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.
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 .
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
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’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!!!!!
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 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 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 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
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?
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!
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!
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 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!

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.
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.
They dont make this kind of interviews anymore..
This is so pure..wholesome.. genuine and overall positive...
Diana Ross needs no introduction when she takes the stage her presence is known the boss miss Ross legendary true perfection
Omg Diana Ross' hair and eyes are just gorgeous 😍 She is so beautiful.
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. Yes. I saw her in concert and when she did this song she brought Gloria Gaynor out. It was magic

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 know it's 20years ago but WHO on this planet could pull off a tangerine pant suit besides Ms Ross????
I saw this back in the day. I can't believe it's been almost twenty years!!
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 love both Diana and Ru, both are my idols!
What a fun interview. 5 STARS! All the way. Love to you both.
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.
2 queens cant get any better than this

Rupaul still looks the fucking same how many years later. Crazy.
Diana's outfit is hot!
Two Huge stars amoung us
Diana looks sooooooooo good here 🥵

I don;t know if she liked being Dorthy in the Wiz but I love love love, Dinana Ross in that movie.

посмотрела с удовольствием ролик супер!
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...
i remember watching this back in the day!
Love this interview 💓
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.
VERY GOOD.
If you count what Diana did with The Supremes + solo she has the most. :) Not just on her own.
mrs ross is a diva....how come I don't hear ru paul at all on the track
+emcghee09 because she is lipsyncing for her life.....
the best video
Oh Diana Ross's version is actually pretty good! :)
Perfect family quite time
"Gone from point A to point ZILLIONAIRE" lol that was classic
Fabulous, darling.
such a great show. *crying*
Diana ross crowd surfing? wat the?
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.
two great legends on one stage X-)
Oh RuPaul you are such an idol!
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 love you guys!!
I really feel like Diana Ross could be Nicole Richie’s Mom:)
wonderful
@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
She probably didn't have the most #1s before 1996.
I love you all
1:43 LMFAOO!!!!
Ru kills me sometimes.
My first concert .
super nice. i shall survive with the gloria version. best to your career.
