Arguably, Ross's interpretation of Billy Holiday's music is unmatched by what I would say are even some of the greatest jazz singers of Billy's music era. Diana Ross did something very different with Billy's music that even decades after I saw the film I cannot describe why Diana Ross's Billy Holiday is still, for me, unparalleled and resonates with me beyond contemporaries who have tried to mimic not interpret Billy's Karma. Diana Ross sang Billy Holiday's music like Diana Ross which captured the melancholy of Billy's voice but more importantly Ross nailed the brokenness of a woman of color destined for greatness in the entertainment industry. Diana Ross is unmatched in her portrayal of Billy Holiday, PERIOD !

I swear, I will always love this movie.Im watching it now and I used to have the soundtrack to go it , which I lost before but I'm going to find it again The music that they play in the background is so nice.It alone brings tears to my eyes 👀 every time I hear it.If Diana Ross didn't win an academy award for this movie,she should have.And that's for real.
Go head ms.ross the boss a true artist showing how capable and comfortable and reverse and the depth of her artistry is ,and how as always how smooth her delivery of song is, and it seems to for some reason to make detractors jealous. Because there is no true reason anybody can say with honesty that Diana cannot sing jazz & blues . And when one says she meaning Diana Ross don't know jazz or some one says she cannot sing jazz & blues you know people hear you speaking even the very musician's that originally has been reported as saying Diana did those songs so well there is or was anyone that could have done those songs any better other than "Lady Day" . I believe as most people and the success of "Lady Sings The Blues can attest to that fact and the soundtrack was a smash hit scoring number (1) one the charts . And with that fact being said why would they get someone from Chicago or as another spoke Diana Ross don't know jazz " qoite ," unqoite and listen to those who spoke those words . Because they apparently got what they were looking for which was a stellar performance by All and I mean All and I especially mean Diana because the hate was aimed at her and she performance of each and every song in that movie and on record is bar none. That's just straight up hating and for what reason is so much venom spewing from some of the responses on here why so much hate
Good movie beautiful costumes and great music i saw this movie i believe I was in elementary school before I even knew who the great Billy Holliday was sad tragic life I wonder if she would of found peace and happiness if she hadn't become famous but yhe world wouldn't of been blessed with her talent and all the women in the music industry she inspired and always will
If you haven't seen the movie I recommend that you do especially of you appreciate great jazz all of you out there who are fans of Billy holiday what's your opinion of strange fruit
The first Motown motion picture which made others such as Trouble Man, The Mack, Hell Up In Harlem, Foxy Brown, Cooley High, Mahogany, and others after them to follow.
LOVE ALL THE LOVE AND LIGHT SHE SHINES INTO THE WORLD FOR AS MANY AS WILL PARTAKE OF IT, I AM ONE, LOVE IT , SWEET, HAVEN T BEEN THE SAME SINCE I DISCOVERED HER IN MY LATE 20 S , BUT THAT ACTING, SCRAMBLING TO TOUCH AND PLEASE BG, JR. IS SOMETHING SHE TEACHES US TO TAKE FROM HER AS WELL. ALL THE BENDING OVER BACKWARDS, GIVIN UP BUTT AND BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AIN'T GONNA MAKE A MAN MARRY YOU. GET SMART LIKE FLO DID LONG AGO, AND GIVE HIM UP....BG, JR. .TAKE BACK TO POWER, DIANA. YOU GALS MADE HIM WHO HE IS.

Well im not the biggest fan of Diana, i watch a ig video yesterday, find the word to describe her. ok 2 😁 elegant and fancy. and Dear Tesfaye, thank you. 😊💓
Diana Ross voice didn't change. She was introduced to and given different genres of music to sing. She was allowed to showcase her versatility as a singer. She sang more adult contemporary and R&B, and some disco. She has a wide and versatile voice.
She should have won the Oscar for best actress that year instead of Liza Minneli in cabaret,as it was so should have Cicley Tyson for her performance in Sounder...oh well can't dwell on the past,RIGHT 😊❤U DIANA...

Brilliant Diana got robbed
Why did Diana’s voice drastically change in the Mid 70’s ?
Diana Ross voice didn't change. She was introduced to and given different genres of music to sing. She was allowed to showcase her versatility as a singer. She sang more adult contemporary and R&B, and some disco. She has a wide and versatile voice.

Un 👄💋
.
Michael Jackson wrote His first song about His mother Diana Ross. It's called Blues Away.
digna
Why isnt someone talking about how she broke Michaels heart
You worry about that bull s*&t.
Maybe because she didn’t
Diana Ross don't know blues!!!
They should've got coco Taylor or went to Chicago to pick out a women blues singer
@@MrTeatreeoil who?
@@Johnnyiswhere nobody lol
LOL…yeah, let’s tell a black woman who grew up in the projects she doesn’t know blues. Gtfoh
She should have won the Oscar for best actress that year instead of Liza Minneli in cabaret,as it was so should have Cicley Tyson for her performance in Sounder...oh well can't dwell on the past,RIGHT 😊❤U DIANA...
