Diana Ross unveils comeback single, "Thank You"

Terrible. All the speaking throughout it is annoying and the music is forgettable.

Love her, but that sounds boring

bitch, no

She should work with Nile Rodgers again and see if they can create something good.

I love Diana but no,just no. Let it go honey.

Autotune is a godsend.

It’s a gracious idea, but her jabbering throughout is unwelcome.

Simply awful.

Bwahahahahahahahaha.

I love her like I love warm food but this is awful. Her voice is gone.

FYI T-Swift has co-write on a track on the album. Diana's going for broke. Oy.

Pure 💩

How do you folks come to such a judgement so quickly? There isn't enough of the clip for me to make a determination. Her voice sounds fine to me though.

It’s on YouTube

I tell you what, though....

She really shouldn't tweet. She ruins her image;

"I have so much I want to share I am just filled with gratitude , their songs on this album are dedicated to each of you from my heart I guess we have to do a little bit at a time. Love you so much."

Thanks R13. It's easy listening. I think the chorus; "Thank you, thank you, for. Thank you, thank you, for that" could catch on whenever someone here's it.

Will I have to get my record player back out or is it going to be released on cassette, too?

Well, bitch, you ain’t welcome

Thanks, but no thanks.

I’ve heard the whole song. Her voice is shot.

Dear Gladys, everybody forgot you were still around.

[quote] Her voice is shot.

She's 77 years old. Why do people have to be such absolute cunts?

Because who wants to listen to a singer with a shitty voice R20 ? I love Boy george too but he sounds like absolute shit. Are we supposed to praise their shitty songs because of who they were ?

Will it surpass Mary Wilson's total album sales of ten copies?

Who?

[quote]Dear Gladys, everybody forgot you were still around.

I thought she was dead.

From the sound of it she’s trying to win that elusive Grammy, but in the spoken word category.

It's the sentiment, dummies! As bitchy as she is, Ross does have a humble side and with this cut she is telling us how just how much she appreciates the experience as a whole! I mean that's what I'm thinking. Now I'm going to listen to the song.

"And now Arne has gone off and married the big, black mama from the United States." - some high maintenance Norwegian bitch, circa 1 986

[quote]Because who wants to listen to a singer with a shitty voice [R20] ? I love Boy george too but he sounds like absolute shit. Are we supposed to praise their shitty songs because of who they were ?

I do! Ross is much more of an entertainer than a songtress. I respect that fact that she has had such a long career within a BRUTAL industry and is still able to sell out venues, record, etc. A woman. A Black woman who has sustained such longevity is amazing. Name 5 other Black women entertainers who have reached and sustained her level.

I saw her two years ago and it was a wonderful and, entertaining show. It's clear (well, to me anyway) that she loves what she does, she realizes how lucky she has been, and that she knows that her fans/audiences are the major part of her success. At this point in her life I think all she wants to do is sing and solidify her work.

Here's the song

Did Oprah write that?

[quote] Ross does have a humble side

Nothing about this bitch is "humble".

Humility is not one of her qualities.

Flo would be kicking Mary in the cunt bone if she saw her for outing Flo's rape in that shit book to make a couple of bucks.

Jean Terrell couldn't stand her either.

Nice try, Diana. I'm honored that my still-stellar singing has encouraged you to attempt the same.

So... How much money did Mary leave since we're talking about her. We might as well talk about that which is important...

Poor Dionne... She's doing living rooms now.

Her music post-Motown has always been largely underwhelming. I’m always amazed that an artist of her caliber couldn’t get better material, do better DJ remixes etc. I love her, but I think she’s cheap, too controlling, and should have relied more on others to help her stay more relevant like Cher. When I saw her in concert in 2004? —the stage made me feel like she hadn’t upgraded anything in her show since 1979.

These Almighty mixes are good but I don’t think she had anything to do with them.

[quote]She's 77 years old. Why do people have to be such absolute cunts?

Because Miss Ross has been one throughout her entire career. The ONLY reason she was head of the Supremes is because she was giving Gordy the same in his office.

