Showtune Sunday: Can Madonna’s Super Bowl show match the Diana Ross spectacular from 1996?
I’m biased.
Madonna could turn water into wine during her halftime show at the Super Bowl today and I still wouldn’t think she could hold a candle to the great Diana Ross.
Diana performed the 1996 half-time show and I watched it with a buncha guys at Ripples in Long Beach. Remember everything about her performance but not who won or who even played!
Oh, good grief.
So here is the spectacular Miss Ross treating the crowd to so many of her hits during a 12 minute show.
Enjoy it all over again!

Nobody has yet topped that helicopter exit. And she sang all her numbers live except for the very last one – Take Me Higher – the song that took her away in the helicopter. Now THAT’s a Diva.

comparing madonna to the supreme diva miss ross is futile,madonna is a creation of hype and the media while miss ross is a real legendery icon who did it all with raw talent and that truly beautiful unique singing voice,madonna is a cheap tramp and embaressing to say the least her music will in the fullness of time be forgotton while the music of diana ross will still be around in another 50 years,madonna is a lyp synching fake while diana has one of the all time legendrey voices,they are alike in some ways though,both are utterley ambitious and powerful rich women but diana did it with class and grace and style while madonna did it with cheapness.
