I'm just giving an opinion I know what I like and what I don't like and Diana Ross's performance in this movie to me was just average not outstanding like Lady Sings The Blues or Mahogany. Stephanie put her heart and soul into that song where as Diana just whined through it (which drives me insane every time I hear it coming from her). If anyone has heard Stephanie Mills rendition of Home you would FEEL what I was talking about. Twice with her (Stephanie Mills).I just feel that Diana Ross just pushed her way into the lead when she wasn't capable of giving 100 percent in the vocals. If it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't have heard of it much less seen it 3 times. 4th Girl I wonder from what unknown country the storm blew this house. 3rd Girl Never in the land of Oz has there been one like it. 1st Girl Here's a catastrophe 2nd Girl What a dreadful storm. Don't get me wrong, Diana Ross is a accomplished singer and has done a great job in Lady sings the Blues and Mahogany but in all honesty she was just too old to play Dorothy in the Wiz considering Stephanie Mills is the one who actually put that play on the map. 1 SCENE II:- The munchkin country - Land of Oz followed by the descent of the house crushing of the wicked witch, etc. But I think that it would have been MUCH better if Stephanie Mills had done the lead of Dorothy in the movie.
