Diana Ross hatin' on Tina Turner

What's the beef? Anyone know their history? Or is Ms Ross just being her usual bitchy self?

Maybe she knows Tina has more talent in her little finger than she has in her whole body?

She sensed she had been supplanted as Gen X's favorite black female survivor of the '60s music scene.

There are a million ways to interpret that brief glance.

Wouldn't read anything into those 3 seconds, OP. But here's my take:

1. Tina gets into character as she moves towards the microphone to sing her part. The little head moves, squaring her shoulders. That's Anna Mae transforming into Tina Turner.

2. Diana is focused; that's a look of concentration, not a resting bitch face. She's reading the score, and together with the others, she moves away from the microphone when it's Tina's turn.

Billy Joel looked cute there.

When this was filmed, Tina was on top of the world and Diana…wasn’t. Diana was aware of this.

However, Miss Ross was a Close, Personal Friend of the one and only Michael Jackson, which makes her one of the VIPs on a room full of VIPs.

Advantage? Turner.

Looking at Tina walk to the mic is not being a bitch

PATHETIC. Some of you guys will project drama into anything.

They both have had great careers. I don’t think they feuded. Diana has had a great career, 18 #1 songs, Academy Award buzz and was in demand. Tina Turner had an equally strong career.

I remember watching Oprah’s Legend Ball. Diana and Tina hung out/seated next to each other.

I don’t see anything negative in OP’s video except people projecting their own nastiness and drama. Give it a break.

I heard she eats eyelashes.

Diana eats up assistants with such anger. She is a cunt. A beautiful and talented one though. She likes them white just like Tina does. Diana was swirling before it became a thing.

I can’t compare these two, other than both being black female singers.

One did rock and a bit of pop, the other soul and a bit if pop.

We Are The World is the worst song of the 80s.

Is "The Birdy Song" from the 1980s?

At 4:55 Stevie Wonder is singing with his sunglasses on and Bruce Springsteen joins in. Can you see the hatin’ look Stevie gives Bruce?

DL haters are gonna hate.

That's not a happy look she's giving her. It's one of disdain.

The real Diane is very chill/laid back. She's very focused, observant, and business-like. Her "sparkle, Shirley, SPARKLE!!" persona is just part of the act. Per the J. Randy Tarraborelli book, she once got into a cab in Manhattan with a reckless driving cabbie. She cursed him out for his driving whereupon the cabbie goes "Say, ain't you Diana Ross?" to which she replied "NO I'M NOT DIANA ROSS! I'M A WHOLE LOT TOUGHER! AND IF YOU DON'T SLOW THIS GODDAMN CAB DOWN YOU'RE GONNA SEE WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!"

Ross stepped on a lot of necks on her way up yhe ladder. She spat in plenty of eyes to stay at the top for as long as she did. Folks know she's been ruthless in her career choices.

R26, that’s not ruthless; it’s nasty

by Anonymousreply 27December 15, 2022 11:56 PM

No. She was ruthless, and she had been encouraged by Gordy to be ruthless. Naturally a very strong competitor, she was in it to win it every minute. Whitney on Diana.

Not a reliable source. Shady. He lifted paragraphs from a friend's book on Marilyn Monroe to put in his.

Tina's onetime personal assistant and BFF Eddie Hampton Armani was present at one brief backstage meeting between the two in the early 80's and detailed it in his tell-all book...

the way Diana AND Billy both looked at Tina = big loud fart.

Women had it bad in the music industry. They were pitted against each other because not many made it super big until Madonna or controlled their careers like Madonna (who had no choice with Warner Bros being a truly shit record company). Record companies planted unflattering stories about the competition.

The men are worse divas.
