Michael Jackson isn’t the only one singing ‘Dirty Diana.’
The folks of the beautiful island of Jamaica are singing the same tune about Diana Ross, who showed locals what she really thought of them – during her main attraction headlining gig of the “2008 Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival.”
And in true-to-life form, the Caribbean natives showed her what they thought of her too.
Throngs of audience members, estimated at 40,000, heckled and booed the Motown diva throughout her hour-long set last night at the Acquaduct Rose Hall in Montego Bay. (Exclusive TMZ.com video below.)
“Jamaica is one of the toughest crowds,” a tourism official was overheard saying in a gated V.I.P. section located to the left of the stage, as the boos grew louder and louder through Ross’ set.
What was the beef?
Well, “to honor Miss Ross’ wishes,” unscrupulous concert promoters shut off gargantuan-sized television monitors, which were broadcast at every other concert performance throughout the three-day event — believed to be the largest staging of the festival.
