Diana Ross discovered the Jackson 5.



No, Gladys Knight saw the Jackson 5 at an amateur contest, she informed Berry Gordy about them.


Yeah I know but the public still thinks that Diana Ross found them first lol

I have to agree. I find her thin weedy voice incredibly irritating.

And Britney didn't have to deal with racism. Say what you will about Diana but the lady knew how to tell a story via her voice and carried herself with poise and dignity. But get your cheap shots in all you want, if that makes you feel better. shrug

You out your damn mind for comparing Britney Spears to
Diana Ross. Diana Ross sounds better at 60 something than
Britney sounded at 18. Maybe Britney should fuck for tracks
to revive her bs career.
I like Tracee Ellis Ross as an actress but how does she have
more talent for one damn tv show vs her mom who has had a stellar
career in music for more than 30 years.

Comparing Diana to Britney is like comparing Millie Jackson to Nicki Minaj. Honestly.

Bull! no no no! Love her or hate her,you can't deny that Diana Ross has something called "TALENT".In the pre-MTV era,you HAD to have talent to become a star.Comparing Diana Ross to Britney Spears is absurd.

She just has that IT factor going on. And she puts the "D" in Diva, the good and the bad that comes with that title.
I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life.
