Diana's engagement at City Center starts tonight! I'll be on the lookout for reviews, YT posts, etc. and post what I find. I saw Aretha at City Center during the 'United Together' era and loved the theatre; it will be great for Diana and her fans -

Absolutely - the genuine love for Diana and the joy per performances spread is, as you say, heartwarming! A talent for the ages, Our Miss Ross is. |

This is so, sad. Aretha Franklin was scheduled to play Radio City Music Fall last fall but had to cancel due to medical problems. Miss Ross is not a big enough star to play Radio City Music Hall. What is the difference? The Queen of Soul has enough fans to fill the hall for the night, whereas Miss Ross has to have the same people go to the show for all three nights. I cannot believe how far Diana Ross has dropped. Thanks to Whoopi for supporting a sister. Poor thing, she thinks Miss Ross has been gone for ten years, when Miss Ross has been slaving for 10 years, playing every gin mill dive in the US to pay the rent. |

Ross does good business in NYC, CA, and Nevada. The problem is that Ross is good for the tribe giving her repeated business but can no longer attract one large crowd. This is very sad because this venue would have been beneath Ross in the 90s.
Hey, I assume Bluebrock was there. Any pics?
Roberta75 did you attend as a man or a woman? LOL

It's official - the first three nights were completely sold out! I honestly believe it's because she is enjoying herself onstage. She truly seemed to be having as much fun as the audience. Her voice is in good shape, she's never abused it or diminished it by oversinging as some singers have. But, we were having a great time because she was having a great time. It showed in her interaction with her band and singers. Also, she is the first singer I've seen who had lights come up on the audience at the end of every number. She would point up to people in the Mezzanine and balcony, and wave at people. She said "You don't know this but while you're watching me, I'm watching you. I can see everybody. " |

"The Supremes were hot stuff back in the day and they are still hot stuff, together and apart. It's so great to know that some of the legends of Motown are still doing it as well as they are and that they are being as well received as they are. And the love for Diana Ross in this clip is the result of decades of music magic. The woman is phenomenal. "
Agreed
It is indeed sad and weird. I've managed to bypass negative comments by adding them to my 'ignore' list. Anyhoo - and a great (indeed, historic!) career Diana Ross has and continues to have, as currently proven by the excitement over the release of the 'A' Go-Go' album and the sellout crowds at Manhattan's City Center! |

It's official - the first three nights were completely sold out! The shows were never sold out. Tickets were available for every show. I checked the website. |

As small and old as that place is, it should have sold out weeks ago! There are enough freaks in the Tri-State area to have made it a long standing engagement for "Diana, Queen of the Freaks!" LOL! Normal people do not attend her shows because most think she is dead or retired. The shows were never sold out. Tickets were available for every show. I checked the website. |
