DIANA ROSS IN CONCERT:
As Billboard's "Female Entertainer of the Century," Diana Ross holds an unrivaled place among R&B's rich history of legendary divas. From her time leading the Supremes to her extraordinary solo career, Ross's supple voice, striking looks, and effortless style have made her a timeless icon, as charismatic today as she was in the '60s. Featuring her greatest hits, Motown-inspired backup singers, and all the costume changes you'd expect from a diva's diva, Ross's 2013 shows stunned, setting expectations sky high for her 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in Detroit, Ross rose to international superstardom in the '60s as leader of the Supremes, the group that became Motown Records' golden goose with an unprecedented ten No. 1 hits between the years 1964-1967. After fulfilling her contract with the group, Ross released her self-titled solo debut in 1970, earning her first Grammy nomination with soul classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." Following the success of her first solo TV special Diana!, Ross once again topped the charts with 1973's "Touch Me in the Morning," going on to release a hugely successful duet album with Marvin Gaye later that year. In addition to her chart success, Ross established herself as a skilled actor with acclaimed appearances in classic '70s films including Mahogany and The Wiz. Over a career that spans more than half a century, Ross has released 27 Top 40 singles, earning a Guinness World Record as the most successful female artist of all time.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Diana is still the beautiful diva she's always been and stuns in her many sparkling costumes, singing all of the many, many favorites that have made her loved by so many."
"Her voice was wonderful. She was so professional and knew how to work a crowd. Great selection of songs. And her costume changes were fantastic."
"Still a Diva, glamorous, elegant, classy... It was a wonderful show. The crowd in New Orleans adored her, were on their feet almost the entire time, singing along and dancing to her hits -- all well-delivered."
Best concert ever. She sang for over 1 1/2 hours without a break. Still has a very strong voice has aged wonderfully.
Diana Ross is such an easy, sincere, relaxed, cheerful, genuine and talented performer. Her vocal chords are still great at 66 years old. She sang many old favorites from the Supremes era, many of her solo hits and a few newer ones. The above stage screen displayed a collage of many photos from her impressive career. Her 14 piece band with a strong brass section was talented - tho a bit loud at times drowning out Ross' voice, with also a possible problem with her mike picking up her voice a few times. Her three person harmony singers were perfect. And Ross' 5-6 outfit changes into a variety of spangly dresses made her even more beautiful. Her taste is superb - no wonder she apparently longed to be a clothes designer as a teenager. Finally, at the end of the concert, she urged security guards to let her fans approach the stage - many of whom had been standing and dancing throughout her sell out concert. No wonder her fans love her so much! And, then she sang a tribute to Michael Jackson (which tho touching should have been in the middle of the concert so that her show could end on a positive note with an energetic song rather than a sentimental sad song.) All and all, a great evening!! Don't miss it!
"Reflections of the way life use to be..." That line pretty much sets the undertone of the show. An emotional roller-coaster ride through the years of one's earlier life (should you be old enough) via a high energy and sometimes less so performance. The music selection and the band's musical perfection only add to the enjoyment of the show. Diana Ross brought it all out and sang as well as might be expected. Still finding the notes and sounding as good as ever. A must-see performance for any Diana Ross/Supremes fan.
She still has a crystal clear voice...softer than ever.... the show was amazing, the was incredible and her tribute to Michael Jackson was so touching... Thank you.
Thr voice the beauty and the magic was all there. You must go see this show! In factin going again at Radio City Music Hall NY
Diana put on an amazing show! The well known classics and a few nice covers. She was beautiful and worked very hard to personalize the show with the audience. She sensed that the audience wanted to get as close to her as possible - about 3/4 's of the way into the show she asked the security people to allow the audience to come closer. She said "Just be polite now" which reminded me that she is a mother of five. Anyone that is a Diana fan will not be dissapointed. The MGM Grand at Foxwoods theater is a great venue ...not too big or small very comfortable seating with enough room to get up and dance a little to your favorite songs.
OMG......That Lady rocks !!!!! Don't miss her. She's the Boss.
what a great show...loved her ,she was what i wanted her to be...entertaining and grand...
Marvelous, Great I'am happy. The show was great. The people were incredible.
Diana pulled a reported 800,000 in Central Park, sold out stadiums around the globe....the 70s and 80s she was Queen of the Arenas, the 90s she owned international venues like the mega-star she is..........now, she is playing at elegant upscale venues that are intimate and regal. Just saw her at Gelredome in Arnhem, Holland with over 60,000 fans in October 2009. At this point in her career, this is exactly where I envisioned she would be playing.......the most, elegant state of the art venues in a given market. "I"ll be at The Fox Theatre, Radio City and Saratoga Concerts outside of San Francisco.
You must see this Lady perform live! Her voice is more dynamic than any recording can capture. She is the ultimate female singer and most cannot hold a candle to her. Her voice will never be duplicated.
LOve this woman and have seen her live 28 times and each time I see her she gets better and better...and wow what a beauty she is.
Finally I saw Diana live. She was 27 years ago in Rotterdam for a performance. Together with friends we lined up very early in the morning to buy tickets in the pre-sale. We all succeeded, so we were very happy! But, the day she'll perform I was very ill, so I couldn't go to see her. I was very sad. I was never be able to see her. Until last evening. The song 'I'm still waiting' is not for me anymore. I saw Diana and she was SUPER! What a beautiful voice and she sings so easily. She is still so good looking as well! Full of joy she told the audience, that she became a grandmother this year. Such a happiness. (Yes, it sure is, I know, because I'm a grandmother myself) I hope, to have the oppurtinity to see her once again in the neare future. Because again 27 years waiting...
Great show, and a wonderful experience to see Motown-icon "La Ross" in action. She's still going strong!
I live in the state of VA, Ms. Ross was performing in Florida. My bestfriend and I hopped a plane and went to Florida and as usual Diana Ross did not disappoint. She's talented , classy (hard to find these days) and the show started on time. I realize there is no need for her to tour but if she could squeeze out at least 2 or 3 more concerts in the states, particularly Florida or Washington, DC. I personally would be grateful.
At 65, you would expect that Diana might be slowing down. I saw her two years ago when she performed with a small ensemble for one hour at twice the price of this show. She was on for two hours and did not disappoint the audience, singing full versions of Supremes songs and her many solo hits. No medleys here! The band was jumping and the crowd was loving it.
Again she proved to be the best singer ever. I saw her probably 20 yrs. ago and this show, rated just as great as back then. I will go to another concert of hers if she performs here or close by again. She actually brought tears to my eyes. I love her!!
Diana Ross' performance was great. She sang a wide variety of her hits. Fans down in front of the stage were a minor distraction during part of the show.
