@MultiRedhearts People deal with grief in different ways..Diana was a lifelong friend of Michal's..I'm sure she had her reasons for not attending and I'm sure Michael would understand that.
@doolie50 I agree that there was more than likely nothing going on between Diana and MJ, even in their minds. Diana Ross helped raise MJ and his brothers after they became aquainted with her. She mentored them in their showbusiness career. If anything, Michael saw her as a second mom, which is why, out of anyone else in his family, he left his kids to her (& his biological mom). People were confused about that because they didn't know the depths of their relationship. MJ was like a son to her.
I think this is more performance than anything else. She knew Michael wanted her, but she was so tied to Berry Gordy..........another tale of one woman playing a guy against another.
@Superkick71 are you kidding? Diana had 10 years history with Berry Gordy both persponally and professionally before anyone even knew who Michael Jackson was, and he was a CHILD. So, WTF do you expect? Diana did not see MJ as a lover. She felt she was a mentor to him and cared for him as anyone would care for such a lovely, charismatic child. Even as he grew up, I'm sure she still saw him the same way because she was much older than him.
I think Diana Ross realized she love Michael more than a friend after he died so sad tht it took death for her to realize tht,Michael really loved her and she never gave him a chance to be in a relationship wit her she just saw him as a friend and nuthin more and now she realizes but it's to late
@doolie50 - You are presuming that Diana was troubled about Michael's "sleeping with young boys"? How would you know that? In the first place, Michael did share his room not only with young boys but young girls and their parents as well. There was never any malice in all that so Diana wouldn't have been troubled about that. Pls. do your research before insinuating anything bad about Michael. Maybe Diana was too hurt to attend the memorial, that's why...
maybe, in record sales but Diana has never disfigured herself to the point of the grotesque.
She has 5 of her own biological half black beautiful children and has never tried lay claim to the parenthood of 3 caucasian children.
She has been a successful artist for more than half a century, and beyond her well documented troubles after the failure of her marriage, to our knowledge she hasn't had to employ a doctor to pump her full of dangerous drugs every night, cont
She doesn't have to worry about her nose falling off, or having to set off on tours to pay off enormous debts incurred in paying millions to minors who accuse her of all sorts of horrific abuse.
Frankly, I would say as a moral,functioning human she was,and is ,way ahead of him.
And that is not to denigrate his talent, they are both blessed individuals
@doolie50 Wow you are seriously bigoted and damn impertinent enough to say such insulting words..I'd like to tear your fingers and burn them but I'll just be glad that you're an asshole who isn't mj's fan..you really need to know yourself cuz it's so embarrassing to witness a lunatic with delusion for its idol firsthand.
I'm a moron for not falling for all the Michael Jackson nonsense.
He was an OK singer , and could click his heels and wear a beaded glove like no-one else, but that was about it.
But he was also a chronic drug addict and bad parent to his adopted children>
Let me ask you, what would have happened if those children had needed their father in the middle of the night when he was dosed up the nines with illegal drugs?
MJ fans need to take the blinkers off, he was a mess.
@doolie50 Do you have to be so insulting to try and make a point? Look, whatever your own thoughts about him, Diana Ross clearly thought highly of Michael Jackson since he was a child and the feeling was mutual. Now let it rest and stop bad mouthing a deceased person.
@sexytrannienj That's what I was wondering... out of all people, it seems like she would've been at MJ's memorial. There seemed to be a lot of people missing... Elizabest Taylor, Chris Tucker, Macaulay Culkin, Lisa Marie, etc... But mainly Diana. At least she did send a letter to be read.
@Refining1 I think a lot of people didnt come because they couldn't handle it. I remember Diana saying that it was too much for her to deal with...and Elizabeth was sick (I believe)
Diana Ross confused little Michaels mind very much so I dont know what to think of her............. Katherine, MJ's mom doesnt get along, DR couldnt-didnt attended MJ's funeral
This made me cry. Such a beautiful tribute. I'll love you for always Diana and Michael. Diana thanks for being such a kind friend to Michael. And Michael I miss you so much. Rest in Peace Michael. I'll love you forever and always.
No doubt Diana Ross has no boundaries when it comes to use anything & everyone for her professional gain, not only she did it to THE PRIMETTES / THE SUPREMES for her tenure as 1 of 10 from 1959/1970 but she never assists to MJ services & funeral but when it comes to a FAKE DRAMATIC GESTURE to sell tickets in her SUPREMES OLDIES REVIVAL TOUR she's ready to cash inn?
@AngelWithAFilthyMouth The publicity release by Motown/Berry/Diane of the chain of event that got Florence Ballard ousted from The Supremes, railroaded out of Motown and Black Listed In the Record Industry after she was made signed documents with Legal Representation provided by Berry Gordy that worked for Motown and protected their interest NOT HERS and then they sell to the public the BS you just gave to me?
@eccentricdiamond49 Jordie never admitted anything and it is well known that that Jordie Chandler admittion of guilt story was fake. Since the case, Jordie has never said anything to the press. But it is true that his father, who initially brought the case against Jackson commited suicide and the Gavin Arvizo story was invented to milk MJ for his money to which the jury acquitted him (MJ) of the false charges. Just a note of caution, everything you read on the internet isn't necessarily true
Michael jackson is still ALIVE. Find out true story behind MJ's exit from the public eye and possibly why he did it. See the facts, detail, strange occurances, family public apperances and unusual comments. Is it a little weird she would pay tribute to him in concert, but NOT attend the private second service for him. Wonder why? So many things don't add up, but if you take a closer look, youi will see that MJ and his family are leaving strong clues for the fans. See TWITTER / STEAMYHOTLATIN
Michael's three most valuable possessions in the world were Prince, Paris and Blanket. Out of all the countless people in the world that he knew and loved, he chose Diana Ross to take care of his children if Katherine wasn't able to do so. I would have thought a better choice would have been his sister Rebbie who's been happily married for 41 years and the most "normal" Jackson. Only time will tell after Katherine passes if Diana will step up to the plate or decline to raise the kids.
@delilah974 It's not whether or not she steps up, which I know Diana would gladly do. It is the fight that she would have with the rest of the Jacksons. Also, if Michael felt Rebbie was the best choice, then he would have named her as such. Michael never took any business or personal decisions lightly. Yes, his children are his most precious possessions and he would never leave their care in the hands of someone he didn't think was capable. For the record, Diana Ross is a wonderful mother.
The best tribute to MJ until know. Thanks Diana, I'm crying. I loved that she sung You Are Not Alone. She covered this songs long ago in of her albums
michael jackson was in love with diana, just look at his body language when he is with her, but there were to many other girls that got in the way, and she was old enough to be his mother, they knew it was taboo to be seem romantically, so they had to hide their feelings to the public. maybe they can meet in the next life ad have 10 babies together,
People can say some of the most off the wall things. Diana and Michael cared for each other dearly. Michael treasured her and he even thought he was in love with her at one time. But he did distance himself from Diana when she got engaged to Arne Ness because he was mad that Diana had never introduced them. She wanted Michael to give her away, but he declined and things were never the same after that because Michael was jealous, but he still adored her although they didn't see each other often.
This is for tommiexander - MJ wasn't mad at Diana over Arne Ness. That story and most of the other crappy things said about Diana and MJ are in Randy Taraborrelli's book, "Call Me Miss Ross'. He also wrote "The Magic, The Madness..." about MJ's life. Taraborrelli tried to pass himself off as a close friend of MJ's when in fact he was just another tabloid writer out to destroy MJ and make Diana look like a demanding bitchy diva. Only MJ and Diana know their true feelings about each other.
Diana Ross herself also made the same insinuation in her own book that she wrote. She wrote that she felt that Michael may have been upset or jealous that she didn't say anything to him about Arne Ness or introduce them. Because she said that's when Michael started distancing himself from her and he declined her invitation to be in her wedding to Arne.
@tommiexander - I didn't read her book so I appreciate the information. I didn't take Taraborrelli's book "Call Me Miss Ross" seriously because he's so ridiculous. Thanks again.
I only read memoirs and autobiographies that are written by the artist themselves and not by other writers. Because you will get more of the truth and the real story that way. I don't do second hand information very well.
