La cantante de jazz de los años 30 Billie holiday una.brillante intérprete para las nuevas generaciones del futuro. Jorge de peru

Andra Day nailed her speaking voice. I can't get over the similarity.

Hello 👋 lulubelle How are you doing today

I’m so sorry you think that trash is an accurate portrayal of her life, in addition so sorry that’s what probably brought you here.

No matter wut brought u here u came to learn more about Billie holiday an that's a great thing... although there was a few creative liberties sources close to Billie one being her god child was quoted in sayin he was happy that the record was finally gng to be set straight that the movie was as close to the truth as it gets...it was hard to pin down everything about Billie but wut will always be known about her was that she was an amazing woman with a strong passionate voice....and fyi it was closer to her book then the 1972 make starring Diana Ross...keep seeking knowledge wutever the subject matter 💜💜💜💜

Yeah, but I wonder if he did this for white singers ?

@@stephdrake2521I agree it was very disrespectful. Telling her what to do.

Her life WASNT sad. It was a normal human life with ups and downs, and one thing that’s clear from those that were close to her, she ENJOYED her life and did as she pleased most of the time

@@dddddadadad1796 getting beat up to the point that they had to tape up her ribs in order for her to be able to stand is not “normal”….getting hounded by the FBN, so much so that the head of the FBN kept going after her, even on her deathbed…this is not “normal”. Her life was sad, in my opinion. Who are you to tell someone what they feel? If the person thinks what the woman went through was sad she is entitled to say so, comment so and believe so.

Those were taken in her younger days.

Story of my life in reverse smh. Nobody cares about me. Just my mind/music/poetry/profit. Im just a dollar sign to females. Niggaz. Police. The army. Nigga im not even treated fucking human. I cant take life anymore. Its torture. I swear to GOD Annie i almost committed suicide today I swear to fucking GOD. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM EVERYBODY. ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY. GOD IF I DIED TODAY WOULD I HAVE GONE TO HELL? SURELY NOT RIGHT? BECAUSE I NEVER ASKED FOR ANY OF THIS. INCLUDING THE ATTEMPTS ON MY LIFE FROM MY MOMMA. HER NIGGA. THEY KIDS. ROOMATES WHO WERE WITH POLICE. THEM 2 OTHER NIGGAZ. MY OWN FAM IN MILWAUKEE. THE KIRBY HOE THE JOHNSON BROAD. NIGGA EVERYBODY WANTS ME DEAD. PLEASE ANNIE TALK TO GOD FOR ME.

what did she say ? was it " You give me word advance on that one?" Did I hear correctly?

@@elizabethbaron9387 In her own way, she was not impressed by his talents.

michael morgan 😩😰

all the men did not care just her money

Nothing like the man in the movie at all. :-(

@@sayitloudblcknproud exactly McKay was portrayed as her rock!

@@ruthfrank8106 McKay was a consult in the movie He got paid for that too

Thsnk you. I was angry about that too

YES!!! It's infuriating hearing him speak to her like this. The audacity of white men, telling her how to perform her own songs!!!

How do you know? You watched this interview? I am trying to find on the web and theres nothing.

Billie Holiday was VERY light skinned. At times when she's darker it's because she got some sun or her managers made her wear darker makeup to blacken her up.

If you mean at 08.50. He says. “Got me crying”

Yes, he did. But it’s not like a new word or not a historically legitimate word. I know some may think it’s slang or just something trendy but it’s not.

Please....another person who watched the interview. where is it?

Do your own research ... stop trying to steal other folks words. She’s worth the research.

How old are you? Just curious from your comment...

She had a potty mouth...

Funny just as I'm listening to this and reading the comments, I'm thinking, "Damn dude sounds domineering af!" Then I see your comment. Maybe it's the contrast between his tone and hers, but he definitely seemed to take a "do as I say" approach to the interview...

11:55 (smdh) he asked 😒 Billie if you were stuck on a desert island, which records could you listen to forever? Billie says a few of her favorites like Pops aka Satchmo, Nat King, Count Basie etc. Then he says: "we could imprison you & you'd stay warm." 😒 You can tell he was trying to set her off. Then 👑Queen giggles a lil like, the *only* reason why I'm not showing you the *REAL BILLIE HOLIDAY* tuh-day is because I just spent a year and a day in jail when I should have been TREATED the same as others in the business with addiction *Judy Garland* so yea, *tee hee* 😒. I'll see you dem streets! Billie was a bad ass! She beat two grown men for disrespecting her and putting their cigarette 🚬 out on her fur coat. She could handle herself when necessary. At 106 in the spirit world, Billie is still loved and adored by many. No one remembers this interviewer.

You sound so simple

Shes not drunk you fucking moron! PS. youve obviously been smoking something judging by the incomprehensible drivel youve somehow managed to type
