I don't think I've ever listened to the original in full. I know Diana Ross is some kind of legend and her voice is, apparently, decent but I've never been able to consider her a "great voice" after watching the Diva's Live 2000 performance... I realise she was 60 or so and had probably been splashing in a bath full of champagne before coming out on stage. I've heard some of her other songs like Upside Down, and I'm Coming Out etc and she sounds alright but I'd rather listen to Aretha sing anything NOW than listen to Diana Ross try to sing a ballad.
No, Diana Ross could never sing. She sounds like a white girl. She lucked out that she got some great singles written for her, but she was more of a J.Lo type artist, her success didn't really have anything to do with her.
