I was one of the ones that slept on her...🤦🏾‍♀️

So glad I discovered such a fabulous singer!

Say that again for the ones who missed out!! She really has been slept on

It sure was❤️💕

Very present 🥰❤️

Yes she is!!

So true!

She is stunning.

I wish this was on the big screen. Hulu, Netflix, etc. are proprietary and you need a subscription with ALL of them to see these movies. You can't even rent or buy the movies on DVD.

So true, and that is the most complete form of beauty.

In the very beginning of time God created all & it was good, His plan was to have Him & His creation(humans) live in utopia. the satan deceived God’s creation so that wouldn’t happen, we choose evil. Evil has its consequences, death is the consequence for disobeying an everlasting God. God doesn’t want that for any of His creation so He sent His Son Jesus(God in the flesh) & Jesus lived the perfect life. Died the death as a criminal, & resurrected, all so that we could have eternal life if we have faith in that sacrifice. This is God’s plan! Have an amazing life!😁

Ms Sunshine she still is an icon.

Yes unfortunately she had to suffer the last years of her life, they wanted her to be quiet and sing other songs that were not controversial, why didn’t lee want to meet with Andra Day, i dont think he could have met a better person , she even favors the late great Billie Holiday herself , I’m glad he finally gave her a chance to prove herself I’m so glad The great Stevie Wonder finally discovered her and helped get her a record deal

EXCELLENT ACTING!!

Most definitely... I remember saying to my sister when Andra Day was introduced to us with Rise Up that she would be a great Billie Holliday if they ever made another movie... and here we are! Can't wait to see it...

@@rosevalerio5863 You called it then!)🕊🌹🕊 🙏

She’s actually close to Rihanna in voice sound facial and body features. Looks like she could be Rihanna’s twin sister.

Right 👌🏽

She started smoking and drinking to play the role which is so scary for her vocal health

...watch that...and the 1st movie about her...LADY SINGS THE BLUES...

Thank you 🤲🏿

Yes we have, the world cant even begin to understand what we've been through

Anwar your damn skippy we have.....

But hallelujah the holy spirit of God is giving us a lot of Grace to live in the centuries in these times because He lives within and he helps us to go through the suffering that's what help us to be a fruit of kindness Mercy and any other kind of fruit gentleness long suffering temperance compassion generosity hospitality that has never taken away from us but a lot of us now are not just I wouldn't call us black but we're nearly some of us are mixed with mud and we have all different coaches in us from slavery but the Holy Spirit still loves us and a lot of other people in other countries have mixtures and not full breed but we think the holy spirit of God who abides in each and every one of us that he called us from out of oppression into his marvelous light to gain the truth of his love for without him we can do nothing SHALOM*** Peace 🕊️💫 and GRACE***

When you can change your voice like that that is what's called a true magnificent actress or actor and I'm quite sure of the doors will be open for her because she definitely looks like Eartha Kitt as well she can play that if she can do that cat talk like it she got it made HALLELUJAH**🕊️🕊️🕊️💫🕊️👑🔥✨🙏🌹 God bless her

I worked with her last pianist Mal Waldron ... who dedicated 4 tribute albums to her after her death ... and I helped him with the promotion of his last hommage-album to her 'NO MORE TEARS ( For Lady Day ) ' , that was produced in The Netherlands - Europe . So that movie of 1972 was nothing but lies ! The real Louis McKay - as he is played in that movie - wasn't like that at all ... neither was Billie as played by D. Ross .

That movie was junk. It was like bad karaoke.

@@SletnamMusic very interesting. We learn something every day. Thanks for the information.

@@SletnamMusic, you're not the first person I've heard state that Lady Sings the Blues did her life a disservice. It's because of hearing that and having watched that movie too many times to count, that I want to see this interpretation of her life.

I hope that they would redo the Diana Ross version; it is more realistic...less fantasy.

Hopefully, it will be an interesting race between her and Viola Davis.

It is heartbreaking that she never could escape physical abuse, which this movie better discuss if it wants my approval

Her life wasn't sad, whites created a sad imagine as they do too so many of our black progressive artist and art.

@@Bridget2460 Yeah it was. She never could even file charges against abusive lovers because of laws based on morality

@@minewheaties5029 what a tragedy !

CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes, I learn something every week.

I feel the exact same way. They truly never disappoint.

agreed!

@@KevinBiedrzycki1 except for Gayle king interviews

Lady Holliday just like Reverand Martin Luther King, Jr. and so many others (as I suspect Haji Malcolm X) were mercilessly victimized and eventually murdered by The FBI and Herbert Hoover's CointelPro's Lynching Program against African Americans and those that 'aligned' themselves with those his FBI considered too powerful. Still to this day there are 2 Amerikkkas. I am so glad the true stories of these amazing men and women are being told and not just the ugly parts. We owe their memories so much more.