Come on people diana & micheal loved each other to the end. He iodolized her as a child (as did oprah winfrey) and she was loyal friend and family to him to the end. not sure why people are pitting micheal and diana against each other here.. they weren't .
doolie is plain daft! Look at the record books mate. If you knew anything about what MJ had to go through, you'd slap yourself in the face real hard and apologise.
And one more thing, how dare she sing his song now when he sung it first and it was I believe meant for her and him with no response from her back then. And I also wonder has she been questioned by her now grown children about the relationship.
The tears are really flowing now, my heart is still broken..... thank you Diana, youre still amazing and I love you ....I miss you my dear Michael Joseph Jackson
As we cry we must act as well. Fans should also go to Oprah's site forum on facebook or send her an email to protest about her intention to show Katherine and Michael's children on her show. Oprah is about to show Lisa and other molestation cases in the same week next week. Fans should protest about all of this. Oprah has publicly treated Michael as guilty for so long just because she was molested herself. Please fans, please act!
This is beautiful. Thank you Diana. I love you and your singing so much. You and Michael were so good performing together. thanks for posting this video. I hadn't seen this before. I'm really pleased I got to see this video.
The defense didn't use them because he said that jury may consider it a publicity stunt. He wanted to humanized the proceedings. Google his trial tidbits, this fact is stated. Also, Diana publicly wore a shirt with his picture on it during the trial. I do feel that Michael distanced himself from many people after the trial but we do not know who he associated with behind closed doors. Many people are not aware that he talked into the wee hours of the night to Evan Ross who is Diana's son.
I have read the many comments about Diana not being a loyal friend....even some have mentioned Elizabeth also. I beg to differ on these statements because Diana Ross and Liz were great friends. I recall a list of people who was willing to testify for him in the 05 trial and two of those people were Diana and Liz.
I got to call it like I see it. Is she genuinely missing Mike or is she trying to Siphon off MJ's fans. I question the integrity of this individual & many others. Y would she sing you are not alone when he is gone? When he was alone there was no one present. By the 2nd charges against MJ not one individual from his past wanted to touch him with a 10 feet pole let alone show their fake ass faces. We've heard it time & time again from T. Mesereau. To act like he is sorely missed is disingenuous.
@patisserie1 The thought that she was trying to siphon off MJ fans is ludicrous. There was no advance publicity about this tribute, she was one of the few stars ( along with Liz Taylor ) who did not try to use his funeral for her own sake. This tribute was anything but ingenuous; it was obviously heartfelt and tasteful. That MJ willed his children to her care in case his mother couldn't also trumps your speculation, not to mention the fact that his kids were at her LA show.
@hallauthor....Why wait for a furneral to occur to profess 'I'm missing you,' & 'You are not alone..' He was alone! All of those & others, as many people feel as I do in this forum, waited too long to held out a hand toward MJ. Did you ever hear or see Ms. Ross or Ms. Taylor give any interview in support of Michael during his hearings? Hell no! I'm not speculating that she used his funeral but her actions about missing him now is questionable. So the kids went to her show; and what of it?
@patisserie Nothing speaks louder about their relationship than MJs will, which I notice you avoided in your response. Neither of those women needed to give public interviews, although Diana DID comment publicly when asked about MJ before his trial. In the same classy manner, she simply said "This is a family in a great deal of pain and in need of our prayers." You nor I know the full extent of what support he was given in private, where it counts most, and as Im sure you ( to be continued...)
@hallauthor Michael's Will speaks for him alone not for Diana (about Diana yes, but not for her) she speaks for herself, which is nothing worth anything.
@rocknroll773 She does speak for herself and she did very eloquently during the tour. His will spoke about how Michael felt about her and respected her, which obviously means the friendship they had was deeper than what the public saw...which is the way it should be. I don't care what you think of Diana, but Michael obviously cared a great deal for her, and she for him.
@hallauthor His Will says nothing about how Diana felt about him. It just proves how he felt about her. Bottom line. You can't assume something that was not said.
@rocknroll773 It WAS said, it was said privately ( as it should be between true friends ) and acknowledged publicly often, most recently during her tour, as I wrote above. And only a fool would believe that you would leave your kids in the care of someone who didn't care deeply for you.
@hallauthor This is really dumb, because if something was said privately, then how would you know that it was said. And her lil recent tour was after Michael's death which does him no good because he's not here to know or even care about it.
@rocknroll773 You clearly don't get it. They were real friends. She and her son Evan were close with Micahel until the end. They were close in the real world, not to gain publicity, not for personal gain. Evan Ross confirmed this in a recent interview. Your problem is you can't tell the difference between public personna and personal reality.
@patisserie1 and all other MJ fans cringed at anyone passing judgment on MJ for the accusations leveled against him, it is grossly unfair for you to pass judgment on the two public figures we know to have meant a great deal to him and whom he obviously held in the highest regard. Neither woman exploited him...ever..
@hallauthor So perfectly said! We don't know everything and if Michael's life didn't teach us about the unfairness of judging people without sufficient evidence, then we are hopeless.
I said it somewhere else in this forum; those who were too self-centered to help Michael in his time of need know who they are. The rest of us can speculate, but they know and they have to live with it.
@AnotherPart0fMe ,Ya you`re right. It`s just that until now i still feel bad for him. He always boldly expressed how he felt for Diana , the most evident was his Will. Everytime i hear people saying that she was not in Michael`s funeral, i get confuse.
Ahh well, i`ll just have to respect it the way diana want to have it.
@KingAddi Smokey Robinson read a statement from Diana at MJs memorial . It was before the service started & I think it was missed by most TV cameras. If you haven't heard it, search YT, "Diana Ross statement Michael Jackson memorial". They had a long history & a big impact on each others' lives. Whatever anyone in Michael's life does or doesn't do, someone will criticize. We're all protective of him because so many people have used and abused him, but Diana has to be one of the good ones.
@patisserie1 Very well spoken and keepin it real. Right on to you too,because everything that you have said from begining to end are true facts whether people want to believe, see it, or like it or not, it is what it is. It's a shame to say, but it's almost like some people waited for him to not be around anymore to come out, because Michael had everything on lockdown. But what they failed to realize is that they will never surpass him now or ever. lol Stay real.
I think Diana wasn't so closed of Michael in the last years. I don't remember exactly but in 2008 she said that wasn't in contact with Michael like one day they was. And what about he was alone in the trials: we don't know who helpe him, who talked to him, who go to see him! We weren't ate his side to see! Just because we didn't see some friends of Michael on the trial doesn't mean that they didn't stay with him. This is my opnion.
Diana Ross discovered Michael Jackson, and the Jackson 5's first album was "Diana Ross introduces the Jackson 5." Diana has shown that she is the one and only real, genuine, original diva. No one has had the longevity and amazing success that she has had. She blazed the original trail for black women, and she is healthy, wealthy and wise, with 5 gorgeous, well-adjusted children. Even Oprah Winfrey says that Diana Ross was the first black woman she ever saw on television that was beautiful.
She sounds wonderful. I'm so looking forward to seeing her 9/14 at the Tilles Center on Long Island. I wonder if she was still friends with Michael these past couple decades. I always kinda thought they were close friends in the 70s and 80s, then in the 90s and 00s he became isolated and weird, and, I don't know, her star waned here in the States, and they just were in separate orbits. But, of course, I don't know anything.
I just wish we would have seen her by his side in court or making a statement on his behalf how he was innocent when Michael needed someone besides his fans saying he is innocent, I just feel like everyone (entertainers) is coming out loving him so now that he is gone, why we didn't see the love when he was here from them.
@TRene04 Very true. Everyone abandoned Michael after the second child molestation charges, but could you blame them? Liz Taylor, Brooke Shields, Liza Minelli, and all his fair weather, fake tinsel town friends abandoned him. However, when he died and it was once again cool to like Michael, there was Brooke Shields at his funeral crying crocodile tears, hogging the spotlight, saying they were so close when she hadn't seen him in over 20 years.
