Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Carole King, all need second inductions before Stevie Nicks!

Miss diana ross is the real deal.she was the first real global pop queen.she invented the female pop ideal and has always been the template for those that followed her.she has inspired and been copied by every female artist to come after her from madonna.whitney.mariah etc.no one ever had the star power or glamour of diana ross.she hasn't got that powerful voice a la aretha but Diana's voice is totally unique and can take you places like no other voice can.diana has been overlooked in her career I think for her incredible success and business acumen.a lot of people dont like that she's always done it her way and was never a puppet.she was the first female artist to take full control of her career. Today we have the likes of Katy perry and gaga who copied everything they have done from other artists.diana ross is a trailblazer and icon and a true legend with over five decades of longevity. Simply supreme .the true empress of pop.

Dont see why Diana isnt in. Her solo career, especially her run in the 70s and early 80s is undeniable and adding to the fact she basically sang the last few Supreme hits by herself. She's a pioneer and should have been the first woman inducted twice in the Hall.

Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross on the same ballot next year! Diana Ross will be Tina Turner's replacement.

I'm thinking Diana Ross will perform Endless Love with Lionel Richie at the 2022 induction ceremony, and she'll be nominated for a second induction in 2023.

Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, and Judy Collins on the same ballot next year!

Can't believe she's not inducted! Her career was the blueprint for so many others after her. At least Kennedy Center, Grammy Lifetime Achievement, Soul Train, American Music Awards, and Essence Awards have recognized her contributions. The Rock & Roll HofF really seems like a good ole boy club that under values women.

Diana, the First Lady of Music & my opinion her singing voice is way better than Aretha Franklin. Diana , was the only lead vocals ( her voice is like honey with lots of sentiment & so clear & soothing ) for the supremes, anybody could of did backup vocals& why don't they include those 12 # 1 with her 6 she did as Diana Ross . Truly the only Queen

I believe it's the right timing for Diana Ross to be inducted as the famed and legendary solo artist she is. Many of us have marveled at her career firsts, breakthroughs as someone who was fearless and talented. She paved the way for so many artists who followed. Her music still has strong standing around the world. It seems natural and timely to indict Diana Ross in the Hall of Fame.

It is time for Diana Ross to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of fame. She has performed for Royalty-Queen of England and around the world. Her music stretches wide pop, blues, country, disco, theatrical (Wiz), and other standards from her 1st release album as a solo artist "Diana Ross" to "Blue" featuring the legend and not mention her many successful duet releases. Her career spans at least five decades. Please catch this national treasure while she yet is able to appear for the induction. Diana is a consummate entertainer . . . "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"; "The Boss"; "I Coming Out"; "Upside Down"; "Endless Love"; "No One Gets The Prize" . . . !
