Now I can understand why Prince just decided to play himself in his biopic. 😂 I don't blame him one bit 😂
🤣🤣🤣 me either
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 I would of done it too just played myself in my own biopic😂😂
In my life I learn that all biopics are trash
Lol right , I low key feel like Mary J and Chaka Khan are both gonna do it for theirs .. everytime they’re asked about their biopics they never have a clue who could play them 😂😂😂
I’d do it too especially if I’m young enough looking to play my younger self
Zendaya dodged a fucking missile lmfao.
Not a missile 😂😂
A whole nuclear bomb
More like A rocket 😂 .
I low key think she would have done a great job as Aaliyah. Like the woman in the video says it was a bad choice because the girl was biracial...but it's not like Aaliyah is that much darker than Zendaya. And Denzel nailed Malcolm X despite not being the same skin tone. I don't know if Zendaya would have been that much better in terms of singing, but she is a Disney kid so acting and singing is in her alley. Her being biracial is not a good enough reason to exclude her from the role because we all have some racial mix in us, especially people who are lighter skinned--so even if their parents might be other light skinned black people or they may have a light skinned parent and dark-skinned parent, doesn't mean genetically they have that much more than someone who is a 50/50 split due to having a black parent and a white parent. So many biracial people are Aliyah's complexion, some may even be darker.
@@drethethinker6418 oh brother. Stop. Having a biracial person playing a black woman wouldn’t have made sense. Not to mention they look nothing alike. Zendaya even said herself that she doesn’t like her singing voice.
Zoe Saldana doing black face is insane ,exactly what Nina stood against .Shows exactly what’s wrong with Hollywood .Trying to tell us we are too black to play our own Icons damn💔 .
That was crazy
When will people realise, it's a demonic industry. If anything looks good it's a shock. Don't look to them to do accurate and decent portrayals
She did a great job.
The Bobby DeBarge biopic is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. The wigs were definitely on sale at Party City.
Ha ha ha ha
😂😂😂😂😂 💀
I didn't even know they had a movie out about him
@@Cardenas50zz58I SWEAR I didn’t either. 😂😂😂
Omg😂😂😂
Them tacky wigs were abysmal
So we can admit Angela Bassett deserved an Oscar for What’s Love Got To With It
Facts
One of the best, if not the best music biopics of all time
Hell yes she definitely deserves an Oscar because she had me ready to murder Ike lol
Hell yes she definitely deserves an Oscar because she had me ready to murder Ike lol
@@JC-yy8iv it was great entertainment, but wasn’t very accurate and portrayed Ike like some talentless maniac and Tina as an Angel.
That MJ Biopic is UNFORGIVABLE 😭💀💀💀
Even MJ did not like it.
😂😂🤣 I swear , I don’t think Flex has worked since then lol
@@sistamaryclarence 😭😭😭😭
@@sistamaryclarence lmaoooo I haven't seen him in anything since... that MJ biopic was worse than Homeboys from Outta Space
Boyyyyy Flex ass was bogus as hell !
They could’ve easily cast India Arie or Viola Davis as Nina Simone.
India Arie wouldve been an awesome choice!
Exactly...Thank You
They should have chosen that actress who stars in Chewing Gum she looks just like Nina.
@@Victoriaistalented now that you mention it, Michaela Coel would be PERFECT to play her!
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvisedsure would have!
I actually think something that was forgotten about Zendaya withdrawing from the role of Aaliyah was that the big reason why was because Zendaya wanted the blessing of the family but because she couldn’t find a way to contact them, out of respect she left the role. Zendaya REALLY did care about wanting to do Aaliyah’s legacy proud and she really about not wanting to hurt the family and Aaliyah’s legacy whereas Aaliyah’s actress was…..
Someone who clearly cared more about getting that big name biopic on her IMDb page than actually properly celebrating Aaliyah’s legacy
I don't believe that story of Zendayas for a second.
