Agreed. "Comparing is never good", (Diana Ross, Secrets Of A Sparrow).

I seem to remember hearing Gladys Knight saying they were both very young and all was forgiven.

@@rjk8008 that's exactly what she said.

Thanks , you saved me some typing

Only in your dreams 😂... Gladys Knight is not better than Diana Ross... She's just more blacker ... Not that anything's wrong with that, Diana Ross makes more money and sings to an international audience. Gladys Knight can't hold that .

The Original Beyonce.

@@PoliticalFunk007Ok, as a black person those are the kind of vocals I want to hear considering the price of concert tickets these days. I’m not paying that kind of money for a “hint” of singing talent.

@@ericcain138 That's YOUR personal taste, but internationally across the globe, it's another story. If I only want to hear Knights type of voice, I can go to most black churches on any given Sunday and hear a similarity for free. One thing you constantly hear about Ross is that her voice is unique. That uniqueness has earned her millions that Gladys cannot imagine. It's what she does to a song, its lyrics, and the phrasing that puts her over the top. Not only that, you cannot find a singer who's more versatile than her in repertoire and genres. Down home gritty singing has its place, but give me the nuance, vocal color, and sensitivity of Diana. Now that's MY personal taste.

The whole world knows that Diana Ross cannot sing she's even said it herself that she's not half as good as many other famous black artists if she's your type yes you want to hear her but anybody I know from here all around the United States I know many people in different areas and out of the country would prefer to hear Gladys Knight any day Gladys Knight is also an international star in fact she's probably more relevant right now because she's more relevant in music Still I believe that Diana Ross's where does Diana Ross even do anything anymore

Everybody knew he was talking about Diana Ross.

Wasn't the word on the street that Diana groomed MJ?

Diana. The princess of whale’s ? A lot of knew he was talking about Diana Ross. Diana Ross as always been shady.

@@tamara_diamonds422of whales you mean lol

Noone thought Michael wrote that song about Diana, Princess of Wales. Where did you get that information?

Glorify Gladys ? .😄... "It's not a testament to Gladys' legacy to continue complaining, even after 60 years, about Diana Ross allegedly getting her kicked off a tour. It only diminishes her image. Diana Ross, being the bigger star, has chosen not to discuss the matter. However, if she were to share her side of the story, it might shed light on what really happened to lead to Gladys Knight's dismissal from the tour. From my understanding, young Gladys Knight wasn't entirely innocent. It's quite audacious to speak negatively about the featured act, especially when both parties were benefiting from her presence. Gladys badmouthing Diana Ross to her crew, which eventually reached Diana, resulted in her asserting her authority. Considering it was her show and she was the headliner, it's not surprising that Gladys' actions led to long-term resentment"

EXACTLY 💯

Hurting someone can cause deep permanent scares....retelling the facts doesn't mean they are holding grudges...just know who they are...it's best to distance yourself from an evil person.

@@feleciamorris3197 if one distances themselves from something, they wouldn't constantly reiterate those things that caused them pain. They'd be too busy living their life to be consumed by it.

I read that Gladys refused to be on Motown 25 because she didn’t want to be in Diana’s shadow yet one more time. 💡

Yes! That's true! Nevertheless, Gladys Knight had been deeply hurt.I guessed she felt like she was raped.Can you tell a woman who had been raped to move on when the event is still in her memories?

Lies, Rhonda Ross Kendrick was not hidden as you said. She is in her fifties and she has known that Berry Gordy's was her biological father for at least 40 years now.

no... they kept telling you that she was beautiful... truth was... she was shaped like a well dressed no. 2 pencil... the woman was in bad need of a hamburger... mary was the beautiful one....

​@@jaye501she was shaped like a model what's w=ong with that? Body shaming because she was petite

​@@jaye501🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣OOOOOOOOOMMMNNMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WELL DRESSED LIKE A NO. 2 PENCIL!!!!!! AND MARY WAS A LIVING, REAL LIFE, DOLL, PERIODT!!!!!

@@jaye501 Mary was the beauty, Flo was the vocal beast. Berry turned her mic down and told the camera crew to focus on Ross. That played a major role. He shoved diana ross down your throat.

@@beb5407 no one was shaped like that back in the day. Luckily twiggy came out and almost made it cool to be so bony. Almost. Even Diana Ross didn’t wanna be that thin.

Omg I know.

Beyoncé is an evil

Destiny's Child could not touch the hem of THE SUPREMES' gowns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were in different leagues.

Maybe it was Joe ....she didn't like him....and he said and I quote "Ike Turner was a hero of his".... I personally think these women ; Diana Ross ,Tina Turner ... And any other women have the right to not care for certain individuals that doesn't mean they are like that to everyone. FACTS 💯

@@PoliticalFunk007 I understand what you're saying. I just quoted what he said.

