  • This is when they became a "SUPERSTAR GROUP"!!! Florence Ballard left a few months earlier...and you can tell they really turned up the heat!!! What do you think? They sing "Reflections" and "Lady Is A Tramp" and killed it. Check out Diana at the end of the 2nd song...SUPERSTAR!!!!

The failure of The "Return To Love" Tour in 2000 proved once and forever that Diane is NOT The Supremes and that THEIR legacy is greater than the sum of their individual parts............and that especially pertains to DIANE ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    People are upset about the group becoming Diana Ross and the Supremes, however, no one gave a hooty tooty flying fuck, when those other groups became Smokey Robinson and the Miracles or Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, etc.. Explain that one. You people just don't like Diana Ross. Yeah, she was manipulative, and egotistical. That's how ambition and SMARTS works. She was also the most beautiful, most graceful, had the most stage presence, had the best intonation. The other girls always sounded somewhat flat against her voice
    And you Diana haters make it sound like it was a walk in the park for her. Please. She wasn't getting paid any more than the other girls. She got perks. So what, they all got perks. Diana has worked unimaginably hard to get to the top. Remember she didn't have Motown's help when the RCA years came around. She did that, produced TV shows, etc all by herself and with her companies. Her leaving Motown was about being ripped off for so many years and finally realizing it. Berry is almost like a Phil Spector in terms of paying his artists.
    And as for her fucking Berry, they didn't have a child till 1970, so get over it. It takes two to tango.

    Mary Wilson couldn't even take over the lead after the beautiful Diana Ross left the group. She was still a backup Singer, so she had no business talking about singing leads or wanting to sing leads when Diana Ross was in the group. I believe Berry and Motown knew talent and how to make it work. History has already proved that and Diana Ross deserved every glory that came her way because she was the star and she believed in herself. There was nobody who was going to deny sister her fame.

The music stands on its own and there's no denying that Ross went on to be a superstar. How she got there is absolutely of no consequence because in the end, she'll have to make peace with her God.

      Yeah, and some lead singers thought they were worth 15-20 million which is something they had never earned before either. When you put Diane, Mary, and Cindy together, ALL of their individual values go up as they collectively become the legendary SUPREMES! You silly "Ross as a solo act" fans are still carrying on about Mary not wanting to participate because of the money.....that was just ONE factor! At least, the cancellation of that fiasco proved one thing.......and that is that Diane was NOT The Supremes! That was a hard lesson for YOU people to learn and a hard pill for you to swallow! Yes, Diane has moved on as has Mary. They are both performing their "oldies" concerts. Diane took the "Diana Ross" part and Mary took "and The Supremes!"

      Dearest David no ome loved the Supremes and then Diana Ross and the Supremes then just Diana ross i was too young too see the Suptrmrs live but i have seen one of our first divas miss Ross many times but Kurtsupreme is closer to the truth , Mary Wilson was indeed lead singer for a second, but thenalong came Berry and the changes began . they were a group and deserved a more equal slice of the pie..As dearly as diana is to my heart i dont think even you can find a reason Flo Ballad should have died so young and in poverty especially when she played such a major role in the divas career with a 20 million dollar contract your words i'm sure she could have given flo a better life having come from the same

      First of all Diana Ross set up a trust fund for Florence kids. Secondly Diana Ross gave money to Mary Wilson when she went broke idiot. Thirdly Berry Gordy made the right choice in Ross and history has proven that a Million times over. As for Florence dying young well when you abuse alcohol and don't take care of yourself it doesn't help the situation any.

