On June 9th, 2010, at 8pm at the Los Angeles 'Nokia' theater, Miss Diana Ross brought her 'I love you more today, than yesterday' tour into town with full force.
Entering on a multi-tiered stage by way of a hydraulic lift before descending a winding staircase like a queen primped for a ball. The Superstar Diva showed off her enviable physique in a colorful array of glamorous dresses, fancy wraps and feather boas that would've made a fashion designer blush. She struck poses, shook hands and blew kisses. The cheerful legend basked in the overwhelming adulation, flashing constant smiles and interacting with the crowd.
Diana also brought the hits and material that spanned decades of dominant pop tastes. Miss Ross touched on disco, R&B, jazz and soul, counting on a slick 18-piece band to process the changes. Projected beautiful visuals of period videos and photos framed multiple songs trends and artistry.
Touching on her early days as a member of the most famous girl group in history, The Supremes, Miss Ross sang chart topping hits, such as, 'Reflection, Forever came today, Love child,' and the most famous Supreme hit ever, 'Stop in the name of love,' transitioning into her early solo hits, 'Touch me in the morning, Theme from Mahogany,' into her first number one solo hit, 'Ain't no mountain high enough,' before bringing down the house with her on flavored rendition of 'I will survive.'
As the show was coming to it's finale, Miss Ross ordered the house lights to be turned up so that she was able to good a glimps of the audience and then introduced her family, as well as extended Motown family to the adorning fans, starting with the man who "made it all happen for her," Berry Gordy jr.,
At the show's finale, the house lights, once again fell black and appeared on the screen, again, was Diana, but this time singing duet with the King of Pop, myself, Michael Jackson.
But, before singing her top 10 hit, 'Missing you' and her rendition of 'You are not alone,' Miss Ross had a special surprise for the audience, by introducing Michale's children to the Ross fans, where the kids were greeted with a standing O!
This was the best concert I've witnessed this year. My one and only wish was that the new up and coming female, as well as male artist of this generation could have attended ti witness real entertainment at it realness, because Ross kept it very REAL.
Bravo, Miss Ross......Bravo!