@AsianCuteyTX "Could you blame them?" HELL YES!! Tom Mesereau said celebs who are now professing their love for MJ had refused to get involved in his trial, but of course he didn't name names. Any of his "friends" who didn't help him should be ashamed. He was INNOCENT, alone & going through pure hell, & they avoided him like a plague. Michael wouldn't have treated THEM that way. All too worried about their careers & reputations. I wonder if their careers & reputations help them sleep at night.
@AnotherPart0fMe.....Well said, I feel the same way. We heard it from Mesereau for those who were paying attention. I don't know of anyone who claimed to be so close to Mike did not even take to the airwaves & vehemently said that they believed in his innocence & let the chips fall where they may. Besides, the Jacksons only one group of people defended him; and they were his Fans. No one else was willing to put their asses on the line. Diana did the best thing by not showing up @ his funeral.
@AnotherPart0fMe , too bad,Mr. Mesereau did not name names. I`m just wondering if Diana was one of them who refused to help Michael in 2005 trial. I really hope not. I hope one day Miss Ross will decide to say something about Michael soon. I respect her privacy very much, but her being silent leads to some doubts and confusion. I hope she will decide to do it for Michael´s sake.
@KingAddi it would be unethical for him to give names. I try not to assume anything. Some testimonies may not have done any good in court-just be seen as MJs friends protecting him. But these people had the ability to defend him to the public. Media only airs what they want seen, so again I TRY not to assume anything. But TM makes it clear that MJ had fake friends. I tend to suspect the ones that jump into the spotlight after his death, but they know who they are and their day will come.
@AsianCuteyTX.....Right! Spot on. Personally for me, put all those fake bitches in a drum & roll them in the sea. Remember when short circuiting Minnelli used her callous remarks & cackled her way through the red carpet event? These are the same people who introduced MJ to Demerol. Ask Liz about that. As for Brooke, she hung on to Mike to remain famous. U know, hang on to a famous person to be famous. MJ was used by cackling hags & abused by ashkanazis until they had no further uses for him.
As soon as she started singing ... another day is gone .. I'm still all along .. the tears started. How can this be.. after 12 months and it still hurts. I'm just a fan, not a relative. That's the effect Michael had on soooo many of us.
@ABCHealTheWorld i totally agree wit u. when mj died i cried nd i felt as if someone i knew personally had died. the closest i hav ever been to him was listenin to his music on the cd. it wasnt until he died that i felt how much music could rly touch ppl ( i was always a fan nd never denied it) but i jus didnt know to wut effect it could b on ppl. RIP MJ
@ABCHealTheWorld and she can sing it with no tears. this fugly woman didnt give a fuck about mj..she played him around like sex toy now she used his name to promote her shows. fuck her fugly old woman!
@foreverneverO7 I'm not sure about everything you said, but I understand your feelings totally. Also, I do know that she was silent during mj's hard times, so I question her sincerity also. It's so hard seeing all these stars, some of them huge stars .. now acting as if they idolized michael, yet they left him out in the cold when he needed them so much. We don't know, maybe they did personally give support to Michael, but not publicly. He needed PUBLIC support ! True.
@ABCHealTheWorld the thing with her is she knew mj since he was just a little kid and then when mj got older she had sex with him all the while having him think that he's going to marry her, then she dumped him and went back to him when she needed publicity. then came the 03 trial, no support for him. it's ok with other stars who never know mj personally but for some old ass woman that knows and then used mj, it's unforgivable! i cant wait 4 this old woman to die a painful tragic death
@foreverneverO7 OK, that said, still .. Michael wanted her to be the guardian of his children IF Katherine could not. So Michael must have had a great deal of love and respect for DR. I'm not saying I'm right, but it seems that way to me. Anyway, it's all just sad.
@ABCHealTheWorld She was in Mj's WILL because MJ wanted to have a 'FAMILY' with her!!!! when MJ wanted something, he'd stick to it til he got it!!! and despite of diana ross being a whore, cheated him and dumped him, MJ was forgiving and he remembered how she was with him when he was a kid and still think she was good with kids, that's why mj thought it's perfect to name her in the WILL! Not only it indirectly helped him to have a 'family' with her, his kids will also be in good hands!!
@foreverneverO7 I understand your stupid frustration but I must say .You are a KNOWNOTHING asswipe and your full lof shit.. You know nothing of MJ and Diana relationship..You never met either one of them..nor have any real info about them at all.Your just here being an "attentionwhore" and speaking out your coward ass.. Go away ............smell Ya.. later!
@ABCHealTheWorld i agree. i am a huge fan. the nature of michael's problems made a lot of people stay away. that is no different to what happens with the same insinuations at a normal workplace. here in australia you are sacked first, before you can even defend yourself. diana would never stop loving michael. see her interview in 2007. she said there is no-one like him.
Don't forget she had young male children of her own at the time, she was probably so confused that her dear friend was caught up in all that.
Being a very private woman with her own life, why would she want to get involved in something that had nothing to do with her.
And there is NO, repeat NO evidence of any other feeling other than platonic love for him, or of her sleeping with him, she would have always known he was gay.
@doolie50 I'm not following your message to me. I think you have me mixed up with someone else's comments. I think you meant to reply to another person. Sorry. No comprehend .. but peace anyway.
@doolie50 PLEASE! How you gonna call yourself telling someone else about something that obviously, you don't even know what you are talking about. If he was such of a dear friend she should have been right there by his side. And YES, repeat YES there is evidence of her and Michael being intimate, via his own words in his book "Moonwalk" where he says that she was his "lover".
@doolie50 Your reply/comment is silly and your jealousy is plainly showing right here in from of the world. Michael matters BIGTIME to millions and millionsand will NEVER be forgotten, the album is excellent, he was "an angel on earth" .. as heads of entertainment call him, he helped thousands who were sick, homeless or in need of a college education .. and btw, nobody said anything about Diana not being good. You are extremely sensitive for some reason .. and then you say "peace" ??
@doolie50 Who said I'm "grieving hysterically" ? You have an overactive imagination sir/ms. You are a troll .. plain and simple. I hope you can "get a grip" .. (as you call it) and can leave me alone now, cuz I dislike trolls. Bye now.
@doolie50 Hey, obviously you are a DR fan and I am a MJ fan. And he is no more forgotten than Diana Ross. PLEASE, those little pennyannie tours that she does is nothing compared to Michael Jackson's mega tours that he has done. She could never catch up to him.
I think if you consider how frequent and often she has toured all over the world for the last 50 years ,and even the last 20 years, she will have played to the same or even more than him.
Anyway, as she hasn't turned herself into a walking horror show, or spent years defending herself from peadophilia allegations, or pretending to be the parent of 3 white children, I would say she is an all round more successful human , even without taking their careers into account.
@doolie50 come on now...never ever pit Diana and Michael against eachother. michael certainly wouldnt like it and neither would Diana. Diana was Mike's mentor and both proud of it.
Peace at christmas, I'm not michael fan but I respect you all.
There is, however, no need for anyone( and I don't mean you ) to not see this tribute as heartfelt, I have seen many Diana Ross concerts and she always gives herself totally.
That's why she is still touring 50 years after she first started and her sincerity is why Michael wanted her to raise his kids,
@doolie50 Doolie u dont sound like a diana fan. A diana fan should never bash Mike. I just received a 12 disk diana compilation and she defends Michael very fevereshly. She herself says there is no one like him. She isnt worried about comparing her career against his. Men have bigger careers in this type of field anyhow (when comparing megastars) because guys dont groupie so much as women
1 month ago @foreverneverO7 I'm not sure about everything you said, but I understand your feelings totally. Also, I do know that she was silent during mj's hard times, so I question her sincerity also
Yes to this and when I think back about it, I feel sad for Micheal because no one did come forth except his mother. Imagine how alone he must have felt (himself against the media world with no backup) but he still triumphed through it all.
This has been flagged as spam show
To me, Michael is the real king .. king of all entertainers, past, present and future!

