This movie needs more promotion cause i ain’t heard about it until this video randomly popped up
Diana Ross play Lady Day back in the 70's you should watch the movie
not a mumbling word!!
@@ursularhoward3626 This one is different.
@@JoopSloot Tell you the beginning of Lady Day story like I said before watch the one with Diana Ross and the one with Andra Day is playing ending of Ms. Billie Holiday story
@@ursularhoward3626 I know the Diana version.
She said your grandkids will be singing strange fruit and I got chills because we do and it’s been used till this day as song samples 🙌🏾
No lie was told, she knew she was making history 💯💯. I'm so ready to see this movie.
@@TMYPiscesSunandMoonRising5548 me too 💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Right
Me too
Andra Day could play Eartha Kitt also! Her resemblance is uncanny!
She can
For some strange reason, I thought for a brief moment that it was Eartha Kitt! She's one of my favorite actresses❤
I jus got goose bumps 👀🥀🥀🥀👻👻👻👻
If she could act. She is stunning and has a mesmerizing voice but the acting looked flat to me 🤷🏾♀️
Matt Toledo I totally agree she would be a perfect fit to play Eartha Kitt the resemblance is remarkable
"she's made something of herself, and you can't take it, because she's strong, beautiful and black"
That gave me chills...I considered myself knowledge, but I never knew this! The government man....
That was it for me too
@@shariffbrown04 makes you wonder why the government involvement wasn't even mentioned in Lady Sing the Blues.
gave me chills
"Those lyrics provoke people" NO, YOUR actions, misdeeds provoke people.
@Lex The ACTIONS and ATTITUDES were the REASON for this song having been written. The lyrics reminded people who turned a blind or failed to see the horror and inhumanity of lynching culture towards the black citizens. The "powers that be" only worried that not only the black citizens but others would take action against the racist system and disturb the sick normality of hunting, burning, castrating, r@p!ng, beating, false imprisonment, lynching and everything else that's goes with systematic racism if the song was performed regularly. It has NOTHING to do with what KIDS allegedly listen to NOW. Strange Fruit lyrics are sobering and still need to be heard as the knee jerk response to acknowledging and remembering slavery, Jim Crow and the LONG REACHING affects of it on this country is "GET OVER IT".
“...she’s made something of herself and you can’t take it....because she’s strong, beautiful, and black.” powerful and true words, and i look forward to learning more through this film, and seeing Andra Day accepting her Oscar.
Periodt!
With a capital T
All you Karen’s really try to be down for the cause
@@criscris1840 let's not judge. Why would she post her comment if she didn't mean it. Sha wasn't put on the spot.
YESH BLACK BLACK WE GET IT
The actress reminds me of Eartha. We need us an Eartha Kitt movie too Hollywood!
What's awesome is she's actually a singer and songwriter. This was her taking a leap of faith. This is her first real acting role.
We need a GOOD Eartha Kitt flick. Let's be clear.
@Mr. CHARLIE Hey my name is Charlie too! Don't disrespect the queen Eartha though! That's private business lol
I will reinstate my Hulu account just to see this film.
and buy vpn cause hulu is not available in uk
me too!!!
@Rajnhye Wright - Was just thinking the same thing! Can't wait.........
Same
YEP! Just like i went back to Netflix for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.....
I like how they pointed out EVERYTHING in her prime.. her addiction, her jail time, her crew, her bisexuality. This movie going to win awards! ‼️
Sounds like Lady Sings the Blues
Her entire life was prime. She died in her 40s.
And Andra Day literally won one for it today. 🙌🏾
Her bisexuality is only vaguely hinted at in the film. The kiss between her and Natasha Lyonne (Tallulah Bankhead) is cut from the film.
The Feds ruined her. On purpose. It's a terribly tragic story, and I hope that this movie tells all of it, so people will know what heartless sadists those Feds were, who forced that truth-telling queen off the stage and into a tragic, early death.