If you didn't grow up with her music, you'll never get her tremendous pull on her fans. Sure the voice is in shreds, she's been singing since the early 1960s. Orders for her new album put her at #5 on Amazon's pop chart. Mariah is a slut; Mary and Flo were second-rate. Why does everyone despise an ambitious woman, particularly an ambitious black woman? Sing out, Diana! Fuck you bitches.

Yes—but Berry was so controlling that after she left Motown she resented anyone telling her what to do career-wise - and made terrible music choices that she could have avoided. I still cringe whenever I hear/see Workin’ Overtime.

The Honest Vocal Coach gives it her seal of approval!

The Vocal Coach looks more like an abduction victim that was just released after many years.

[quote]Will I have to get my record player back out or is it going to be released on cassette, too?

8-track only.

[quote]I still cringe whenever I hear/see Workin’ Overtime.

You're one of few, R37

Horrid song. I need to unhear it since I won't get two minutes of my life back.

[quote]Why does everyone despise an ambitious woman, particularly an ambitious black woman?

Because she is a CUNT with a thin voice.

Like Diana, wish I could look and have my singing even autotuned that nicely at 77, let alone still be successful enough to record an entire in-home-studio album during this past year from hell and release a new single at this point. I think it's catchy and upbeat and happy. Eat me, bitches. :D

She was still touring right until the beginning of the pandemic. She has a very loyal fan base who still flock to see her perform. Not many performers from yesteryear can claim that.

The video reminds me of some beauty contestant's montage: "As I travelled the world, I've learned about people, cultures and things I never dreamed of. It has been a year of changing and growing, and I wouldn't have missed it for anything...".

The song wasn't bad,. But she's no Connie Francis.

We owe it to Ms. Ross, for giving us the greatest piece of 80s electronic pop ever.

Diane got deeper.

If she’s 80 years old, why does she look 30 in the album art @ r28?

She works that body, r50

Her fans are boomer gay men and fraus who want to relive their youth but they forgot it is too late.

[quote]Why does everyone despise an ambitious woman, particularly an ambitious black woman?

The very few who despise her are mostly these Black girls here (think LSA) who are jealous of Ross, her image, and her success. They want everyone to like... rather LOVE, that piemaking heifer that screams as she rolls her fat ass all over the stage floor. That's "saaaaaangin'"

Then you have those that want to protect and promote the backup singing girls because... well, I don't know... maybe they identify with them? Anyway, instead of working hard and charting their own paths, those girls were too busy drinking and fucking while Ross worked and worked hard. They'll say she only got to where she is because she fucked Berry Gordy. Well, I say, at least she fucked the right one and it paid off!

Finally, you have those who are jealous of the Ross children. Miss Ross has had little to no issues with any her children. They make their own money and don't have to rely upon the success of their mother unlike the children of these other messes (and that would include Aretha Franklin too) that live on the success of their famous mother and/or father.

Terrible song. Yokes. This is her “comeback”?? Wow.

The song is okay, and the messaging behind it are endearing!

What’s disturbing to me are the bitter and petty responses on this thread.

I honestly think that she may have a hit here. I've listened to the song about 8 times now and it is taking me to good place. Work with me here;

I can envision this song playing as I'm driving to work on a sunny, very clear blue-sky morning, and no traffic. Everything is going right in life ie relationship, work, no stress, and then this song. I like it. It's very catchy. It sort of reminds me (in a strange kind of way) of that song "Come On Get Happy". It works. Wouldn't it be something if Ross actually had another hit at this time in her career and at her age?

It would be great. Cher is also due for a new hit.

I'm a bit disappointed by her tweet, to be honest. I was hoping for more commas randomly placed all over the sentence, like in her tweet following Mary!'s death.

This song will not go anywhere nor will it catch on. Terrible song.

[quote]This song will not go anywhere nor will it catch on. Terrible song.

I don't know about that, R61. This young man (who has never heard a complete Diana Ross album) really liked the song.

Love her

Heard it. Had no reaction.

I grew up listening to Diana Ross as a child and the only song I liked was that song upside down and besides that I find most of her song horrid. I used to make fun of her song as a child with my mom because it was cheesy. This new song is horrid and she should just pack it in. The only people excited about this new song are gays and middle aged white fraus.

