YESYESYESYES

DIANA IS EVERYTHING!

Yes.

she was basically the Beyoncé type of star of her time so YEAH.

the title of the last video in the OP people ready to do anything to get views.

One of several.

After Aretha.

No...why would she be...what is Diana Ross known for other than "You Keeping Me Hanging On", singing in a rainstorm back in the 80's, and fondling Lil' Kim's boob at the VMA's?

probably

Lets see.

The Supremes
Dreamgirls (play and movie)
I'm Coming Out
Mahogany
Using looks to sell records first

Beyoncé is.

not only that but....

The Supremes numerous classics : Baby Love, Stop In The Name of Love... don't go there.

Diana classics: Upside Down, Old Piano, Reach out and Touch, Aint No Mountain High Enough.

Queen of Mowtown.

SHE IS for her time and I think her influence is being bigger than Diana was for her time.
even ROCK artists cite Beyoncé.

Rihanna is the new Donna Summer. I swear. Donna Summer herself is the only past generation singer to praise Rihanna. she connects with her because she's having a same type of career.

like Rihanna came out in the middle of Bey career Donna came out in the middle of Diana's.

My post above ^ sums up what most people know about Diana Ross...

The OP said most influential... and your list doesn't qualify her as the most influential female artist of all time. Aretha, Janis, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell got her beat in that respect.

^ who?

YASSS! Ashlee's mother in law!

She's one of the most influential pop icons ever
