What do you think of Diana Ross?

Do you like Diana Ross or do you think she's a Bitch? I happen to like her singing very much. I don't know her Personally. I would be cool to her. What about you like or Bitch?

I Agree with Pulling Off"Lady Sings The Blues".not too Mention Being Good at Being a Stylist.not a Good Technical Vocalist but The Woman is a Stylist&Has Her Own Vibe.She is Something else.also She is a Babe.Still Sexy.

I love Diana Ross.She has had so many great songs throughout the years...


"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"(1971)
"Love Me"(1973?)
"My Mistake (Was To Love You)" with Marvin Gaye (1973)
"Love Hangover"(1976)
"The Boss"(1979)
"Upside Down"(1980)
"I'm Coming Out"(1980)
"Why Do Fools Fall In Love"(1981)
"Mirror,Mirror"(1981)
"Muscles"(1982)
"Missing You"(1984)
"Swept Away"(1984)

And let's not forget all those wonderful 60s songs with The Supremes..."Baby Love","Where Did Our Love Go","Reflections","Someday We'll Be Together","Love Is Here (And Now You're Gone)","I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" (with The Temptations),"Stop!In The Name Of Love" and many many more.

As previously mentioned,she was great in the 1972 film "Lady Sings The Blues",for which she won a Best Actress Oscar nomination.If there is any female artist who truly deserves to be called a "diva",it is Diana Ross.

She would never give the time of day to people that don't suck up to her...She's a rich, coddled, baby...I used to like her, before I grew up, and realized her elitist attitude...No thanks...

Agreed. Diana Ross has a major diva attitude. If you have ever read any of the books about Motown, you'd know about the crappy way Miss Ross has treated people.

D is a blast to go shopping with and never saw her turn away a fan for an autograph. She is finally cleaning up her life and trying to get off the drugs that almost everyone was doing in the day. But she's human like everyone else. She's got great taste and class. Miss going shopping with her though.
sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time.

In many ways,Diana Ross is just like Prince.Both of them are known to be strong,demanding people who know exactly what they want,and have alienated many friends and associates on their way to the top.I know that many people would say that Diana is a "bitch",but I still respect her talent and I love many of her recordings.

I love her recordings and she's no less than a REAL ARTIST.

I don't know about her personal life at all nor Aretha Franklin's, but these ladies have some pretty fucked up personalities.

The too whome I can call REAL DIVAS easily with loving down 3 earth personalities are(Patti-Galdys-Tina)

I know shes a Supreme bitch and a dog to people..but I grew up on Diana and her music..shes the original Diva period. I remember when Janets Control came out, a reviewer (RS?) said of Control,"this is a better record than Diana Ross has put out in 5 years." Diana used to rule yall. Her music cant be denied. At least in "my" neighborhood.
