Diana Ross and Lionel Richie Disappoint Fans


Last year Lionel Richie went off on stage after Diana Ross went to Beyoncé's birthday concert, rather than appear with him to sing their blockbuster duet, "Endless Love [click here if you missed that ]."

Recently Richie and Ross performed at the same festival and Diana STILL refused to sing with him...

Soul music fans in Los Angeles are still talking about the Fool in Love Festival held August 31st.
The day — cut down from two to one — brought together dozens of classic soul artists each of whom performed for about 20 minutes. They included Gladys Knight, Al Green, Chaka Khan, and Santana.
Most fans complained that the festival was “chaotic” and that it took place not in a theater or a stadium, but a parking lot.
Top billed for the day were Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, former Motown labelmates who had a smash hit back in 1981 with the song “Endless Love.” Richie wrote the song for the movie of the same title. The movie was a bust but the song has gone on to be covered hundreds of times.
It did seem from the advertising that Ross and Richie would sing together. But fans were disappointed to learn that the two singers don’t speak to each and don’t sing their famous duet ever. They each have performed it in solo shows, though, so it’s not that there aren’t charts for the musicians.
But Ross appeared at 8pm for a medley of hits. Richie came on at 9:30pm. But no “Endless Love” from either of them.

She’s always been a pain. No one at Motown liked her. Guess she never learned how to get along with people.

Idk why he wants to sing with her anyway. I’d rather hear him than her.

I’m sure they can find someone else who can sing it better than Ms. Ross. I understand she’s an Icon but that voice was never one to fall out of a chair for! 😂. I guess we’re going to pretend like she didn’t sleep her way to the top to achieve some of her accolades. So many actual talented female singers who can match Mr. Ritchie’s tone would love to do this duet with him.
I’ve never really cared for Diana Ross because of how she treated her former group members.
Mrs. Knowles-Carter has the same stank attitude towards her so called sisters, Kelly and Michelle. These bytches really are a piece of work. I hate hearing about how they are behind the scenes but it definitely reminds me to keep my money in my pocket to support another artist who is all about the music. This me, me, me, it’s all about me is annoying.
