Diana Ross

[CaledonianGonzo]

She should go for broke and bring out Nile, Lionel and Barry. The goddamn treble.

Don't. Don't toy with me. That would be too much.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Of all people the three of them would likely be up for it.

All of them clearly have been affected by smashing important gigs at the G.

[Zacko]

Why stop at those three? Steps saunter out for Chain Reaction as well. The place erupts. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Clearly a cover that resonated deeply with some people.. ..but maybe not universally.

Just sayin...

I mean I do find it very weird both of them were in the area / still are going to be in the area.

Dionne’s touring the UK late June and seems to be free on the Sunday/Monday. Lionel’s in Germany over the weekend but free on the Sunday. It wouldn’t be impossible for him to shoot over for a brief appearance, but realistically it’s unlikely

The Sun again

DIANA’S BIG DAY

DIANA ROSS’s legends slot at Glastonbury is expected to be so popular, organisers are thinking of making the Pyramid Stage area bigger for the first time ever.

The Supremes singer will perform on the Sunday, after a two-year Covid delay.

Organiser Emily Eavis said: “I can’t think of anyone who won’t go and see Diana Ross. We’ve been waiting a long time for this.”

 

Wonder when/why (the wonderwhy) she said that.

Didn't they extend the field for The Stones?

Yes. So they're either wrong or making up bollocks again. I suspect the latter, I don't think Emily would have said that, knowing full well that there will be dozens of acts on other stages at the same time and that statement would be a bit of a kick in the teeth for them.

So... (once again) fuck the Sun and everyone who reads it.

[henry bear]

I think Emily did say something similar, but in regards to the 2020 festival, although I guess the point still stands if it’s in relation to Diana.

But yes, fuck The Sun.

[the wonderwhy]

I probably wont go and see D Ross tbh 

[dentalplan]

I did find the thing about them extending the field plausible and just about worth mentioning. Even if it’s not the first one ever, I guess it could happen.

I doubt I’ll be there either. Tbh I doubt it’ll be as big a crowd as Kylie got.

Pretty much the only act worth seeing at Glasto 2022 aside from Tribes and you’re gonna miss her to watch Japanese Breakfast 😂😂😂

What if she's on at the same time as Tribes

Then I’d obviously miss her. Speaking of them, Johnny Lloyd posted that they’re announcing more Tribes shows soon. Gonna be the biggest thing of 2022.

[henry bear]

Diana played her first show for 2 years recently, at Universal Orlando Mardi Gras.

• My World Is Empty Without You (The Supremes song)
• Where Did Our Love Go (The Supremes song)
• Baby Love (The Supremes song)
• Stop! In the Name of Love (The Supremes song)
• Come See About Me (The Supremes song)

Thank God she's dropped her cover of I Will Survive. Still blighted by medleys though.

[Matt42]

Yeah medleys should just be banned. 

No good can come from them. 

[Deacon]

She mimed most of the show. Meh.

Any proof of this? Would suck if true. Dolly was fun, but half way through I just felt disappointed because of it felt like she was. 

[Deacon]

Just youtube diana ross 2022 and there vids on there, just quick skim through and reading comments can tell.

[FakeEmpire]

I've just watched a few of the videos, she's not miming. There's a vocal backing track that she's singing over but that's pretty standard for these sort of artists and is less obvious on a big stage.

There's a video of Thank You where the backing track is a lot louder than on the classics (presumably because she's more likely to forget the words) and she's visibly trying to point out that her mic isn't working properly and she can't be heard over the backing track.

Videos of I'm Coming Out, Chain Reaction etc. are clearly live vocals. Not a Dolly situation here.