She was already signed on.
Youre telling me she signed on and THEN wanted the family blessing? 🤣
Nope. She didn't like the backlash.
@@natsohigh5552exactly. People say anything😭 she already was pen to paper for the biopic but that backlash was too much😂
@@natsohigh5552 Benefit of a doubt: I think Zendaya signed on before making contact due to being excited about being chosen to play Aaliyah in a full fledged movie, and knowing that she never auditioned for the role herself and that the film crew chose her, contacting Aaliyah’s family before pre-production wouldn’t make sense. Why would you contact people for blessings about playing a role that you didn’t even know you were going to get before it happened. What would make sense is doing that during pre-production when you have a lot of time to rehearse a character role, in which you can contact and ask about tips for adding essence when you know that you got said role. I assume that she was optimistic that the film was in good hands before she saw what was going on with the production first hand, because I don’t see how she would do that before unless she was given a copy of the screenplay.
@@natsohigh5552so you agree she realized it was wrong to film a movie without her family’s permission?
The BEST black biopics (in my opinion, no order):
1. Malcolm X
2. What's Love Got To Do With It
3. TLC Movie
4. Temptations
5. Jackson 5 American Dream
6. Selma
7. Ali
8. Ray
9. Straight Outta Compton
10. 42
Agreed
And the new edition story
Selena as well
Oh whoops blacks my bad😭
Ray is 2 actually
Aaliyah has to be the most unforgivable biopic ever!
I see what they tried to do but they just could not find the right person to play her. Zendaya wouldn’t have been right either. I think the Selena movie set the bar sky high for biopics.
@@wuraolaalabi2772 Exactly, not to mention the little mixed red head girl that played Aaliyah as a child. Like gtfoh, Aaliyah wasn’t no mixed red head girl 🙄🙄🙄
I ain't seen the Aaliyah biopic but now I'm glad I haven't from how bad people talk about it and just from lookin' at the actor who looks nothin' like her, she deserves better, but it's better to just leave her be, a documentary or remaster of her albums would be good enough
@@musahaque2000 that movie was bad ! The girl who played Aaliyah couldn’t dance on beat for nothing
@@cierramiller4256 I'm takin' precautions now, sounds really shitty.
Zoe and Flex both needed a beatdown for those "movies" 🤣🤣🤣
Yes they do.
That Aaliyah biopic STILL PISSES ME OFF! I was so upset back then. Like in tears upset. And seeing the clips again just now, I cried again. SMH. Aaliyah was someone that I really admired growing up. Her posters were on my wall. That biopic was so incredibly disrespectful to her legacy. And I HATE that actress. She is just a terrible actor.
That was a horrible movie....and horrible is an understatement. 😢
Me and my mom REFUSE to watch it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The Nina Simone biopic still hurts. Ninas dark skin and facial features were a large part of her identity and story too. So to have Zoe Saldana, someone completely opposite to Ninas physical appearance in every way, portray Nina is insulting
India Arie would have been a good choice.
I think Estelle would have been perfect but tbh I think people would still have a problem if Zoe Saldana didn't play Nina Simone that's just how people are and everyone is entitled to their own opinions I believe most people would have just accepted it if the movie was good but it was bad
Nina's daughter said her mom always said she would want Mary j or whoopi to play her in a biopic. That makes sense.
It's terrible! I didn't know much about Nina Simone, but, hearing more about her story and seeing what they did with this film, the end result was a complete assassination of the woman's (legend's) character. I sort question if that was their goal when making the film, as they didn't seem to get the most important character (who is a real person) portrayed correctly.
Zoe's apology rang a bit hollow as well, like someone being sorry for getting caught, rather than being sorry the act in the first place. In a similar line of thinking, I'm still baffled than an executive thought it would be a good idea to get Julia Roberts to portray Harriet Tubman. Like what kind of bullshit is that (even if it was a way to "get people talking")?
