Overleg in VS over Symphonica in Rosso met Diana Ross
ARNHEM - Een delegatie van The Entertainment Group heeft verleden weekend in de Verenigde Staten met Diana Ross overlegd over de inhoud van de Symphonica in Rosso-shows die de Amerikaanse zangeres in oktober in de Arnhemse GelreDome geeft..
Vertegenwoordigers van de organisatie zijn speciaal met dat doel afgereisd naar Mashantucket in de Amerikaanse staat Connectictut, een plaats tussen de grote steden Boston en New York. Ross trad daar op de zaterdagavond op in het MGM Grand, onderdeel van Foxwoods Casino & Resort.
Zaterdagmiddag maakte The Entertainment Group bekend dat er 'vanwege de enorme toeloop' kaarten voor een extra concert in de voorverkoop zijn gegaan. Behalve op vrijdag 16 oktober, zal Diana Ross ook op zaterdag 17 oktober optreden met een veertigkoppig orkest en gastartiesten.
De dertigduizend kaarten voor de eerste avond, die zaterdagochtend in de voorverkoop gingen, waren 's avonds al nagenoeg uitverkocht. GelreDome-directeur Jasper van Amstel spreekt van een 'mooi succes'. Opmerkelijk aan de kaartverkoop voor de vierde editie van Symphonica in Rosso, is de internationale interesse voor het evenement.
Volgens The Entertainment Group hebben inmiddels mensen uit heel Europa kaarten gekocht voor de shows. Diana Ross (65) wordt beschouwd als een van de meest succesvolle vrouwelijke artiesten ooit. Alleen al in de Verenigde Staten scoorde ze achttien nummer 1-hits.
Ze werd bekend met het soultrio The Supremes. Daarna volgde een solocarrière. In haar lange loopbaan schreef ze hits op haar naam als 'The boss', 'Baby love', 'Chain reaction', 'Why do fools fall in love, 'Love hangover' en 'I'm coming out'.
Het is de vierde editie van het muziekspektakel. Eerder waren Marco Borsato, Paul de Leeuw en Lionel Richie hoofdgast. De eerste drie edities van Symphonica in Rosso trokken in totaal ruim 590.000