Diana Ross was never in love with Michael Jackson, she loved him as a friend but that was it.
She has never said anything about it but I would guess she was unsettled by all the allegations against him.
Even so , she was a good friend to him and people should just accept that this is what it is, a heartfelt tribute.
And what a tribute, it was glorious, and so is she.
Why should she have gone to that terrible Staples Center Circus, it was dreadful?
doolie50 4 months ago
@doolie50 I agree that there was more than likely nothing going on between Diana and MJ, even in their minds. Diana Ross helped raise MJ and his brothers after they became aquainted with her. She mentored them in their showbusiness career. If anything, Michael saw her as a second mom, which is why, out of anyone else in his family, he left his kids to her (& his biological mom). People were confused about that because they didn't know the depths of their relationship. MJ was like a son to her.

@Superkick71 are you kidding? Diana had 10 years history with Berry Gordy both persponally and professionally before anyone even knew who Michael Jackson was, and he was a CHILD. So, WTF do you expect? Diana did not see MJ as a lover. She felt she was a mentor to him and cared for him as anyone would care for such a lovely, charismatic child. Even as he grew up, I'm sure she still saw him the same way because she was much older than him.

I think Diana Ross realized she love Michael more than a friend after he died so sad tht it took death for her to realize tht,Michael really loved her and she never gave him a chance to be in a relationship wit her she just saw him as a friend and nuthin more and now she realizes but it's to late

