Welcome back to…
SUPREMES SEPTEMBER!!!!
(I don’t know why I think putting that in all caps is so funny, but I think it’s here to stay. Just imagine it with some crazy word art zooming in and out.)
In this video it’s really clear why Diana Ross became such a star: she knows how to engage an audience. I barely even noticed the other two Supremes, and it’s not because Diana is the main singer. Some people are obviously blessed with the ability to draw your attention. (Tangent: I remember the first time I ever saw Edie Sedgwick on film. I had no idea who she was, but I really couldn’t keep my eyes off of her. Diana Ross has that same quality.)
Who are those super short people dancing behind Diana Ross? I guess the Supremes are on a raised platform, but this video makes those other people look like Hobbits. (Sorry if you are one of those people. It’s not your fault, it’s the camera angle.)
Happy Music Monday. Have a great week.

I’m ready for the WEEK now!! Bring it on. Oh, and geez, someone should have given those Hobbits a few dance lessons…they were pretty uninspired looking. People!!! It’s Diana Ross and the Supremes!! Move yourself!

I really agree, the hobbits are looking really awkward back there. They’re also each only doing one dance move over and over.
I also can’t help but feel like maybe the Supremes hadn’t hit their live performance stride yet; the other two are looking like background singers and they really should have worked it a little more (I mean really, they’re the Supremes)
