Stephanie began with,

“I don’t think you can compare Beyoncé to Diana Ross.”

She elaborated and continued,

“It’s just different. I consider Beyoncé hip-hop. I consider Diana R&B and pop. I consider her royalty. I’ve always wanted to be like Diana. When I saw Lady Sings the Blues and I would go to her shows in Vegas they were always so wonderful and classy.”

Stephanie said,

“Diana Ross is the epitome of beauty and class to me.”