It was a stupid decision to intercut the bland song with clips of her talking decades ago.

The younger, higher speaking voice only serves to underscore how deep and bad her current singing voice is.

Another flop from The Boss

I for one would love to see Ms. Ross have one more top 10 hit before she goes to that great recording studio or disco in the sky.

It's a shame she's only released two new albums in the last twenty one years. But I think she got tired of the grind, and in the Us, busting her ass off and not getting much in return.

Her return to Motown was a disaster. Working Overtime was poorly received for good reason, but both Force Behind the Power and Take Me Higher were excellent returns to form that the label completely botched up promoting.

By contrast, in Europe she was having some of her biggest success ever during these years. Force in particular was a monster hit in the UK, giving her five top forty hits. And in Japan she charted one of the biggest selling songs of all time with If We Hold on Together.

Well, R69... her career isn't so much different from many other of the musical artists in today's current music industry --especially those in her age range. No one really buys music anymore. It's all captured for free on the internet. I mean... how many record labels are there now? Record contracts are few and offered to even fewer. One of the only ways left for a musical act to make money is to tour. Ross has been extremely successful in that regard. She makes $250K/week!

Her return to Motown was a disaster? Not financially! She made out BIG time as one of the major shareholders when the label was sold to Universal (I think that's who bought it) Anyway, to have an album produced today by anyone means that those sales have to be guaranteed. There is no room for slippage or mistakes. That's why many artists have gone independent (they really had no choice) or are in record contracts of where there is very minimal risks to the record label.

R58 were you high when you posted that response?

It’s bland and unmemorable. No one outside of her fans want this.

[quote][R58] were you high when you posted that response?

NOT. AT. ALL, R71. The art and craftsmanship of a good song and lyric is to tell a story and/or take you to another place all within 3 minutes. For me, this Ross' song does just that. Just listen to the lyrics and then the hook. It's a very well crafted song. Just to give you another example of of my favorite songs that takes me away is "Tenderly"

"The evening breeze caress the trees, tenderly

The trembling trees embrace the breeze, tenderly

Then you and I came wandering by

And lost in a sigh were we

The shore was kissed by sea and mist, tenderly

I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside

You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly"

One can imagine themselves in that setting and consciously/unconsciously observing (taking in) such a moment. This new Ross song takes me to a place of where I am thankful for where I am and the moment that I am in. So! I think it works.

As a trans person I really don’t see my journey reflected in this song so I can’t really relate to it.

[Quote] By contrast, in Europe she was having some of her biggest success ever during these years.

The crappiest songs become hits in Europe. That’s why they’re called Euro-trash

I still listen to Stolen Moments. Musicians are top notch.

R74 = trollin trollin trollin

....

It's not bad but it needs a remix - maybe with Lil Dix or Lil Tits or whoever Lil is hot right now.

Lol r79!

[quote]Ross is much more of an entertainer than a songtress.

Not really. I saw her in concert about a decade ago and all she did was walk back and for the across the stage. No dancing at all and sand the same old tired songs she always does.

I want you to help me get my old voice back.

Damn, Billy Dee was fine back then, I'm sure he still is.

Diana Ross comeback reality single “Fuck You”. She is singing this new track exclusively to all of her living fans.

Mahogany really was that bad, wasn't it? Amazing that it has such a following.

[quote]r84 Diana Ross comeback reality single “Fuck You”. She is singing this new track exclusively to all of her living fans.

It’s been done.

MISS Ross is welcome to do a cover version, of course.

Thank you, NEXT!

Why don't these artists understand that we want uptempo pop songs? Something to bop along to when you're stuck in traffic. I don't care if you're sad!

[quote]I saw her in concert about a decade ago and all she did was walk back and for the across the stage. No dancing at all

LIAR!

I'm sure she changed her dress at least 3 times!!!!

Sweeite, the guy in R62's link is A. lying if he says he hasn't heard an entire album and B. Would cream herself to Ross queefing and farting to Yakkity Sax.

Yep, R78. Sassy could sing that song! But, for me, the song belongs to Nat King Cole. However, and I mean no disrespect to the daddy, Natalie Cole's rendition is STUNNING! The clip below is her singing it live. I really like this BUT I really LOVED her studio version of it! Bottom line, it's just a beautiful song.