The Entertainment Group Presents:
SYMPHONICA IN ROSSO 2009
It is with great honour and pleasure to announce the legendary
DIANA ROSS
will be headlining this years' edition of the succesful concertseries Symphonica in Rosso. Following concerts in previous years by Dutch artists Marco Borsato and Paul de Leeuw and Lionel Richie, the global entertainment icon will be performing her worldwide hits together with the 40-piece Symphonica in Rosso-orchestra at the most spectacular music event in The Netherlands. The 4th edition of Symphonica in Rosso will commence on October 18 and promises to be, thanks to the collaboration of superstar Diana Ross, the highlight of the 2009' musical year. Tickets for Symhonica in Rosso will go on sale on May 18 at 10:00 am via www.symphonicainrosso.nl , www.topticketline.nl , Free Record Shop and 0900-3005000 (€ 0,45 p.m.).
Diana Ross has an enormous number of international chart topping hits such as The Boss, Baby Love, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Chain Reaction, Why do Fools Fall in Love, Love Hangover and I'm Coming Out, besides the many Supremes-classics to which all generation continue to sing along to. Millions of fans have seen her unique performances voiced all over the globe. Talented entertainer Diana Ross now has specially chosen for a unique, once in a lifetime performance, this years' edition of Symphonica in Rosso. It will be a show to which one can dance, but in which romantic sing-along ballads also will be performed. Fans are expected from all over Europe at this international acknowledged event to share in the performance of one of the world's greatest concerts artists and vocalists.
I must say I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience in the Netherlands. I've always had a special place in my heart for the Dutch audiences, they've always given me a wonderful welcome. We're planning to perform all those songs that the Dutch audience really want to hear, in what I see as being one of the biggest productions imaginable.! I can already feel the excitement!', Miss Ross said from the US.
It is with great pride that Symphonica in Rosso welcomes the spirit and aura of Diana Ross to the most precious music event in the Netherlands. The first three editions of Symphonica in Rosso attracted more than 600.000 visitors during 19 sold-out evenings at the Gelredome-stadium. Symphonica in Rosso is a –according to worldwide standards- gigantic production. A team of more than 550 people work on these spectacular shows and at certain times, more than 100 people have been performing simultaneously on the enormous stage. Combining the biggest names in the music industry, a gigantic stage, special sound- and lightning effects, impressive videographics and the red theme, together with an audience dressed in red, make Symphonica in Rosso a yearly event not to be missed.
The legendary Diana Ross is one of the most successful female artists of all-time, a musical treasure whose songs have, for decades, inspired romance, happiness and joy. She has had countless hit songs: in the USA alone, Diana Ross has scored 18 Billboard-number-one-hits with The Supremes, as a solo artist, and with classic duets such as Endless Love recorded with Lionel Richie. Diana Ross crosses musical borders with exhilarating ease - pop, disco, soul, and jazz, constantly reaching out to find new ways to inspire and enthral her audiences. Miss Ross has achieved a truly global iconic status: she has performed at historical events the world over, at the Olympics, at inaugurations for Presidents, during the Superbowl, at Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. She has inspired many of the female artists who have followed her, such as Beyonce, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. As America's Kennedy Center observed when they honoured her in 2007: "Gladness has informed all of Diana Ross' body of work. This lady doesn't just sing the blues. She sings pure joy".
It is a joy that is certain to be shared by countless of thousands of people when Diana Ross joins Symphonica in Russo this coming October.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK Diana Ross causes a chain reaction as she is followed through the streets of New York by a gaggle of paparazzi.
The Motown legend was spotted leaving the Bryant Park Tent following a fashion show. Her over-zealous security tired to usher her into a hotel foyer whilst they found her car, but Miss Ross proved to be no diva, insisting on walking to her vehicle.

luxury mega-yacht for July in Monaco for Diana Ross concert
I wondered whether your friends may be interested in hiring a luxury mega-yacht for July in Monaco for Diana Ross concert.
Harmony II is owned by two millionaire brothers (one is a huge Diana Ross fan). The boat is based in the Monaco (see attached brochure). Because of a cancellation we have a slot this summer to hire her out for private charter. She has a full crew and can take up to 12 passengers. Kelly Brook was on board in May at the Cannes Film Festival.
The cost for a 1 week charter, for up to 12 guests, including all food and drink and crew and fuel would only be £52,000 (which is just enough to cover the running costs).
Please let me know if you are interested.
Kind regards,

DIANA ROSS FANTASTIC!
DIANA FANTASTIC!
Review by DAVE SMITH
Diana was fantastic at Divas with Heart! She never disappoints! She entered from the rear of the theatre singing I'm Coming Out! She wore the red dress with the Flamingo like ruffles. Instead of having a mini skirt underneath she had a matching long skirt with a slit up the side. Her voice was in top notch form and she sang quite a few songs I think she performed for around 45 minutes or so. For the last number she changed into the new black and tan dress she has been wearing in her shows as of late. She had no time though to change her red platform shoes and red chandelier earrings! Gladys Knight Patti Labelle and Chaka Khan were all wonderful and great singers and I feel so fortunate to have seen them perform live. It was Diana however who brought down the house! She is the consumate performer. She ended the show with I will survive and an encore of I Love you!

