Summary: She has bad "Vision"
Review: La Ross fans enjoy seeing their diva preen, put on a fashion show and glam it up, but this sort of behavior does not lend itself that well to the directoral concepts applied in these videos and ultimately the concepts are way too thin in many of these videos. Granted, "Pieces of Ice" is an avant-garde and surreal work and the video should fit that element of the song, what is up with the WIZ-like Zebra costume? It is laughable, although the concept tries to fit the song. In "Muscles", why is there that lone still shot which shows up twice from a black and white movie with a man flexing his muscles amidst other shots of other muscle-bound men surrounding Ross? Here there is quite a discontinuity. Then, La Ross tries to rip off Pat Benatar with the cat fights in "Swept Away" which is a direct rip-off of Pat's work in the "Love Is a Battlefield" video. Then, the most absurd video has to be for "All of You" which is the type of song for which a video should never have been made. All these people bust into a contrived and ornate style dance at a dinner party - what gives? With all the money behind Diana Ross, couldn't she do better or is this all her imagination can deliver? The songs are great and the producers behind her delivered some great music in her career, but the fact she has admitted to being the force behind her videos volumes about why in part she is floundering now - it must be from a lack of potent creativity.

Summary: DVD Release could be more but we'll take it!
Review: Any Diana Ross fan knows that the European Release of this VHS title included so many more of the Diana Ross Music Videos that we grew upo loving, So many hits, so little space - wrong it's DVD, Fill it up. Still I'll take it, and wait for more - if anybody's listening, Lady Sings the Blues, Mahogany, Out of Darkness to name a few. Great things I look forward to seeing available soon. We miss you DR, lets hear some music please.

Summary: My Take on The Visions of Diana Ross DVD
Review: Bravo to your response to Amazon as written by Reviewer: Al "apollo00" (Lynn, MA USA) Maybe This Will Lead To More?, July 22, 2004. I agree fully with your point of view.
With regard to the "The Visions of Diana Ross" for what it is - it is great. However, I am very disappointed that unlike the European version of this as well as the earlier European VHS, "Chain Reaction" was not included. By far one of the gem's in Ms. Ross' song book. How easy it would be to include this item allowing many Americans who have never seen it to have the experience that long time Diana fan's and all of Europe have had.
Let's get real with the amount of storage available on a DVD why not really provide a special product and charge more. I am sure that those that purchased this are only the Di-hard fans and we would easily fork over additional money to get more of one of our leading ladies of the twentieth century.

Summary: Outstanding Artist !! Average DVD
Review: I give this DVD 5 stars simply because its Diana Ross. The fact that there are only 6 music videos which all come from the 80's is very disappointing. Its still better to have some of MISS ROSS'S videos on DVD rather than none at all, but this is not the way a DIVA of her caliber should be recognized. Fans want more of Diana's videos, not just a small portion. I would have also included her videos: * Mirror Mirror
* Chain Reaction
* Eatin Alive
* Dirty Looks
* Workin Overtime
* This House
* Take me Higher
* I Will Survive
* Until We Meet Again
* Not Over You Yet
* Upside Down (Live)
* I'm Coming Out (Live)
* The Best Years of my Life

Summary: Honestly, Don't Waste Your Time...
Review: I got this DVD for free (thankfully), because a friend of mine had bought me an Amazon gift certificate for my birthday. I'm glad, because this DVD was terrible. The videos were far more dated than I expected. I will say that the sound quality was excellent EXCEPT on the "All of You" track with Julio Egalsias. This track sounded like someone was playing a nearly-worn out cassette version of the song. I wish Miss Ross all the best, but for your buck, you can do better.

Summary: How on earth did she get famous?
Review: I guess at one time sleeping with the boss could actually get you ahead. This old bag hasn't had a hit in decades, and one look at this DVD will tell you why. She has no voice, she can't write songs, and she doesn't play an instrument. She's really more famous for sleeping her way to the top, stabbing the other Supremes in the back (causing Florence Ballard to go on welfare), having Berry Gordy's baby and marrying the white guy and telling him (and the world) it's his kid, pushing Mary Wilson on "Motown 25," attempting that laughable cancelled "Supremes" tour, and becoming a drunken attempted murderer behind the wheel of a car. Wow, that's talent.

Summary: Now Amazon.com is offering reviews?
Review: I take, complete and utter exception to Amazon.com mentioning that unfortunate incident Diana (that's Miss Ross to you Amazon.com) Ross had in reference to this DVD collection. Unless they are going to start that with EVERY ARTIST don't single out Diana (that's Miss Ross to you Amazon.com) Ross. It's a shame that after a 40 year scandal free career that a minor 2 year old incident is still being repeated.
This DVD is not new however an update from the original VHS format to DVD. Yes, it would have been nice to have had some of her newer video's added as a bonus however I think this collection stands on it's own.

Summary: Sam Graham should be fired.
Review: The use of the words "mug shot" by Sam Graham in his editorial review of Diana Ross dvd is highly offensive to me and has no place on Amazon.