R58 also thinks Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, and Kate Smith will be this year's biggest streaming successes.

[quote]Why don't these artists understand that we want uptempo pop songs? Something to bop along to when you're stuck in traffic.

Thank you! Nobody wants dreary, sappy shit - especially these days.

Sparkle, singers, SPARKLE!

MMPH... Here ya go, R82. Here's your heifer that makes you happy...

And, "they" wonder why "they" hate us...

I thought it was sad that you needed another "comeback" but, Sister Diane, dear, one fucking cut doth not a comeback make.

And what you've done with your "video" is more properly called a "novelty." It brought this to mind.

But good luck, Diane! And you know how much I mean that.

R32, don't even try. For one big fat obvious reason.

[quote] Nobody wants dreary, sappy shit.

Anyone with even a minimal knowledge of pop, soul or R&B music of the last 50 years can appreciate Miss Ross' accomplishments. Welcome to my blocked list.

R98 welcome to other people having different opinions on something. Oh and welcome to my block list too. Putz .

R98 has her asshole clenched.

Diana is wonderful but I’m not a stan. Appreciating an honest observations about an artist’s music and career doesn’t make you a hater or a troll.

The theme to the future Golden Girls reboot!

Diana Ross (born March 26, 1944), 77, Detroit, Michigan; is an American singer, songwriter and actress from Detroit. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group the Supremes, who became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in US history, with a total of twelve number-one hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100, including, "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", and "Love Child".

According to Ross, her mother actually named her "Diane," but, a clerical error resulted in her name being recorded as "Diana" on her birth certificate. She was listed as "Diane" during the first Supremes records, and she introduced herself as "Diane" until early in the group's heyday. Her friends and family still call her "Diane."

The merch has dropped.

Mary Wilson (March 6, 1944 – February 8, 2021), 76, born in Greenville, Mississippi.

Comeback?

Diane ain't been nowhere.

She still the same backstabbing talentless bitch she always been.

Diane invented the casket dance.

A friend of my dad’s from Detroit said he’d see them walking together in the morning (most likely to Motown) and they weren’t that remarkable. He was astonished how these average neighborhood girls became glamorous international superstars.

[quote]I can envision this song playing as I'm driving to work on a sunny, very clear blue-sky morning, and no traffic. Everything is going right in life ie relationship, work, no stress, and then this song.

Makes you drive off a cliff.

[quote]Her friends and family still call her "Diane."

But her closet friends call her WHORE.

No one is ever going to get along.

You must call her Miss Ross and address her only in the third person.

It’s a lovely song and sentiment.

But the song is pretty formulaic and derivative — no modern spin.

It borrows A LOT from Marvin Gaye’s “You’re All I Need to Get By.”

At least it has more soul than today’s music.

I thought Diane had done a cover of a Boyz II Men smash hit from the 90s.

This was the last song I liked if hers. Good tune.

Will Diane be doing another free concert in Central Park? She could easily fill up Central Perk considering the size of her fan base.

Thank you OP for posting.

It’s a YES from me!

She tries to kill me several times a year. Every year.

Sounds like the backing tune for an advert featuring something that's ethically sourced.

Appreciation ❤

[Quote] It borrows A LOT from Marvin Gaye’s “You’re All I Need to Get By.”

No, it diesn't.

We’ve all lost so much this past year. What a magnificent anthem from Miss Ross! Now is the time to heal and give thanks. Here’s to re-emerging back into life triumphant . Through all of life’s ebb and flow we’ve always had Miss Ross urging us forward with her music and it’s unfaltering message of love! Thank you darling girl.

I'm LOVING this more & more with each and every play - it's on constant repeat ha. Seriously, I LOVE it. The album is going to be AMAZING! xx

The message in this song is so needed in the world today. Thank You, Ms. Ross for this inspiration. May positive vibes be spread as a result of this song.

I finally have a song to express my feelings for my fiancé..I let him know this is are wedding song.. Thank you, Miss Ross..

