I SO appreciate Drew's reverent presence and thoughtfulness in this interview allowing Ms. Day to share about her own process as well as reveal Lady Day's spirit on such a deep level. This was truly rewarding to watch. THANK YOU! 🙏🏽❤
Actually, Drew's question is one that everyone should answer for themselves. It speaks to how one was or wasn't impacted by Billie Holiday's truth. Lady Day's fight is still very relevant today since the anti-lynching bill was NOT passed on the Senate floor last year in 2020.
@@Pinky-kb2hd I remember the first time andra day first came out I say wow this woman voice is beautiful I'm expecting alot from her, but for sure her career was a slow burner which is to me is good I dont want her to disappear to fast. For herself to land this role make alot of sense she fit it.
Andra Day’s performance was perfection. Yes, I do hold Billie Holiday’s life in a whole new way. I see her in a place of civil rights crusader who was also a talented artist.❤️❤️✌🏾
I’m not too familiar with Billie, I’m a 90s baby. but ... I loved Andra portrayal of Billie. What stuck out to me the most in the film was her tone and voice! It was raspy and interesting .
Drew Barrymore nailed that last question and Andra Day really came through with that answer. Respect to both of you for really doing this interview justice.
Thank you Andra Day for your tenacious commitment to bringing light to a multi-complex personality, so that people could feel her humanity. This was an informative movie against a delicious artistic back-drop. The blend of the artist and the activist, the frustration of being both in the box of a society that says u have to choose!! OR DIE!!!!! Andra & Lee did a phenomenal job of Ms Holiday's portrayal. And I also love the way how Andra Day is always so humble, down to earth, and REAL in all her interviews.
Been a fan of Billie Holliday's since I was a kid and fully began to really understand her lyrics and meanings of her songs. I have been a fan of Andra Day for several years and when it was announced that Andra was going to play her I was very excited and now I am looking forward to watching this film! This interview was done very well and I am looking forward to more content from you Drew! God bless and stay safe!!
I have a soft spot in my heart for Drew ever since FireStarter. Her beginnings were rough but she has always been a diamond. I'm so glad she mad it through. Also I love Billie Holiday her music is life.😍
Andra's performance of Billie was so amazing, so amazing, poignant, depressing, it went to my soul.. But it makes sense when you here how much time (2 years) and effort (going from not drinking to drinking and smoking regularly, from abstinent to embodying a sexual/sensual person, and shout out her acting coach Tasha Smith who deserves so many flowers for the work she does behind the scenes), it makes her mind-blowing portrayal understandable because she put in the WORK and sacrifice to honor a LEGEND. RIH beautiful Billie
This movie was so Amazing!! Ms. Andra did a Fabulous job playing Billie Holiday!! My eyes were glued to the tv while I watched it!! And I Adore Drew!! Love you Drew!
Andra Day was amazing playing the role of Billie Holiday , I could not look away for a second , I really love the way the movie allowed us to see Holiday from a different perspective.
I too read many autobiographies books on billie holiday and was very empathetic on what she been through all her life.I would read lots of material that I can get my hands on.I was always fascinated by her life and story.I even saw the first movie about her when Diana Ross play her along with other stars like billie dee Williams.
Yes, but Andra commented that she started drinking real alcohol and smoking real cigars leading up to those scenes, to help her mentally prepare and understand her moods and addictions... and to even help with capturing Billie’s voice (she mentioned that last part in another interview).
@@RobynAnnL thank you for that correction I wanted to do it but I thought it was obvious that they didn’t use real drugs in the movie hahahaha I was talking about her actual life
@@joshuagilmore7206 I think she said she did her research for 2 or 3 years. Not sure when she started the smoking and drinking. If it was for the whole 2 or 3 years or just a year or a few months before. And she said she practices abstinence from sex, so she isn't as sexual as she portrayed in the movie. She did a great job.
This was an excellent interview, Drew has really found another niche'. Andra did an amazing job and to have the actress be able to discuss it, would need a great interviewer and that is what happened here. Great job ladies.
I have a lot in common with Andre Day because I was also fascinated with Billie Holiday when I was young and read a lot of material on her including several autobiographies.Everytime I ran into a book or information on her I was quick to read it.I always empathize what she went through.
Andra is pure brilliance. I watched the movie last night (finally, because I Wanted to give it undivided attention in my busy life) an I am STILL thinking about it, which is why I am here now watching promo on the film from the brilliant singer turned award winning actress - Andra Day
As a life long admirer of Ms. Holiday I love her, her music, and how she pulled you into every song she ever sang, especially strange fruit; let me tell you that after watching this movie, I had a deeper more profound respect and love for Lady Day .
This movie was awesome! The likeness of Lady Day was EVERYTHING 💕 Andra Day you nailed HUNTY ❤️❤️I got sad listening to the song Strange Fruit was so real to my ancestors.
This movie totally caught me off guard , i was unaware of the struggles of billie holiday and her traumatic childhood, but the respect she garnered not only by the black community, but the throngs of white people all over the world, she is a wonder! I am in awe of Andra days performance, as well as the supporting cast, i was touched by this movie in part that i am african american and i am a recovering drug addict, i have experienced the hopelessness and the horrors of addiction, it was a struggle for her because she was so famous! she was hurting so bad because of the treatment of of her people and her raging desire for drugs, to help her cope with all of her pain!
She was phenomenal as Billie Holiday and her first acting role she probably just play a good Eartha Kitt I mean really who knows maybe they'll do one on this Earth
"How should I listen to her now?" Drew, you nailed the interview with that question. VERY well done.
Andrea NAILED the ANSWER!✊🏾
Exactly. I never knew this history about Holiday. Don't you just love the government 🙃
‘How should I listen to her now?’. Such a deep and respectful question.
My thoughts exactly. What a beautiful, thoughtful question.
That's what Drew does!!
Billie Holiday was and still is an icon. Her music is like no other ❤️.
Or is it just like Macy grays
@@uncoverthetruth8365 it’s really not though
Drew still sounds like she did as a little girl 👧🏼... so welcoming and enthusiastic
I agree with Drew, she really did embody Billie, heart, mind, and soul. I am glad she won the Golden Globe. She earned it!
I SO appreciate Drew's reverent presence and thoughtfulness in this interview allowing Ms. Day to share about her own process as well as reveal Lady Day's spirit on such a deep level. This was truly rewarding to watch. THANK YOU! 🙏🏽❤
So her voice was really startling because she transformed on every level! Wow!
She deserves and Oscar for this role. She did an amazing job.
She does, becuz she did the damn thing!!
If she doesn’t win an Oscar and a Globe then award shows should be done away with entirely. Period!!!
Actually, Drew's question is one that everyone should answer for themselves. It speaks to how one was or wasn't impacted by Billie Holiday's truth. Lady Day's fight is still very relevant today since the anti-lynching bill was NOT passed on the Senate floor last year in 2020.
Is this really true I NEVER KNEW that I'm so shocked? Please is this really true?
@@angelaslack4843 yes sadly smfh
She did an amazing job performing Billie Holiday watched 6 times already on Hulu.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
Whoooooa 6 times?
That's mean she really embodied billie holiday
@@MrBlackBono yes she did!
Yessss I agree , I’m on my 4th time and it seems like each time I see something new that I missed the previous time 💜🙌🏾🙌🏾😫

