She got fired up after him having said that....

“Living in this new world might be a fantasy, But it taught me to love, so it’s real, real to me” Those lyrics really stand out to me

[@ajhundred8696]

My favorite lyrics in the entire show

[@TabrinaSongs]

They stand out for me! Growing up I was a book worm and my abusive mother used to tell me that “none of that’s real” but these books taught me so much! Gave me perspective and inspiration! So yes they’re real to me! I always cry at that part.

[@deatricelatham]

I like the part when she sings "maybe I convince time to slow up, giving me enough time in my life to grow up. Time, please be my friend, let me start again." I feel that part because I never really grew up. I feel like a little girl that never passed 12 years old.

Not funny at all, as the world was NOT ready back in 1978!

[@B.smith73]

Wow, this movie is more than a musical. There is a lot of messages that we can learn from this movie. (as black folk). Oz never existed, but only in Dorothy's world. That was Dorothy in each of those characters and that's the way she only could express herself. In real life she was a timid and shy girl. The Tin Man; she had subdued feelings of losing her parents and all of her inside emotions; Scarecrow; when her auntie suggested she should go to a different level than teaching the kindergarten class, she new she was smart but she was fearful from moving to the next level, and Lion; even though she had some sense of pride, she didn't let nobody come close enough to see her vulnerability, and that all she was holding on to. It took a strange occurrence to go within herself to realize her power that it was always in her. Even the great Richard Prior as the Wiz, he was not the answer,because it was in her all along, she had the answers. But let me stop preachin to ya'll!

[@keithharris19061]

She was NOT a great singer. Just like Beyonce and Janet Jackson. Whisperer and soft singers. Just beautiful commercial artist. She was ok. Just watch the strain in the throat, those veins popping, it shows she can't maintain and them notes wasn't even high. I still love it but Mills is better just not commercial enough.

[@carriemitchell4745]

She has been singing for over 66 years. She was singing before Stephanie Mills was born. She sang during the Civil Rights Movement. She inspired many black celebrities like Oprah. She is a Supreme singer. All singers in the 1950s and 1960s had to be able sing to get into Motown. Not like 1980s and 1990 singers. Thank you, Diana, for paving the way. Loving your Broadway singing voice.

[@keithharris19061]

@@carriemitchell4745 She was all that, yes, ok! But still we have ears and can hear. Listen to her sing🤷🏾‍♂️ Let's go with "Where did our love go" "Upside Down" 🙂"Love Hangover" (which I love!) "Endless love!" Just listen! Great arrangements, great songs, but please listen to the voice. It's talking through the songs and light and whispy. It just is🤷🏾‍♂️ Of all the Supreams she was viewed as most attractive and commercial. Heck, she dated Barry Gordy didn't she? They have a child. She positioned herself to get some great music and opportunity. That's ok. Not hating her. I am just evaluating singing and saying listen to Gladys Knight. Aretha Franklin, even Pattie LaBell. There are others but the voices are stronger and the range is broader. Even in this performance that began this discussion, just look at the struggle to hold the notes and the lack of breath. Look at the strain in the throat? At one point she even gives up a note and shakes it off saying "Uhh!" It looked painful. Also she had to start screaming out some of the words which gave great effect and effort BUT the greatest don't have to scream. I know he is a man but I don't imagine Luther Vandros screaming... She did exceedingly well with the things she had but just NOT a singer to bring you to tears with her voice quality. Now with her performance? Maybe 🤔 But that is what I am saying in a nutshell...Great performer that also sings a little but not a great voice of our times🙂 Come at me. I'm ready 🤺😉

[@carriemitchell4745]

I love this performance. Singing, but she was also acting . I love Patti LaBelle oh Danny boy and Aretha Franklin chain of fools. Dionne Warwick. They all can sing. 😊😊 Diana did her best for Broadway. Beyonce is struggling like most of today's singers . But Diana made it before Civil Rights movement. So I love anyone who helped paved the way. I agree with you she's not perfect but a knockout talent.

[@keithharris19061]

@@carriemitchell4745 Absolutely Agreed! They want Beyonce to be Diana of today, but, she can't "B" (see what I did there 😭) Anyway, she can't act! Diana was able to do a bit of everything. Lady Sings The Blues? Yeh, you can't top it as a classic. Her, Richard Pryor, Billy D! It gets no better and she did a superb job acting in that. She could cut a rug up pretty good too. I see you saying she is top shelf. She is. I just don't think it's on the singing voice alone but taking her in as a whole she embodied "Triple Threat!" Have a Happy New Year's..

