Mariah is wonderful and I adore her Luther was and is the known as an all time Great and will be remembered as such I LOVE HIS WORK! They both have Loved /recognized Diana Ross this was a tribute to Miss Ross not and upstage!
This is Diana Ross' song bar none - one of the greatest and most recognizable love songs ever written (Thanks To Mr. Richie) its all in the melody and the lyric ...No one can sing this melody like Diana Ross She put hurting on this song that no one has been able to take off ... Not Mariah, not Patti not anyone... It's not about vocal gymnastics and how many runs you can do per line or how loud you can scream in key... it's about the passion of the melody.
Spoken like a rue critic who barely knows music. Nonetheless you did reference that "to you" meaning in your opinion.... and you are entitled to that, no matter how wrong you are. (Smile)
You just so proved my point you don't know what you are talking about... the movie "Dreamgirls is a work of fiction. It is also homage to Motown. "For any confusion that has resulted from the producers fictional work, who apologized to Mr. Berry Gordy and all of the incredible people including Diana Ross and her wonderful seasoned talent who were part of that great legacy."It is vital that the public understand that the real Motown story has yet to be told.
itz based off of how Florence Ballard had this incredible vioce but Diana Ross who had the looks was put in front so dont say itz fiction because the theme of the movie is true
How dumb are you? It's not about one being better than the other...they both have gifts.... it's not a competition see that's your generation 50 cent has to battle if you want you all to think he was good LOL
Diana and Mariah both have fans and Miss Ross is a cultural icon and a legend
Diana Ross held 9 weeks at #1 and re-recorded the song as a solo which also tallied a platinum selling album... Mariah did not do that with her cover of Endless she did not nor has anyone else. At 20 years old you are a child to me! Your whole generation is limited when in comes to creativity and talent and knowledge of anything that is truly historical. I don't expect anything better from you.
Wait a minute.. Why are your trying to insult Diana Ross' legacy As a solo artist, Diana Ross is one of the most successful female singers of the rock era. If you factor in her work as the lead singer of the Supremes in the 1960s, she may be the most successful. Mariah Carey is a outstanding singer.... but Diana Ross is a Legend in Music history ... I agree with Mr Magic ENDLESS LOVE is Ross' Trademark songs of all times show some respect.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mariah may not have yielded a #1 hit with this cover but she has tons of other original compositions and covers that did. "One sweet day" holds the still-standing record for holding the top position for the most number of weeks(16) and "We belong together" stayed at #1 for a staggering 14 weeks. With the ascension of her latest single "Touch my body" to #1, she has beaten Elvis Presley's record for the being a solo artist with the most number of #1 hits.
With album sales in excess of 160 million copies worldwide, she's the 3rd highest selling female artist of all time according to the RIAA, behind Madonna and Celine. She has been recognised by the industry time and again for her accomplishments with accolades that include Grammys, BMA's, AMA's, WMA's - just to name a few. All this in just a span of 18 years. Don't be so quick to brush off her achievements, she's a living legend to music fans everywhere and industry insiders.
She's inspired many of the younger artists we have today. At 38 - while the other artists of her generation are struggling to remain in the limelight - she remains relevant by making music that the younger generation can enjoy and appreciate. Her creativity and talent are the main driving force behind her success. Her music has touched and transformed lives everywhere and she also gives tirelessly back to the community.
No disrespect to Miss Ross, who even Mariah considers a legend, but she just doesn't have the kinda voice that has placed Mariah in the pantheon of supreme voices of all time. Diana Ross is more likely to be compared to Madonna - a living musical legend and a dynamic performer but without the vocal prowess of the musical greats like Whitney, Aretha, Celine, Patti and many more.
Mariah captured the beauty and essence of this song with her emotions and cleverly incorporates more vocal runs as well as the highs and lows to display her range. And her voice blended so effortlessly with Luther's.
And don't be so obnoxious. Your opinions are no better than adwreunion's. We are all entitled to our own opinions so there's no need to insult others just cause they don't share yours.
This is my favorite performance of this song. I feel Mariah & Luther's version is so much better then the orginal. Mariah is so talented cause I don't know many singer's that can make a Live performance better then the Album version.
oh my god ><... this will be my wedding song ♥