And then black face her to make it work. Wow
It feels wrong to even make a film without the family or the person's permission/blessings. I will always value the TLC biopic and the amount of work and dedication they put in the film.
Facts the TLC one was one of the best ive seen so far
I also love the New Edition biopic.
@@WaterfallVee yes! the new edition one was great!
Exactly! And the person can’t defend themselves anymore. It’s a shame.
Tlc was a great movie
the sad part about the Nina biopic...is that when the reporter was asking the other black actresses what they thought about the casting, none of them could answer truthfully...and that's probably b/c "Hollywood" would have blackballed them smh
They were speechless. They wouldn't have been blackballed from blk Hollywood. Be serious.
@@mrsx7944 say that to Monique lol black Hollywood blackballed her
@@GraceArie and?? I said they wouldn't be blkballed for THIS. EVERYONE in blk Hollywood was mad about it.
The DeBarge family suffered terrible abuse at the hands of their father. It's really tragic...
If I was MJ I would've sued that movie for defamation of character. Wrong wrong wrong🤣🤣
😭💯
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Come on kids we are going to neverland
He didn’t care enough to sue he just let it go
@@brotherbearplanet3359 you must be drunk
The fact that the Nina Simone biopic actually seen the light of day is despicable
The woman who played on the walking dead , could have played Nina Simone. Machone.
I had my hand over my mouth for about 5 minutes bc I’m in shock that this was actually put out. I can’t even believe Zoe would play this
The shit is disgusting
The lady from the walking dead is African and Nina Simone is African American. She should not play her, im tired of Africans taking are roles, they express how they don’t want us to take their culture.
Then they get the zazie beetz girl from Atlanta to play stagecoach mary. 😠😡🤬🤦🏾♀️🙄
The Jackson’s, What’s love got to do with it, The temptations, Ray, Get on up, and the New edition story were the best black biopic’s
Yes the new edition story and the Bobby Brown story were the best. But while I understand that only the songs that were very important in their careers were added, I wish they could have also put "Word to the mutha", "On our own", "Stone cold gentleman", "Rub you the right way", "Get away" "humpin around" and some songs from the Heartbreak album in the movie.
The United States Vs. Billie Holiday
Halle Berry in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge was flawless since it was based off the book which her Manager wrote
Zoe just wanted a Check, she didn't care who she offended. She's just another Puppet!
I never really cared for her in general. 😕
I do believe she put that interview together so she could say sorry before folks got to her next doing that time WE was going at ppl & cancelling them.lol
@@courtneypalmer53 Same here, ugh.
@@randomlyUNiiQUE yeah I saw that ! She shouldn’t even had did that especially they wanted her to wear dark makeup and fake nose like hell naw !
@@cierramiller4256 she didn't care!!! She doesn't consider herself black, she's a Latina so its not HER Legend she was playing. If you have fans both yours & Ms.nina saying don't do it she should have gave it a thought but when the child says don't do it that's when she should have said no! She wanted money , did care who she pissed of but she knew better soon as WE started going at ppl , there was no reason for her to do an interview- she had no movie , no song no NOTHING that's why i say SHE PUT THAT INTERVIEW TOGETHER even Gilbert Arenas said sorry at that time for his comments towards dark skin women & Lupita Nyong'o... WE need to be like that ALL THE TIME have folks fear US like they do they gays!!! But then again "they'll" turn it to say black folks are "angry".
India Arie SHOULD have gotten that job🤷🏾 ijs
I think the movie: The Jackson’s An American Dream, is the best biopic! Ray starting Jamie Foxx, The Five Heart beats and Temptations! I love to watch these over and over! Oh and, What’s love got to do with it!! Fishburne and Bassett acted their asses off!
If you gone watch the Jackson story lol make sure u have nothing to do cause that biopic is long
@Hazel E it was a historical fiction, it was loosely based on multiple people, in each member.