[@MrCaptainA]

Trivia: Diana Ross actually sang this song live on camera instead of miming to vocals that would be recorded later on. This allowed her to really let loose with her vocals. Lena Horne, who played Glinda, was allowed the same perk with her rendition of "Believe In Yourself".

[@LetsplayLOTHO]

Thanks!

[@yodaya70]

Its suprising it seems like it isnt synced up well but that may just be the video

[@Dontbootit]

The vocals are recorded before actually

[@luvz2reed]

Yes. That's why it's just one shot right on her face. Diana was notoriously not a great lip syncher. She couldn't fake this performance. (Lena's song has just a couple of cuts. Don't know if it's because they did a few takes and used the best parts, or if the cut aways to the babies was to reinforce the message that she's telling the young people that they need to believe in themselves.)

[@punkanellylovejoy702]

More trivia: it was reported at the time that when Ms Ross saw the rush releases of Ms Horne's stunning performance, she went back and redid hers. Lol. When asked about this incident in an Ebony magazine interview, Lena Horne evaded the question. It's probably a true story, knowing the insecurities of the Wicked Witch of Motown.

Well all i can say is blackbarbiedoll as you i gave it all lowercase letters, they know not of what they speak, and I'm sure if that was I'm sure Quincy Jones would have made her do it over, as was he totally stretched Diana vocals giving her a new and emotional voice to sing with, and not robotic perfection. And that is why she and her career have blueprint for most female singers who then actresses and fashion designers. This is a person who never studied acting took on the part of Billie Holiday even though she doesn't look sound like yet gets nominated for an Oscar she doesn't win that year it Liza Minelli but even Liza who saw Diana as Billie Holiday while being interviewed said that DR deserved this more than me. I can never understand how people can sit faceless behind a computer critic something truly great. And this is performer who never got into this for the money she just wanted to have record on radio, but if you have been DR concert you see how much she loves perform and how strong and perfect vocals are live. This is a singer from 60 's when they had to use there own ears to hear themselves sing therefore they are much better singers than singers today. I saw her in central park on the rain day, probably greatest performance i've ever witnessed live. This is a woman who when it started raining pouring rain did not run and even with all the lightening she stood on that stage ushering out to make sure no one got hurt. And she will go down in history as one of the greatest performers not dancers or even singers but performers of all time and no can ever take that from EVER.

Diana Ross is a very underated vocalist. Nice, soft and silky.

[@JaredPryor87]

Hands down one my favorite movies as a kid...

[@Gudsur]

Brought me back to my childhood watching this for the first time. This is seriously timeless; still bringing chills to my spine and tears in my eyes. This is just simply beautiful every time I watch it!

[@JorrellSegarra]

2:50 It's soooo cute how she regains her composure here. She was really in it.

[@peterdeeclark]

no one seems to of noticed...done in one shot...brilliant! x

[@andresuston7692]

What's the big deal? She coulda done it worse or better with other takes, they kept the one that was good enough and moved on.

[@Hummingbird14-ff6de]

@@andresuston7692It’s much harder to do longer scenes in one take because if you mess up, you have to start all over again. Doing multiple shots gives you breathing room.

[@kailove8767]

I’m only 20 and I cherish this movie with my whole heart. I felt so connected to this movie and though I’ve seen it a lot, whenever I do watch it ..it’s like watching it for the first time ever

[@OliviaDaughter]

I had to come here today and give my respect. The passion is remarkable.

[@chrisroth4917]

DIANA ROSS gave this song and film such charm. I've always admired her performance.

[@DivaNdreaDz]

+CHRIS ROTH So do I. I cherish her.

[@chrisroth4917]

+DivaNdreaDz Hey, thank you for replying to my comment. I too adore the legendary DIANA ROSS. Over the years I've amassed a remarkable collection. Thousands of items from her wonderful career. Someday I hope to share it on my channel. Thanks again, FRIEND TO FRIEND.

