I think it may have been a bad career move. She could have come out of the Brown issue acting really classy and it would've served her better in the long run. Now she comes off like another horny teenager. Start the fame countdown clock.
First of all many of the real entertainers/singers would clearly disagree with you. She could never give a Tina Turner like performance, something that kept one entertained from start to finish and vocally she didn't have the range as Aretha and or any singer of her time. Many entertainers of her era had to do it all, and Diana clearly sang through her nose. Diana wasn't the singer in the group and everyone knows this. But she of course had the commercial appeal that made her a star and pushed everyone behind.Her presentation on stage truly boring except when she stepped on group members toes. Have you ever seen her live?

You're missing the whole point of the Riahhna types versus the oldschool. I just plucked Diana outta a generation where sex wasn't on the menu....dig??? Talent a presentation were. Use Gladys Knight if you want............This is not an analysis of Diana Ross.
I've seen her live on HBO. She sounded good.
No...she's not a vocal giant like: Tina, Aretha or Gladys. But she didn't have to be. And her style was more sultry......and better that most pop tarts out there today. She didn't need that robot voice they have everybody using today.
I think you just like to argue and I am the only one willing to go back and forth with you. Look at anyone of her films what was she selling? Not her acting ability. She was at the time viewed as a sex symbol. The hair, make up, and outfits seem pretty tame but back then when most people were singing church music and Diana was wearing short skirts it was a big deal. Do your research please, and or stop trying to rant with me. I'm loosing any type of point you are trying to make.

Apples to apples.......the photos I presented are an accurate comparison to the Riahnnas of our time. The supremes were in their early 20's. They were not selling sex. They were selling music.
What diana did later in her career was still tame compared to what they do now!
I don't like to argue. But I think you are being somewhat "obtuse" on purpose.