Yes dear, 💛 and I get it, you are correct, I heard that same story too .

But Beyoncé can sing !

Omg

Way better I never liked Diana Ross, & still don't like her.

Amen far more talent. Everyone knows Diana slept her way to the top there's no real talent there! She has been known to have s serious cocaine problem which made her incredibly erratic. I wouldn't doubt that she did more with MJ than just friends

@@pjt3887 No it was her talent that got her to be a International Superstar / Icon and again it her fans that put at the top not sleeping with anyone and this is the first I have heard of Diana using cocaine, I believe that you made that up 🤔

@@migrain45yes that was absolutely made up! Diana had a short lived drinking issue circa 2000 when Arne met a younger woman and then she had to support her young boys when he was killed on a mountain climbing expedition! She’s never been known to do cocaine! Jeez 🙄 people who don’t like Diana really do go in hard on her! But she always holds her council and remains dignified and poised. She is still only human after all! A beautiful Human though I have to say! Her loving children and her adoring fans are proof of that.

@@mickrobbo34 yes I remember that going on in 2000 and everything that you said was truth and on point and I think that she is awesome, have a great day my friend..🤗

"The interview with Gladys Knight discussing the tour from which Diana Ross allegedly kicked her off dates back 8 to 10 years. However, the tour itself occurred over 60 years ago. Knight has recounted this event numerous times, and it's unclear what she aims to achieve by doing so. Perhaps she wants to sway public opinion about Diana Ross based on actions from her late teens."

No. DONNA SUMMER

I agree. She's as beautiful as Gladys. She looks so much like her!

@@victorbrowne204 I can see that. I can see both but I never considered Donna Summer. Good eye.

Kelly Rowland does not sing like Gladys Knight nowhere near you could probably get a man to do Gladys Knight

Black men are still prejudice and brainwashed against darker skinned sisters.

Diana is a superstar!

DIANA!!! And she still does.

Superstar movie 🌟 Ms Diana Ross The Boss Endless Love❤❤ Always good music ain't about how loud ucan sing it's about content and message, and Diana Ross always paved the the way with a great message❤❤12#1 Hits and 8solos hits America and 10#top 1 and top international Hits all over the world way before the internet, just imagine if there where internet then, she would still be Coming Out...watch out she's Coming Out❤❤❤❤

Diana... I love Gladys , but as Freda Payne said, Diana in the 60s and 70s was the IT girl.

@@richardrichard9631 I didn't know that Freda said that, but if anyone could have been jealous of Diana, Freda could have been one. But Freda knew the truth, and true greatness recognizes greatness. Patti and Aretha both gave Diana her props and they are greater than any of these haters on these comments.

Barry was very married at the time!

@@pjt3887 Yes , Berry Gordy was married which makes it even more disgusting.

​He did not stay married to his ex wife ​@@Winnib7479 you are jealous.... Because the DL men that you mess with don't really want you past the hook up that's disgusting and sad .....at least king Gordy fell in love with Diana Ross and made her the Queen of Motown ...and everybody knew it❤🎶🎵💯💪🏿.

BS Gladys Knight is not 🚫 more established than Diana Ross that's a lie ... STOP LYING JUST TO PROVE A POINT.... GLADYS KNIGHT HAS HAD MANY DIFFERENT MEN ....AND 4 of them were failed marriages. and countless affairs. Why you not talking about that?

Exactly! Diana didn't care. All she saw were dollar signs. 💲💲💲

Correct!

Correct and he didn't need Florence Mary or Gladys! Diana was the key to his dream.

Berry Did not need Diana, he already made it, With the Contours, Smokey Robinson, Berrett Strong, and the Isley Brothers. All of these groups were already famous before Diana Ross ever came along, Florence Ballard was a better singer and entertainer. Berrey had the Temptations, Stevie Wonder Rich James, and The Jackson Five, and every song Diana song was written by Motown and any of the women at Motown could have delivered her music, Tammy Terrell Marthe Reves, and Mary Wells. The reason Diana was so famous is that Berry pushed her career while holding back on other artists' careers.

Berry had The Supremes, Tempts, Gaye, Miracles (especially Smokey), excellent producers and songwriters and so many other acts and Diana had the Supremes and Temptations so I need to understand what you mean. Please extrapolate.

