“Because I’m just like you-“ 😂😂😂😂 she’s so iconic though 😂😂 I look at how glamorous and classy she is and I love her 🤷🏽‍♀️

"Next" What a great lesson I learned from her... when shi* don't turn out the way you expected.... NEXT!!!!!!! Love it!!!

Barbara- why do you think people think you're a bitch ? Diana-because I'm just like YOU! Lol

Love, love, her. She is the original diva Pop Queen. Strength and beauty. She was a good mother because all of her kids turned out well.

Diana is a true icon, diva, a boss and strikingly beautiful

Diana Ross is just timeless to me. When she performed in the rain it was just beautiful how she carried on so graceful.

Diana Ross has a really strong work ethic that I greatly admire.

Diana is no female dog, nor a jerk. Women who have standards, like Diana, are princesses, made to rule! Better yet, she is a Queen! :)

Wow. Diana Ross had a beautiful figure. I always thought she was super-skinng BUT she does have hips. She's got better looking as she's aged.

Diana and Michael even talk the same and act the same. It's amazing.

It's easy to fall in love with her. Just listening to her talk and how she thinks.

I love Diana Ross. She was and still is an elegant woman and she will always be the original pop queen in my eyes. She put Babara in her place in this interview when she tried to make Diana Ross look less relevant than what she is. Even if she was not as succesful in the late 1980´s as she was before she was already a legend here and when you have had much succes for many years it does not matter that much if your albums dont sell that well or you dont get much airplay. Diana did establish herself as a pop queen and a diva early in her career and she has been that way since she was young and she is still in the media today and people respect her very much now. :)

MS.DIANA ROSS IS THE REAL POP QUEEN

So fabulous, this woman is a godess

Hmmm why some people are jealous of Diana Ross? She's beautiful

I will always love this Woman.

Many times when there is a singing group. One person is going to stand out. Looks, voice quality, etc. Dianna Ross is these qualities. Looks, class and voice quality.

Diana Ross to me looks her best here. Lovely and natural. Ladies we need just a little to look good we' re all beautiful. Its a bad heart that makes one ugly.

*Ms. Ross will ALWAYS be a class act & legendary!. Also a great mom!.*

Happy 80th birthday today Miss Ross I came to watch this I believe you had been 45 yrs young time flies but, your more beautiful than ever . Continued Blessings 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

I saw this interview when it first aired and can't thank Diana Ross enough showing her interllectual side as well as her fun side and s little business. Acumen, full of class, style, finesse ,sense of humor ,and down to earth sense of self just love this woman

I do not know Diana personally, but I do like her for her talent and for the person she has shown herself to be. What woman, in this day and age, can raise ONE child, let alone FIVE, successfully? Five children who love their mother so very much and protect her as they do? How can anyone be such a fake and fraud in public, and not be the same at home? I absolutely despise people who make disparaging comments about others when they have no real knowledge to prove what they say. Go away Yosraz15.

When you interview these new singer rappers or whatever you want to call them, they can’t even tell you a complete sentence Or have a intellectual conversation with anyone.

She is so intelligent, elegant, poised, graceful... a pleasure to watch and listen. Diana ♥

Damn damn damn I just LOVE HER!! She is the EPITOME OF A STRONG BRILLIANT DRIVEN WOMAN! I'm so honored to be named after her!!

A good mother to me is one that prioritizes: quality time spent with her children; separating the work time/mode from family time/giving of her total mind and being available to her children when she is present! That mother, like many mothers is definitely Diana Ross; I have heard her say this many times in interviews and her children have said the same! They never felt slighted or had to compete for her time! It’s all about quality, not quantity, priorities and balance! You can tell that she took care of herself, so that she could take care of her children! So many mothers forget this! I respect her so much!❤️❤️

love her music, she is beautiful

Lol, guys it was Barbaras job to ask tough questions....it was great to see how Diana handled herself. We dont wanna see a totally fluffy interview. We can watch Kelly Ripa and Ellen for that. Barbara asks some tougher questions... She wasn’t disrespectful, just dug a bit deeper. Bravo to them both. Diana is a pro and a Legend.