@Hazel E yea I heard that but a friend told me it was based off the Dells! I’ll look at the ending credits and find out.
@@material-cheshirekhatter2413 Yeah but it’s still not a biopic, it’s inspired by a few of the male groups of the 60s
Their Good but Malcolm X, Tina Turner, and Selena their in as well
I'm shocked at how those celebs were afraid to speak their true feelings about the Nina Simone Biopic.
The Bobby Debarge biopic was more tragic than the true story.
As a huge Michael Jackson fan that movie was unforgivable. 😩😂😭.
FACTS
Right 😂😂😂😂
@@BigWilt2000 He should have sat that one out period! 😂😩
😂☠i had to factory delete that shit from my mind😂
Lol. Right
Malcolm X is hands down one of the best biopics I ever seen. I was captivated from beginning to end and Denzel did an amazing job.
Baby, Denzel is phenomenal.
Even if it was inaccurate, I love American Gangster too. Once again, Denzel Washington
Shit. Even on American Gangster 🔥🔥🔥
Anyone else got some great (accurate) ones to recommend?

The Tina Turner movie is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time. The beautiful stunning melanated Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne did a freaking amazing job playing Ike and Tina Turner. Tina Turner had a hand in the making of the movie that's why it was so freaking successful and good.
I absolutely LOVE this channel! Perfect for hanging out on the weekends and learning about Black Culture. SO inspiring.
The Aaliyah biopic was such a disrespect to her legacy. And that Nina Simone movie. Chille 🤦🏽♀️
This comment was disrespectful, nobody gives AF about your opinion
I agree. I was really curious about the Aaliyah movie, so I watched it and..I was so uncomfortable by how they romanticized her being groomed by R Kelly..I am in love with Nina Simone’s music but I can’t bring myself to watch that movie after watching the biopic for Aaliyah.
@@tiffanygutierrez4559 right?
Not only did Zendya capture Aaliyah and her swag at 11:17 she's a good singer
Oh and Aaliyah is freaking light skinned has the people criticizing Zendya not see Aaliyah ever?
@@thepubknight6144 Aaliyah is light skinned for sure but to be fair her and Zendaya look nothing alike. The casting was not good at all and I'm glad Zendaya passed on the project because not only does she not look like Aaliyah but the screenplay was horrible. The plots were horrible. Zendaya's career probably wouldn't be where it is had she taken that role. Whew!
I am literally in tears with the MJ and Nina Simone biopic 😭 what a disgrace!
The MJ one was AWFUL!!!!! Of all people, FLEX?!?!?🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I feel that way about The Tupac movie very shameful.They didn't even talk about Pac writing and lyrics.
The guy who played Bobby was annoying AF on Disney. I can't imagine watching him in a serious movie 😂😂😂😂
I remember someone said there was an IPhone in All Eyes On Me lmfaooo but I'm not sure because I could not finish watching it
Damn, couldn’t they have called up Fantasia to play Nina!?? Damn! It’s plenty of beautiful BW with darker complexions! This some crazy shit!
I thought maybe Lauryn Hill or maybe India Arie?
@@NoirAngel510 great choices and they can sing their tails off!!
India Arie would have been the best choice for NinaSimone
It seems expensive and time consuming to make a light skin person do blackface when they could of just hired a women who actually looks like Nina.
Any of the women you guys named would have been much better choices. Leslie Jones is another one who I felt would have been a good choice.
Nothing will ever be as disrespectful as Flex Alexander playing Michael Jackson. They really dusted him with baby powder and said ACTION. his hands were *GREY*
Shit was funny asf
@@karlitosway7474 facts
@@karlitosway7474 the worst kind of funny 😂 dont get me wrong i was laughing but I was like this whole production is disrespectful af 🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Somebody was out to mock and embarass MJ cause aint no way🤣🤣
Timbo went IN on that Aaliyah movie. Put a picture of Dave Chapelle dressed as playing Erikah Badu in her biopic. That had me in tears
I told Felix Alexander that he was wrong for playing that role and that he was ashy and he responded with…”I told them that but I still needed to feed my kids”
He'd be better off going to the Urban Pharmacy trade. There are plenty of people trying to "feed thier kids" there, too! 🤣🤣
Flex’s acting career hasn’t been the same since he did that Michael Jackson movie!
