Miss Ross is wearing a gown that cost $18,00 (fabric, sewing). Yes! She designed it. You are correct,. 3 visions of Diana-mite without leaving the stage. Now tell me what are you wearing. Oops!
I never saw this clip of her before. For someone who was about 63 at the time, not damned bad-looking or -sounding! In singing of Stevie, it shows how she can tackle songs like that as not many of her contemporaries can--I wish she still did more of those "standards" in her live acts--but actually, she has so many famous songs of hers and The Supremes', she couldn't probably fit those all in her shows, too! Go, Di! :)
Diana Ross has always been the epitome of glamour and class. There's only a few Black female stars that has stood the test of time and still exuberant timeless beauty with a command stage presence like Ms. extraordinare, Diana Ross.
There are singers and there are legends on the stage, and forever this beauty will be known as one of the most spectacular lady performers of the Century! The INCOMPARABLE MS. DIANA ROSS !!!
Chesneysimon person...read your music history, for you are speaking only from a matter of your personal opinion which doesn't hold much weight here! Diana Ross is one of the greatest entertainers of our lifetime, and one day when your taste in real music and performers matures properly, even you and your lame attitude will realize this!!! LMAO at you!!!
Diana Ross paid tribute to Wonder, performing pieces of "My Cherie Amour," "I Just Called To Say I Love You" and "For Once in My Life," while Mary J. Blige turned out a rendition of "As" and Destiny's Child contributed a version of "Livin' for the City."
firstly, every single that ever lived emulates or copies something from some one, being inspired is natural, beyonces career is based on lies does this even make sense, she is not overrated at all, if anything beyonce is underrated for her singing talent. diana ross is the one who is overrated, she doesnt even make it into the top twenty of greatest singers alive, her voice is audinary, fuckin the boss to get somewhere isnt legendary mate.
And do you honestly believe the reason Diana Ross was able to survive in the business for 50+ years, have 18 #1 hits, win a Tony, a Golden Globe, an Oscar nomination...was ALL because she was, as you say, "f***** the boss"???
i think the Diana/Beyonce comparisons are tired...but don't try to bump one up by tearing the other down...
@mnmcv1 i clearly made a spelling mistake, 2 points to you......i didnt try and 'bump' any one up, i was replying to something, i have no reason to tear diana down, and i dont believe i said that was all because she was fucking the boss, but the fact remains she got her leg up because she got her legs over, what she done after i never really contested. 18 number 1's? on what official charts? working in the business 50+ years and being successful for 50 odd years are two very different things.
#1- what chart??? The Billboard Hot 100 chart, of course. But if you factored in her hits in the UK and all around the world, the number rise considerably.
#2- Diana came to Motown when she was still underage. Most people confirm her relationship with Gordy didnt start until around 1965-66, AFTER the Supremes had hit it big.
#1- sorry, that includes the #1's that she sang lead on with the Supremes (in some cases with anonymous backup singers). I guess you're saying she has NO claim to them, even though it's her doing most of the work?
#2- his main contribution to her solo career (Lady Sings the Blues) was AFTER their relationship. She was already married to another man.
#3- her last UK Top 10 hit was in 2006. Between 1991 and 2006 she had 12 Top 40 hits in the UK, 5 of them in the Top 10.
@mnmcv1 that is correct Mary and Cindy did not appear on "Love Child" or "Someday we'll be together", the "Supremes" last 2 US number one hits. Diana Ross was lead vocalist on 18 US number ones. The Supremes are her only credited backing vocalists, even though on some releases it wasn't vocals of the actual Supremes you were hearing. Mary and Cindy were lucky to be credited on at least 2 number one hits they didn't even sing on. Diana is unmistakable on all 18 .
#3- I said "survive" in the business for 50 years. But since you mention it, yes, while her chart success in the US cooled after the 1980's, Diana has still been a hitmaker internationally, & is still able to tour and sell out concert halls in the US & arenas in Europe/Asia/Australia. It's very hard to be around for 50 years without some career lowpoints. Just ask Cher.
PS- & she did this all without Matthew Knowles around to push her to stardom from day one.
Diana paved the way for Beyonce,just like Lena Horne paved the way for Diana. Beyonce hasn't really opened any doors for anyone,they've all been opened.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. SHE LOOK THE SAME ON TV AND IN PERSON I REMBER SEEING HER IN CONCERT AND THE NEXT FEW DAYS SHE WAS ON TV I CRY I AM HAPPY TO SEE HER AND CAN NOT WATE TO SEE HERE AGAIN IN 2011 OR WHEN SHE GET BACK ON TOUR LOVE YOU MISS DIANA ROSS

