  • Did he say the 1955 recipient?? #fail

  • Comment removed

  • she always reminded me of my grandmother and thats a really really really good thing

  • I want someone to post the whole 9th Annual Soul Train Music Awards up so I can see it, I owuld appreciate it.

  • This is when I knew Diana,can somebody post more clips from this show,with Boyz II Men,guest stars,co hosts,Herbie Hancock,Babyface,Blackstreet, Queen Latifah award & winners, I would appreciated it, Barry White, & R Kelly award

  • Some of the naievete here is quite amazing! Many stars make nice in public but have had conflict. Just a fact. It has been well documented that Ross at one point had negative feelings towards Whtiney(when Whtiney considered doing lead in Dreamgirls for one example) and Patti at a concert in 2000 was quoted as saying per Diana"Dont mention that woman's name" as she was upset at Cindy Birdsongs exclusion from "Supremes" 2000 tour. Maybe they are all friends now!!!(lol)

  • Thanks for posting. Nice video of Di and her family and her exes. LOL :)

  • Always loved how Diana would always have her kids with her. Great mom! :)

  • No guile in the Lady.Class.

  • There's nobody like Diana Ross. She's one of a kind. Nobody will ever replace her.

  • she look beautiful!

    1:45 lol "my ex husbands"! look at her children face expression when she said it.

  • gon' head Diane get yo' award baby!

  • Just so they leave that loser mary wilson at home!

  • Her ex husband is freakin' hot! And he's no youngster in this clip either. Diana is such an eloquent speaker! What's not to love about Diana. Those that don't like her, don't understand the minds of achievers. I don't think she's a ruthless achiever.

  • @SpazChat I am commenting on your comment about Diana Ross' ex-husband. He, Robert Silberstein, is/was actually her first husband. He is only the father of her two younger daughters, Chudney and Traci Ellis Ross of "Girlfriends". They divorced somewhere between 1978-1980. He couldn't take the pressure of being Mr. Diana Ross and her erratic temper tantrums that would spew at any given moment. But we love her still, don't we?

  • @wheninrome345, I think Diana Ross was very spoiled by Motown for a time...She pulled in millions for them when they were basically a fledgling nothing. But she earned her stripes. If you listen to the early recordings, her voice actually got better for awhile as time went along.

  • it would have been nice if she had included mary wilson and the late florence ballard in her speech....

  • i always tell this story but during DIANAS speech, u can hear me uptop yelling DIANAS name...LOUD lol

  • lmao...i made that he said the 1955 recipient

  • I recently saw Patti in Morristown, NJ and Diana at the Mountain Winery in CA a week later. While I love both, Soulvital, you couldnt be more wrong. Patti could hardly finish a complete song. Her voice is still great, WHEN she sings. Diana on the other hand didnt stop moving and singing the entire show. We were on our feet the whole time. As far as her looks, wow, I dont know where you last saw Diana, but she looked fantastic, I was just a few rows from the stage, sitting behind her son.

  • @Mannati damn u traveled didnt u? which one of the locations did u live?

  • is that chico?

    Bob Ellis looks so hot here.

  • was Bob Ellis younger than Diana?

  • she is sooo beautiful

  • I've seen her in Concert-she still works her butt off for her audience-even now. Now THATS an artist.

  • What a wonderful family! In addition to the stunningly successful career, she raised a wonderful group of children. That's how to tell success and quality!

  • Diana Ross' voice is incredibly soulful, as most born and bred Baptist chicks voices are, but, it is her pristine tone, unique quality, crisp phrasing and sensual delivery which make her voice so distinctive and special.

    She took the pronounced enunciation of her jazz predecessors and brought it into soul, giving it sensuality and chic style, and the world is much better for it.:)

    God bless her.

  • People love diana ross because her music in someway brings pleasure and happiness into their lives.

  • Her vocals were poignant, yet not traditionally soulful (They didn't need to be)which made her voice stand out and sound unique. It also helped that she's a soprano. Tenors and Sopranos usually get all the attention in any genre of music. . People that sound like Patti Labelle are a dime a dozen. If you don't believe me, go to any black church and listen to the choir, etc. Diana was also a versatile singer, something many singers aren't

  • agree BlogShag. Diana's vocals were unique. she didn't give us the traditonal black singer sound. You're stepping into dangerous terrority now. haa haa.

  • bob ellis looks pretty good here....

  • @jeffdon4 are you kidding me, her ex-husband is smoking hot here. And he's no youngster here. I believe this is 1996? We should all be allowed to look that good at that age.

  • Damn, her ex husband Bob Silberstein is FINE! He still looks hot 30 years later. Proof you don't have to get ugly just because you get older like so many people do.

  • I still have this Awards on VHS

  • Why did he say 1955 when it was 1995???

  • i payed attention to that too lol

  • i caught that too..he made a mistake but did not catch/correct it.

