diana ross is a living legend and i do mean legend,she is the ultimate diva she invented the name,she is a true icon and a trailblazer who broke down racial barriers with her unique voice,only people who are of a limited intellect would even contemplate that beyonce is in the same league as miss ross,in the fullness of time beyonce will be forgotten while diana ross will always be rememberd,none of beyonces music is memorable and has a five second lifespan while miss ross has one of the greatest back catalogues ever in music.yes beyonce does have a more powerful voice than miss ross but there are a thousand singers like her who all sound the same,no one ever sounded like diana ross,the voice of miss ross is unique,power does not make for great singing,some of the greatest vocalists in history did not have particularly powerful voices,ella ,saragh vaughn,peggy lee,nina simone,billie holliday,dusty springfield to name just a few and diana ross is alongside them,beyonce will be alongside the madonnas,britneys of this world,sad but true.as for acting beyonce has no screen prescence and she is very limited,diana ross is an awsome actress just one play of lady sings the blues will confirm this,but in a world where some people thought the bodyguard was a good film i am proberbley wasting my time.