Yes, let the truth be told. So many black artists in the USA they tried taking out. Many did not survive but their legacy lives on.
I had no idea until now the despicable racism she endured that led to her downfall. So sick.
It's what the Fed's do they infiltrate and destroy anything that can help black people prosper or overcome in any way
@@ritapreston3809 yes, that part.
They did the same to NWA, Tupac and Michael Jackson !!! They don't like woke black artists they're affraid of their political power.
This is going to be another great black biopic. She fully embodies Lady Day. From the way she talks to the way she sings "Strange Fruit". A lot of us (African-Americans) need this movie right now. We need to know more about our past icons.
Amen !!!
@@suzygirl1843 Well, name any biopic where they haven't twisted the story. All biopics are fiction and myth. This looks like a great story to tell about Billie Holliday, though. Maybe one that finally honours her properly. (Diana Ross and Richard Pryor did some great work in 'Lady Sings The Blues', but it was the tragic-hopeless-drug-addict version of the story, and Ross is a radically different singer.) Fingers crossed!
@@suzygirl1843 Totally fair. You're right. The Zoe Saldana thing was a slap in the face to a genius, and of course it was horrible colourism. There are so many actors in the world who would have been much more suited to the role. I have some hopes about this one. This feels like a story about Billie Holliday that needs to be told. Especially right now.
@@suzygirl1843 I don't know enough about these moviemakers to know if that's fair. Is it a bunch of white film-makers? If so, then I understand you being suspicious. But this might also be a story that really NEEDS to be told, especially right now. It all depends on who has control of this production.
@@suzygirl1843 Ray
I named my first daughter Billie after her. She is such a star, such an inspiration, such a force, such a cherishable jewel of a person.
Now that was a fine compliment...
I wanna do that but I fear people will think it’s after Billie eilish bc I’m that age
@@lanietalk ah who cares. Billie Eilish is a fine musician but she aint no Billie Holiday, so I am sure time passes on and you know ::) -- plus, just add a middle name that kinda sets the record straight like ... i dont know - not Jean tho :D
@@lanietalk maybe because you're white... just saying
My high school English teacher played Strange Fruit for us in class one day and I bawled my eyes out. I can’t wait for this to come out
That is a great teacher. It should be part of every American high school English, social studies, and music curriculum.
This movie has been 5 years in the making and finally on time! Now we can see what the Diana Ross part in “Lady Sings The Blues” never showed us....Billie Holiday’s political side!
I truly loved Diana Ross in "Lady Sings the Blues" but you're absolutely right - the film focused on the personal and professional sides but not the political.
You cannot compare both movies. The Diana Ross movie was filmed almost 50 years ago. It was a big deal to make a big budget movie with black stars in the lead roles. Times were very different and that movie was ground breaking in its own way and in its own time.
And dont forget the Audra McDonald movie were she played Billie Holiday and was outstanding and gorgeous.
Agreed
This is how you honor Billie Holiday in her truth. She deserves respect for her contributions. Far beyond mere scandal she was complex and brave.
Let's celebrate this musical genius in all her complexity.
Billie Holiday was the Queen of Jazz. Andra Day I know you will make “Lady Day” proud. Rock it my Sista.
I saw Andra Day, the actress who played Nicky in oitnb, I saw Miss Lawrence, and I saw the guy who played Chris in everybody hates chris and Lee Daniels name. I'm watching this, I already have a Hulu subscription. I'm ready.
Ms. Day’s voice can calm anyone...deep but soothing 🥰
Diana Ross was outstanding in lady sings the blues and should have won that Oscar ! so maybe this time they will give the 0scar to Andra Day for best actress
Yes, Diana Ross did a PHENOMENAL job...
@@michaelangelotaylor8th exceptional job. Along with Richard Pryor. Tha child that gots its own!
Audra McDonald played Billie Holiday a few years ago. She won many awards for her portrayal. Ms. McDonald performance was beautiful.
