[ she was never friends with Mary. Their dreams were never in synch as Ross wanted it all for herself. She is greedy and self centered. Seek help Ross. Diane has always been jealous of Mary's beauty. Just look at how gorgeous Mary Wilson is in the picture above compare to Diana Ross. No contest!Too bad it wasn't Mary, Flo and a normal person.

And how many other Motown groups (or for other labels at the time) would have gotten 9 chances to get a hit?
None, unless you happen to be Diane Ross from the projects and are sleeping with the owner of the label. Some folks get the breaks...

Yeah that's right. People like to say that their relationship did not begin until sometime in 1965,but they were fucking around a lot earlier than that! According to Diane she became his secretary during their No Hits Supremes days! She said she had to do "something" to remind him (Berry Gordy) that they (The Supremes) were still there at Motown!

Have any of you heard the early Diana Ross led songs??? She was no great singer; she indeed has developed over the years and that's what it takes, time to develop! Mary could have had she not been such a party girl and Florence indeed had the pipes to further develop; songs are written with a particular voice in mind, that's why the Marvelettes were able to change lead singers, the songs went from Gladys to Wanda (who at the time wasn't a lead singer) but the songs were written for her voice and boy did they soar. Comparing Mary to Diana isn't fair nor is it fair to compare Jean to Diana; all distinct voices! I would suggest that Mary leave the Ross led songs in the past and further develop her own style; she does have one and ballads appear to be her forte

Period. She has an audience today only because she was a Supreme, aka Diana Ross backup singer

Period. She has an audience today only because she was a Supreme, aka Diana Ross backup singer Who would have thought that way back in 1984 when Diana Ross had her last mild hit "Missing You" that she would never, ever, ever have another hit record? She's recorded a lot since 1984, but no hits. Evidently her voice and "talent" wasn't all that to begin with. Maybe, just maybe now it was really the producers and the songs written specifically for her is where the true magic lied. Diana Ross was a marginal talent that could not survive without a lot of heavy production. She could not possibly stand toe to toe with a Mary Wilson today and sing. She would get blown off of the stage.

She would get blown off of the stage. 1. Why Do Fools Fall In Love went platinum because Endless Love was advertised as being included on the album. It was not the hit version but an inferior solo vocal by Ross.
2. Silk Electric was an album that was despised by even hardcore Ross fans, but sold because of the single. However, it was clear that the Diana Ross of the Boss and Diana did not exist anymore.
3. Ross used the Warhol print on Silk Electric that made her look like a white woman.Ross thanking Warhol for making her transition to a white woman complete.

She did look like a white woman on that album cover. This was even before all of the skin bleaching. I remember the song "Muscles" being played a lot on radio the month it was released. None of her songs from the 80s are ever played now.

She is too fat for the gowns she wears and the Dynasty/Dallas look went out in the early 80s. Can't she afford a makeover? My brother went to her show. He said it was 60 minutes long and the only people in the audience were draq queens, geriatric ones at that.

Geriatric Drag Queens? So Marv-Hector-DetroitLIES313 is still wheeling out his old illegal Cuban Ho of a boyfriend to Diana Ross concerts. They both say they are HUGE Margie Winslop fans but neither sissy has seen Aunt Mary on the chicken wing curcuit in years. Miss Diana Ross recipient of the nations highest civilian THE PRESIDENTIAL FREEDOM MEDAL? Miss Mindy Wilson Food Stamp Recipient of 2016. Aunty Mary fucked herself out of 4 million bucks and had been begging Diana for a reunion ever since. Diana is still a very wealthy woman and Mary has a Mexican chin implant and a 40olb heifer of a daughter to feed and a son that's been in and out of jail always looking for bail money. Old Hector and his Havana fairy TWTR4EVER still try and dance around their nasty house to Diana's hit Muscles.

Diana Ross belts out hits at Astros' Gala
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com | @alysonfooter | January 21st, 2017HOUSTON -- Coming up in 2017, the Astros have a Spring Training ballpark to christen, a Hall of Famer to celebrate and a pennant to chase. But first, they had to wrap up the offseason, and they did so with a bang on Friday at Minute Maid Park, thanks in large part to a superstar diva, who brought with her an extensive library of legendary hits.
The Astros second annual "Diamond Dreams Gala" featured the supremely talented Diana Ross, who belted out nearly 20 of the greatest hits that defined her legendary career, first as a member of the Supremes in the 1960s and then as a solo artist in the decades that followed.
"She puts on a great show," said Twila Carter, executive director of community relations and the Astros Foundation. "It's great to have her here and have a really nice casual evening of good entertainment, good food and good fans."
Performing on a stage in center field, Ross opened her show with "I'm Coming Out" and from there delighted the crowd of more than 800 revelers with hit after hit, including "My World Is Empty Without You," "Baby Love," "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "Can't Hurry Love."
Proceeds from the evening benefited the Astros Foundations and New Hope Housing, an organization combatting homelessness by providing housing and support services for those in need.
New Hope is one of several charitable endeavors the Astros have incorporated into their community efforts since Jim Crane purchased the club five years ago.
"We really worked hard with the foundation," Crane said. "The foundation, when we started about five years ago, really didn't have a lot of funds in it. So we really worked hard to get a lot of great sponsors and raise some money so we can give back to the community."
With a fundraising goal of $1 million, the Diamond Dreams gala is the Astros' biggest community event of the year. And they back it up with plenty of star power to satisfy several hundred well-heeled patrons. Last year, James Taylor performed at the inaugural event; with Ross bringing down the house at Friday's soiree, it's hard to imagine how the Astros can possibly top this next year.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, enthusiastically humming a few bars Ross's songs as he opened his remarks to reporters, expressed his appreciation for the musical icon's wide-ranging fanbase.
"She is a musical icon and expands several generations," he said. "She still appeals to a younger audience and a very diverse audience. She's in the most diverse city in America, and she appeals to a very diverse audience. And we have her in this city -- how cool is that? I'm Houston proud."
Wearing a sparkly black sequined dress and tossing her signature thick mane of hair, Ross wowed the crowd with "Love Child," "Touch Me in the Morning," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," the theme song from her starring role in "Mahogany" and another song from a film she made famous -- "Ease on Down the Road" from The Wiz.
Ross concluded the show with "I Will Survive," a timeless song that was first made famous by Gloria Gaynor in the 1970s.
Most of the current Astros team, plus several players from years past, attended the gala. Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman were among the nearly two dozen current players in attendance, while Brandon Backe, Craig Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Jimmy Wynn, Art Howe and Enos Cabell highlighted a long list of former Astros who appeared at the event.
Earlier in the evening, a few Astros players -- all born in the late 1980s to mid-1990s -- admitted they weren't all that familiar with Ross' music. Collin McHugh couldn't necessarily name any of Ross' songs, but he was able to appreciate her legendary status as a Motown superstar.
"I am excited to see her," he said. "She is a legend, so it should be a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure my mom is so jealous right now."
