Generations always clash when comparing artists from different eras. Stephanie Mils was trending on Twitter for her thoughts on Diana Ross in comparison to Beyonce. She believes Beyonce to be more hip hop, while Diana Ross is more R & B. “I don’t think you can compare Beyonce to Diana Ross,” says the legendary singer.
Diana Ross rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of the Supremes, one of the most successful girl groups of all time. She later went on to have a successful solo career, becoming known for her powerful voice, glamorous image, and crossover appeal. She has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has received numerous awards and accolades for her contributions to music and culture.

She has since established herself as a solo artist, known for her powerful vocals, dynamic performances, and her ability to blend genres such as pop, R&B, and hip hop. She has also become a cultural icon, using her platform to advocate for social justice and female empowerment.

Oh no —
I would MUCH RATHER hear Diana Ross sing for hours than Beyonce.
Ya'll are really not plugged in.
For 6 Decades and SEVERAL generations Diana Ross commanded the music charts as Motown's biggest star.
HER MATERIAL was so genius –no, I'd choose Diana's vocals.

And our ancestors can have dingy-teeth Diana but as for me and my house, it's Beyoncé all day and I'm tired of folks acting like she's not that girl! 🤬🤬🤬

y’all have to remember she’s from a different generation so of course she’s going to think highly of Diana. Not everything is shade. And wasn’t talking about Stephanie being legend I was referring to Diana cus I’m seeing ppl think otherwise.

to roll out the red carpet, put Beyoncé on a pedestal and see her through your eyes. Beyoncé is your icon. Not theirs. They don’t owe her and others shit. They owe them. pic.twitter.com/4NC799V1Ga

I'm just shocked that folks actually think BEYONCE (who I love)…..is on the same level as folks like Dolly Parton, Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand.
BEY is the "biggest superstar of today" & still in her 40's.
In TIME she will have Aretha/Dolly level respect.
But not yet.