The Supremes on show
The Supremes on show
Last Updated: 12:01am BST 26/04/2008
The Supremes not only took black music out of the ghetto and into the mainstream - they also did it in dazzling style. Nilgin Yusuf celebrates a new exhibition of their fabulous dresses at the V&A
It is 1964, and on stage at The Ed Sullivan Show three beautiful black women, Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson, are singing in harmony and dancing in rhythm. They exude self-assurance and sensuality. And the audience, who have never seen or heard anything like it, are clearly mesmerised. With 12 number one hits in the US, and 20 million record sales (ranking them second only to the Beatles) - the Supremes went on to be the world's most successful girl band. 'I worshipped the ground they walked on,' remembers Sharon Davis, the costume designer on Dreamgirls, a film part-inspired by the group. 'They made me believe I could be whatever I wanted.'
Back to their roots in front of the Brewster Projects in Detroit, 1967
Now the Victoria and Albert Museum is hosting the Story of the Supremes, an exhibition featuring more than 50 of the group's original costumes, based on Mary Wilson's collection. Always keen to preserve the legacy of the Supremes, Wilson kept all their outfits in storage. 'It was my dream that I would one day be able to share them with the world,' she says.
The image of the Supremes, originally called the Primettes, was always important to the group - Diana Ross (real name, Diane Ernestine Earle) briefly studied dressmaking, and the group's first costumes were homemade. In Gerri Hershey's book Nowhere to Run: The Story of Soul Music, Ross describes their early dresses: 'They were black and gold, and we had a string of gold fake pearls from the dime store… You remember those balloon dresses? We made some of these in a very bright flowered print. And we had these bright orange shoes with big flowers stuck on the front of them.'
The girls were soon able to buy gowns from department stores, which they would customise. While other black girl bands were going for 'little Jackie O, Givenchy knock-off numbers, Diana was always into heavy-duty glamour and wanted long dresses, which made them stand out,' recalls Bob Mackie, the Hollywood costume designer who was drafted in later in the Supremes' career to heighten their stage presence. 'They were pretty successful and international already when I did their Get It Together on Broadway TV special alongside the Temptations,' adds Mackie, who went on to design costumes for Diana Ross's solo career (she left the group in 1970). 'I just enhanced what they already had. I guess Diana got custody of me.'
Mackie's rhinestone-and-pearl-encrusted dresses worn for Ross's farewell performance feature in the exhibition, alongside the cream, bronze and yellow 'Butterfly' dresses that the designer Michael Travis created for the Supremes to wear on the cover of their final studio album, Cream of the Crop, in 1969. In the disco era it was Pat Campano, who in addition to his outlandish outfits for Sylvester, designed costumes and catsuits for the Supremes.

In marked contrast, the controversial outfits that the group wore to launch their single Lovechild in 1968 on The Ed Sullivan Show have been recreated for the exhibition. Marking a break with tradition, the Supremes, in a concessionary move to fashion's 'youthquake', appeared in cut-off jeans, T-shirts and bare feet. Many black viewers complained that the group were not presenting a strong black image, and drawing on the imagery of the white suburbs.
In response, the Supremes returned to the glamour that had become their hallmark. Although their stage outfits managed to reflect the changing mores and sensibilities, the Supremes still had their own very distinctive look. Bob Mackie's shimmering peach-coloured gowns covered in a pattern of sequinned chevrons were worn by the group continually throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, and were clearly a favourite.
But it was Berry Gordy, the one-time boxer who created Tamla Motown, who was the group's ultimate image-maker. He knew that if the Supremes were going to be successful internationally they had to break out of their ghettoised fan base. So the girls were dispatched to Motown's 'artistic development' unit, where they were taught how to move, dance and smile.
Here their tutors included Cholly Atkins, who perfected their stylised arm movements to counter the restricting sheath dresses they often wore; the musical director Maurice King; pianist/arranger Johnny Allen; and Maxine Powell, now 93, who taught the Supremes their etiquette and deportment. 'Be prepared to perform before kings and queens,' Powell instructed.
So while the outfits on display reflect the transformation of three Detroit girls from the projects into diva goddesses, they also reveal an emerging black American identity and power at a time when, in parts of the country, segregation was still in force (early in their career, on a tour of the Deep South, rocks were thrown at the Supremes' bus).