@MrsMichaelJackson18
I disagree, she must have been aware that he let young boys sleep in his bed and having young sons herself was probably a bit troubled .
The fact that she overlooked all that and decided to give over the final two songs of her show is a credit to her.
She really knew he was a troubled soul but still adored him and respected his enormous talent, but the love was maternal, not romantic.
She has stated many times that her second husband Arne Naess was the love of her life.

In the first place, Michael did share his room not only with young boys but young girls and their parents as well. There was never any malice in all that so Diana wouldn't have been troubled about that. Pls. do your research before insinuating anything bad about Michael.

She has 5 of her own biological half black beautiful children and has never tried lay claim to the parenthood of 3 caucasian children.
She has been a successful artist for more than half a century, and beyond her well documented troubles after the failure of her marriage, to our knowledge she hasn't had to employ a doctor to pump her full of dangerous drugs every night, cont

She doesn't have to worry about her nose falling off, or having to set off on tours to pay off enormous debts incurred in paying millions to minors who accuse her of all sorts of horrific abuse.
Frankly, I would say as a moral,functioning human she was,and is ,way ahead of him.

What?
I'm a moron for not falling for all the Michael Jackson nonsense.
He was an OK singer , and could click his heels and wear a beaded glove like no-one else, but that was about it.
But he was also a chronic drug addict and bad parent to his adopted children>
Let me ask you, what would have happened if those children had needed their father in the middle of the night when he was dosed up the nines with illegal drugs?
MJ fans need to take the blinkers off, he was a mess.

@doolie50 Do you have to be so insulting to try and make a point? Look, whatever your own thoughts about him, Diana Ross clearly thought highly of Michael Jackson since he was a child and the feeling was mutual. Now let it rest and stop bad mouthing a deceased person.