@puximball i think you're right. she has made some great recordings, but she doesn't have the power of a patti labelle or chaka kahn, or the soulfulness of aretha franklin or gladys knight...but she does have an undeniable quality. she's got charisma, doesn't she?
would you compare diana in LSDB with byoncee in dreamgirls(wich she play diana BTW) ...or you watch the dancing piece that diana do at the holliwood palace and then you see that she is a better dancer than shaking ass byoncee...diana is a LEGEND byoncee is a copycat wannabe
oh come on now! beyonce will be NEVER a legend like diana ross,michael jackson or stevie wonder...she don't even has a classic album (crazy in love,single ladies are shit and soon forget)...she is just take in consideration cause the lack of talent nowaday and her screaming voice seems gold but there is nothing special in what she do.
diana breaks barriers and she perform in every aspect of entertainment (she win a tony award also)
@damskooo To be a legend takes a lot more than "outselling" someone. Sure, succes is needed but that's only a piece of the pie. Beyonce copies from everyone. Her career is based on a bunch of lies. Her songs are forgettable. I don't hate beyonce, but she's overrated! Just because you show up everywhere in the media does not make you better than everyone else. It is what it is. Diana can't sing? LOL. She sings much better than Beyonce who CAN sing but
@prettybabymj calm down. in 40 years beyonce will be considered a legend. Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Usher, Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige. They will be considered legends. the same stuff ur sayin about beyonce is the same thing they said about Diana ross back in the day. and look at what happened... she became a livin legend along side Tina Turner, Aretha, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick.
@cchllover I already consider Mariah one. MJB will be one too. The rest won't be to me. They have some talent but nothing extraordinary nor did they do anything to change the game or be innovative.
What the hell HAS happened with her voice??I just can't figure out what the problem is and why it can't be fixed!!She sounds so hoarse and so strained...so unlike Diane!!God...i just pray it comes back...such a special tonality she had...!!Sendin all my positive thoughts and vibes to diane...the wonderful girl that she IS (an i mean the 'private' Diana...i was lucky enough to get to spend a lot of time with her,and i love her dearly!!)XXXX!!
@TheMrMarilyn she's been running all over the world singing nonstop for the last 3 yrss that's what's wrong with her voice.. it's over worked.. the bad news is she still has a lot more dates in the usa then she's off to Japan and europe and coming back and doing more usa shows..
I can see this sort of tribute being given to Beyonce in about 20 years...she has is being called the "Diana Ross" of her generation. I guess we will see.
@Annazayla girl ur delusional beyonces "music Career" is a joke she is not the Diana Ross of our generation....shes the mediocre talent of our generation...what are they gonna sing "single ladies" oh yea those songs have great meaning to America....
@LILRuthlessplaya88 Well, no one kicked up dust when people were referring to Aaliyah as the "Diana Ross" of her generation before she died...you, like many others might think that Diana Ross has mediocre talent, nevertheless, didn't Diana Ross also? Single Ladies is the best dance video I have seen since "Thriller." And NO I am NOT comparing Bey to MJ--the two are on diff. levels.
@LILRuthlessplaya88 Beyonce is talented tooshe can dance and sing...Aaliyah could dance her butt off, and her voice was ok....and Diana Ross paved the way. All three ladies have made their contributions to the world of music and will be remembered.
@Beyoncefan1000 i dont even have to look at ur profile to tell ur a crazed BLACK ignorant uneducated beyonce fan...hope ur happy in ur trap..LOSER HAHAHAHA
Well,Guys..Let me say this I saw Miss Ross at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall in 2007 and 08 and She sounded flawless. Every Singer has an off night and i've seen them when they do. Ross is no exception. She may not sound Her best in this Performance,but Miss Ross still got it and she's still touring the World without a hit Record or something to promote. Todays Young Folks absolutely couldn't or wouldn't do that. Hell You think Beyonce will sound the same in 7 Years from now?
@nubianprince1985 Maybe not in 7 years,but maybe in about 20 years....I do believe that Bey will be considered a legend of her generation..not only her but Kelly, Michelle, Alicia Keys, Brit Spears, Christina A., Leona Lewis, Jen Hudson and a host of others. Don't you think so? what makes
Excellent point @kindezi1@nubianprince1985 This was only a few years ago the woman is blessed to be in her 6O's and rockin the house like this...touring the world without a current project out- She's pretty awesome... Singing in her comfort- vocal range is a good thing also - she knows folks still want her to sing Baby Love up High but -truth is she is not 20 years old anymore -and she still sounds good! Rock on Ms Ross!
rather Diana's voice is clear as it use to be or not,,the fact remains is she is still one fantastic performer/entertainer who can not be compared... and that is a FACT
Oh...give me a burrrREAK!!!!Diane is an OLD AGE PENSIONER fo fuk sake...it's just the laws of physics that human bodies (yes,INCLUDING ones VOICE BOX!!) break DOWN towards ones lifes end...FACT...an Diane's performance of this track in THIS instance IS dreadful...but then again...it's being compared to her legendary lifes work,which,for the most part IS flawless,so even SHE comes off 'badly' compared to even her OWN legacy,but this 1 'bad' showing in no WAY detracts from her genius/legend,END OF
Oh people who came on here and criticized this performance! Get a life! As you criticize and analyze the vocals, How many of you can do better? NONE!! Absolutely she is stunning here and as you go down through these comments you will find me listed here a few times, almost everytime I visit this website I listen to this performance and watch it like it'smy 1st time seeing it because it's all of that and then some. The night this aired for the first time in 2004 I saw it and Loved it! Still do!!
uhmmm ... no ... you're wrong ... Diana Ross was NEVER considered to be a strong vocalist ... hence the drama between her and Florence Ballard/The Supremes. Her claim to fame is not her vocals but yet the "it" factor that Berry Gordy saw in her ...
