The tragedy here is that this gorgeous and talented woman never made any other significant films. i don't think America was capable of dealing with a black woman with so much talent.
Diana Ross a true superstar who is more beautiful today than ever. Gorgeous lady, classy,intelligent and multi talented, Her voice is wonderful as ever.
i love diana ross, truly, i do, but there's no reason to disparage lady day. if diana can give her props, why would anyone else try to denigrate billie holiday? billie holiday is american music. there is no one else who ever put so much of their being into a song as billie holiday did. as for diana ross, the name says it alone. diana is an american institution. she did it her way and she often steamrolled people into the ground, but her ambition is a force that cannot be halted or stopped.
I have loved Diana from the first time that I heard her sing...The controversies of the past sort of messed me up..I have experienced the huge "ego" first hand...but MIchael Jackson's love for her re-directed me back to listening to her..the love is still there...with a greater appreciation..and I think Diana has undergone that same metamorpheses...
There is no one like her. Talent, beauty, poise, intelligence, humor, humility, yes, even a bit of ego and self-confidence. Why not? When you look like that, sing like that and last as long as she has -- she's more than entitled. What a star!
@longn4longhair . You can thank Berry for screwin' that one up for her. He advertised too much in the industry publications. I do find it quite amazing that she was so good in that movie, considering she had had no formal training regarding acting skills before that.
@longn4longhair I agree Diana didn't have to have sex with a white man to be nominated for an Oscar. Halle Berry is too commercial for me. But see I get it and I always got it. The Oscars were not meant for Blacks anyway so when I see that Angela Bassett, Queen Latifah, and many other Black women who didn't get one for their roles, I never get mad, because I know it's an all White Awards show for white actors/actresses. I just keep it moving and know that they did excellent jobs in their roles.
@longn4longhair It didn't matter that she didn't sound like Billie Holiday, her sound was far superior and more successful, and she was far more attractive than Billie Holiday ever was. It is sad she didn't win the Oscar, but touche, she has a Kennedy Center award :) Halle doesn't have one of those. :) And she won the French version of the Academy Award. Something the American press has managed to keep quiet all these years.
I saw Lady Sings the Blues when I was a kid and was really affected by it because of Diana's heartfelt acting. I have read that Diana's bad luck was that she had to compete against Liza Minnelli who won the Oscar instead for her role in Cabaret. I was shocked when I heard that Halle Berry was the first black woman to win one because I remember that way back in the 70s Diana was nominated!
Atravez del tiempo y la distancia Diana Ross desde la primera vez que escuche su canto y su voz, marco mi vida para siempre y desde entonces, yo siento quererla con todas las fuerzas que el alma me da y mi vida como fans, tal vez el mas humilde de todos ,Latino y orgullosamente Mexicano siempre a girado en torna a ella; su vos fina y melodiosa;su presencia en los ecenarios y su glamur incomparables.
I Don't understand why people that don't like Diana Ross watch these videos and make rude comment if you don't like her stop looking at her vidoes.. Get A Life... find something better to do with you time
Maybe people try to find reason for their likes or dislikes by watching things. Nonetheless, do you expect everyone to agree with you? That's awfully egotistical. This is a discussion forum. Not everyone is going to agree with YOU. Maybe you shouldn't personalize other people's tastes and opinions.
I've personally found a new respect for her after watching this.
she is exquisite, delectable,stimulating, creative...she is the greatest...her voice need not turn round and round like mariah's just to cover lack of depth...diana is music..love her
Diana was and still is the greatest STAR! She had that quality, pizazz, and charisma. She knew it, Gordy knew it. The world knows it. Diane was and still is an enigma. DIVA, well hell who do you think has performed for as many decades to as many people as Diana Ross has? Nobody! She's candid, fun and laughs at herself too. That's a star! Love you Diane XXXX Sassy.
Once again Rossia thankyou so much for sharing this, giving us on the other side of the pond a chance to see Diana sharing her memories so relaxed and happy

Diana Ross should have been the first black woman to win an Oscar loooooong before Halle Berry did it.
She played the hell out of this role. I totally forgot that she didn't look or sound a thing like Billie Holiday. She tore it down.

Sorry but Diana Ross was a much better singer than Billie ever was in my opinion.

I used to watch Lady Sings The Blues all the time as a child.
The part with Richard Pryor getting beat was tough/disturbing
this movie along with The Color Purple I believe was cheated due to Racism in Hollywood.