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂😂
It was a mess😂😂😂
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
😂😂😂😂
B.Simone?! As Aaliyah????? "Oh heeeelllll no." *Maya's voice* 😂
Nah the Flex MJ one was just a Violation😂
I remember BET had the nerve to air that back in the day
WHY are suprised?BET shows all the crappy movies all the time.
This channel still has one of my favorite video openings. ❤️
Man In A Mirror isn’t a parody or even a movie. It’s a full blown torture session for not only Michael’s friends and family but Michael himself
I erased that out of my brain years ago. It was a nightmare. I didn't know about it until watching this. Then I remembered why I forgot about it. Horrific.
I totally had forgotten about that film due to its poor quality
It was soooo disrespectful and inaccurate to say the least. From the depiction of his character to the damn hair/makeup to the cheap costumes! Poor Mike. Was always under scrutiny
I actually remember watching it when it first premiered.
I knew then, it was str8 TA RAASSHH!!
Didn't even have NONE of MJs music and just focused on the negative stuff.
I saw it as a teen and couldn’t get pass the first scene 😂
John Singleton said it best, the other directors didn’t see these biopics as cultural milestones
Facts
Yeah I rather rewatch RUclips clips instead
Yeah that pac movie was just trying to ride the wave and honestly sad. It could of been a good movie. And I hated how the put in the old music video clips of song videos instead of actually reenacting it with the movie camera lolol.
The movie wasn’t even that as people make it seem
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That Michael Jackson one is embarrassing 😭
That bsimone insert of her dancing to aaliyah got me in tears 😂😂😂 she was serious af to
Fun fact: The guy who played R. Kelly in the Aaliyah biopic voices the chef from Total Drama Island.
Excuse me-?
Ok
Lol no one looked like the character in the aaliyah biopic. Literally everyone was light skin and the girl who played missy was a size 2.
😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
don’t ruin total drama for me like this💔
Zendaya actually had saved herself from that Aaliyah movie , just imagine if she would’ve had played her. People would’ve had dragged her like what happened to Alex never. Heard from her aging after that role .😂😂
She played young storm in X-men apocalypse after that then disappeared lmao
Zendaya still would've played Aaliyah if she hadn't got so much backlash.
Alex is just not a good actress in general lol sis needs to hang it up and be a model
@@RelleYou that is true I think , that she wanted to play her so bad , due to the whole back flash she was getting it’s stop her .
Honestly, she had a small part in "Straight Outta Compton" as Ice Cube's wife Kim. But in that lil bit of screen time a limited lines her acting was still horrible!
I love your channel, i have been binging it all day.
I can’t describe how I love your intro. I literally Shazamed the song, rewind it a few times before the video starts 😍
India Arie would've made an incredible Nina Simone!💯💯💯
Yessss!
Definitely!!!
True!!! True!!!
I thought so as well.
Always thought that
TLC’s biopic was awesome because everyone was involved. It also was Lil Mama’s redemption after the whole VMAs thing.
The New Edition Story was solid.. from the casting, wardrobe, the fact that they did all the performances.. it was great for a movie that didn’t premiere in theatres
What Grammy Situation?
I think you mean the 2009 VMA's
It was awful and was not accurate.
Those were my movies because it made you feel them as though you were actually watching them on screen. The aaliyah movie, all eyez and Bobby Debarge had me lost like why did you do this?