Blueu Savoy diana was always considered to be an outstanding vocalist. particularly "post" supremes . the loud black gospel singing was never her style & thank God, she's someone who refused to be put in that mold, there's a difference between being a good vocalist and a gospel style singer don't confuse the two. Her records sold by the millions not because of the "it" factor that she does have but because of her vocal abilities. People have always loved her voice.
@BleuSavoy PREACH! I wish ppl would stop acting like some of our favorite celebs became superstars due to talent only...come one, everyone should know by now that when it comes to black female artist, if they dont' have the "it" factor...if they can't "cross over" and appeal to mainstream media and fans, they really will not have a very successful career. This is where that "there can only be one reigning black female at a time" rule comes from. It has always been this way and it still is.
Having seem her live I'm concert more than 20 times over the years, Diana Ross has always been the supreme master of both showmanship and high style. She looks GREAT at 60 plus! In my opinion, her voice is not as strong as in the past. I love her forever!
I just love megative jealous hearted ***holes like Kurtsupreme...you use Diana Ross's singng group as your Ytube handle but always downing her...stop drinking haterade and GROW UP!
ms ross is a soprano supreme she was forced to sing in her soubrette soprano in the 60's with the supremes., when miss ross is actually is a first class soprano...this vocally was her best and i love it..
@LILRuthlessplaya88 you've got to be kidding??? "this vocally was her best and i love it" newsflash this is some of the worst singing of her career, right up there with her American idol performance.... b.t.w. when was the last time diana sounded like diana? she really should give it a rest now, that's what retirement is all about and she needs to retire.
oh girl ur upset...like i said diana said she is really a soprano....in her supreme days she said "she sang through her nose"....as she said! it was different and i enjoy it.! and u aint changing my opinion...
@LILRuthlessplaya88 dahling there's no accounting for taste... if you think she sounds good here. Soprano?? used too be, right now she needs some estrogen, she's a tenor or a baratone.
YES DAHLING YES! she sounds like diana she choose to sang it how her vocals are...like every other singer who wants to sing in there range...diana dont have to sound just "pop"...she does have a range...
Sorry you are a hater for this performance Alvin4NY !!! I Still Love It !!! Ms. Ross doesn't please everyone with her sound and each note, but the silver lining that exists in every cloud is that her vocals always work for me... Die Hard Fan Baby!!!...LOL
WOW...Now she is a REALClassy lady!!!Some of these naked-ass singers can learn a lesson or two from Ms. Ross on how to be a lady...& I wanna look like that when Im 63 too!!!
long after she is gone, I predict this moment will be viewed as indicative of the period when the phoenix rose again...when Diana emerged from the turmoil of the most difficult period of her life to take her rightful place as true "legend"...
This is definitely one of Diana's most flawless performances, signature exclusive grand entrances to the stage and magnificent vocals. And as usual, classy and elegant. A timeless beauty that has maintained herself extremely well so all can see what 60's are really supposed to look like. Forever A Supreme Diva !!! I will alway's LOVE you lady !!!
Never been on Prodigy and don't hate her, by any means. I can be objective though and note a weak vocal when I hear it. She needs a vocal coach to work with her, the voice is an instrument-and hers sounds like it needs an oil can.
@Alvin4NY Agree with you on that one. but Diana isn't going to take instruction from any vocal coach... who would be brave enough to tell her "Miss Ross you're flat again"?
This performance just shows why Diana is an icon. Not just because of her vocals. But also because when it came to the stage... She was such a entertainer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh my GOD...this is BEYOND dreadful!!!!When she (tries!!) to sing 'For Once In My Life' it sounds like it's in the wrong key for her voice (WAY too low) plus,she sounds all 'raspy' as well!!This has GOT to be one of...if not THE worst performances from Diane (and i've seen QUITE a few!!) ever!!!!I'm actually stunned at how truly dreadful this is!!I love Diane SO much...i just can't figure out what the hell happened here..this is NOT the 'Diana' that we all know and love...not by a VERY long shot
She sounds sexy belting out Stevie song in that key.. and not many 63 year old women can do what she did here and stand beside 20 year old women and still hold the room's attention! I wanna look like that when i hit 60 -- hell i wanna look like that at 30!! GO MS ROSS!!!
WOw I think she sounds gorgeous singing that song! Shows her amazing range..she must be singing far lower than her preferred range but she does it amazingly well. She sings from the heart, I think that;s what always shows through...
nonsense...the only fault in the entire vocal is when her voice briefly cracked at the end. otherwise she has no problem hitting the notes...the key is not "way too low". Vocally its serviceable, and visually, it's NOTHING short of stunning. You're actually the first person I've heard knock this performance to such an extreme degree.
@mnmcv1 she sounds like shit and you know it and she does too. what is this charade about?? why is she still out on the road embarrassing herself with these vocal performances? is she going to be doing this in a few yrs when she's 75-80? she's 67 yrs old; get off the stage and enjoy your numerous accolades.
Man I recorded this performance from TV SO LONG AGO and still have it. Just lookin' like a scrumptious red rose! Along with Destiny's Childs performance in this tribute show singing ''Living for the City''.
Copy and paste under search;
Destiny's Child - Living For The City Live At the 2004 Billboard Awards (Tribute To Stevie Wonder)
But the strangest thing at the end of the show when Stevie got up and sang himself, at the end he looked so sad, it was heartbreaking. :-(
This lady is a born entertainer. well taught well studied Perfect! The moment she drops the dress. Im just in AWE and the lights and when she says HEY HEY! Dont stop the music. So much sooul.
Amazing performance, but the voice? What happened?