She is so beautiful.

There’s ONLY ONE MISS Ross!!!!! Nobody before nor since, has done what she did, how she did it! What a LEGEND. And how young she was here, and yet so mature, grounded, and responsible she was at this time in her life. Mother. Business woman. Entrepreneur. And only like 40 something here. ASTOUNDING

Wow that force. Diana is a treasure... poised....and beautiful.

Diana here at 45, Beyoncé at 42 on tour with House genre albums…

I request that in my presence!!!!

Diana set Barbara ass straight. Love how Barbra kept it moving. LOL!! She better recognize.

I have loved Diana Ross since I saw her in Lady Sings The Blues, in 1972 when I was 7 years old and I'll love her forever!

Thank you for posting this interview. It was very upbeat, honest, and revealing. Barbara knows how to get answers, and is not shy about asking the sensitive questions. And, Diana, after having to babies in a little over a year, looks AMAZING! It was truly a positive in her life then. Unlike the comment I read below, I loved the Working Overtime album. I still do.

I went to see Miss Diana Ross at Deanza College in California. I was so fotunate to sit in her presence in the 7th row center. I brought a Woman of color that was just fired from her job of which she did not deserve... I could not turn my back on this Woman. I said, let us go out to a dinner of your choice and see a Mega Star... We left in friendship and kindness but to see Diana Ross, it was jaw dropping for me. When I was a child of maybe 8 or 9, I listened to a broken record player that had no sound, but I would put my ear down to the needle of Diana Ross and the Supremes... I listened to it so much and then the record player was just gone, I do not know where it went? They could have fixed it, but maybe they thought they should not. I do not know what more to say... but maybe 40 years later, I had the privilege to see Miss Diana Ross on Stage front and center. I Thank you... mark...

I love Diana! Among the GREATS such as TINA, Aretha, Gladys, Dolly, Babs....etc etc. We see her influence in Mariah, Janet. Beyonce, and we seen it in Whitney. Diana is great. So glad I had seen her Live, and she was great!

This woman is an all time enigma. Ageless, legendary and always re-inventing herself. I salute her. Moreso, I love her because she was very kind to the Late Michael Jackson. So kind that MJ was willing to make her the foster parent of his kids in case MJ's mum was no more available.

Diana always been a cute girl but the older she gets the better she looks,I'm in love with her big beautiful hair that's obviously her trademark hairstyle.and I love that picture on the wall of her and the daughters,I'm a fan and I love her and she has beautiful kids.

I was born in 1989, I grew up listening to Diana Ross's songs. I remember seeing her on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and a lot of her songs are some of my favorites. Seeing her in this, I've noticed that she's got big, beautiful eyes and she's aged rather gracefully.

From a teenager I always admired Diana and she is very intelligent not only beautiful and I admire the fact that she wanted children and she is sticking to her commitment and her career and she is blessed I love it I love it I love it.

Love you Diva Diana, you are everything fabulous, poised, confident, strong and POWERFUL!!!!!! NO NEED TO EXPLAIN YOUR EXCELLENCE to anyone!!!

'Dedicated to you....gonna cross that thin line...hope you don't disapprove"

SHE'S ELEGANT AND A FAN HERE

I love diana ross! Ive her book, read it often . Lovely person very wise and talented!

Diana was woman’s movement before it was that

Omg im so in love. Such an inspiration.

Wish we could have seen more of the house. She looks so regal and beautiful.

Diana Ross the Boss. She’s a beautiful person.

She is beautiful 🌷🌹🌟

ONE OF THE GREATEST ❤️👑

she is so gorgeous - and that voice, even when she speaks

A true star.......

Diana is pure class.

I just want to know what kind of bundles Diana got in her head. Her hair is beautiful! She is beautiful.

Go Aries, 🔥 sign , someone always picking. Set her straight so sweetly.💜💜💗💗💗👏👏👏👏

THE DIVINE DIANA ROSS !!! IT WAS WONDERFUL WHEN DIANA ROSS SINGS TOGETHER WITH DAVID RUFFIN.........

