Diana Ross - The RuPaul Show [1996]

[@airmix08]

never realized how beautiful diana ross is. and Ru is such an icon himself.

[@entidadewolf]

herself.

[@MissFlux]

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 ❤

[@patrickmiller1834]

Yes she’s absolutely beautiful

[@_eaturveggies01]

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!

​@@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.

Rupaul doesn't age, 20 years later and still fab as ever!

[@Boobalopbop]

He looks even better now!

[@rc5chi539]

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 .

[@Hamlet2369]

If you find older clips of rupaul you will see he has stayed as young in spirit, truly an icon

[@dogukan_sahin]

25 years now

[@ferhanck]

Ru’s biggest mistake on his newer talk show was that he didn’t do it in drag. That’s where the magic is...

[@jonldn]

Diana seemed so relaxed with rupaul... Great interview

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

[@Matell]

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.

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?

"Gone from point A to point ZILLIONAIRE" lol that was classic

[@SuchAPrettyMess]

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!

[@elm1230]

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 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

[@karrtt1234]

I think they are including the 12 she had with the supremes...

[@OnlineAdministrator1]

@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 :)