In 1964 the Supremes were the first black act to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show, the same year that Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act - they went on to appear on the show an additional 16 times. In an atmosphere of racial fear and bigotry, the Supremes strode into the firing line and looked breathtaking. Carol Tulloch, a research fellow at the V&A and a contributor to the exhibition, says, 'White audiences were placated by the image of the Supremes. This was an image of black people that was non-threatening.'
Their combination of beauty, talent and charm made the Supremes icons of black achievement, transforming expectations and perceptions. 'They also changed the idea of how black women could be seen in the public sphere, and set the standard of what girl bands, black or white could achieve,' Tulloch adds. But as the decades wore on, the Supremes were retrospectively criticised for selling out and looking 'too white'. Mackie is appalled at the suggestion. 'Too white? What were they supposed to wear? African dress?'
Today the sensibilities and aesthetics have changed, but it is impossible to imagine MTV, the charts, and all aspects of popular music without the massive contribution of black artists. Missy Elliot and Mary J Blige owe no one. Except, perhaps, the Supremes.

The Supremes not only took black music out of the ghetto and into the mainstream - they also did it in dazzling style. Nilgin Yusuf celebrates a new exhibition of their fabulous dresses at the V&A
It is 1964, and on stage at The Ed Sullivan Show three beautiful black women, Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson, are singing in harmony and dancing in rhythm. They exude self-assurance and sensuality. And the audience, who have never seen or heard anything like it, are clearly mesmerised. With 12 number one hits in the US, and 20 million record sales (ranking them second only to the Beatles) - the Supremes went on to be the world's most successful girl band. 'I worshipped the ground they walked on,' remembers Sharon Davis, the costume designer on Dreamgirls, a film part-inspired by the group. 'They made me believe I could be whatever I wanted.'
Back to their roots in front of the Brewster Projects in Detroit, 1967
Now the Victoria and Albert Museum is hosting the Story of the Supremes, an exhibition featuring more than 50 of the group's original costumes, based on Mary Wilson's collection. Always keen to preserve the legacy of the Supremes, Wilson kept all their outfits in storage. 'It was my dream that I would one day be able to share them with the world,' she says.
The image of the Supremes, originally called the Primettes, was always important to the group - Diana Ross (real name, Diane Ernestine Earle) briefly studied dressmaking, and the group's first costumes were homemade. In Gerri Hershey's book Nowhere to Run: The Story of Soul Music, Ross describes their early dresses: 'They were black and gold, and we had a string of gold fake pearls from the dime store… You remember those balloon dresses? We made some of these in a very bright flowered print. And we had these bright orange shoes with big flowers stuck on the front of them.'
The girls were soon able to buy gowns from department stores, which they would customise. While other black girl bands were going for 'little Jackie O, Givenchy knock-off numbers, Diana was always into heavy-duty glamour and wanted long dresses, which made them stand out,' recalls Bob Mackie, the Hollywood costume designer who was drafted in later in the Supremes' career to heighten their stage presence. 'They were pretty successful and international already when I did their Get It Together on Broadway TV special alongside the Temptations,' adds Mackie, who went on to design costumes for Diana Ross's solo career (she left the group in 1970). 'I just enhanced what they already had. I guess Diana got custody of me.'
Mackie's rhinestone-and-pearl-encrusted dresses worn for Ross's farewell performance feature in the exhibition, alongside the cream, bronze and yellow 'Butterfly' dresses that the designer Michael Travis created for the Supremes to wear on the cover of their final studio album, Cream of the Crop, in 1969.

Diana Ross snubs media and fans
Diana Ross snubs media and fans
Saturday, April 26th 2008
UNDER COVER: Diana Ross hides her face after her arrival at Crown Point International Airport yesterday before her performance at last night's opening night of the Plymouth Jazz Festival at the Plymouth Recreation Ground.
THE Diva herself, Diana Ross, used a magazine to hide her face from media photographers and fans who stood at the Crown Point International Airport waiting to greet her yesterday morning.
Ross, who headlined last night's opening of the Plymouth Jazz Festival at the Plymouth Recreation Ground, arrived on a private jet at around 10.30 a.m.
A five-car convoy, including police escort, quickly whisked her away in a grey Mercedes Benz.
Some disappointed fans were heard asking: "But why is she hiding her face?"
Last night's performance by Ross was her second at the event, billed by Forbes 500 as the "third Biggest Event in the World".
Last year, Ross' performance was cut short to accommodate that night's headliner, Mary J Blige, who had to leave Tobago to fulfill contractual arrangements in the US.
Whitney Houston, who is working on making a comeback into the music industry after years of marital problems and drug abuse, is expected to arrive on the island at around 7 p.m. tonight.

