WAIT a minute y'all... is O' girl from the show "Girlfriends" Diana's daughter?

[BrothaAjay2]

[mahoganyflame]

i have always said that noone sings this song like miss ross can live but baby...miss yolanda adams tore that song up!!!! my god can that woman sing mmm mmm mmm made diana ross tear god bless you!!

[SEFYH]

I Yolanda had sang a couple more rounds of that chorus, she would have had that entire place shouting like in church! LOL

[Skyvalley7]

@SEFYH Yo for real! If she kept that song going there sure as well would have been a praise break and if I was there I would have started it! Cuz I felt a HALLELUJAH wanting to come out my belly watching this. The last time I even heard this song in a church setting like this was at my home church called the Good Samaritan in Stamford, CT. I was maybe 5 at the time and I remember the choir singing this song during harvest.

@okebaram duh YES!! LOL

@whatigot2say I agree w/sickvocals I wouldn't call this period in her life bittersweet. I would think she is celebrating the barriers she broke down and lives she continues to influence. What's with the insults? SMH

[sickvokals]

@whatigot2say I hear all that. But, you said "bittersweet". That's what I'm questioning. Sounds more "bittersweet" for you than Ross. Just saying

[whatigot2say]

@sickvokals yeh but the oldest son is the best looking of the bunch. He's not into being in the lime light it seems.

[sickvokals]

@whatigot2say It seems Evan does, because he's in the business. But, the oldest boy seems kind of blah. He always seems blah LOL The girls seem very protective over their mom. Especially Chaudney

[whatigot2say]

Respond to this video...  I wonder if her children realized the level of her success before this?

[whatigot2say]

@sickvokals what?? are you saying her career isn't coming to a close? yes she's still touring but she will probably never have another hit record, she already said she probably will never do another film so i'd say that qualifies as her career winding down.

[sickvokals]

@whatigot2say Man, please!

[whatigot2say]

@sickvokals i don't think it's a joke at all, no one is happy about their career coming to a close. even accomplished successes like DR.
