Waynebrasler It's so nice to hear from someone on these sites who seems to have a handle on the facts. Mary chose not to participate in this tour for the reason you stated about "being treated like hired help!" Mary's days of agreeing to having no say in anything and being asked to "shut up, stand there, and sing" are over forever. It was a dignity thing and it proved once and forever that the legend of the Supremes is greater than the sum of its parts......and that Diane is merely a part!

I agree completely. Again, Diana overestimated her drawing power and thought the fans would turn out to see her without Mary and Cindy. Jean, Mary and Cindy would have been great to see. I wouldn't mind seeing that now. Up The Ladder To The Roof is one of my favorite Supremes songs.

I am a Supremes fan, but I think that Diana was perfectly content touring with Scherrie and Lynda, instead of Mary and Cindy because she thought her name alone would bring the crowds out, while she got a bigger piece of the pie. The fans spoke loud and clear by staying away from this tour and forcing its cancellation. Mary should have gotten Cindy and Jean Terrell and toured after this. Anyway if Diana, Mary and Cindy could tour with Otis, Dennis, Richard and Damon, that would be a hot ticket.

I could have planned a Supremes show better than these fools! 1st half of the show is Diana, Mary & Cindy all in one line singing all the hits, dancers in 60's garb for a FEW numbers. Mary sings 2 jazz numbers with her gorgeous smoky alto, Cindy gets 1 gospel number. Diana gets the 2nd half of the show to do whatever she wants. Scherrie, Lynda, Susaye and Jean brought up on stage in L.A. for a killer reunion song and a lovely tribute to Florence Ballard. This would have been absolutely STELLAR!

You are correct and distracting it is. That's the whole point. If the act doesn't have the talent to survive on its own, then they bring in background dancers to beef it up. Sad, because there is such talent on that stage (all 3 are great singers on their own) but together it absolutely flops. Shame on Miss Ross for trying to dupe the public. It cost her one fan at least.

First of all Jean, Mary and Cindy were Supremes that did work together and they would probably bring down houses if they did tour. After Diana's departure in 1970 when Jean Terrell took over audiences had graciously embraced her as Diana's replacement. She had a much more stronger voice than that of Diana and their sound was much more soulful. They were returning to their "roots" under Jean.

Had they contacted Mr. Atkins to recreate the classic routines, ditched the dancers & extra backing singers & used the full orchestra, etc., this would have been a great performance & the tour would have been huge success. Had this show been organized to classic standards, it would have had boffo box office.

This would have been a great tour, if Wilson's greed hadn't ruined it. Diana Ross intended for ALL FORMER SUPREMES to be on the tour, which is why she never called it a "reunion". Scherrie & Lynda were chosen(after Mary threw away a $4MILLION payday for 1 month's work)b/c, as Former Ladies of The Supremes, they play far larger venues than Mary Wilson, so the combo made sense. The reviews were great! TNA stopped the tour b/c it didn't sell out every night. Stupid move on their part.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Florence Ballard is a FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE SUPREMES, Lynda was never meant to be a permanent SUPREME she was brought as a temporary replacement of Cindy Birdsong who was out recently married and starting a family. Shortly after Jean Terrell fed-up with the lack of support of Berry Gordy & Motown for the group together with Lynda decided to depart. Cindy returned with Scherrie Payne ("He's My Man" Album) but the lack of support continued and their future was doomed and sealed!

Computerized sound systems, loud background singers, and lavish instrumental arrangement help but can not mask the fact that Diane's voice is GONE.