      Mary and Diane are nearly 71 years old (with the operative word being OLD). Are you speaking about looks? Mary is still more beautiful than Diane (I doubt that you have ever met Mary by your comment). Both of these women have gained weight. Yes, Mary has gained more............are you referring to weight? Are you speaking about Mary telling HER story? Isn't she entitled? Diane tells her side and so does Berry Gordy. Personally, Mary's perception of what happened is closer to my own recollections than Diane or Berry's, who seem to have recreated the history of Motown to suit their own image.....it is as though THE SUPREMES NEVER EXISTED!. Mary is a Motown outsider who has filed litigation against the corporation and has refused to disappear................ for that, she has been chastised and oppressed. Is speaking her truth what you refer to as "Bitterness?" Mary was a background singer in a group that was so HUGE and successful that a woman who didn't even sing lead can still have a million dollar career singing old songs associated with the group. Diane sings THEIR songs at each of her "oldies" shows as well. Is the fact that Mary still performs as an original "Supreme" what you are speaking about? Diane has a voice that is better suited than Mary's for the lead melody lines of The Supremes songs. Is Mary no less entitled to sing the songs of the legendary trio of which she was a part? Is that what you are referring to? Just what ARE you speaking about when you mention what "all that Bitterness did to Mary Wilson??"

      Following your logic, though, Diana Ross is a leech off Berry Gordy, Motown, and Holland-Dozier-Holland, because without them, SHE would still be in the projects. To discount anyone in the Motown story as "anonymous background singers" is to trash history. Everyone involved in the Motown story has a part, a role, a name and a face. As Mary Wilson has said, the public didn't just fall in love with one black girl from the Brewster Projects; they fell in love with a trio of them. That's the Supremes story; not one girl, but three. Singing, swinging, moving, and grooving girls who did it all with a smile -- that's the Supremes story.

      Lecuyer Dooley You nailed it, Lecuyer Dooley, but don't expect these SILLY "Ross as a solo act" fans who were not even born when the legendary trio reigned SUPREME to listen to the truth! They don't want to know the truth! They want to cling to the Ross/Gordy/Robinson/Depasse MYTHOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thing that they seem to have the hardest time understanding is that, while Diane was the "centerpiece on the banquet TABLE", THE SUPREMES (collectively) were the BANQUET!!!!!! Either they can't get that or they don't WANT to get that!!!! I'm not sure which one it is!

    • @lecuyerdooley1084
      @lecuyerdooley1084 9 років тому +1

      I feel exactly where you're coming from. Diana Ross could not become Diana Ross without the Supremes, namely Flo and Mary. Even she recognizes that, otherwise she would not continue to perform Supremes songs in her solo act. Those are not her songs; those are THEIR songs. She has also acknowledged Mary Wilson's central role as one third of a three-piece unit. I don't get these fans who come on here and call Mary Wilson everything but a child of God. What in the world did she do so terribly wrong to deserve such wrath?

    @anfieldlegend Thanks for bringing common sense to this unfortunate situation. Some people are stuck forever on things that happened in this group many years ago instead of focusing on the great things they accomplished together. The Supremes are legendary and nothing can change that.

    Amen, Amen, and Amen!!! That is exactly the point. Diana Ross career is so amazing that people always have something to say whether it is Good or Bad. The Motown Starlett rise is breathtaking starting with the Supremes success, then going Solo and becoming the Star and Legend she is today. The fact that people talk bad about her is because they are really hurt that she left the Supremes and became the Star and Legend she is and was always wanting to be.

    Doolie,
    Yes, I am excited for you. I remember how excited I used to get when I would get to see THE SUPREMES in person back in the 960's. The symphony orchestra does make a big difference! Personally, I would find it tortuous; however, I know how much you love the old girl. Think of me when she sings the songs of the legendary SUPREMES! I'll bet she says little to nothing about the group except to maybe mention the group's name..........if she does that much!

    Diana's transformation into this slinky feline sex kitten is remarkable look at 1:52 to 2:30 she brought it in a way that provoked envy and even hatred because they knew she was something no one had ever seen or will see again and it made her a mythical creature of which other singers are measured....amazing

    Diana Ross is probably very happy. She does exactly what she loves most, performing, & is well-paid to do it in huge arenas worldwide. Her children adore her. Successive generations consistently tell her how inspirational she is to us. Her only personal regret is, perhaps, divorcing Bob Ellis in 1976, a good man who's still a major part of her life.
    Yeah, it's worth it. It wasn't easy, but, it's worth it.
    Diana's voice is very soulful. She just doesn't scream or holler.
