Diana Ross Booed - A Top Story This Week

01/02/08
.
Diana Ross Booed was a top story on Tuesday. Here it is again: (TMZ) Diana Ross pissed off a crowd of 40,000 at the 2008 Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival on Saturday, where she was booed and heckled by Jamaicans attending the festival at in Montego Bay -- after organizers told them that "to honor Miss Ross' wishes, she will not be shown on the monitors." That news was greeted with widespread hissing. Oh no she didn't!

Patrons in the stadium-sized arena were unable to see her, so they wanted to put her performance up on the big screen. A concert organizer said, "It was at the eleventh hour that her manager said she wouldn't allow us to IMAG (In Vivo Imaging) her performance and, if any cameras were present, she would not go onstage." Attendees paid from $80 to $307 to attend the concert, where Ross, who was reportedly paid $300,000 for the gig, performed an hour-long set with fellow headliners Mary Mary, Billy Ocean and KoKo Taylor.

Hisses turned to full-out boos when Ross started her set with Supremes hits -- and the crowd beyond the first section couldn't see her -- and the booing continued throughout her set.