No doubt Diana Ross has no boundaries when it comes to use anything & everyone for her professional gain, not only she did it to THE PRIMETTES / THE SUPREMES for her tenure as 1 of 10 from 1959/1970 but she never assists to MJ services & funeral but when it comes to a FAKE DRAMATIC GESTURE to sell tickets in her SUPREMES OLDIES REVIVAL TOUR she's ready to cash inn?

@eccentricdiamond49 Jordie never admitted anything and it is well known that that Jordie Chandler admittion of guilt story was fake. Since the case, Jordie has never said anything to the press. But it is true that his father, who initially brought the case against Jackson commited suicide and the Gavin Arvizo story was invented to milk MJ for his money to which the jury acquitted him (MJ) of the false charges. Just a note of caution, everything you read on the internet isn't necessarily true

Michael jackson is still ALIVE. Find out true story behind MJ's exit from the public eye and possibly why he did it. See the facts, detail, strange occurances, family public apperances and unusual comments. Is it a little weird she would pay tribute to him in concert, but NOT attend the private second service for him. Wonder why? So many things don't add up, but if you take a closer look, youi will see that MJ and his family are leaving strong clues for the fans. See TWITTER / STEAMYHOTLATIN

Michael's three most valuable possessions in the world were Prince, Paris and Blanket. Out of all the countless people in the world that he knew and loved, he chose Diana Ross to take care of his children if Katherine wasn't able to do so. I would have thought a better choice would have been his sister Rebbie who's been happily married for 41 years and the most "normal" Jackson. Only time will tell after Katherine passes if Diana will step up to the plate or decline to raise the kids.
delilah974 11 months ago
@delilah974 It's not whether or not she steps up, which I know Diana would gladly do. It is the fight that she would have with the rest of the Jacksons. Also, if Michael felt Rebbie was the best choice, then he would have named her as such. Michael never took any business or personal decisions lightly. Yes, his children are his most precious possessions and he would never leave their care in the hands of someone he didn't think was capable. For the record, Diana Ross is a wonderful mother.

People can say some of the most off the wall things. Diana and Michael cared for each other dearly. Michael treasured her and he even thought he was in love with her at one time. But he did distance himself from Diana when she got engaged to Arne Ness because he was mad that Diana had never introduced them. She wanted Michael to give her away, but he declined and things were never the same after that because Michael was jealous, but he still adored her although they didn't see each other often.
tommiexander 1 year ago
This is for tommiexander - MJ wasn't mad at Diana over Arne Ness. That story and most of the other crappy things said about Diana and MJ are in Randy Taraborrelli's book, "Call Me Miss Ross'. He also wrote "The Magic, The Madness..." about MJ's life. Taraborrelli tried to pass himself off as a close friend of MJ's when in fact he was just another tabloid writer out to destroy MJ and make Diana look like a demanding bitchy diva. Only MJ and Diana know their true feelings about each other.
delilah974 11 months ago
@delilah974
Diana Ross herself also made the same insinuation in her own book that she wrote. She wrote that she felt that Michael may have been upset or jealous that she didn't say anything to him about Arne Ness or introduce them. Because she said that's when Michael started distancing himself from her and he declined her invitation to be in her wedding to Arne.

Oprah is about to show Lisa and other molestation cases in the same week next week. Fans should protest about all of this. Oprah has publicly treated Michael as guilty for so long just because she was molested herself. Please fans, please act!

The defense didn't use them because he said that jury may consider it a publicity stunt. He wanted to humanized the proceedings. Google his trial tidbits, this fact is stated. Also, Diana publicly wore a shirt with his picture on it during the trial. I do feel that Michael distanced himself from many people after the trial but we do not know who he associated with behind closed doors. Many people are not aware that he talked into the wee hours of the night to Evan Ross who is Diana's son.

I have read the many comments about Diana not being a loyal friend....even some have mentioned Elizabeth also. I beg to differ on these statements because Diana Ross and Liz were great friends.

I got to call it like I see it. Is she genuinely missing Mike or is she trying to Siphon off MJ's fans. I question the integrity of this individual & many others. Y would she sing you are not alone when he is gone? When he was alone there was no one present. By the 2nd charges against MJ not one individual from his past wanted to touch him with a 10 feet pole let alone show their fake ass faces. We've heard it time & time again from T. Mesereau. To act like he is sorely missed is disingenuous.
patisserie1 1 year ago
@patisserie1 The thought that she was trying to siphon off MJ fans is ludicrous. There was no advance publicity about this tribute, she was one of the few stars ( along with Liz Taylor ) who did not try to use his funeral for her own sake. This tribute was anything but ingenuous; it was obviously heartfelt and tasteful. That MJ willed his children to her care in case his mother couldn't also trumps your speculation, not to mention the fact that his kids were at her LA show.
hallauthor 1 year ago
@hallauthor....Why wait for a furneral to occur to profess 'I'm missing you,' & 'You are not alone..' He was alone! All of those & others, as many people feel as I do in this forum, waited too long to held out a hand toward MJ. Did you ever hear or see Ms. Ross or Ms. Taylor give any interview in support of Michael during his hearings? Hell no! I'm not speculating that she used his funeral but her actions about missing him now is questionable. So the kids went to her show; and what of it?
patisserie1 1 year ago
@patisserie Nothing speaks louder about their relationship than MJs will, which I notice you avoided in your response. Neither of those women needed to give public interviews, although Diana DID comment publicly when asked about MJ before his trial. In the same classy manner, she simply said "This is a family in a great deal of pain and in need of our prayers." You nor I know the full extent of what support he was given in private, where it counts most, and as Im sure you ( to be continued...)