The new edition biopic is one of the best it was more than just solid
Hey girl love your channel I can’t believe I just found it but I’m definitely subscribing 💜
LMFAOOOOOOO OMG😂😂 I distinctly remember watching the Flex Alexander MJ biopic for the first time at like 7-8 years old with my auntie and grandmother and they were dying laughing whole time. So I truly thought it was like a “dark comedy” type of movie; YEARS LATER, I find out the shit was really a biopic of MJ life 😩😂😂
The Temptations biopic is my absolute favorite. Even being 4 hours long, I watch it EVERY time it comes on TV. Every single actor killed their roles. That line "ain't nobody coming to see you OTIS" kills me every time 😭💀
Same. It’s actually my favorite movie period
I can remember when the movie first came on Tv my family recorded on the VCR...
That might be the best biopic film in my opinion I’ll even put it over Ray and Jamie killed his role
@@dubg06 its definitely running a race with the Jackson movie as the best made for tv biopic
@@carayj that’s another one I forgot about! The actors casted as Michael were all perfect
They should’ve had my girl from Chewing Gum play Nina!! She looks almost like she could be Nina’s family.
Yes!!!!
Her name is Michaela Coel and she would have been much better.
YES!
She does
Yes
I just discovered your channel today. You are literally the best channel on the entire RUclips 2 Thumbs Way up this video was perfect and spot on!!!🎉🎉🎉
I remember the first time I ever seen Flex in white face as Michael Jackson, I thought it was a spoof until I actually seen it on BET 🤦🏽♀️.
Flex should be Deeply Ashamed of ever taking that role!! He must have needed the money 💰
I was especially crushed by Aaliyah's biopic... Horrible, would be an Understatement!😩
I vowed to never watch that I knew they would fuck it up 🙄😓..Glad I didn’t ..Lifetime needs to stay in its lane 😂😂..
Couldn’t stomach it that girl singing sounded and looked like kidz bop .. 🤦🏽♀️😭.. atrocious
@@paymelove9762 for shame 🥵😖..
Horribleeeee indeed the casting was just bleeeh
Oh being the fan I am, I legit vowed to never watch it. I'm still hurt over her loss.
Lauryn Hill should've played Nina Simone. 🤷🏿♀️
Lol nah…no resemblance whatsoever
I agree, someone who can act & sing - Lauryn would've been perfect.
You don't have to resemble someone to nail the character and mannerisms of a person.
No. She’s not reliable. No studio would ever insure her. Too much time and money would be wasted. She has such a bad reputation now
I think India arie
All Eyes On Me wasn't as bad. It's just that there was no surprises being that 2pac's life was so public and scrutinized.
Exactly. It really just needed to go more in-depth
I know I’m late but that Jackie Aina clips you keep playing was sending me 🤣
No one has mentioned Roxanne Roxanne yet and that is one of my favorites! Chante Adams is such an underrated actress.
I love that movie too!
Yes, she did a great job..That was an amazing bio pic..
It was good
That was awesome.
Yess love me some Roxanne Roxanne 😍 and you’re right Chante Adams is an underrated actress and did an amazing job portraying her! ❤️
The Temptations, The Jackson’s American Dream, Selena, TLC, Ray, and New Edition Story are amazing biopics.
Bobby brown too
Yea!! A lot of the comments are forgetting that great New Edition Story!
TLC one was nice!
Yes these are good 😌
James brown too !
Damn they did Aaliyah wrong
I love your channel and content!! Much love❤❤❤
With R. Kelly’s trial and the details that have emerged about his inappropriate ‘relationship’ with Aaliyah (let’s be real, she was groomed & he is a predator), I think it’s important her story was retold accurately. I’ve heard that the Baby Girl: Better Known As Aaliyah book did her some justice especially in accurately describing their inappropriate relationship, and speaking of the fact that it was one rooted in grooming. She spoke about the fact that disregarding R. Kelly’s chapter in her life would be denying Aaliyah another title she so greatly deserved, the title “survivor”.
