Diana Ross' stunning appearance at the old Olympic stadium
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The ultimate diva of soul and disco music Diana Ross thrilled her fans at the Kallimarmaro stadium, site of the first modern Olympics.
Shipowners, artists, businessmen and media personalities attended the great concert that was organized yesterday (16/07) at Kallimarmaro with the unique Diana Ross stealing the show. Before the ever-moving artist took the stage, as part of her world tour, our own “Number One”, Elena Paparizou opened the concert, receiving the warmest applause from the audience.
Before going on stage
Elena Paparizou “warmed up” the audience with a program of favorite Greek and foreign songs, while when she performed “Just walk away”, the melodic ballad by Celine Dion, the audience did not stop applauding her.
Almost an hour later, a video wall began showing excerpts from the legendary diva's career, musicians and singers took their places and Diana Ross, in a long red tulle dress, took to the stage to perform her greatest hits.
The diva of soul & disco music, who managed to make a great career, before coming to Greece had given an interview to iefimerida.gr where she had spoken warmly about our country.
The impressive costumes and the family at Diana Ross's side
Diana Ross, in addition to her velvety voice, also impressed with the unique appearances she has chosen for her world tour. Motionless on stage, she changed costumes in record time and her silhouette testified to her impeccable proportions. In total, she changed three costumes, one more impressive than the other - the last one was a sequined jumpsuit.
In fact, at one point she asked the audience to stand up and sway to the melody, and did not hesitate to mention that she can still "sway" even though she is 81 years old.
On her world tour, she is accompanied by her daughter Rhonda Ross, who together with her husband wrote a song inspired by the great diva, who during her career has even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The moment when Diana Ross sang with her daughter was touching, while she herself brought her granddaughter on stage. After all, she shared with the audience that her children and grandchildren have come with her to Greece.
The warm ferewell to the crowd when she left
After the concert, a luxurious van was waiting for Diana Ross in the dressing room. The legendary artist spoke with the production staff, greeted them warmly and headed for the exit.
A crowd of people were gathered and were chanting her name rhythmically until Diana Ross, instead of getting into the van, went to the side and greeted the audience warmly. With a handshake to the heart and a kiss, she thanked the audience and headed to the van with her own people.