@@michaelangelotaylor8th : Diana performance was nice but the actress and tony award winner Audra McDonald has the best performance of Billie.
@@buckisz yup, you're right...they BOTH did amazing!
All the things that “Lady Sings The Blues” could not touch 👀
EXACTLY!!!!! MY SISTA Lee is about to go in on some hurt feelings and the mutha freakin truth and l am all the way here for it !!!!
Lady Sings The Blues , was amazing just in the fact that it was made at all!!!! Remember it was 1972, and it showed addiction in a way that had never been shown before. A full scale African American production. We must respect that film for making it possible to make this film.
@@marcussimeone1311 Agree!!! had never really looked at it that way but hell yeah youre so right .
@@marcussimeone1311 you are 100% right
@@marcussimeone1311 - Well said!
Andra Day is breathtaking 😩💖
She should've never let that last husband take over her money, "keep your bank accounts separate" that's what my mom used to always say
My mama taught me the same thing. To always always have a separate account that is mine and mine alone and to make sure I have two months rent in there at all times.
@@dthompson1313 Well, FIRST, you have to MAKE money. No dough, no worry.
Your mum was wrong sorry🙏🏽🙏🏽 How ever her choice in man should ov bin the teaching🙏🏽🙏🏽 nothing is separate in marriage as long as you invested in the right person
Goddamn it it’s about time they gave young black actors the stage for their turn to shine . Now don’t get me wrong I love seeing older , more known black actors but praise be the lord for putting smile on my lockdowned face . 🤣
I agree.
You think I'm going to stop singing that? Your grandkids will be singing strange fruit. Oh gawwd. If only we still had people like Billie
We do. But the filthy music over the airwaves is the strange fruit.
We do.
I still hear Billie on the radio every day, on the swing and jazz stations, same as I did back in the 1950s when I was a kid. Her voice and artistry never fail to thrill me. I think she's the most awesome voice of the 20th century.
Andra Day, Academy Award Nominee will change to Academy Award Winner 🏆👑
Her Or Jennifer Hudson In Respect
Hopefully 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
If Jennifer Hudson and Andra Day are both nominated thats gonna be tough...in 1973 Diana Ross and Cicely Tyson were both nominated that year..Tyson 4 Sounder and Ross 4 Lady Sings The Blues.. They were beat out by Liza Minnelli 4 Cabarert..
Naw I cant see her winning an Academy award. Andra Day is a good singer but not a strong enough actress.
About time this story was told 🙏🏽hope they do it justice.
This story truly needs to be told big props for Lee Daniels bringing this project to light
Billie holiday This is going to be a very deep dark but interesting movie on civilization
I'm damn near in tears watching the trailer. Ms. Holiday, deserves this movie. Thank you all for doing this.
this woman's voice - shit felt so light and airy like a comforting little cloud just lightly hovering over the audience - my god there will never be another....she deserved so much better! a long life with a whole lotta fucken respect! kmt damn this world
This looks so good! Billie Holiday had such a tragic life
Babbbbbby!!! You damn right I’m watching this with my girls!! Teach our babies the reality of of strength and influence to change this fuxked up world!!!!! I love Billie Holiday amongst the others she was a Queen before her time however she still reigns!!! What a joy! Thank you! 💖
@Mr. CHARLIE - With your comment 'you' exposed yourself & removed any doubt that you are an azz. Ignorance such as yours is why both women, and people of color are still fighting for respect and the right to exist without being harassed. But I don't expect you to understand that.
I can’t wait Andra Day gonna kill it 😩🙌🏾
I've been a Billie Holiday STAN for years (I have a portrait tattoo of her on my forearm) and I've been waiting so long for a movie that's worthy of her. I'm SO SO excited to see this!
