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 ❤
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.
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
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 .
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
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 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
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
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!
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.
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.
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?
Ha ha your comment made me laugh so hard. Diana a gay icon, RuPaul, drag queens singing a Gloria Gaynor disco song - I will survive. Gay combustion LOL {Disclaimer I am a hag. I practically live in Soho :) }
never realized how beautiful diana ross is. and Ru is such an icon himself.
herself.

@@entidadewolf ru paul is a man makeup on or not lmaoo they can say him
Yes she’s absolutely beautiful
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!
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
Ru is a dude, honey
@@kimessex4011this didn’t age well at all lol

Ru’s biggest mistake on his newer talk show was that he didn’t do it in drag. That’s where the magic is...
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.
Ellen Degeneres can only WISH for this realness, Ru is such a gift to humanity.
Misael Munoz Facts 😏🎯😏

Amen

Rupaul doesn't age, 20 years later and still fab as ever!
He looks even better now!

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

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've always wanted hair like Diana Ross, big black and curly 😍
Diana Ross. Yes. I saw her in concert and when she did this song she brought Gloria Gaynor out. It was magic
Diana Ross is very beautiful. And, she is The original Queen Of Pop,
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!!!!!

Wow to hear Diana Ross talk about the difficulties for black folks in entertainment is breathtaking
I know it's 20years ago but WHO on this planet could pull off a tangerine pant suit besides Ms Ross????

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.
Diana Ross & Rupaul Charles doing the tootsie roll, I fucking LIVE
I loved the fact she stage dived 😍💌😍
What a fun interview. 5 STARS! All the way. Love to you both.
Diana ross es una diva única.
Diana Ross was 51 when this was filmed. Ru was experiencing his first phase of fame and international success.
1996, probably the best year ever 🎆
Two gorgeous divas, I miss the Ru show.
I LIVE for Ru's outfit.
Isn’t it wonderful that we’re in the same planet as Diana Ross?

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.
VERY GOOD.
I love Diana and ru Paul,I notice Diana loves to wear black alot,lol me to I love Diana big hair I swear that's her trademark hairstyle.
they always say that for everyone ,when they present him/her...
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!
посмотрела с удовольствием ролик супер!
If you count what Diana did with The Supremes + solo she has the most. :) Not just on her own.
Perfect family quite time
i remember watching this back in the day!
Oh Diana Ross's version is actually pretty good! :)
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...
Diana is just one fine looking lady
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.
two great legends on one stage X-)
such a great show. *crying*
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.
1:43 LMFAOO!!!!
Ru kills me sometimes.
Love this interview 💓
Oh RuPaul you are such an idol!
the best video
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.
Fabulous, darling.
Genialidade acima de tudo!
I love you all
My first concert .
I love you guys!!
wonderful
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.

loved it. #MamaRu and Lady Diana Ross Hennnny. love them. love Evan too ijs
super nice. i shall survive with the gloria version. best to your career.
Ha ha your comment made me laugh so hard. Diana a gay icon, RuPaul, drag queens singing a Gloria Gaynor disco song - I will survive. Gay combustion LOL {Disclaimer I am a hag. I practically live in Soho :) }