@TheMrMarilyn she's been running all over the world singing nonstop for the last 3 yrss that's what's wrong with her voice.. it's over worked.. the bad news is she still has a lot more dates in the usa then she's off to Japan and europe and coming back and doing more usa shows..

@Annazayla girl ur delusional beyonces "music Career" is a joke she is not the Diana Ross of our generation....shes the mediocre talent of our generation...what are they gonna sing "single ladies" oh yea those songs have great meaning to America....
LILRuthlessplaya88 1 year ago
@LILRuthlessplaya88 Well, no one kicked up dust when people were referring to Aaliyah as the "Diana Ross" of her generation before she died...you, like many others might think that Diana Ross has mediocre talent, nevertheless, didn't Diana Ross also? Single Ladies is the best dance video I have seen since "Thriller." And NO I am NOT comparing Bey to MJ--the two are on diff. levels.
Annazayla 1 year ago
@Annazayla of course not she had talent.....aaliyahs music had meaning...i was talking about beyonces talent is mediocre....diana ross is legendary!
LILRuthlessplaya88 1 year ago
@LILRuthlessplaya88 Beyonce is talented tooshe can dance and sing...Aaliyah could dance her butt off, and her voice was ok....and Diana Ross paved the way. All three ladies have made their contributions to the world of music and will be remembered.