Well they need to also show how her parents sold her as well and the momma was sleeping with him as well if they going to tell it tell it all
I agree but not with the movie release. It deserved to be out there.
@@1122juicyy they didnt even pronounce her name right💀
emerged.... even back then it was apparent. People chose to ignore it. She was groomed, and those around her allowed it. Very sad and she will never have justice because she died. But things need to change in the future.
@@mzzzzzzday THIS!!
The problem with biopics is they try too hard to go for star power instead of actors who can truly capture that person's character and look. Ray and Selena were the best biopics I've ever seen.
Don't forget Malcolm X
Definitely Ray.
Selena 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Temptations was pretty good too.
Listennn, till this day, you cannot tell me that Jamie Foxx is not actually Ray Charles 😭
I LEGIT THOUGHT THE MICHAEL SCENE WAS A KEY AND PEELE SKETCH FOR A SEC-
Honestly it's because none of these newer actors can play these legendary folks.
*Words can’t describe how much I despise the biopics of 2Pac and Aaliyah. Both movies were such disgraces to their legacies.*
That and the acting, at least for 2pac, was bad and overdramatic. Especially for Tupac who was a really good actor
Grab your refunds when you see Tupac is the best way to describe All Eyez on Me.
Then you know how I feel about Man In The Mirror
I honestly wish I could burn that mess
As a young Aaliyah fan I was so excited to see her movie because I had been waiting on it for years since keshia chante was set to play her. But as I got older I started to see the major issues with the film. As a film major, I want to remake the film one day with her family’s approval and input. As far as Tupac I felt the film was nothing but a dramatized retelling of resurrection. Nothing special or new. I just recently watched the bobby Debarge story and I was disappointed. It was cheaply made. But on the bright side I did get so hear some good oldies.
You're very pretty and would do the Aaliyah movie justice.
You got it girl! Give the princess Aaliyah the justice she deserves I believe in you!!!💕
Good luck sis!! Can’t wait to see your name behind the movie ❤️❤️❤️
Shoot I'll watch it🙂 I would love to know more about them aside from what we heard already
I have a feeling maybe in another 10/15 years time we will see a new Aaliyah biopic. Maybe Rashad will even be an executive producer on it?
ALSO, maybe Keisha Chante will play Aaliyah’s mother in the film? What do you think? Could you see that?
In regard to the biopic on the Debarges, this video forgot to mention that none of the Switch members were contacted for the making of the film, which would have been crucial in telling Bobby’s story. Not long after the movie was released, some of the Switch members also took to Facebook to share their frustration and disapproval of Bobby’s portrayal in the film. They all said that although Bobby was perfect, he was not that crazy or volatile like the film tried to make him. As someone who’s read Bunny Debarges book, Tommy Debarges book, and Greg Williams, founder of switch, book, the only part of the film that I would say was accurate was the abuse that Bobby and his siblings endured from their father. That was real. Other than that, the movie was complete trash.
The 9/11 MJ clip made me laugh as soon as he gasped-
Aww Sheryl Lee Ralph’s face 😭 she knew it was bullshit 💀
Her reply was even better 🤣
For real
She was wft is this! 🤣 cos were all thinking the same
She ain’t even have nothing to say
She said nothing but her face said everything
That Man in the Mirror was definitely the worse everrrrrr Flex knew better 🤣🤣🤣 the makeup, the dancing, the acting just wasn't it
The Aaliyah, Tupac and Nina and Michael movies should’ve never come out! B Simone as Aaliyah would’ve been another tragedy. That Nina movie was completely insulting and disrespectful
The Tupac was the best that man looks just like him
I'm just now realizing the actor and actress who played Tupac and Aaliyah, they're last names are both "Shipp" 😲
Everyone in that Aaliyah film looked like Drake
I’m done. 😂😂😂
Lol they truly did! The different stages of drake
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m screaming
I’m on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a lot of dark skinned people in Canada probably.
Why couldn’t Viola Davis play Nina Simone?
