Diana's tribute is so heartfelt. I love her vocals, she’s so expressive (reminds me of Janet) without the unnecessary wailing that most singers think is soulful.

TBH, the second song is cringe-worthy. Melisma overload. Yikes! ill


That's why I want her to do a cover mushy

Yes, I too would love to hear Janet cover "Missing You," but I want her to sing it just like Ms. Ross, meaning, without layers and layers of simultaneous filler background voices during the verses. Just one strong lead vocal, with some power like in "Again" and "Twenty Fourplay." thumbs up!

I've never dug into Diana's catalog so I don't know but I plan on listening to more of her music. My favorite of hers aside from Missing You is Eaten Alive

Barry Gibb and Michael killed that shit lol

There was but one person who criticized Lady T(ranny)'s ballads, and that was me. Feel absolutely free to single me out on this. lol She tries too hard to prove herself on ballads. She needs somebody to take those wild vocal tangents she goes on. Too, too much. I get it...you're down, Teena. I loved MikeMatronik's response the first time he heard her Portuguese Love, criticizing her pronunciation of the word. lol

SOS - I'm familiar with the tune and know it goes more uptempo in the latter half, but still the first part puts me off.


I take it you never heard of a song entitled Cassanova Brown. If you really want to know the kind of power vocalist Teena really is, listen to THAT track.

Don't try to school me, son. talk to the hand I know and like a good portion of her music.

That's one of my favorite Diana songs, but I'm still going with Teena. I especially love the second half of the song. I can totally understand the criticism of her vocals, though. She's an acquired taste, I guess. lol

Diana's early 1970s albums (Diana Ross, Everything is Everything and Surrender) are her best works IMHO alongside her The Boss and diana albums.
