That voice, that voice, that voice, that voice, that magnificent voice of Diana Ross .... I still melt after all these decades. No, it just means that you're old! If that voice makes you melt in 2017, you've missed a lot. [ you might think about increasing your standards.

Ross' voice sounds terrible. Did she do a sound check? What is wrong with her? This voice doesn't make me melt in 2017. Time to get off the stage!

People pay good money for these shows. Money is not easy to come by for many. They should have thrown every bottle in the house at her!

They threw things at her in Jamaica, but she was able to get off of the stage and into a waiting car before they clocked her good! I keep saying that it is a crime how she is out there taking people's money and putting on piss poor shows! She could do better, but just doesn't give a fuck! She gets her money up front and then sleep walks through her meager 70-80 min. shows!

only DIANA ROSS can sing the SUPREMES song with respect as she does here! 50 years ...she and songs sound great! makes me wanna dance! The "Supreme Idiot". Spent her entire talentless life mooching off the legacy of the original Supremes, and by dissing Ross in interviews and her cruddy books. Apparently she is too stupid to even realize how pitiful she looks to the world.... Mary's vanity is so sad that when her son died, she went on Sally Jessy Raphael less than a month later and complained that she had bought a new dress for her son's funeral and was saddened that no press had arrived to cover the event! Shocking! To discuss disaffection over not being photographed at one's sons funeral underscores her narcissistic personality disorder and vainglory. Two weeks after her son's death she said that good had come out of this tragedy. Diana Ross had called her and she felt that her son would be an angel in heaven and would send her a good man and a recording contract. Vain and Tasteless!

March 1970, the time had come for Diana Ross to make her solo debut. They certainly didn't waste much time at Motown getting things done, did they. In just a couple of months, Berry Gordy and company had already put together a stage show for Diana with new arrangements, new costumes, and new background singers and dancers. Of course, Diana was the center of it all, the pressure on her as always to perform and excel. Then in her "spare time," Berry Gordy had her in the studio with a variety producers and arrangers recording enough material for at least four albums. Of course, out of about fifty songs, she would be fortunate to see even half of them released to the public. One of the tunes she recorded was Laura Nyro's "Stoney End." When Diana's version wasn't issued, producer Richard Perry cut the same song with Barbara Streisand and it became a Top 10 hit. Produced with a Motown beat and soaring female backup vocals, this record would introduce Streisand to whole new generation of young record buyers. It was interesting that Berry was determined to have Diana appeal to Barbara's older, more theater -savvy crowd at the same time that Barbra was trying to crack the very market Diana practically owned! The theatrics were in full swing in Diana's first solo nightclub act, which began a trial run at Monticello's in Framingham, Massachusetts; an eleven-day engagement commencing on 8 March.

I like many stopped buying Diana's records in 1980. The last good album she ever made (Diana -with jeans and t-shirt produced by Nile Rodgers) Tje quality of her voice just wasn't the same after that. Even Nile knew back then that perhaps it wouldn't be bad idea if he synthesized her voice a little, although at that time it didn't need it. IT SURE NEEDS IT NOW HONEY. She sounds absolutely dreadful now. What makes it worse, is her voice went from incredibly golden and fantastic to almost horrible. I still like the independent, headstrong aura about her like what is Madonna-esque, but she won't get any of my money to hear her sing anymore. That's for sure. Yep, I still buy her old records, as do a lot of people, but her new stuff sucks lead. It's terrible. It happens to all singers. Frank Sinatra didn't know when to shut up either. She went from smooth as crystal, accurate pitch, lovely lilt, verve and agility - powerhouse soprano, to ....fishing for a note - pitchy hoarse sounding, off key sometimes on key mess. Those who advocate listening to her sing these days are obviously tone deaf.

I think people would cheer her on. Lena Horne admitted early in her career that she didn't know how to sing but made a determined effort to learn how.

In 1992, many years after she left Motown, she made a statement to Lears magazine that strongly suggested that she did not leave the company a wealthy woman: "I felt very lost and alone. I didn't have much money. I had to go to a bank and borrow to pay my taxes. I thought they had been paid. I kept saying to myself, ' You may not have much money, but you've got your name, Diana Ross. That's what you worked so hard for. That's a starting place." It's difficult to imagine that after all she'd achieved in her life and career, she was by the beginning of the 1980s just at a "starting place" in her life - but if the quote is accurate - and she never disputed it - that certainly seems to be the case. Ross was also concerned with personal power and self awareness as she was with any financial problems she was having at the time. "All of a sudden I felt like, here I was, thirty seven years old, with three children and through a divorce, but not yet able to take full responsibility for my decisions, " she told this author in 1981. " You see, I don't want to have to pick up the phone and call Berry, Motown or anybody else if I want to buy a car. I want to know where my bank accounts are!"

Suxs tht she didn't have control over her money. All the Sups got ripped off. Seems Berry charged everything to their accounts including comped food and drink.