You're absolutely right! Diana Ross and Berry Gordy had a special connection and needed each other to achieve their respective successes. Diana's incredible talent and Berry's visionary leadership were a perfect match. Together, they created magic and made a significant impact on the music industry. It's amazing how collaboration and support can make dreams come true! 🎶✨

The last time I checked, she's still going strong, and she's an icon among people of all ages. Many young people today don't know any artists that are older than 50 let alone someone who is almost 80. Mention Gladys Knight, and they'll say "who"???? Let's see what happens when you're 80.🤥

Screwing didn’t get her to the top, her talent did. Berry knew which voice was going to stand apart. He also knew which singer had the drive to make his company a huge success. He pushed Diana hard because he wanted success as much as she did. This was a meant intent to succeed and he knew the way to do that was with Diana. Without her talent and drive, Motown never would’ve been what it was, and black artists wouldn’t have had as many doors opened for them. Flo was raped as a teen and never recovered emotionally. Berry likely knew that no matter how good her voice, it wasn’t crossover material. We already had Aretha covering that base. Diana’s voice was different. Berry also likely knew that Flo was a broken person and didn’t have the mental fortitude to do what needed to be done to get the success he wanted. He has said that he and Diana wanted the same thing, and they both prioritized that over their relationship. Again, it wasn’t the sex that made her successful, it was the voice and drive. None of this is to say that Diana did or did not treat people well. With so many stories out there, it’s clear that she wasn’t going to be stopped. Had she been a man, no one would’ve batted an eye. The proof there is that you don’t hear people criticizing Berry’s role in all of this. He was half of a package deal. If you’re gonna blame her, well, blame him too. But don’t forget that this was business, and in business, success comes first. Why do you think Gladys is so pissed? She was in it for the business part too, and even after Motown she still couldn’t achieve the success Diana did. If Gladys were such an angel, she’d move on and stop the gossip, but she’s apparently still caught up in the past. Let it go, Gladys.

Yeah that why Diana’s Voice lead to the group the best selling female group of all time. Having 12 #1 singles in the 1960 were it was hard for black entertainers. Because of Diana voice it made millions for a lot of people especially the writers . But oh no let’s put a black woman that can scream and holler. Not someone that was driven . And boy did it pay off. Thank you Diana. Screw the rest of these low IQ critics

@@user-ig5sc5mv1r I couldn’t agree more. And for anyone who really knows her catalog of music, her voice in the 60s only hinted at the breadth of her vocal power and expressiveness. Other “better” singers from the 60s stuck largely within the vocal range and approach they had early on. When you consider the many different stages of Diana’s career, it’s incredible how she could change her vocal to match so many genres. This woman truly knows how to sing.

@@NYCMark6275 Very well said Mark, I couldn't have said it better myself and like you said people don't understand that it is not who Diana decided to sleep with it is the fans that like/ love Diana's music, movies and concerts that make her famous..😉

@@migrain45 Thank you. And yes, exactly. It’s the fans. They keep showing up and she is about the most gracious singer out there. A true gem. I have no doubt she’s tough, but given what women of her age, and particularly black women, are up against in this society, I applaud her for finding a way to make an incredible life for herself, while also making the world a much better place.

Glady's sing circles around Diane

If she can sing circles around legendary Diana Ross then why doesn't she do? I'm sure she would wish that she had Diana Ross's money 💰 @@T-KO2010 Diana Ross is worth a quarter of a billion dollars for singing. I doubt Gladys Knight is even worth 10 million dollars and that's being generous.

@@T-KO2010 not in the real world troll 😂😂😂

Because you’re on a hate train with hearsay information. Florence got in her own way. Mary got bitter. No one talks about how Diana helped Mary get a house not once but TWICE. Diana was there for Mary when she lost her son. Diana Set up a trust fund for Flos kids and also spoke to Flo over the phone many months before her death.. she assisted Cindy financially and is helping Cindy during her last days as well now. We were all young once. Grow up.

You have no Heaven or Hell to throw Diana Ross to Sir! God Only!

What exactly did she do to Flo? Are you not aware of Mary’s part in Flo’s departure from the group? Who was it who first said that something needed to be done about Flo’s behaviour in the group? Who groomed Cindy to replace Flo, for a whole year behind her back? Who was it who had the final say on whether Flo should stay or leave? I’m not saying what Mary did was wrong, but stop casting the blame solely on Diana…but the first blame should always be on Flo’s shoulders. She was out of control for many reasons outside of the group’s politics

Dirty Diana...she even hurt MJ .

that's because you clearly do not understand the wide scope of show BUSINESS. she did nothing to Florence didn't in the end Flo didn't ALLOW.

Gladys knight go back in your Cave til Winters over and leave my girl alone😢😮 We❤❤ Diana Ross 2024/25 and always so catch the midnight train to Georgia and I'm sure you taking it many times, this time u stay Gladys and find the Pips😢😮😅

Young has nothing to do with it as a child you know right from wrong. Diana Slept with Berry to get to the top, and whatever she said Berry gave her. She knew what she was doing. She changed because she felt guilty. And her daughter is just like her she slept with Kenya Barris knowing the man was married. The name Ross had in the show Rainbow was his wife's name. Apples don't fall far from the tree.