@hallauthor Michael's Will speaks for him alone not for Diana (about Diana yes, but not for her) she speaks for herself, which is nothing worth anything.
rocknroll773 1 year ago
@rocknroll773 She does speak for herself and she did very eloquently during the tour. His will spoke about how Michael felt about her and respected her, which obviously means the friendship they had was deeper than what the public saw...which is the way it should be. I don't care what you think of Diana, but Michael obviously cared a great deal for her, and she for him.

@hallauthor His Will says nothing about how Diana felt about him. It just proves how he felt about her. Bottom line. You can't assume something that was not said.
rocknroll773 1 year ago
@rocknroll773 It WAS said, it was said privately ( as it should be between true friends ) and acknowledged publicly often, most recently during her tour, as I wrote above. And only a fool would believe that you would leave your kids in the care of someone who didn't care deeply for you.
hallauthor 1 year ago
@hallauthor This is really dumb, because if something was said privately, then how would you know that it was said. And her lil recent tour was after Michael's death which does him no good because he's not here to know or even care about it.
rocknroll773 1 year ago
@rocknroll773 You clearly don't get it. They were real friends. She and her son Evan were close with Micahel until the end. They were close in the real world, not to gain publicity, not for personal gain. Evan Ross confirmed this in a recent interview. Your problem is you can't tell the difference between public personna and personal reality.

@hallauthor So perfectly said! We don't know everything and if Michael's life didn't teach us about the unfairness of judging people without sufficient evidence, then we are hopeless.

But what they failed to realize is that they will never surpass him now or ever. lol Stay real.
rocknroll773 1 year ago
I think Diana wasn't so closed of Michael in the last years. I don't remember exactly but in 2008 she said that wasn't in contact with Michael like one day they was. And what about he was alone in the trials: we don't know who helpe him, who talked to him, who go to see him! We weren't ate his side to see! Just because we didn't see some friends of Michael on the trial doesn't mean that they didn't stay with him. This is my opnion.

Diana Ross discovered Michael Jackson, and the Jackson 5's first album was "Diana Ross introduces the Jackson 5." Diana has shown that she is the one and only real, genuine, original diva. No one has had the longevity and amazing success that she has had. She blazed the original trail for black women, and she is healthy, wealthy and wise, with 5 gorgeous, well-adjusted children. Even Oprah Winfrey says that Diana Ross was the first black woman she ever saw on television that was beautiful.

She sounds wonderful. I'm so looking forward to seeing her 9/14 at the Tilles Center on Long Island. I wonder if she was still friends with Michael these past couple decades. I always kinda thought they were close friends in the 70s and 80s, then in the 90s and 00s he became isolated and weird, and, I don't know, her star waned here in the States, and they just were in separate orbits. But, of course, I don't know anything.

TRene04 1 year ago 2
@TRene04 Very true. Everyone abandoned Michael after the second child molestation charges, but could you blame them? Liz Taylor, Brooke Shields, Liza Minelli, and all his fair weather, fake tinsel town friends abandoned him. However, when he died and it was once again cool to like Michael, there was Brooke Shields at his funeral crying crocodile tears, hogging the spotlight, saying they were so close when she hadn't seen him in over 20 years.
AsianCuteyTX 1 year ago
@AsianCuteyTX "Could you blame them?" HELL YES!! Tom Mesereau said celebs who are now professing their love for MJ had refused to get involved in his trial, but of course he didn't name names. Any of his "friends" who didn't help him should be ashamed. He was INNOCENT, alone & going through pure hell, & they avoided him like a plague. Michael wouldn't have treated THEM that way. All too worried about their careers & reputations. I wonder if their careers & reputations help them sleep at night.
AnotherPart0fMe 1 year ago
@AnotherPart0fMe.....Well said, I feel the same way. We heard it from Mesereau for those who were paying attention. I don't know of anyone who claimed to be so close to Mike did not even take to the airwaves & vehemently said that they believed in his innocence & let the chips fall where they may. Besides, the Jacksons only one group of people defended him; and they were his Fans. No one else was willing to put their asses on the line. Diana did the best thing by not showing up @ his funeral.
patisserie1 1 year ago
@AnotherPart0fMe , too bad,Mr. Mesereau did not name names. I`m just wondering if Diana was one of them who refused to help Michael in 2005 trial. I really hope not. I hope one day Miss Ross will decide to say something about Michael soon. I respect her privacy very much, but her being silent leads to some doubts and confusion. I hope she will decide to do it for Michael´s sake.
KingAddi 1 year ago
@KingAddi it would be unethical for him to give names. I try not to assume anything. Some testimonies may not have done any good in court-just be seen as MJs friends protecting him. But these people had the ability to defend him to the public. Media only airs what they want seen, so again I TRY not to assume anything. But TM makes it clear that MJ had fake friends. I tend to suspect the ones that jump into the spotlight after his death, but they know who they are and their day will come.
AnotherPart0fMe 1 year ago
@AsianCuteyTX.....Right! Spot on. Personally for me, put all those fake bitches in a drum & roll them in the sea. Remember when short circuiting Minnelli used her callous remarks & cackled her way through the red carpet event? These are the same people who introduced MJ to Demerol. Ask Liz about that. As for Brooke, she hung on to Mike to remain famous. U know, hang on to a famous person to be famous. MJ was used by cackling hags & abused by ashkanazis until they had no further uses for him.

