OH I was waiting for someone to start a Diana Ross thread. She was fantastic, wonderful, … and what a beautiful family. I had all the Supremes records as a kid, starting at about 10 years old! I can’t tell you how many times I played those records! And then in the late 70’s early 80’s in the club! Memories. ~~DD55 | |

Did she upstage/outperform the other artists at the show? | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Of course not, Diana is 73...Her Lifetime segment was the last part of the Ceremony...She was in good voice but she was pitchy in certain parts, she had some issues holding notes and going flat...Diana looked amazing..The unconditional Love her Family has for her sums up her personal Life... | |

I loved it. Her family is beautiful. I liked the one little boy dancing behind her. He didn't have any stage fright. She still looks and sounds fantastic! | |

I missed the show, even though Diana Ross was the only part I wanted to see anyway. So thanks for sharing Hudson. At 73 years fabulous, Diana is still THE BOSS! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

in her prime, one of the greatest and most unique voices of all time...so much sex appeal and femininity in her sultry singing...also a criminally underrated actress too...her performance in "Lady Sings The Blues" is on the short list of the best acting ive ever seen ... she was great in Mahogany too... | |

I actually didn't mind the pitch issues...when I go back to look at clips from her Las Vegas & Live in Central Park concerts...at 73, it's okay for me that she's slowing down and has some Granny moments onstage. She has, in the words of one of her songs, really given us "the best years..." of her life...I have to admit I really enjoyed it: I always love when a Cher or Diana or Tina steps onstage for a true career retrospective that essentially says to all these young, newfangled pop starlets,
" Listen, Heffas...I was one of the original It Girls; I paved the way and helped define what an It Girl was in pop music culture, with chart topping hits, covered nonstop by international high fashion magazines, designers fawning over me, clothing and home lines, licensing deals, duets galore, and I got a a half a century of a music career behind me.."
I loved the clip of her exiting her superbowl halftime concert by helicopter, too. Ross was The Boss before "Boss Bitch" became a thing | |

Co-sign!!! . , . She's under-rated on all accoutns....actress, musician, performer. . . I thought she was a bit sharp on some notes (not flat) but she still did it 100% live which is more than any of today's artists can say. . And she looked amazing! | |