Thank you, Ms. Ross for being the Boss and turning my world Upside Down with joy and leaving me with a Love Hangover for your music and your wonderful voice so high that Ain't no mountain high enough can keep me from you. I'm coming out with joy this month and celebrating my pride

R126 You should be livin' in shame after posting that.

Let's not talk about children, R123. What is Mary's oldest daughter's name? Turkey? Ya know... the fat... "big gir..." The curvy one.

I can't get excited about her songs that don't talk about Mama dying while making homemade jam.

I prefer this comeback

Who was it that told Mae West that she could sing?

[quote]Who was it that told Mae West that she could sing?

She sounds fine to me.

"Light the CAN-DOLLS, Get the ICE ... OUT"

R126, we have only this to say.

Mary! (not Wilson)

As a Boris person, I’m always putting false and annoying things into the mouths of trans persons, then cackling hysterically at how funny I think I am.

Poor Mary had more men in her pants than Calvin Klein and still couldn't get anywhere.

F&F Boris @ r91 for more homophobic slurs.

Don't look Diane in the eye, or she won't be saying 'Thank you.'

SHIT! IIIIIII looked Diane in the eye and IIIIIIIII turned to stone!

I can’t trust the opinion of someone who named their daughter Chudney. And she sho’ do look like Mr Gordy!

Naw gurl, dat Rhonda. Keep up!

This song is so *timely*. Thank you Ms Ross for this desperately needed dose of positivity and joy!

I adore Diana Ross but totally admit she's an anachronism at this point

[quote]R124 I’m okay, you’re okay

As long as you call me MISS Ross ! !

Stephanie Mills dropped new music too. I like it. It's very inspirational.

Whoever styled her did a GREAT job! Also, I like the video story for the song. Very nice!

I love Miss Mills!

Diana's new album will include a song of healing: "(If You Ever Go to Hell) Tell Mary I Forgive Her"

Were Diane's second and third daughters also fathered by Berry? Did her first husband not mind being cuckolded? And what was with gurlfren sleeping with and making babies with a black man but marrying only white guys? Was Di-ane hopin she would become white by association?

R144 I love Miss Mills but the back up and arrangement on this song are pure shit. That great voice needs to be freed from crappy arrangements.

Thanks for that Stephanie Mills song! She’s awesome!

Poor R142 doesn't know the definition of "anachronism," nor how to differentiate between the clock in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" and a superannuated, manipulative ego-nut unwilling to accept her obsolescence.

There is not excuse for that.

That Stephanie Mills song looks/sounds like an old PSA for the NAACP. Terrible production all around. Dionne stood a little taller after that.

Sorry UNCF not NAACP

Thank You (Diana Ross album)

Thank You is the upcoming twenty-fifth studio album by American singer Diana Ross, scheduled to be released through Decca Records on September 10, 2021. It marks Ross' first studio album since 2006's I Love You, and first original material since 1999's Every Day Is a New Day. The album was written during COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns in 2020 and recorded in Ross's home studio. Ross co-wrote all 13 tracks, and worked with songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff, as well as Jimmy Napes, Tayla Parx and Spike Stent. The title track was issued as the lead single on June 17, 2021. Ross will tour the UK in support of the album in 2022.

Translation: Another vanity project with three men helping her do whatever she wants musically since Miss Ross is paying the cost to be “The Boss”. Another album of mediocre pop songs to add to the collection. 😑

I'm confused by your comments, R155. Why such animosity towards Ross? At her age, and given her career, hasn't she earned the right to have a vanity project and CONTROL it the way that she sees fit? Either the album will sell or it won't. But, doesn't she too have a right to experiment, use her knowledge, and produce a product that she wants and is happy with, like other artists? What is it that you want? Or, what is it that is REALLY pissing you off so much?

The song titles sound like insipid sound bytes mouthed by contestants in the Miss World pageant. Miss Ross forgot to have a song called "All I Want Is World Peace."

R155 Yeah, those song titles sound terrible and cheesy. And if the first single is usually the “best” song from an album, I hate to think what the rest will sound like.

If you read her Twitter account and/or her autobiography Secrets of a Sparrow, those song titles won't come as a complete surprise.