  • Thanks for posting this.I erased it by mistake and have been kicking myself for years.

  • i'm surprised that michael did not have tribute from diana

    i made for liz taylor, james brown

  • What a Lady, she is so graceful. I just love her.

  • Tracy in that blue dress was all booty! lol... Evan and Ross were so tiny! lol

  • Did Berry say 1955? LMAO oh shit. That is funny.

  • I damn near hit the floor laughing watching the Patti-Diana hug with Diana's face all up in Patti's face at 0:37, that was too funny. How awkward is that and then to maintain a smile the whole time, lol.

  • where they actually kissing at the beginning when she hugged berry at 1:08

  • Did she say "ex husbands"!?!?!  I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

  • Yes, that handsome white guy standing behind her is her ex husband (Bob Silberstein) He's Tracy and Chudney's father

  • ABSOLUTELY! He also produced Chaka Khan's album featuring "Sweet Thing."

    My son attended school with her kids. I would see her on a regular. She and Patti definitely have very different voices and styles and though Diana has gotten more notoriety than Patti over the years...NO ONE sings like Patti!

  • Which Diana brother is that? Is that Chico? Because Evan grown up looks JUST LIKE HIM! Same beautiful facial structure. So people who think Evan's MJ's son.....sorry he's not. He looks like Ross's gene pool!

  • why should she???

    the award was Diana's, not the Supremes

  • because these two people are some of the most impostant people in her life, some of the most critical for her success

  • but you got to remember Diana's life with the Supremes is so short compared to her long standing solo career!!! And to be honest all Wilson and Ballard done was sing 'baby baby' in the background! It is Miss Ross talent that we are recognizing, not the Supremes.

  • :43 :44 what a weird to seconds of staring lol

  • was MJ at this award ceremony lol

  • yes. MJ performed "Dangerous" on this award. You can find a video on Youtube.

  • what do u type in

  • no that was the hall of fame that fall..this was the annual awards........

  • @May200928 no that was the hall of fame that followed that fall. Michael performed but he did his separately the day before because he wanted the camera angles right and didnt want to hold up the other artist. A genius, aa perfectionist the king of pop.

  • OMG. BG said "1955" recipient. Haha.

  • Patti and Diana go way back and Patti Like so many artist that knew Diana over the years, knows her personality and either they deal with Diana or they don't....Both Diana and Patti have had work done, Patti's nose and Diana has had those smile lines she use to have as a teenager removed. As far as her teeth, she has had them taken care of since 2006 because they had become discolorated over the years from her drinking coffee..she stated this in an interview....

  • Diana Ross & Patti LaBelle's "rivalry" exists only in the minds of certain PETTY "fans" with nothing better to do with their time than create unnecessary drama where none exists, in order to satisfy their own foolishness, then, they wonder why they're seen as uber-effeminate, superficial space cadets.

    These ladies are both great at what they do, having carved out their own niches in the vast musical market.

    Folks, it's time to grow up & just enjoy the music.

  • Thanks for posting the acceptance speech.

    Others tend to leave it out...for some reason....

  • I want to praise you for speaking the truth.

  • Thank you! It's like back in the 60s and 70s, catty ppl tried to make it out like Diana and Dionne were competitors when they were secretly girlfriends! Then it was Diana vs. Donna - and they've been girlfriends for years! Then it was Diana vs. Whitney -- but Diana showed Whitney much love and Whitney paid it back in her Classic Whitney concert! Oh, and don't forget Diana vs. Aretha - we all know now they've been mutual admirers for years and ReRe even said he son loved him some Ross! ROSS LOVE!

  • Patti's sound is totally different than Diana's, always has been. It's like trying to compare a kiwi to an onion. Silly comparison

  • @TheReturnOfStephan the feud was all too real in the 60's. Now its like so what...and move on.

  • He said "The 1955" recipient. What year was this?

  • 1995

  • I think it just speaks to how long he has been around lol.

  • I wonder why she never mentiond michael on her speeches he always does but anyway I lovelove dianaa

  • its amazing to see 2 divas who started out in the same era kinda as rivals and now look....GOD is good

    they r both great

  • its a slip gown lol silly

  • What year was this, damn, ex husband Robert Silberstein was still looking mighty fine at that time.

  • I just noticed that he said 1955!  She should've made him do it over! lol

  • Why no mention of Mary or Flo, Diana?? You both shared the same dream and broke down racial barriers together with your music.

    Very disappointed.

  • Oh please get over yourself dude. If Mary wanted to be BIG she should've done something about it. Diana speaks of the Supremes almost every time she's on stage. This is HER time, she doesn't owe a thank you to the Supremes every time she gets an award.

  • i agree totally

  • No Diva can speak like Diana and Whitney! I love those women!!!!

