Well, she’s a gift to the entertainment business. She’s great on tv and she has a real gift for entertaining people. She can do it all. But when it comes to Rupaul as a human being, I think she’s a real bitch
Yes I felt the same, I couldn’t get over HOW gorgeous Diana is. I mean I always thought she was beautiful .. maybe it’s age, and we see people so differently. You look at skin & teeth & just how they are holding themselves & the vibe they project .. I really see now why RuPaul is SO enamoured by Miss Ross ❤
Not to be or sound shady BUT do you mean with or without makeup ? a fair question ? with his makeup , a cover girl , without it , aging like the rest of us .
Diana Ross is the most overrated singer I Florence Ballard saying better than her when is we know she screwed her way to the top having a child by Berry Gordy
@@kimessex4011The same ol' story about Diana Ross...wasn't the old american preach "don't ask what your country (America) can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"??? She did what she had to do to get where she needed to be. Period.
i’m so jealous. sooooooo jealous Ru. sooooooooooooi jealous of you with Diana!!!!!! i loved this video cause it could really show me another face of Diana’s, her joyful self, gay-friendly self, natural self and her REAL self!! wow!!!!!! i congrats Ru for realizing a dream of mine!!!!!
I love Diana Ross. I love Mary Wilson. I love The Supremes. I am 49 years old and grew up with my parents playing the Supremes throughout my whole childhood in the '70s and'80s. My favourite girl group of all time.
I remember talking to the then CEO of Motown Records the late Jheryl Busby (11/04/2008) - wow 11 years ago this week (11/13/2019) that Take Me Higher was Diana Ross premiere album and that Motown was not promoting her album as they should. I was telling him this as he walked into the newsstand buying 'Hits Magazine' with Diana Ross on the cover. I told him how important 'Take Me Higher and "I Will Will Survive" meant to me and the LGBTQ community, and that we were upset that "I Will Survive" wasn't on MTV or VH1. I said it didn't make sense that another artist by the name of Diana Savage had her version of the same song out and it was getting better coverage than Diana's version at the time. I said did he or Motown not believe the album "Take Me Higher." I also told him that how can he have let Boys2Men doing a duet with Gladys Knight and the group not it with Diana Ross, I also reminded him that Motown always used to team their artist together. Diana Ross was just off her hugely successful Half Time Show at Super Bowl XXX (1996) with a recorded breaking 53 percent rating, and it seemed to me that she was working harder promoting her music than Motown. He just said how great she was and that he loved the album. It was a random meeting but I had him in front of me and I gave him a mouth full of complaints. All ends well though "Take Me Higher" went on to become a #1 Dance Club hit and "I Will Survive" became a Top 20 hit around the world and Diana Ross still performs these two giants of a song in concerts.
The Supremes had 12 #1 hits from the summer of 64 - Dec 69 some were hitting # 1 each month and Far as entire albums 5 from 64-68 Diana as solo had 11 from 70-95 # 1 albums she had 5 if you don't know now you know!!!!
I don't understand why they are always trying to discredit her either. They never explain themselves. Here are some more of her achievements: - LifeTime Grammy Award Winner -Nomination for Academy Awards (LTSB) -Successful Worldwide Concert Performer for 50+ years -7 time AMA award winner -Kennedy Center Award winner (2011) -French Cesar Award (French Academy Awards for LTSB) -Billboard Female Entertainer of Century 1976
It's interesting how it goes from diva to diva... in Lady Sings The Blues, Diana Ross plays one her influences, Billie Holiday, in the movie Diana recreates Billie not fearing the Ku Klux Klan, and then in the early 90's RuPaul had a run in with the KKK and didn't back down as well, like *Ru's* inspiration did in the movie!
Ha ha your comment made me laugh so hard. Diana a gay icon, RuPaul, drag queens singing a Gloria Gaynor disco song - I will survive. Gay combustion LOL {Disclaimer I am a hag. I practically live in Soho :) }
That was great. I had forgotten all about this version of the song. This is the first time I've seen the 'I will Survive' video and it is now 2013. I would have been in my 20's at the time and working in a drag cabaret club called Madame Jo Jo's in London. So shame on me as a gay man, The thing is! Where was RuPaul's voice in the video. In the song for that matter?
Rupaul looks so beautiful here and Yes Rupaul's hero is the legend Diana and his other hero is the legend Dolly Parton he always say my image is part Diana and Dolly!!!..LOVE RUPAUL,DOLLY AND DIANA!
the legendary Diana Ross. i just love this wonderful woman. thank you for the music, thank you for the support and thank you for the inspirations. i love you Dianna Ross
I love Diana Ross and RuPaul so this video is a treat. Nice to see Diana's support of the LGBTQ community. I also love her cover of "I Will Survive". It's so 90's. #DianaRoss #RuPaul #90smusic #LGBTQ

I agree, there should be another RuPaul talk show. I think it would be pretty successful. It's OK that we don't have one though, at least he's still on TV and relevant.
Ru’s biggest mistake on his newer talk show was that he didn’t do it in drag. That’s where the magic is...
Ellen Degeneres can only WISH for this realness, Ru is such a gift to humanity.
Misael Munoz Facts 😏🎯😏
Well, she’s a gift to the entertainment business. She’s great on tv and she has a real gift for entertaining people. She can do it all. But when it comes to Rupaul as a human being, I think she’s a real bitch
Amen
@@Bibico97 EXACTLY.
never realized how beautiful diana ross is. and Ru is such an icon himself.