Read my message thoroughly. Then you'll understand my point. The message definitely wasn't about giving anyone a pass. Thanks.

I’ve never seen or heard ANYTHING of diana ross accepting responsibility.

Superstar Movie 🌟 America favorite diva Ms Diana Ross❤❤❤ now and forever 2024/25 Yes Saint Laruent girl of the 21st century❤💕🌟🌞🥰🥰😻

Sorry, but Diana Ross has, had, THE pop black voice of our dreams, and it was, is perfect! Just ask boy George and friends!

But Sheryl lee Ralph also recognized that being young and scared was an impulse of remaining successful. Therefore, when Diana Ross and Sheryl lee Ralph ran into each other years later, they shared that experience of understanding. Today, she loves Ms. Ross.

Sorry but Flo had many other personal problems including drinking too much which had an effect on the group and that was not Diana's fault.

Flo did not start the group. The manager of the Primes wanted a female group to compliment the male group as was the trend in the 60s. The first person he recruited was Flo. So please check your facts.

@@richardrichard9631 Flo was the first member of the Primettes and asked by Milton Jenkins to find some other girls who could sing. She invited Mary Wilson. I believe Paul Williams suggested diane ross.

@ceeceetracey9839 thank you. That's how I read it in books etc

@@richardrichard9631 no problem

In 1964, Diana Ross turned 21 when "Where Did Our Love Go" became the first number one hit. This means she was recording as a teenager when they signed her in 1961. It's amazing to think about her early success in the music industry! 🎶✨Over 60 years ago!

Thank you for saying this. 50 plus years and Ms. Knight still seems bitter and maybe jealous. I like them both. But Ms. Ross is my favorite.

Royal stock would never have had to sleep with Berry Gordy or marry well off white men.

What classify them as royal stock?

Only difference…. Bey has supreme talent, beyond a regular singer (no pun intended)

And you are a classic jealous underachiever. @Tarzanman2009

Getting pregnant was a hold over Berry Gordy. My opinion.

Diana Ross in her younger days was catty because she wanted fame so bad but it was berry gordy who put her in pedistal

Berry gordy made her the way she is they both wanted fame and stardom

I adore Diana Ross always will

@@patriciamissie8763 Really? Facts? I’ll tell you the facts. Diana left the Supremes (Farewell show) on January 14th 1970. She was a huge superstar by that time. Their daughter, Rhonda, was born August 14th 1971, EIGHTEEN months AFTER Diana left. Getting pregnant was never a hold on Gordy.

No…. we all know Jacko lightened it up and gave his nose 👃 the Euro squish….. not to mention the fake chin clef etc…..

She slept with Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Eddie Kendricks, & she was Berry Gordy's side piece.

Point to the confirmation that she slept with Marvin Gaye. Y’all run with every little thing just because you hate her. And who she slept with is none of our business. It’s also funny because yall make it seem like she slept with these people all at once. Diana dated people, she wasn’t getting passed around constantly like that. Grow up

@@AlkalineInsides She had a book written about her life read it.

I get it, you love Gladys, and that's your right, but your love for her does not objectively take away from the great talent of Diana. Do you think that anyone you don't like should be canceled from the scene? How childish! smh

@rawvision6701 I am not a fan of either one of them. Let's get it straight. I don't own any of gladys knight's albums nor your lovely grandmother Diana Ross you're defending, fighting over. I'm not the only one who sees that evil side of her but people all over the world, including her own colleagues in that industry. There is something about her that has been capturing people's attention for years, even her own group members before they both died did not have the greatest collaboration with this lady. Diana would do anything in her power, by taking her clothes off, sleeping with tones of men in order to be ahead. She's very selfish, not to mention how provocative she was on stage back on her younger days. You're calling that class and talents? Tell me how many grammies she owned for someone who's been in that industry for 70 years? Zero....... Gladys night is a positive person. She owned many grammies and very classy. Loved by others. I'm not a fan of gladys night not even cherish her deep voice but at least she's a phenomenal human being. Your grandmother Diana is very selfish she only cares about herself. I've watched many of her interviews and documentaries on KZfaq. That's enough and plenty to learn about your grandmother, Diana Ross. You're surely in love that woman, you're adore her and I'm sure you have collected all of never heard albums that have never been published. It's obvious you're a great collector of her arts. Keep fighting over her.

b**** please

KNIGHT

Ross left a trust fund for Flo girls and Her (Flo s ) Husband ran Through all the money, the girls will have said that already.So don't believe that ross is that bad

Berry

You say that if it wasn't for Berry Gordy, You don't know that for sure.

Their daughter, Rhonda, was born 18 months after Diana left the group. Diana was a global solo superstar by that time. If it wasn’t for Diana, the group would NOT have been anything. None of the other girls had the commercial sound to make them the world’s number 1 girl group, only Diana.
