Wow, Miss Ross is BOLD ! I see why so many people speak about her in such a negative manner. I honestly believe she's a fun person who doesn't always take herself too seriously and maybe others (Mary Wilson) have taken as if she always has to be the center of attention. WHO WOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO "THE BOSS"?
Who wants to see a vid of Diana's celeb crush or Diana with her crush?(since she didn't mention him in the interview) I'll give you all a couple hints it's not MJ but another music legend that just might surprise you all
OMG!! I can see where Beyonce got her look from! Not saying she copied it, but Beyonce has to have been inspired by Diana. From the hair to the earrings, Diana looked hot here.
@1Lady22Ginger I know! I feel that way too! & agree! I wish it was on DVD the WHOLE Series! It needs to be a DVD Arsenio Hall seasons ALL of them, not no Best of.. ALL of the complete show w/extra stuff like behind scenes & things like that!
@ruapria . If you listen to her speaking oice when she was with the Supremes it sounds incredibly musical, more so than here. It's a shame she never did voice overs.
@musiclover77able I dont know if she bleached her skin. But having seen her in person, she is a brown skinned woman. Not light skinned. Maybe she looks lighter lately is due to better lighting and makeup.
Your illiteracy is surpassed only by your ignorance.
I stated, 5 MONTHS AGO, that Diana Ross has always been CARAMEL-COLORED & that lighting, make-up, etc., can change the on-camera appearance of her skin color.
The video record supports this:
"The Happening", 1967: watch?v=2VJnaULJZ6k
"Respect", 1968: watch?v=MPjqpd5CFQg
Resolve your skin color issues, instead of trying to project them onto others.
I know there are better voices in the music industry but Diana had and still has a way of interpreting a song in a way that no one else can. And thats really the key to being the star that she is. Its not all about "the voice". In my opinion, if you wanna remain on top for as long as she has, you gotta be able to connect to the common person. Say what you want about her, but she's figured out how to do that for the better part of 50 years. I love her because no one sounds like her.
Perhaps she had been outside more....you know Black people do tan.....perhaps she was outdoors a lot or something.........check her out on the VIEW and she is noticeably lighter, now.
its makeup and lighting. This was a BLACK show...so the lighting and make up is geared to dark skin...if u look at other stuff after the view and in between the skin fluctuates
i admite i fell in love with her as a kid when i swore she was darker but,rather he bleached or not..WHO CARES??? she is still a fantastic LEGENDARY talent
The rude and false comments about Diana Ross "bleaching" her skin come from those seeking to project their own color and ethnicity issues onto her. They see her skin color as yet one more advantage that she has over them which, in their envious minds, makes it even easier for her to achieve the success they'll never achieve, so, they come here to vent their life's frustrations.
Diana Ross has been the same caramel color since her birth. Camera stock, lighting, etc., can all change the visible shade of someone's skin.
See the clip where she sings "I Know I'm Losing You" with The Supremes & Temptations. Her skin is caramel-colored. Her skin is dark brown in "GIT", which was filmed AFTER the "IKILY" clip.
sorry MJ had VITILIGO which make yu lose you skin pigmentation so Mj did not go white on purpose. She look lighter in winter I get lighter brown in winter. But some time people change as they get older I know i have . I was darker when I was younger.
i had to block that idiot.these kids have no home training or lost it on their way out the door........i get lighter in the winter also.......i seem to be getting darker as i get older though..........
@love17717...You right, my mum and I do get lighter brown during winter as well and my dad, brother and sisters who are all born very light skins get even more lighter during winter and sometime people do think they are mix-race...so I don't get why people keep fussing about this race colour thing and some people do get darker or lighter when they older and some stay the same...so for me a darker or lighter Diana she is still very BEAUTIFUL
@love17717...I'm from Africa and don't think that all Africans are very dark they way the media love to show on TV...there's so many different complexion you'll find like the dark and very dark skins, the brown, lighter brown, caramel skins and the light and very light skins, especially in central Africa from where I'm from and it's natural, even if some of the women are lightning there skins but most of the African women love the way they have been created....
@love17717...As Michael Jackson said " They call us people of colour because we come with different complexion such as black, brown, light, caramel..."you name it but at the end we're still black and we need to learn to love the way God created us and stop creating this division amongst black people because of our different complexions because in the eyes of other races we'll always be black to them.
HELLO! You ARE being rude! We don't know what was up with MJs skin. Perhaps Diana is wearing a lighter make up kit. Or perhaps you need your eyes checked. Diana has allways presented herself as a beautiful BLACK woman. For my parents you didn't see many black women on TV. When they did. More than likely it was Diana Ross!
She looks really fashionable for the day. It would have been refreshing for fans to see a change in her image from the 80's. Not that I didn't love her in the 80's!
Now.. this looks more like her true skin tone. This is the Diana that I remember from back in the day. I still have a problem with those who say she has never bleached or altered her skin tone in some sort of way. She is much lighter today then she use to be. I initially remember seeing the change in her video "why do fools fall in love". I remember it because it almost appeared as if she was luminating in the same manner as MJ skin tone did.
again...........anyone you see on t.v. is lighter now due to lightingand makeup. i have seen her live twice this decade, she is still the same brown skinned woman we grew up on. she out my live in chicago video
anytime.but oprah is lighter on tv.........black folks and color tv has always been a problem.........everyone was darker in the 70s..........hell we now see aretha is really a light-brown skinned woman
patti patti had a nip n tuck a few years back and she looks great.always did........but patti is a brown skinned sista a lil darker than diana........but sometimes it has her lighter than what she is
Are you kidding me, this woman would look good in a potato sack. She so refined...That's why she's never won a grammy, she's too sophisticated and successful and gorgeous, and she has raw talent which they can't accept that the public likes so much. they don't get it
she was only kidding her and patti go way back to when both road buses and shared roomed next door in cheap motels while performing at places like the Apollo theater and all the other chitlin circuts.they did become closer after the Legends Ball..Patti herself admitted that recently that they exchanged numbers and chat often. but there was competition in the early days.remember cindy left her group for a bigger group. diana's group. but they later buried the hatchet but will joke on the other.
Trailblazer, innovator, way ahead of her time.....MIS. ROSS, she is truly a legend. Everyone should watch the video of her with all of her kids to see how she is such a loving person.
I love me some Diana, but she knows she was wrong for saying Patti ate that lash! All Hail Ross!!!!!! Truly the queen. May GOd continue to bless her and her career.
I know a lot of people have made fun of her for the "white girl straight hair" look -- but I don't even think of that one way or another and think the look seemed BEAUTIFUL on her here!
did she say patti ate it??