This Queen threw down on that Production applause applause, clap clap clap 👊🏾👊🏾
This film was outstanding it focused mainly ON HER CAREER, its twists and turns and not just attributions of her private life. The insinuations were enough for adults to understand the references and kept the film with continuity about what she OFFERED to the world, HER VOICE & TENACITY. Thank you Lee Daniel's for presenting a film where sexuality was not the focus, and you gave us an EXCEPTIONAL VIEW of the life and forced upon tragedy of The Great Lady Day. Adra Day was the most perfect choice EVER!!!! P.S. Stay this course, the film was exceptional and exquisitely tasteful.
When he said she's got something you can't take away from her because she's strong beautiful and black I almost started to cry because it's true she was such a beautiful black woman but had a really difficult life and you could hear the pain and sorrow in her voice when she sang.
This movie deserves a lot of movie awards and trophies 🏆
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lam so here for that , l haven't felt chills for a movie like this since well....Lady Sings the Blues, I was a kid w/that movie premiered and l KNEW it would change my life and it did ...i feel the exact same way about this one. Ms.Andrea O'Day has willed this opportunity for herself since she came onto the scene, when l saw her and herd her sound l instantly thought BILLIE HOLIDAY !!!
Each time I listen to Strange Fruit, I cry.
MS. DAY ABSOLUTELY,,,POSITIVELY OWNED THIS ROLE!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!
Just read this amazing book about the war on drugs and was devasted that as I’m not American that was the first I heard of Billie holiday, she had such a difficult childhood and can’t wait to see her story unfold on screen
Had to comment on this. So I just saw this last night and boy I might say it was the best. Billy was before my time but I love love her music. I am so proud that she fought in what she believed in. Her childhood was a bit dark and I cried but but she made it. But even in spite of her being judge all the time with her issues, (and we all have issues) she is SUPERSTAR in my eyes and a beautiful INSPIRATION to me and I am sure to many other people/women in our world. May her music live forever.
Hulu with this. Amazon prime with one night in Miami. Good times!
That picture of her in the grey pin stripe suit and the piece of hair on the top of her head I seen before the vocals is killing it I can't wait till the sound track is released
Not only does she look like her, her voice it’s spot on!
Crying already....
This just gave me chills like I haven't had in a looong time
Congratulations Andra Day on your Golden Globe nomination! First a Golden Globe, next will be an Oscar! I can’t wait to see this movie! Andra sings and talks like Billie Holiday!
she looks so beautiful
I’m in tears. Good ones. Can’t wait to watch
Love her music, Andra Day is the Bee's Knees.
Absolutely love the casting and New faces!!
Need her to play Eartha Kitt now
I sang "Strange Fruit" in a College play. This brings back memories for sure....
Incredible voice. Incredible talent. Incredible human
and incredible courage for ( strange fruit 1939)
sorry and beautiful woman 😍😘
Finally, someone made a film about the great Lady Day. Monroe spoke up for her when she was barred from singing in nightclubs.
30 days out of high school & living on my own I discovered and old LP at a thrift store....Billie Holiday. 75 cents. I didn't know who she was, but fell in love with her face. Then her music. God Bless the Child and more. Her voice and her phrasing, I was again in love. Strange fruit, yeah I was so young I wasn't able to connect the dots. Years later, I did. Stunning! What an unmatched talent.
I thought I saw Eartha Kitts face b4 I read the caption but I will absolutely watch Billy Holliday with my kids! While she was on the stand 4 questioning, I hope she sang parts of her song in response! U won’t stop that song or her generational impact!
My face is 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I NEED TO SEE THIS
This movie is a must-watch!!!
Wow I've never had chills for three minutes straight!
I've been Praying for so many years that they tell the real story about her!!!! What we read about in the history books THIS IS IT!!!
a cinematic masterpiece
I might have to get hulu just for this. What a legend. And that song makes me weep every single time.
God bless the child that has his own.
Love her. The song is amazing, if you don't sob hearing it or watching this; then your heart is cold.
I could cry I have been waiting for this. So many of my generation don’t even know her name. This movie has been needed.
Strange fruit...began the smear campaign. The truth of that song was too much for most to bear..