She should have recorded a Michael Jackson tribute song called "Love Theme for My Chiwdwen."

Exactly, R159! This is the place where she is in her life right now and what she feels motivates her. No "Real Housewives" drama here! And, what is wrong with wanting world peace, R157?

Remember when she used to be daring and kept up with the times? She’s been stuck in this sappy shit for the past 30 years. Just like her hair.

Her autobiography is on YouTube. I could only listen to a few seconds. Prose aside, the use of echo/reverb is a choice.

[quote]She’s been stuck in this sappy shit for the past 30 years. Just like her hair.

And, along with all of that you're still here too, R162. Enraptured and fascinated by every breath she takes and every shit she makes. A fan, is still a fan, whether good or bad. You're talking about her and you know who she is. You take the bitter with the sweet.

Musical sappy dreck. I wish she didn’t think we were all Diana Ross stans. Is there a song called Live, Love, Laugh?

It’s *not* easy to get Jack Antonoff’s time

R164 = Cilantro Ross (or is it Condiment?), trying to keep Mama happy and ensure herself a mention in the will because Lord knows she doesn't have a proper job.

R167... girl, don't be so desperate in trying to look for friends and/or trying to keep yourself relevant when you can't. Your trying to create controversy on a thread about Miss Ross ain't gonna work!

Listen up, honey lamb... Mary Wilson is dead and your beloved heifer is somewhere stuffing her face with sweet potato pies because she sure isn't doing it on the stage or in any recording studios. Gladys... well... it's nice to hear that she is still on this side because I honestly thought that she had left here long before that "pain in the ass" Mary did. If you're one of Dionne's girls... do you know if she cleans the living rooms while she performs? I might be interested in her if that's part of her performance.

Click on the link below and go over to that thread to commiserate with your contemporary, doll...

Anyway, I'm sure Chudney Ross is financially set. Besides the Ross money her daddy is quite well off too. She's good.

OH! And, here's the little hovel where Chudney Ross stores her condiments.

I'm impressed by Diana's daughter with Gordy and her keeping things black and proud. Diana still refers to blacks as Afro Americans "

How old is Rhonda's husband...?

Tracee's father is family?

R172 I’ve kind of wondered that too. In most of his recent pictures, he looks….

He also never remarried.

Silber stein has got 50 million bux. Rodney Kendrick is 61/Rhonda is 50 this year.

He was kinda hot back in the day.

Ok, scratch that.

Knowing who someone is isn’t the same as being “a fan,” is it?

Woman's got the money and ability to record a new album entirely in her own home studio, has her first single from it released by an established label, and says she plans to tour in Europe in support of it in 2022, and she's basically still doing all this unbelievably approaching age 80? Doesn't sound bad to me, seems pretty incredible actually. More luck and kudos to her.

Hi my friends, I have finally been able to put my website up www(dot)dianaross(dot)com and we're still making it better. I want to hear what you think of it

"They all owe a debt of gratitude to Ross, whose own daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, has also sported the look time and again, looking as glam as her mom on each occasion. With Diana Ross recently announcing her first album in 15 years, set for release in September, here's hoping she delivers more jumpsuit magic as she returns to the stage. Minus the rain, that is."

Does this lazy bitch sing entire songs at her concert or does she still perform only a few lines and then ask the audience to sing along?

I believe I read somewhere that many of the early Motown artists were trained to “dialogue” with the audience like that during songs. I’ve listened to Marvin Gaye in live recordings do the same thing. I think Diana does it too much, IMO, and it comes across very disingenuous.

Stupid old little talent cunt flap

If only she had a better voice. But let's give it to her. She made the most of her reedy pipes.

There's texture to her voice, though. She's no Janet or Jody Watley, thankfully.

It’s horrible.

She would have been better off reuniting with Nile Rodgers.

After "Workin' Overtime"? Hardly. Anyway, Miss Ross is careful with her coins. There's a reason she never worked with Jam & Lewis, Babyface etc. She had early talks with Mark Ronson for this album. But she chose the cheaper options.

R195 Workin’ Overtime was actually a good album - she was just too damn old for New Jack Swing. Her mom jeans in the Workin’ Overtime video didn’t help either.