[@slurpee4203]

why are you yelling her name😭

[@robertmetler7835]

I must have watched this movie a million times on HBO back in the summer of 1980! I saw her in concert 3 years ago and she sounded amazing! She is a true talent!

[@luvmewillu]

This makes me cry every time I hear this 😢 will forever love Diana Ross and this song

[@marknorthwest93]

This song has been my mantra in life, "If you are at home with yourself, you are home wherever you go." Diana Ross nailed it again in 2018 when she sang it live in NYC during the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Square. Diana is a superstar who is more precious to me now than ever!

[@pentalataylor1707]

You know you're an awesome performer when you could sang and be driven such emotional and still sang with such strong passion. Love it

[@Totallysamsays]

She moves me with her voice and presence. This song is one of my favor tear markers as well as Lena Hornes Believe. The story about this was Diana damage her corneas staring into the light. If you look at her eyes you can see the light. This is a very underrated film that deserves more praise even now as it a timeless classic.

[@Chichubby3rd]

Hearing this song in my 20s and now my 60s...both times so different but just as intense. Not a Diana fan in this movie but in this one song she owned it!

[@iago07]

Something tells me this was probably done in one take... it’s so raw and full of real emotions that I can’t imagine they made her do it again haha

[@tierrashanice6299]

Just amazing! Her acting makes you feel every single word of this song ❤️

[@MegaMorphTronpages]

Miss Ross's vocals are obviously fabulous but her acting .. OH MY GOD! She should have done more musical theatre for sure!

[@danamcnair9769]

This is and always will be my all time favorite childhood movie. Love and miss you MJ!!

[@LiLmSzDiVa]

She sang this so perfectly. My favorite version. Tear up every time.

[@opheliadays5803]

My all time favorite story. Don’t evenr let anyone convince you that they are the wiz! You can always find your way home!!

[@MariaperezRK]

She´s so down to earth and genuine. That song really touched my heart.

[@Lakena2552]

Diana Ross performed the hell out of this song!

[@anetterichard2389]

Diana doesn't sound too here at all sorry.

[@anetterichard2389]

She doesn't sound good here. She sounds terrible, actually. I love her voice, not here though.

[@jcp4kemp]

This is just beautiful and climatic!!!! The raw emotion and escalation is remarkable. I especially enjoy the head lean and dip at 2:52. I cannot listen to this without playing back to that spot at least five times! Wonderful!

[@maxfieldblue]

Some of the GREATEST musical talents were in this film... I don't give a crap that someone panned it.. it's a tour de force of undeniable talent and song writing and performing that so VERY few can match !! I love this film and everything that went into making it !!! I love you Lena and Ms. Thang !!! ( Ross the Boss ) !

Oh my 😲 it's so amazing. A beautiful restored movie 🎥 with 1 of the best classic songs 🎶 from the legendary Ms Diana Ross. Great 👍 performance 👏👏👏 I love it 😘

[@meemaw-lao0wk]

i wonder how bittersweet it must be for diana to rewatch this movie, seeing all the memories she made with other cast members only to remember that shes the last actor who is currently alive while the others have unfortunately passed. it must be awful for her

[@avonee1976]

To me, nobody can sing this song like Miss Diana! This is my favorite movie and one of my favorite songs ever!

One of the last legends. I remember going to the movies to see this when it came out. I think I was about 4 or 5 years old back in 1978-79.

[@mysmiee]

This song reminds me of my mom, it has a special place in my heart. I damn near cry every time I hear it

[@spoileddiva313]

I completely understand. It makes me think of my mom and big Sis every time and brings tears every time. Sending you love.

[@joenax777]

I love the "Its REAl, REAl to ME" at 2:38. It's so raw and powerful

[@charleslewis954]

Cried watching this as a kid. Still love it here in 2024

[@zakkxx1]

I mean whoever said Diana is a soft spoken soft voice with no depth is definitely proved wrong. It was gorgeous and emotional ❤😮

[@bernadettemorris7219]

This song talks about my Home when I was a child. It was 11 of us and we loved each other just like Home! I got saved and I was able to tell my family about God’s love! I had someone to sing this song at my mom’s funeral! I dedicated it to all of my siblings. ❤

Sorry, that was me.

This part is a guarantied tear jerker for me. I've been watching this movie for approximately 40 years, and you would think that i wouldn't get that emotional over it. But every time is like my first.
