Review: Diana Ross was fabulous and fun after a 56-year absence ... (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

The Motown goddess was grateful, playful and happy to be on tour with a new album.

Then she made Gloria Gaynor's 1978 disco classic "I Will Survive" her own expansive anthem, dancing the night away with a mixture of triumph and determination after six decades in the spotlight. Happy to be back in the States after a European tour, happy to engage with fans, happy to be performing with a top-notch band and singers.

Saturday's effort was certainly superior to her 2017 concert at Northrop and more satisfying than her too-short 2013 performance at the Orpheum Theatre. Ross seemed genuinely grateful for all the blessings in her life, as she recited a few sentences of gratitude and asked the fans to repeat each one after her. She offered two new numbers — the neo-disco "If the World Just Danced" (she promised that dancing would make everyone happy) and the title track, a peppy, platitudinous pop ditty that closed the 90-minute show.