I remember hearing that song on tales from the hood
Holy Crap. What a great performance!!! Academy Award time for Ms Day!!
I got chills. I love Billie Holiday and I've been waiting for her to receive her just due on film.
🥰 WE LOVE YOU BILLIE HOLIDAY! Your voice still rings true, stands bold and beautifully black. STRONG WOMEN, NEVER FORGOTTEN! 😘 🥰
Such a remarkable artist beautiful soul and amazing voice...... I remember my grandmother putting her music on to cook....what a classic beauty 😍 Billy Holiday was a individual who strive to make it at such a young age had it ruff growing up and died way to soon at age 44.....rest ez beautiful your music will live on
I fully grabbed my heart when she said "your grandkids will be singing strange fruit"
i am 40yrs. old and I have ALWAYS LOVED Billie Holiday and always will❣💖💖
I have 2see this, 🎵📻when I was young use to listen to🎵🎵 Billie a lot, I still do ❣️❣️now&then.... My mother & Father actually saw her live, not long b4 she died .....somewhere on the east coast. ✝️🥀🥀🥀🥀✝️🥀💮💮💮💮💮✝️💮💮💮💮💮 🦋🕊️🦋🕊️🦋🕊️🦋🕊️

I got chills just watching this trailer. Cant wait to watch!
I'm definitely watching this
When this DVD comes out it goes on my personal collection
what is a "DVD"?
DVD wow
The movie in DVD disc
I cannot wait for this! Looks like a brilliant work of art.
I cant wait 4 this to come out...Great time to show it too...I like the fact that its a different telling of Billie story..The stuff that the 1972 Film LADY SINGS THE BLUES couldn't even touch....Its time now...
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here waiting for an Eartha Kitt biopic.
Under a Billie Holiday thread?
@@gaden74 - Probably because Audra Day looks so much like Eartha Kitt in this trailer.
@@LoveHappinessShineOn and
@@gaden74 - And...pretty much that. Also, in the replies a lot of other people have noticed her resemblance to Eartha Kitt and are hoping for biopic about her. So she's not alone.
@@LoveHappinessShineOn ....Aaannddd
Wow this is a must see 👀 movie.
Yes we do sing it!!
I can't wait to see this movie...I love Billie Holiday and listen to her as a young 16 year old not really understanding the words, but knew in my young head her music seemed sad to me.
Dang! I wish this was on other platforms.
I can’t wait to see this, “sophisticated lady” is my favorite!
First time I heard and read Strange Fruit was in english class. Made me cry and upset
Oh you had me @ Lee Daniels. I will be watching this film. Idk who the actress is playing Billie, but I look forward to seeing more of her in this film.
She is a singer, her hit song is "Rise Up"-Andra Day. You should look her up
@@carameldoll96 She can SANG!
Did I see Monique @ 0:40 and 0:42? Lee Daniels and Monique worked out their differences??? Yay, I hope so!
@@MostlyVintageVoices Girl, YESS!!!
Love the voice!
Wow didn’t know Andra could act. Can’t wait to see this!
Wow this role is made for Andra day she is perfect as Bille holiday looking forward to seeing this
YES THIS NEEDS MORE PROMOTION. IT LOOKS VERY POWERFUL. THE YOUNG SHOULD SEE THIS ONE.
Her story needs to be HEARD!!! She was more than an entertainer she was LOUD when our ppl needed a voice. She was COURAGEOUS when others wanted her to be timid. She was BOLD, BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait to watch this movie.
I want to watch and learn from this movie.
This trailer makes me want to see "Lady Sings the Blues" again!!! Diana Ross was amazing in that film!! One of my all time favorite movies!!!
..I agree and mine too..I have The Soundtrack on Vynal, Cassette and Cd...Thats how much I love this Movie...Im glad a new Generation..is gonna see this tho.
I instantly got chills. Can’t wait for this to come out.
Love love seeing true history. I'm so excited to see it 👍🏼
