Diana Ross

Is she a gay icon?

Good music?

Married a white man, drug addict, alcoholic, and a terrible actress.

Yet she was THE African American singer of the 1970's.

Did OP step out of a time machine from 1952 with the biracial marriage anxiety, or is OP just a Klan Granny?

Stop with all the praise!

What the fuck do you think, she slapped a policeman and said, don't you know who I am?

She was good in LADY SINGS THE BLUES. Terrible in everything else. She can marry as many white men as she wants. Doesn’t bother me. The shadiness, however, is another thing. Too many people have experienced this with her for it to be merely gossip. Like JLo, she stepped on a lot of people on her way up.

She’s in a glass house with flop albums

Hardcore drug addict or just a dabbler? Alcoholic or social drinker?

Who in showbiz hasn't spent some time drugging and with John Barleycorn?

R3, wasn't it Zsa Zsa who slapped the cop? Or is this common diva behavior and they both did it?

Here's Diana Ross performing Saturday night at some pre Mardi Gras party/concert at the New Orleans Superdome. Not many people seem to be paying attention to her show.

You're right, R10, it was Zsa Zsa. Miss Ross slapped a customs officer.

She has to be the most successful female entertainer ever. TWELVE number one hits with her as lead singer of the Supremes. FIVE number one solo songs. A duet with Lionel Richie that spent nine weeks in the number one spot. An Oscar nomination as Best Actress on her first try. Unbelievable and unrivaled.

THE African American singer of the 70s?! I think the FUCK not!

Did OP totally forget about Chaka Khan and Donna Summer?

Diana Ross did slap one of the Temptations while rehearsing the TCB TV special. And she slapped Berry Gordy on the set of Mahogany after he took over directing the picture.

Which was a group. Mary and Florence (later Cindy) might have just supplied chorus, but without them, Ross NEVER would've become a successful solo artist.

She had a mystery and made me want it...

R19, Did she let you hold her for the first explosion?

by Anonymousreply 20March 3, 2022 1:35 AM

My mother has loved her ever since seeing the Supremes for the first time, age 11.

by Anonymousreply 21March 3, 2022 1:35 AM

My mother claimed to be surprised when I came out. This being after I insisted on the 12" of Chain Reaction for Christmas and followed by six months of singing it at every opportunity.

Which one of her children are you?
