      @@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Wait! Did you say Heather Headley lacked soul?🤨🤔 That's almost blasphemy! What'chu talkin' bout Willis?! She turns everything she sings into a gospel song. Literally! Type in Heather Headley "Can you feel the live tonite live" from the Lion King. You won't even recognize the song!Ya'll underestimate her man! It's only about 4 other singers out now that I'd put in her Class. That is J. Hudson, Fantasia, &
      Le' Andria.

    its about time that she (Diana) started getting the recognition that she absolutely deserves!! Yolanda is the first mistress of amping up the energy, and giving it loads...awesome stuff!! So pleased for Diana...she broke so many boundaries and walls down, paving the way for Whitterz and Mariah, and Beyonce etc...a true groundbreaker. Incredible woman, and an incredible career ☺️🌟

      Are you for real? Putting Beyonce’ in the category as Miss Ross. Have you ever seen Miss Ross swearing in any of her songs or acting a fool or dressing inappropriately. Please if you don’t have anything graceful to say about Miss Ross, just shut your trap.

    now THATS some DNA that I woouldn't mind having...a woman who has achieved TREMENDOUS success, on a GLOBAL scale. I never understood this notion that she wasn't a great singer...I happen to think that Diana is. Everybody shouldn't have to sound like Aretha Franklin, to get noticed, right?..and there mere fact that Ms Ross carved her own niche, just adds to how great she is...she is a one-off, in the best possible way. A living legend.