Diana is a very focused,determined,aggressive women driven by tenacity......She had a dream/desire to be successful solo artist lng before founding the surpremes....when they signed with motown.....Was not long before Diana put her plan in action....Central Park was her pinnnical n once she achieved her goal....she turned her attention to the personal....her career became secondary to a marriage n more children.

This was 1989 you got the date right and thanks for sharing this with us. Diana looked so hot here!

" . . . because I'm just like you!" . . . I guess Diana told Barbara.

The Boss

Correct! Barbara is being smart when she is pressing her lips together & nodding sarcastically, but unassumingly. Thus, Diana smartly zings her back unassumingly....so if I am a bitch, then so are YOU! In that era being Black & having a massive crossover appeal could get you disliked by some of your own for being not culturally authentic. Conversely, those in the dominant culture have felt as though she was challenging them & their ego. Yet, Diana can handle herself.

She is amazing woman 😫💕

Barbra asking all dem crazy questions

Women can have it all. A career and family. Serena Williams proved this.playing in the 2018 Wimbledon Championship. Love Miss Ross

its so crazy how the questions shes asking her seem so innapropriate, i dont think she could get away with them these days which is nice :)

Jeeshhh - Walters always looking for dirt ! Its surprising that Diana granted her so many interviews. Well, Diana held control in every interview and was the amazing diva that she is - so that's why. Walters pales and fades in the blinding aura of Miss Ross. Truth prevails and Diana is unbeatable.

No doubt that she is the epitome of glamour. As talented as she is, as a performer and as a businesswoman, she just never seemed to really reach her full potential. From an artistic standpoint, I was always left thinking that there was just a little bit more to her...that the image was more important to her then the substance of her work.

Опбаяние, ангельский голос и женственность как она есть. 😍🤩❤️❤️🌟🙏

I really hope...to put across ... much of what Diana's standards and principles are...when I launch out on my Tribute Mimic Shows. I'm taking this all on board - as I 'walk in her shoes' and remember the way to move on up is 'Next' !! XX

The BOSS MS. DIANA ROSS BLESSED LOVES HER. .....🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤💛❤😍❤💛😘

Rest In Peace legend 🕊️

I totally agree with you 100%....on all accounts....And I'm sick of all the negativity on YT towards Diana Ross, written by people who don't even know the person, and base what they "think" they know on what they've read in poorly written rubbish-books. If these people don't like her then they should stay away from her videos!

Can never understand how Barbare Walters is so successful... she is a very ordinary interviewer

She looks so pretty with her hair like that.

"Are you breastfeeding your babies?" WTF?! That's none of your damn business, Baba Wawa. Sheesh!

I'm forever team Diana Ross

How did she have the energy to do everything, a long career, infighting within the Supremes, several award winning movies, 5 kids and countless shows. She didn't do drugs and she didn't seem to eat or sleep a lot.

She doesn't have the strongest or best voice but she's a real entertainer.

She is wedded to the spotlight and being the centre of attention. It's her oxygen. Its what drives her. It's what motivated all her relationships. She loves her work. Image is everything to her. She carefully controls it. The reason some people call her a bitch is not because she's strong (which she is) but because in some instances it's true that she's not fair and she doesn't care. She has an "everything's fair in love and war" attitude and some people become casualties of it. She is ruthless and cut throat and won't apologise for her ambition. I guess there are many men who are the same but maybe they are not criticised this way.

I love her so much and her voice. #Detroit #Motown

Under Rated Diana vs Over Rated Barbara

I’ve always thought the Central Park concert spoke volumes for her rise at Motown. She’s the epitome of what they were trying to accomplish in their Artists and Development department. Paying the price at any cost…

Fantastic, I think it's time for another Barbara Walters interview to bring us up to date!

....she is a target cause she is remarkable, kinda sad.

Best Miss Ross interview of ALL time

I hear Michael in her voice

Diana Ross can I just tell you how much I love you all of my life

This is divine ❤️

Опбаяъние, ангельский голос и женственность как она есть. 😍🤩❤️❤️🌟🙏

Diana might have the house the money etc but hell she has earned it. Many wralthy people come into it snd have never done a hard days work in their life those are the people we dont think deserve it.......