@@entidadewolf ru paul is a man makeup on or not lmaoo they can say him
Yes she’s absolutely beautiful
Rupaul doesn't age, 20 years later and still fab as ever!
He looks even better now!
bluesugar58 exactly
Not to be or sound shady BUT do you mean with or without makeup ? a fair question ? with his makeup , a cover girl , without it , aging like the rest of us .
If you find older clips of rupaul you will see he has stayed as young in spirit, truly an icon
25 years now
Diana seemed so relaxed with rupaul... Great interview
@trente-trois Mille lmao ur broke.
@trente-trois Mille you could tell ur broke. lmao and rupaul is not transgender he is a drag queen.
I love Ru's energy and the fact that she broke so many barriers and has continued to do so even today. You Go Girl! Werk it!
Diana Ross is the most overrated singer I Florence Ballard saying better than her when is we know she screwed her way to the top having a child by Berry Gordy
Ru is a dude, honey
@@kimessex4011this didn’t age well at all lol

They dont make this kind of interviews anymore..
This is so pure..wholesome.. genuine and overall positive...
she's 52 years here??!! she's fucking ridiculously gorgeous! she looks my age and i'm 25 wtf kinda witchery is this
Diana Ross needs no introduction when she takes the stage her presence is known the boss miss Ross legendary true perfection
Wow to hear Diana Ross talk about the difficulties for black folks in entertainment is breathtaking
Omg Diana Ross' hair and eyes are just gorgeous 😍 She is so beautiful.
This is why there was a double elimination
I died hahaha thank you so much for that
I know it's 20years ago but WHO on this planet could pull off a tangerine pant suit besides Ms Ross????
Diana Ross. Yes. I saw her in concert and when she did this song she brought Gloria Gaynor out. It was magic
God, she is a FORCE OF NATURE😍 LEGEND
She really is. So ahead of her time for the 90s.
@@stacirivera799 she who Diana or RuPaul

Diana Ross is beautiful and very sweet
I've always wanted hair like Diana Ross, big black and curly 😍
I love Diana Ross. I love Mary Wilson. I love The Supremes. I am 49 years old and grew up with my parents playing the Supremes throughout my whole childhood in the '70s and'80s. My favourite girl group of all time.
Miss Ross like no other
Diana Ross is very beautiful. And, she is The original Queen Of Pop,

Isn’t it wonderful that we’re in the same planet as Diana Ross?
I saw this back in the day. I can't believe it's been almost twenty years!!
Diana Ross was 51 when this was filmed. Ru was experiencing his first phase of fame and international success.
Diana is gorgeous! So is Ru!
2 queens cant get any better than this
I love both Diana and Ru, both are my idols!
Diana Ross is pure class
Time flies! 1996, 27 years !!! 🙄
I loved the fact she stage dived 😍💌😍

I was there during the taping of her video in West Hollywood, January 1996. This was one for the books. Diana really looked beautiful up close.
the 90's talk shows had all the great artists on them, I use to watch this show faithfully
This was a gem. I still have it on tape. Thanks for sharing.
RUPUAL IS A LIVING LEGEND
"Gone from point A to point ZILLIONAIRE" lol that was classic
Ayyye, '96 Baby here!
Rupaul still looks the fucking same how many years later. Crazy.
Diana looks sooooooooo good here 🥵

I really feel like Diana Ross could be Nicole Richie’s Mom:)
I love Diana Ross and RuPaul so this video is a treat. Nice to see Diana's support of the LGBTQ community. I also love her cover of "I Will Survive". It's so 90's.

@mrlopez2681 Madonna had 12 (?) US number 1s. Diana had 18 in all: 12 as lead singer of The Supremes, and 6 solo....Plus if you include "We Are The World" it means she featured on 19 number 1s in all :)
Amazing but charts don't matter
That is true, Madonna has outsold them all. She's also the richest in the entertainment industry as a performer of any gender ( $1billion). Remember this was 1996, so at the time perhaps Madonna hadn't surpassed Diana yet.
I grew up listening to Motown, now I see Diana in a totally different light, thanks for posting, brilliant xxx
I agree, there should be another RuPaul talk show. I think it would be pretty successful. It's OK that we don't have one though, at least he's still on TV and relevant.
i remember watching this back in the day!
Oh RuPaul you are such an idol!
I saw a legend LIVE a few months ago in Sir Paul...got me thinking I'd like to see Ms Ross and Sir Stevie before I go...
itstyco the music is take me higher by diana ross from the said same incredible album which was a huge hit here in the uk,just fabulous.
Rupaul is so smart
посмотрела с удовольствием ролик супер!

Ru kills me sometimes.

Rue looks like Nancy (These Boots Are Made For Walking) Sinatra in his orange dress and white boots.
I love you all
She probably didn't have the most #1s before 1996.
Fabulous, darling.
Love this interview 💓
two great legends on one stage X-)
