Diana Ross was performing at the 2008 Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival this past Saturday and got booed because she refused to allow organizers to put her performance up on the big screen. "It was at the eleventh hour that her manager said she wouldn't allow us to IMAG (In Vivo Imaging) her performance," said a concert promoter, "and, if any cameras were present, she would not go on stage." Hisses turned to full-out boos when Ross started her set with Supremes hits -- and the crowd beyond the first section couldn't see her -- and the booing continued throughout her set. Attendees paid from $80 to $307 to watch Ross -- who was reportedly paid $300,000 for the gig -- perform the hour-long set with fellow headliners Mary Mary, Billy Ocean and KoKo Taylor.

Go on girl! Miss Ross is still the quintessential diva, I see. She must have had her reasons. I'd be pissed too, but Ross still inclined to show that she's still the Boss.
Bronx - That's an awful thing to say about Miss Ross. Surprised to hear that coming from you 'cause we know that you ain't really concerned with Miss Ross' titties *wink,wink*
....And I said MMMMM mmmmm....
Ms. Ross is lucky they didn't throw bottles and stones at her. Jay-Aye don't play.
She didn't want them to see she was lipsynching. But you could tell anyhow. Still a BIG ASS BITCH after all these years. Guess the booze and drugs don't help either.
fuck that with the economy now days we want our moneys worth, look out for your rebate checks in may or june up to 12 hundred dollars my good peeps.....
This is pathetic...she needs her ass slapped with a bannana!!!
thats just plain disrespectful, shame on jamaica for treatin a legend (yes shes a legend) that way...Diana Ross deserves respect and I can understand they were mad but dont be dis-re-damn-spectful
LOL...She is THE diva, we all know that...
But I must say, the woman is still looking fabulous.
diana ross lookin' casket sharp.
WOW NOW I KNOW WHY THE COMMENTS ON HERE ARE SO GULLY! BECAUSE SO ARE THE FAGS! MAKING THEM!!!
^^^stick a gas pump up your ass and swallow a match
^^^^^CO-SIGN ...LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
She screwed her paying fans. Don't matter who you are, if you sell a show, you had better show to all who paid.
Diva my ass....selfish biatch more like it. Where Michael at anyway? Can't tell them two apart nowdays anyway, unless Michael's nose sags or falls off....then we know for sure its Michael. Anyone know if Michael's boobs look like hers now too?
I like Diana - Respect her game- she does it her way and you can't win em all
that just sound like a whack azz concert! you got to know when to hold,fold'em,walk away, be done! and she is done!
Fuck that old CUNT!
"Miss Ross,would you do us all a favor and die already."
I swear, all of Michael Jackson's friends look like him, LOL. This broad looks like Sylvester Stallone's mom, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minelli and her ex-husband all at the same time. They all look like crypt keepers--and her daughter Joan from Girlfriends looks like a skeleton.
SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY SHE STILL DOIN GIGS WHA SHE TRYNA HIDE SHE WAS PROLLY MILLY VANILLY'N THA WHOLE SHOW

This cracker loving bitch is getting 300k a show? wow
Cracker loving? I am white and is offended. How would you like if I say Nigger lover? Would that piss you off? Or would you just speed dail Jesse Jackson and boycott the elections?
Those people didn't buy a ticket to let her have it her way, they wanted a good VIEWABLE show... respect aint given, it is earned. how about respecting the wishes of the fans who paid to see her ol' cracked out ass?
10:08 PM The term 'Cracker' in my opinion is cheesy, it has nothing on "Nigger".
Yes. But ignorance is equal. We feel it too. I am not racist. I love everyone. But the last thing we want to do is compare hurts. I cannot take black slavery as much as its shamful. We should be nicer to each other regardless of which word hurts the most.
Diana. Please...use...other...button!
BRONX, I HAVE TH FLU AND YOU ARE KILLING ME BY MAKIN' ME LAUGH!!! STILL GOT LOVE FOR YOU THOUGH... :oD

^^^Yeah she's a legendary man-stealer, back-stabber, and substance-abuser, and bitch. For that kind of money she had better sing each and every song she's ever recorded right in the comfort of my living room---or at least on the jumbo tron.
To whomever said she's looking good these days that is NOT a recent picture. She looks a hot mess. Not casket sharp, just ready for the casket.
She needs LaMichael to save the day than.
^^Funny how LaMichael was named after Michael Jackson and looks like him too. Perhaps Michael impregnated her.

I must say that I wanted to be Miss Ross when I grew up. I'm now 37 years old with a 10 year old daughter, Heather, who is so in awe of you that she has watched the majority of your videos and knows most of your songs. She has every movie you've ever made either on DVD or on DVR. She wants to meet you some day, but we hope its for a positive reason and not one where someone has to be terminally ill or something worst to make this wish of hers come true. She knows about your shortcomings in life and fully understands that you are only human and incidents happen. Also, the drama in Jamaica did not sway her oppinion about you. With all of the latest singing sensations out today I feel proud that I'm raising a daughter who appreciates your style of music. Sincerely, the mother of your #1 fan

I believe if you are going to perform, or do anything at all in life you give it your very best.. Mizzzzzz Ross You are a Star performer-u know that- we j'CANS know that. So if you agree to perform, come and give it ur all, we expect to enjoy our night, persons have made sacrifices just to see U,and this is how u treat us- u ought to feel ashamed of urself..watever ur reasons are for ur behaviour, we- JCANS do not tolerate crap from no one, and surely u werent an exception. U better thank the Lord that we didn't 'bottle' u off the stage.

Diana Ross is such a supreme star who is respected and revered the world over. It is such a pity she could not show that samwe respect to her fans in Jamaica who anticipated her performane at the Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival for months and spent hefty sums of money just be in her presence.

Dirty Diana you are so not welcome to jamaica anymore. I'm not sure what your thoughts were of us in Jamaica but we are used to international acts. Ms Patti La Belle a true DIVA came here a few years back and did a fabulous job.. Ms Deon Warwick did the same. If you have a problem with your looks I have one advise for you AGE WITH PRIDE !!!

I resented the contemptuous attitude of Miss Ross to her Jamaican audience. It is so unfair to expect people to fork out top dollars to be treated with such disdain as she did in Montego Bay, Jamaica on Saturday night. She owes her fans an apology

Diana 'Rass' Ross was a major disappointment to the audience at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Montego Bay. The diva was ungracious, unaccommodating and disrespectful to an audience that paid thousands of Jamaican dollars to see her. Instead of coming to stir the soul of the people who left home to see her, she bevaved as if she competing for the 'America Next Top Model'. Not even the common courtesy of saying "hello Jamaica" did the over 15,000 get from her.

you were one one of the few persons I wanted to meet while I traveled through this world, however, after your treatment of your Jamaican audience at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival it is obvious that you have lost all respect of humans as you travel this earth.