Well,Guys..Let me say this I saw Miss Ross at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall in 2007 and 08 and She sounded flawless. Every Singer has an off night and i've seen them when they do. Ross is no exception. She may not sound Her best in this Performance,but Miss Ross still got it and she's still touring the World without a hit Record or something to promote. Todays Young Folks absolutely couldn't or wouldn't do that. Hell You think Beyonce will sound the same in 7 Years from now?
nubianprince1985 2 years ago 3
@nubianprince1985 Maybe not in 7 years,but maybe in about 20 years....I do believe that Bey will be considered a legend of her generation..not only her but Kelly, Michelle, Alicia Keys, Brit Spears, Christina A., Leona Lewis, Jen Hudson and a host of others. Don't you think so? what makes
Annazayla 1 year ago
Excellent point @kindezi1 @nubianprince1985 This was only a few years ago the woman is blessed to be in her 6O's and rockin the house like this...touring the world without a current project out- She's pretty awesome... Singing in her comfort- vocal range is a good thing also - she knows folks still want her to sing Baby Love up High but -truth is she is not 20 years old anymore -and she still sounds good! Rock on Ms Ross!

@yurherenow
uhmmm ... no ... you're wrong ... Diana Ross was NEVER considered to be a strong vocalist ... hence the drama between her and Florence Ballard/The Supremes. Her claim to fame is not her vocals but yet the "it" factor that Berry Gordy saw in her ...
BleuSavoy 2 years ago
Blueu Savoy diana was always considered to be an outstanding vocalist. particularly "post" supremes . the loud black gospel singing was never her style & thank God, she's someone who refused to be put in that mold, there's a difference between being a good vocalist and a gospel style singer don't confuse the two. Her records sold by the millions not because of the "it" factor that she does have but because of her vocal abilities. People have always loved her voice.
yurherenow 2 years ago
@BleuSavoy PREACH! I wish ppl would stop acting like some of our favorite celebs became superstars due to talent only...come one, everyone should know by now that when it comes to black female artist, if they dont' have the "it" factor...if they can't "cross over" and appeal to mainstream media and fans, they really will not have a very successful career. This is where that "there can only be one reigning black female at a time" rule comes from. It has always been this way and it still is.

ms ross is a soprano supreme she was forced to sing in her soubrette soprano in the 60's with the supremes., when miss ross is actually is a first class soprano...this vocally was her best and i love it..

@LILRuthlessplaya88 you've got to be kidding??? "this vocally was her best and i love it" newsflash this is some of the worst singing of her career, right up there with her American idol performance.... b.t.w. when was the last time diana sounded like diana? she really should give it a rest now, that's what retirement is all about and she needs to retire.

ludel 2 years ago
Never been on Prodigy and don't hate her, by any means. I can be objective though and note a weak vocal when I hear it. She needs a vocal coach to work with her, the voice is an instrument-and hers sounds like it needs an oil can.
Alvin4NY 2 years ago

karenstube 2 years ago 2
nonsense...the only fault in the entire vocal is when her voice briefly cracked at the end. otherwise she has no problem hitting the notes...the key is not "way too low". Vocally its serviceable, and visually, it's NOTHING short of stunning. You're actually the first person I've heard knock this performance to such an extreme degree.

@mnmcv1 she sounds like shit and you know it and she does too. what is this charade about?? why is she still out on the road embarrassing herself with these vocal performances? is she going to be doing this in a few yrs when she's 75-80? she's 67 yrs old; get off the stage and enjoy your numerous accolades.

Copy and paste under search;

But the strangest thing at the end of the show when Stevie got up and sang himself, at the end he looked so sad, it was heartbreaking. :-(
