Diana's regal
|  | Trey Lorenz, Mariah Carey,
and Jasmine Dotiwala | | It's been a busy a month as ever in London for lovers of black music. This week alone I caught up with Mims (of This Is Why I'm Hot) fame, then I flew to Paris to catch Lemar's tour with Beyoncé (more on that next time in Jasmine's Juice).
Finally, my mum dragged me to Wembley to see Diana Ross who I was informed would "show me what real feel-good music was like". It was a night of enlightenment. I confess that when I thought of Diana Ross I had the notion of an old singer with not that great a voice who had her day. How wrong was I. This was a great show.
The MTV crew were laughing at me cos when I wasn't singing I was transfixed listening to Diana who I had previously heard had a ropey voice. I wonder how that rumour spread? Her voice was really honeyed and melodious. When she began Ease On Down The Road (from The Wizard of Oz), I confess I lost it slightly cos me, Mariah and Mariah's folks love that movie and sing that song loud every time.
