Diana Ross on the Midday Show (Australia) 1997

Diana Ross makes a guest appearance on Kerri - Anne Kennerley's Midday Show.

[@classanddignity]

You see how well spoken this woman is in front of a live show in a foreign country. She represents herself very well & comes across as very personable. There are not many stars that represent themselves like she has now and since the Supremes. Many singers may make hits, but do not have this type of fluidity & grace in how they correspond in an interview. She is an asset to her country and her race.

[@iloveyou75204]

I think to her country, but not so much her race. She married all white men.

[@tulaplexi]

iloveyou75204 So Blacks in the U.S.A. didn't embrace Lena Horne,Nina Simone,Harry Belafonte,Sidney Poitier,Quincy Jones either right?

[@classanddignity]

iloveyou75204 Thank you, but you misunderstand. Tina Turner married a black who beat her black & blue; yet, she is also an asset to her race & country. Like Tina, Diana represent herself with grace, class, dignity, universal star power, strength, empowerment, intelligence, articulation, presence, poise, innovation etc. &has a distinct & trademarked talent. Correspondingly, Tina has later married a white man; yet, that does not change her greatness as a pioneer in her craft as Diana is a pioneer & asset in the industry for her country & race as a phenomenal Black-American image that popularized the music universally since the Supremes.

[@AIKAN74]

iloveyou75204 don't get it twisted.Diana is very much a credit to Black people internationally and particularity to African Americans. We love and treasure her, don't believe mainstream media. Sheisnot the only black woman to marry a white man and not the last. Due to slavery white men was taking black women so we are used to mixed folks in our culture.

[@iloveyou75204]

AIKAN74 But Diana choose all white men to marry and have children with, and there's a reason for that. And this is why I say she wasn't proud of her race, maybe her country, but certainly not her race, because if she was, why wasn't a black guy good enough to marry and have children with? Huh? There's no way around it, so please stop now while you're ahead.

[@Bochanable]

She sooo much more relaxed internationally because she is seen as a true legend without the petty controversy she sometimes dealt with in the states. Thankfully, it has changed greatly in America and worldwide.

[@punkanellylovejoy702]

You should have seen what she so professionally "centered" herself on top of (in The Motown Master Bedroom Suite) in order to earn herself the lead on such Supremes classics as "Baby Love" and "Cum Pee About Me" . Her "centeredness" can be directly tied to her study and practice of an old ancient philosophy called SpreadEaglism , with it's origins and azzroots having developed from low class society

I here sometimes from people saying Diana Ross does not rehearse anymore but she expects her backup singers and the band to rehearse and demand they be on time , but I'm so glad Diana has just proved once again by saying even in this interview she still rehearse all the time . What I know about Ms.ross in going to her concerts she has always been on time , I love the fact that when going to a Diana Ross concert it starts on time and I've been to many sense 1976 and they all have started on time and I've been to many and most others have started late .this is classic Diana Ross interview ,what a beautiful lady and a wonderful interview thank you for posting this top rate interview

[@wonderboyjoy]

I remember seeing this at the time and thinking 'this is why Diana ross is a legend'. This interview was a lot longer than had expected. Diana looked and acted classy a usual.as someone once said, Diana seems much more relaxed n interviews outside her own country. she was great live that night too. though her audience was prob made up of a lot of people that did not really know of her work seemed to be a lot of younger people in the audience.

[@RodHagwood]

You're right about interviews outside of the U.S. I wonder why that is?

[@BroccoliBeefed]

Rod Hagwood because people in the USA get wrapped up in all the drama about wthat occurred when she was with The Supremes. They think she was the cause of Flo's demise, and that she stepped on the other two to get to the forefront. She slept with the owner of the record company, blah blah blah.

[@eross8282]

I have always noticed that her interviews overseas are more "real" and relaxed. From you alls comments, I know it's not just my imagination. I think there may be a lot of truth to what u stated Rod.

[@DetroitLives313]

Diana also had a young woman that was delivering flowers fired from her job during this visit to Australia.

13:54 Is she ok? She didn't get married in 1980, she married in 1986, 6 years later. How could she mistake 1980 for 1986? She's only been married twice, in 1971 and 1986, so how could she say she married in 1980? :/ In January 1971, Ross married music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein. With Silberstein, Ross had two daughters, Tracee Joy and Chudney Lane Silberstein, born in 1972 and 1975, respectively. Ross and Silberstein divorced in 1977 and Ross relocated to New York in the early 1980s after years living in Los Angeles. Later, Ross met her second husband, Norwegian billionaire shipping magnate Arne Næss, Jr. in 1985 and married him the following year, later having boys Ross Arne and Evan Olav.

No honey Diane Ross tried to be Judy with that hilarious trash movie called the wiz. Judy Garland was the real bonafide Dorothy. Judy was a talented actress. And Judy could actually sing. Although Ross is a "singer" she is not noted for her singing style. Please don't insult the legacy of Judy Garland again by comparing her to someone of Ross's caliber

[@punkanellylovejoy702]

@Eye. stupid Benny Spy yes she made us look good but what we didn't know was that she was only making herself look good because behind the scenes she was a disgrace to black people and ALL people

[@punkanellylovejoy702]

@Eye. stupid Benny Spy Judy Garland was a singer actress and dancer. She has dozens of hit movies. But the wizard of Oz alone is enough to put her far and long away somewhere over the fucking rainbow from Diane Ross. Yes I know that Judy Garland died of a drug overdose because her rotten mother (whom Judy hated) got her hooked on uppers and downers to keep her going to be able to work long hours when she was a child. But anyway what the hell does her death have to do with this? She's more entertaining in death than the Bastard-Breeding-Bitch of Motown will ever be in life!
