Diva Canon #7: DIANA ROSS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

DIANA FACTS:

Her middle name is 'Ernestine'.

She used to sh4g Gene Simmons out of KISS.

She once served a two-day jail sentence.

She is actually a MERMAID hence the fishtail dresses.

The original diva (if you don't count Marie Antoinette) made sure she had a separate credit on pretty much every song she appeared on for maximum importance. As such, I have only included singles where Diana is named separately. I nearly made this a smaller, Supremes-only poll, but the whole point of canonizing is to weed the wheat from the chaff, and there's certainly a lot of chaff down here. EIGHTEEN ticks? Ndoobedoobedoo!

I've never understood how her version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough was so successful. I think it's terrible, especially when compared to the Marvin/Tammi version.

And the unsung Supremes song that wasn't in the bonus section is "Love Is Like an Itching In My Heart". Terrible title, but an amazing track.
