I'd love to see the UNEDITED version that was a wild moment. Poor ol' Mary and Cindy seems outta place, as usual.

Boy, I can't hate on Diane the boss no matter how I tried.

That brings back memories for me at least half of those on the stage have died. I can't believe that was 23 yrs ago, it seems like yesterday. And has for the infamous pushing incident they obviously edited out.

REFRESH MY MEMORY, WHO'S PUSHING WHO?

Diana Vs Mary

Harlepolis said:

DAMN, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. SEE WHAT 23 YEARS CAN DO TO YOUR MIND

But lets face it Diana Ross is always pushing peeps out of the way. One of the most blatant incidence was when she performing with the J5 and she practically shove the 12 yr old Michael to the background so she could hog up the limelight.

Great to see this, thanks

Notice her tounge (!)? She wasn`t feeling so well that night, and had been eating too many cuogh drops, which left her tounge with a strange colour...

Appearently, there was a lot of drama backstage, several other motown artists encouraged Mary Wilson to upstage Ross, Richard Pryor even told Wilson to step on Ross` fur when she got on stage.

Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong sang very softy during the soundcheck when then microphone level was being adjusted. SO, at the actual performance, their microphones would be adjusted louder than Ross`....

Madonna has NOTHING on Diana, lmao.

Check out the Master himself from the same show; so effortless, smooth and classy.

Notice her facial expression @ the ending credit where she was standing beside Marvin Gaye? Priceless

Motown acts all went to stage starting with Smokey Robinson as an attempt to overshadow the pushing incident which was edited RIGHT prior to Smokey's appearence.

Can you imagine locking these 2 in a room together? Diana would emerge with her hair in place, perfect makeup and a bunch of blonde hairs in her mouth and there would be what remained of Madonna on the floor

Harlepolis said:

I`m actually suprised she had the nerve to do it, when she knew it was being filmed....

VoicesCarry said:

Diane was pretty candid when a UK TV reporter asked her about Madge.

She was like "My children approached her and she wasn't a nice person. She should be reliefed it wasn't me who approached her, she would've gotton a peace of mind instead of a autograph request".

Somebody REEEAALLY can't cop well with rejection

VoicesCarry said:

in any way...

Madonna`s talents can be summed up in this

This thread is now a Madonna thread.

Harlepolis said:

Boy George recently called Madonna "the vilest person (he's) ever met".

As for Miss Ross - her "Diana" album is an absolute masterpiece ... even if it is basically a Chic album with her vocals on it.

Shapeshifter said:

I won`t argue with that...

when they did the german translation overdub, why'd they use a friggin man's voice for diana?

and where's the push, i didn't see it...

It edited.

TonyVanDam said:

they should've left it in.

TonyVanDam said:

She did write "Dreamgirls" afterwards

whatsgoingon said:

Seeing this again made me cry. Almost all of the truly great ones are gone. There was more talent on that stage than this week's entire Billboard Hot 200 combined.

I didn't even see the pushing occur in that clip?



I did see a stage full of royalty.

And Marvin looking gorgeous in a pink suit.

performing your namesake!

TonyVanDam said:

I don't get where it could have happened, Diana hugged in both girls for a couple lines then slowly un-hugged.

TonyVanDam said:

1. Nothing happened, looks like.

2. Hey good point. Rick was still on Motown at the time wasn't he? Wasn't this 1983?