I see audrea day in a whole new light
I think that Billie would be PROUD!!!
Andra Day’s performance was perfection. Yes, I do hold Billie Holiday’s life in a whole new way. I see her in a place of civil rights crusader who was also a talented artist.❤️❤️✌🏾
She could also play a young Eartha Kit..
Yessssssss❤❤❤❤❤❤
That child "did that!" She played that role!!!!!!!!! She acted her whole can off!!!!!!
I’m not too familiar with Billie, I’m a 90s baby. but ... I loved Andra portrayal of Billie. What stuck out to me the most in the film was her tone and voice! It was raspy and interesting .
Love them both omg, she's so beautiful

I never seen Billie perform before but I feel like Andra did her justice she made me believe it was real and on point

Wait a minute she doesn’t smoke or drink. She started just for a character.woah that’s deep

I like " Speak low "the bent remix version of Billy Holiday
Andra day was incredible in this film
Her and riri look just alike
Stunning 🙂 can't wait to see
Drew looks amazing i love Billie Holiday true icon 🥰🥰🥰🥰
As a life long admirer of Ms. Holiday I love her, her music, and how she pulled you into every song she ever sang, especially strange fruit; let me tell you that after watching this movie, I had a deeper more profound respect and love for Lady Day .
Excellent interview!
Everytime I listen to her I always expect Rihiannas voice.
Omg she looks like my riri🥰😍
Just Wow
Andra is so beautiful
This movie was awesome! The likeness of Lady Day was EVERYTHING 💕 Andra Day you nailed HUNTY ❤️❤️I got sad listening to the song Strange Fruit was so real to my ancestors.
It is still real to us now. There were 3 black young men lynched in 2020.
Wonderful!!!
If there is ever a film about Josephine Baker, Miss Day would be amazing playing her.
This movie totally caught me off guard , i was unaware of the struggles of billie holiday and her traumatic childhood, but the respect she garnered not only by the black community, but the throngs of white people all over the world, she is a wonder!

She resembles riri 😍
Oscar to Andra Day
Shes too do Eartha Kitt with her voice her next project
It was hard going from Diana Ross in Lady Sings The Blues to this version of Billie Holiday
Great
She was phenomenal as Billie Holiday and her first acting role she probably just play a good Eartha Kitt I mean really who knows maybe they'll do one on this Earth
Where is the movie playing at? Thank you for helping me😊
Hulu
❤️❤️❤️
Drews makeup is so pretty
They should do a Movie Biopic about the Ronettes and Veronica and her life Married to Phil Spector that would be Something he was an animal
wow three years