What happened to her so much racism, racist people living back in those days and some of those same ancestors of those racist are still in this country today

One thing is that they did not become illuminati's in Freemasons maybe a few of them I didn't realize that Martin Luther King was a that's why they had to get him out of the way because he was becoming too strong of a figure of black society. The same with others Harriet Truman if I must go on it would be long. And when people played the role of people that have died they play it from their heart soul and mind will an emotion without a doubt I pray that she does get an Oscar even Denzel Washington play so many roles he barely got one. The same with Eartha Kitt and Baker she had to go to Paris because they blackballed her from America even earthquake. 🕊️🕊️👑👑👑🔥🔥🎶🌹🌹🥳🥳💖✨🙏

She better get a Oscar. If she doesn't I will protest for sure.

I'm conflicted now. The Aretha Franklin Movie is coming out, and Jennifer Hudson stars.

@@mspatti Jennifer can’t really act and she’s no where near as charismatic and natural as Andra

I always thought of "God Bless The Child" as her signature song. But yes, "Strange Fruit" was definitive Lady Day.

That's true where are you from

@@jimecker2149 Where am I from? Are you asking where I was raised, where I live now, or are you wanting to know from where/whom did I learn this?

ANDRA DAY WAS GREAT.THE BOSS,DIANA ROSS WAS ALSO. BILLIE HOLIDAY WAS THE GREATEST.SHE HERSELF HAD TO ENDURE IT ALL. SHE SANG FROM HER HEART AND SOUL,SHE WANTED PEOPLE TO REALLY SEE AND REALLY FEEL ALL THE REAL HATRED THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR HAD TO ENDURE,ITS STILL GOING ON TODAY,THEY JUST DRESS IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW DAYS.

THIS HERE GENERATION AND THE NEXT GENERATION TO COME YES THESE YOUNG PEOPLE YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT THEM BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO CHANGE THIS COLOR HATRED WORLD. YOU CAN SEE IT NOW,YEARS AGO THE YOUNGER PEOPLE WERE TOO AFRAID TO GO AGAINST THEIR DEEP RACIAL HATING FAMILY,THE FAMILIES THAT HATED BLACK.BROWN.RED.ANYONE THAT HAD COLOR,THEY WOULD DISOWN YOU EVEN IF YOU WENT NEAR THEM OR EVEN AS MUCH AS LOOK AT THEM AND ONLY HEAVEN FORBID IF YOU EVER SMILED AT THEM.THEY HAD THAT MUCH PLUS MORE HATE FOR THESE PEOPLE.THESE PEOPLE WHO THEM THEIRSELVES BROUGHT TO BE SLAVES,FOR THEMSELVES,YES,THESE BLACK PEOPLE WHO MADE THEM RICH.ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS SIT BACK AND WATCH THEM WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF AND IF THEY EVEN SHOWED A SIGN OF BEING TIRED ,THEN THATS WHEN THE WHIPS ON THEIR BACKS WOULD COME.AND IF THEY AS MUCH AS TRIED TO RUN THEN THATS WHEN THE HANGING WOULD COME.AND ANYONE WITH A BRAIN WOULD NEVER ASK WHY BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE WAY THEY ARE ? BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST HERE LATELY GIVEN A CHANCE TO DO BETTER,THEY WERENOT ALLOWED TO READ,WRITE,SPEAK RIGHT, UNTIL ONE PRESIDENT,MIND YOU IT TOOK THE 16THPRESIDENT TO (THANK GOD) GIVE?US SOME FREEDOM.BUT ONCE THESE YOUNG WHITE GENERATION REALLY SAT DOWN AND LOOK AT ALL READ ALL THEY CAN ABOUT THE BLACK RACE AND IF THEY HAVE A REAL HEART THEN THEY ALSO WILL WALK ALONG SIDE THEIR BLACK FRIENDS FOR A CAUSE THAT IS RIGHT. TRUE FRIENDS WILL NOT SEE NO COLOR. THEY WILL ONLY SEE WHAT IS RIGHT TO DO.THATS BEING REAL LOVE DO NOT HAVE NO COLOR.THANK GOD FOR BILLIE HOLIDAY SHE SANG WHAT SHE WASNT ALLOWED TO SAY.BECAUSE IT WAS THE TRUTH.ALSO EVEN BACK THEN,EVERYTHING WHITE WAS NOT THE ENEMY AND EVERYTHING BLACK WAS NOT THE FRIEND.PLEASE WHITE PEOPLE READ ALL YOUCAN ON BLACK PEOPLE,THE SAME WAY BKACK PEOPLE WAS MAINLY TAUGHT ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE.BLACK PEOPLE WERE RARELY TAUGHT ABOUT THEIR VERY OWN PEOPLE BUT THANK GOD WE CAN NOW READ AND READ ABOUT OUR VERY OWN PEOPLE. WHO HAS DONE GREAT THINGS EVEN GOOD THING,AND ALL THE OTHER RACES HAVE GOT THEIRS THAT THEY FELT WAS DUE THEM BUT TO THIS DAY BLACK PEOPLE STILL HAVENOT GOTTEN THEIRS.WHAT HAPPENED TO OURS?THE 40ACRES AND A MULE??????????????????????????????

The real sad story is the men who she chose to be with. This movie better point out her history of physical abuse if it wants my approval. I would've given her a lenient sentence for this reason, as being unable to escape abusive boyfriends played a major factor in her drug and alcohol addiction.