[Quote] Workin’ Overtime was actually a good album

Oh, that explains why you want her to work with Nile Rodgers again.

R197 That and he produced her bestselling album, the 1980 album “diana.”

[Quote] and he produced her bestselling album, the 1980 album “diana.”

But her produced flop "Workin' Overtime"... which was my initial point. The last Chic album wasn't so hot either.

What a narcissist. Barf.

[quote] With Diana Ross recently announcing her first album in 15 years, set for release in September, here's hoping she delivers more jumpsuit magic as she returns to the stage

Jesus, how much did Diana pay to have this gushing drivel written about her? The bitch can barely sing these days and tries to get away with asking the audience to "sing" three quarters of every song. And no one wants to see some 80-year-old great-grandma in a jumpsuit, shaking her droopy tits and shoving her pussy in everyone's faces.

R199 Oh, honey. If you thought that album was a flop, wait until this is released!

Sales are in the toilet anyway. She'll get a UK Top 10 and that will be the album's "hit" status even if it means 10 or 15k.

R203 OK we get it Diana stan.

You're the one who thinks "Workin' Overtime" is good, dear.

Wait until I turn 80 and go on tour to perform the songs on my newest album. I may even toss in a re-arranged hit or two, along with Candy Shop.

Diana is an inspiration.

The songwriter who wrote the sappy piece of shit "If We Hold On Together" should have been barred immediately from getting any more songs published. If you are going to write schmaltzy dreck at least be familiar with the basic rules of grammar. The "For You And I..." line alone qualifies them for a public flogging.

@R188; Sing with me BITCH! And, if you won't there are hundreds of thousands who will.

Dirty Diana!

R188, I'm still waiting...

Diana Ross, 'Thank You' (Nov. 5)

Recorded in her home studio, the 13 tracks on Ross’ 25th studio album – and first since 2006’s “I Love You” album – are designed to instigate joy. The eternally regal vocalist worked with producer Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, Lorde) as well as songwriters Jimmy Napes (Sam Smith) and Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran) to create an “inclusive musical message of love and togetherness.” The two singles released so far – the title track and the mirror ball throbber “If the World Just Danced” – indicate Ross’ goal of sparking happiness will be achieved. – Ruggieri

Diana Ross always had very uneven taste. Also she never really goes away she makes music very now and then.

Hideous treatment of her voice on this.

^MMPH... I didn't like that. Maybe it'll work in Europe.

This remix is pretty good and much better than the original.

Diana Ross, the original Queen of FFT

R217 Its better but now its kind of creepy like she's dying tomorrow or something. Bleating a speeded up thank you through an entire song is weird.

I liked that R217. But, I liked the original too.

She sounds fine and that song could be good, but the talking is annoying and makes zero sense.

Idiot @ R6, Diana Ross doesn't need autotune.

I don't know if I'm asking this correctly but I'll ask it anyway; When did you know that Diana Ross could really sing?

For me, it was two specific songs; 1) The Boss and 2) She did some special of where she sang gospel (99 1/2 Just Won't Do) With "The Boss" she hit notes that I never thought prior that she could hit and with the gospel song I was surprised (and then learned more about) her church/gospel roots.

All I know is if I and out at a store or other public place and if Love Hangover, I'm Coming Out, or Upside Down are played as part of the music rotation I unconsciously start dancing and my nipples get hard !!! My mind goes back to dancing in 1980 at the Parliament House in Orlando and the Copa in Ft Lauderdale . I was really hot stud back then !!!

^ Golly!

OUT now!

The remixes of the singles are sufficient.

The montage of clips in the video are interesting, she certainly had a lot of grand diva style over the years. She's the rare woman who (imo) looked far better in her 50s and 60s, once she put on a few elder pounds and finally got a curvy figure. She looked her best in those years, filling out her couture gowns.

Slay!

Miss Ross sang ‘Thank You’ at the Queen’s Jubilee concert! [2nd song]

Why did she lipsync "Chain Reaction"?

^ So many backup singers though, it’s like a whole village of ‘em

Evan Ross is unknown in the UK. Rather odd to have him lead Diana out.