DIANA ROSS: EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING [Expanded Edition]
Pre-Order due April 22
Item# B000809302
$21.99
Product Description
You asked for it and here it is: Everything Is Everything, Diana Ross’s 1970 sophomore solo album, is finally available on CD in the U.S. for the first time.
Released even as her debut solo album was still on the charts, EIE featured productions by Deke Richards, the leader of the “Corporation” team responsible for the Jackson 5 hits. The album didn’t produce a major hit along the lines of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Ross’s big smash that year, but “I’m Still Waiting” became a U.K. No. 1. “I Love You (Call Me),” a cover of Aretha Franklin’s hit, was nominated for a Grammy® (it lost to Aretha herself). The complete, fascinating story is all here in this beautiful, expanded edition that includes seven bonus tracks from the Motown vault.
Among the stunning bonus tracks are unreleased covers of the Beatles “Something” and the Oscar®-nominated song “What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life,” alternate lyrics to “Ain’t No Sad Song,” a remix of “Come Together” – plus the hit U.K. remix of “I’m Still Waiting.”
In the booklet, Deke himself tells fascinating stories of the album’s genesis. Why, even as Ashford & Simpson were cutting the tracks that became the hits, Berry Gordy asked him to make this album. How, months after the album’s release, the U.K. embraced “I’m Still Waiting.” How the longest title in Diana’s repertoire came to be. How Deke wished to get Burt Bacharach to write a song for Diana, and what resulted instead. What happened to the bonus tracks—and where in all this fits Motown’s west coast guru Hal Davis.
Featuring stunning never-before seen photos, detailed annotations, digitally remastered audio, and never-before heard studio chatter, this collection is a must-add for every Diana Ross fan.
Order fast: the expanded edition of Diana Ross’s Last Time I Saw Him is nearly sold out, and this will go fast too.

Supreme night out at the summer pops
Supreme night out at the summer pops
Feb 29 2008 by Jade Wright, Liverpool Echo
LEGENDARY soul diva Diana Ross will make a dazzling return to this year’s Summer Pops.
The Motown superstar will make her first appearance in Liverpool for three years when the event moves to the ECHO Arena.
The city concert is one of two the former Supreme will perform in the UK this year, with the warm reception she was given back in 2005 said to be the reason behind her decision to come back.
Her performance then won rave reviews and featured songs from across her five-decade back catalogue.
Her return was one of four gigs announced for this year’s Summer Pops today.
Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall, American rock band Counting Crows and three monsters of rock, Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thunder, will also take to the stage at the waterfront venue.
The latter three acts will join up for a triple bill to remember, with Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale bringing his band back on to the road to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
He said: “It is about time we had new songs to present to the Whitesnake choir. This album has all the elements I enjoy about Whitesnake and more.”
Hucknall will perform in his own name in Liverpool for the first time, after the release of his debut solo album Tribute To Bobby.
Simply Red last took to the stage at the Summer Pops two years ago.
Counting Crows, who will make their Pops debut, will release their eighth album next month, with the help of renowned Liverpool producer Gil Norton.
The six new acts join confirmed artists Michael Bublé, Crowded House, Deacon Blue and The Australian Pink Floyd for this year’s series of events.
ECHO essentials
MICK Hucknall plays the Summer Pops on July 1, tickets £32.50 or £38.50.
Counting Crows play on July 8, tickets £32.50 standing and seating.