@ABCHealTheWorld the thing with her is she knew mj since he was just a little kid and then when mj got older she had sex with him all the while having him think that he's going to marry her, then she dumped him and went back to him when she needed publicity. then came the 03 trial, no support for him. it's ok with other stars who never know mj personally but for some old ass woman that knows and then used mj, it's unforgivable! i cant wait 4 this old woman to die a painful tragic death

@ABCHealTheWorld She was in Mj's WILL because MJ wanted to have a 'FAMILY' with her!!!! when MJ wanted something, he'd stick to it til he got it!!! and despite of diana ross being a whore, cheated him and dumped him, MJ was forgiving and he remembered how she was with him when he was a kid and still think she was good with kids, that's why mj thought it's perfect to name her in the WILL! Not only it indirectly helped him to have a 'family' with her, his kids will also be in good hands!!

@foreverneverO7 but for some old ass woman that knows and then used mj, it's unforgivable! i cant wait 4 this old woman to die a painful tragic death
I agree w/ you but your ending is kind of harsh. It's not right for us to wish for someone's demise or how it should be.

@rocknroll773 did your grandma die a slow painful death?

@ABCHealTheWorld i agree. i am a huge fan. the nature of michael's problems made a lot of people stay away. that is no different to what happens with the same insinuations at a normal workplace. here in australia you are sacked first, before you can even defend yourself. diana would never stop loving michael. see her interview in 2007. she said there is no-one like him.

It was difficult for her when MJ was accused.
Don't forget she had young male children of her own at the time, she was probably so confused that her dear friend was caught up in all that.
Being a very private woman with her own life, why would she want to get involved in something that had nothing to do with her.
And there is NO, repeat NO evidence of any other feeling other than platonic love for him, or of her sleeping with him, she would have always known he was gay.

@doolie50 I'm not following your message to me. I think you have me mixed up with someone else's comments. I think you meant to reply to another person. Sorry. No comprehend .. but peace anyway.
ABCHealTheWorld 1 year ago
@doolie50 PLEASE! How you gonna call yourself telling someone else about something that obviously, you don't even know what you are talking about. If he was such of a dear friend she should have been right there by his side. And YES, repeat YES there is evidence of her and Michael being intimate, via his own words in his book "Moonwalk" where he says that she was his "lover".

It doesn't really matter anymore does it?
He's dead and ,apart from a few obsessives, all but forgotten.
Or would be if his greedy family and record company would stop hiring sound-alikes to keep the cash rolling in.
The album they are putting out is shocking, it's old fashioned and his sound is dated.
Elvis Presley , he ain't, that's for sure.
BTW Diana's tour is being extended and she did get a Kennedy Center Honor.
She's very much alive and well, and doing her thing.
Peace!

@doolie50 Your reply/comment is silly and your jealousy is plainly showing right here in from of the world. Michael matters BIGTIME to millions and millionsand will NEVER be forgotten, the album is excellent, he was "an angel on earth" .. as heads of entertainment call him, he helped thousands who were sick, homeless or in need of a college education .. and btw, nobody said anything about Diana not being good. You are extremely sensitive for some reason .. and then you say "peace" ??

You need to get a grip, he was an OK singer who became very successful and then decided to turn himself into Frankenstein's monster.
And now he's dead.
And for someone to grieve hysterically for someone who isn't their own family seems a bit theatrical, if you don't mind me saying.

@doolie50 Who said I'm "grieving hysterically" ? You have an overactive imagination sir/ms. You are a troll .. plain and simple. I hope you can "get a grip" .. (as you call it) and can leave me alone now, cuz I dislike trolls. Bye now.

@doolie50 Hey, obviously you are a DR fan and I am a MJ fan. And he is no more forgotten than Diana Ross. PLEASE, those little pennyannie tours that she does is nothing compared to Michael Jackson's mega tours that he has done. She could never catch up to him.

@rocknroll773
I think if you consider how frequent and often she has toured all over the world for the last 50 years ,and even the last 20 years, she will have played to the same or even more than him.
Anyway, as she hasn't turned herself into a walking horror show, or spent years defending herself from peadophilia allegations, or pretending to be the parent of 3 white children, I would say she is an all round more successful human , even without taking their careers into account.

@doolie50 come on now...never ever pit Diana and Michael against eachother. michael certainly wouldnt like it and neither would Diana. Diana was Mike's mentor and both proud of it.

Peace at christmas, I'm not michael fan but I respect you all.
There is, however, no need for anyone( and I don't mean you ) to not see this tribute as heartfelt, I have seen many Diana Ross concerts and she always gives herself totally.
That's why she is still touring 50 years after she first started and her sincerity is why Michael wanted her to raise his kids,
She is a good woman!

@doolie50 Doolie u dont sound like a diana fan. A diana fan should never bash Mike. I just received a 12 disk diana compilation and she defends Michael very fevereshly. She herself says there is no one like him. She isnt worried about comparing her career against his. Men have bigger careers in this type of field anyhow (when comparing megastars) because guys dont groupie so much as women

1 month ago @foreverneverO7 I'm not sure about everything you said, but I understand your feelings totally. Also, I do know that she was silent during mj's hard times, so I question her sincerity also
Yes to this and when I think back about it, I feel sad for Micheal because no one did come forth except his mother. Imagine how alone he must have felt (himself against the media world with no backup) but he still triumphed through it all.