  • you can hear me in the audience yelling Diana. I was so scared that they were gonna boo her like they booed Whitney one year!! So I wanted to show Ross love so i yelled and yelled. Ahh the good times!!!!! Sad year though, my grandma would die a few months later

  • why does Patti labelle look like diana's mother when they're about the same age? Miss Ross in untouchable. the audience is low class trash they can't appreciate class.

  • WHy didnt she marry berry gordy I think they loved each other a lot, i cant see why they wouldnt just tie the knot! They seemed to truly love and respect each other

  • she said in previous interviews that she didn't have that kind of love for him.. it wasn't a romantic love for her. he apparently worshipped the ground she walked on... even before she was considered a beauty. Ross was borderline ugly when for most of the supreme days. he was sure taken with her for some reason.

  • he was taken with her Unique sound. something of which all the other supremes Lacked. You could find big and loud in any church or on any street corner. Berry wanted a voice that would appeal to all audiences, not just black. Borderline ugly, thats a matter of opinion. Patty certainly didnt win any beauty contests either yet it didnt hold her back from who she is today. alot of pretty and goodlooking people who cant Sing one note..ie Halle Berry. so it aint all about how pretty you are.

  • it depends on whose standard of beauty you using.of course it would be that WASP standard.....well diana aint white.......neither is patti...............so you cannot use white folks standards of black people!

  • who said any thing about white folks standards or white folks period. I simply responded as to your comment of diana being borderline ugly. to You perhaps.where did race come in there? we are talking about two black Women. both when make up is applied do become more attractive. white aint in this converstation. still diane was a lil more attractive than patti was when both were 21. patti nose was all over her face. great pipes but rough on the eyes.

  • black shepard....... it wasnt my comment.....i interjected myself into this exchange between you and another..........but you all are talking about beauty contests and all............consciously or in your case unconsciously..............you are referring to their looks.............yes.even i.....we measure our beauty by whit folks standards..............i am aware of it...................but it is entrenched in our culture..........glad you enjoy my videos............

  • I am a straight white man- and I have always found Diana Ross VERY SEXY!!! during the supremes up to today...

  • How would Berry know that her incredibly shrill high pitched voice could be nurtured into something polished like it became?

  • It was said his goal was to make a black woman a superstar. that's what he set out to do and he did it.

  • Berry loved Diana but a marriage between them wouldnt have worked.They were too much to each other.Lovers, mentor and protage, father figure and daugther, commidty and manufactuer...Their love was a very intertcate and tight web they often tangled them both

  • Pattie has had alot of work done on her face. She admits to a nose job and nip and tuck here and there...Diana has never had any work done...she has always been and continues to be a true beauty.

  • @Mannati no nip and tuck.....just a nose job...and diane has probably had work done

  • Depends on who you ask.

  • Ask Patti, as candid and open as Patti is, she has nothing to hide. Now I will admit she has a helluva make up artist, and the DIVA OF ALL DIVAS herself spends money on hair, make-up, clothes, and SHOES like no other. If Patti can admit to peeing on herself on stage, surely she can admit to any body enhancements including the nose job!

  • What! Everyone laughs about Patti looking like a drag queen. Too much make up. lol She needs to tone down that make up

  • they all look damn good.these women are in their mid-60s..........years of touring and under heavy lights...i hope i look this good at 40!

  • They were both born in 1944. Diana is almost exactly two months older than Patti. That makes them both 51 at the time of this clip.

  • @Soulvital patti talks about gettin a tune-up...........a face lift..............just pull the skinup....thats why patti looks so youthful or refreshed.......even without she would look good!

  • why did he say 1955???

  • should have said 1995.

  • Diana Ross is the best.

  • I'm so glad that this clip has FINALLY been posted!

    Certain Patti LaBelle fans, who've, probably, never even seen this part of the clip, like to pretend that Diana was rude to Patti here..or anywhere, for that matter.

    I really hope that this clip will FINALLY settle the matter, ONCE & FOR ALL.

    Diana has always given Patti her props & shown her nothing but love, as is the right thing to do.

    Again, my thanks for posting!:)

  • I agree. Im a big Patti LaBelle fan and yes she was upset at Diana Ross for sometime but i really do believe that even tho she might had been mad at her she still respected her as a very great singer...Diana Ross is the BOSS. I LOVE how she hugs Patti here it was so real unlike some other female singer(AF) who throws shade at every LEGEND!

  • thats right StephanAOTTO1, Patti and Di never realy had a problem with each other, Patti just felt burned when Cindy from the Bluebelles left to join the Supremes, they have long gotten over that, and Diana is a bigger fan of Patti's than most ppl would probaly ever realize due to their habit of being close minded and trapped in the past, these two artists respect each other. just let them do their thing and quitting trying to put fuel on a fire that never really burned

  • One of the few t.v. programs that I missed with Ross. Thanks for posting.

  • I have been waiting for this. Thank you so much for uploading. Ross is modern royalty. What a triumphant, inspirational spirit!
