesn't need a Grammy. She's got something much better - a Kennedy Center Award.

[MaxMikeLatino]

NEVER! She had all that attitude and that cost her all kinds of awards.

[ludel]

shut up u dont know what u are talking about

[yurherenow]

I think it's disgraceful that diana never won a grammy. the songs that were selected over her's for the most part are forgotten and her music still sounds wonderful decades later. i.e. Theme from Mahagony, Touch me in the morning, Endless love, Aint no mountain high enough, Missing you, the list is endless.

[BlogShag]

She doesn't have a Grammy because most people in the industry don't like her, and think she got an unfair advantage in attaining the mega success she attained.

The Grammy's are run and voted on by an industry committee not the public - A TOTAL FARCE

[SmoothCinnamonX]

@BlogShag The industry people are jealous! And the fact is, even if her relationship with Berry Gordy helped her (and who the hell wouldn't fall in love with her?), she was the biggest star at a small, indepdendent, Black-owned record label. Even as Motown's biggest star, she still didn't wield the overall industry clout and nepotism that Streisand did (and does.)

[arhuxtable]

Chris Cross's producer looks like the Three Stooges comedian Larry Fine.

[andydiana]

would have liked Barbra to win, and see the two greatest divas of all time share the stage - Diana and Barbra

x

[SmoothCinnamonX]

@andydiana I would like to see Barbra shine Diana's patent leather pumps.

[SuperstarX]

this clip must be short before Diana's 20th b'day, right???

[MichaelJackson799]

lol shez 36 here

[fireandrain22]

of course no

, must be in her 40`s

[paul51]

Love this . . . Diana looked so sexy. Thanks for this gem.

[OldMotownFan]

Kris Kristofferson can't take his eyes off of Diana Ross when they walk onstage. I don't blame him. She's sexy as all hell.

[oldschool712]

Did you notice how he put his hand around her waist at 1:50 lol!