She’s too black according to hollyweird standards
Omg she would’ve done some Justice bruh
Exactly she did Ma Rainey wonderfully.Or India Arie WHY hasn't she been in a movie that was feels totally wasted.
I love Viola, but she probably too old
I think Adepero Oduye could have done Nina justice. Love Viola, but I agree that she might be too old to play a younger Nina.
That MJ biopic should’ve never seen the light of day.
All Eyez On Me is a dope azz movie. Pay attention and learn lessons that may save your life one day. Shipp Jr. Is on point with his acting. Can't wait to see him again in something else.
That Aaliyah biopic movie was complete and utter TRASH 😂😂😂😂😂😂
AGREED 👍
“What’s Love Got To Do With It” Is the best biography of all time. They robbed Angela!
Been looking for this comment‼️🖤
I agree!
She was phenomenal in it
I agree
Ray By Jamie should be up there he play the hell out of ray Charles and Malcolm X? Cause Denzel Washington played that to the T too those 3 will not be touched
This whole video got me cryin😭
Cynthia Eryvo playing Aertha when Aretha specifically said Jennifer Hudson!
Zoey Saldana apologizing after years of back lash, not only from the public but from Nina Simone’s family, only to apologize after the racial reckoning of 2020 is clown behavior 🤡 She knew what she was doing and knew it wouldn’t affect her bag in the long run, unfortunately she was right 😒
If she was really sorry for her role in the movie she should have just said no and demanded that the movie find a dark skin actress instead
@@karenjeancyarskarencyars7518 Period! It just seems so fake. Imo she only said sorry because the movie flopped cuz if that was nominated for an Oscar then we wouldn't have heard anything! 😒🖐🏾
Some Actors/Actresses seem to think backlash are people stifling their creativity, bullying them for their looks-until they see how it didn’t matter how well they acted that they looked horrible. One could take the best acting performance ever and put a clown nose on the performer and suddenly the whole thing looks like a joke. That’s what happened except even the acting was weird.
@@mayaalidou2062 she's Dominican what you expect.
True her behavior was not right and unforgivable.
The Aaliyah biography was just a disgrace 😆 🤣
I agreed can’t believe waisted ma time watchin the bio pic movie
Yo why she reading her script like someone is holding a knife to her neck 😆
Lmaaaooo Flex being MJ was hilarious
Ik we clown Flex for that MJ movie, but can’t blame the man for getting that check after they wrote him off the last season of One On One 😂
Did they ever say why they did it?
Wait...How did he get written off his own show ?
@@hailiesbong2734 I wanna know too
@@hailiesbong2734 The writers said they wanted to focus more on Breanna and Arnaz’s relationship instead of her and her father’s relationship.🤦🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
@@hailiesbong2734 yeah, UPN shifted the show to be more teen oriented like how the WB was, so it move the plot over to Breanna and Arnaz’s relationship, he appeared in the early S5 episodes but was written off after that few handful
That Aaliyah and Michael Jackson movie were wrong on sooo many levels. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I think the most worst bio pic would have to be in a couple years ago the Wendy Williams bio pic literately ! I think everybody can actually say that was the worst biopic
The Five Heartbeats and Temptations,,,those were the best /longest lasting !!!!!!!!
When Crystal showed them clips of Alexandra singing and dancing 😐😂
Not you putting my name out there 😭😭😭😭😭
@@BLACKFEMININITYTV lmao 🤣
😂😂😂
The autotune seriously hurt my ears
The girl who played Aaliyah sounds like the kids bop version.
I had no idea there was an Aaliyah biopic.
Some may disagree but since being a huge fan of both, The James Brown and and Aretha Franklin stories weren't that good as well! They were not as bad as the 5 mentioned but again, as a huge fan of both Mr. Brown and Ms. Fraklin, I know that so much was either left out or not expanded on enough to where they both sucked and did not do either any justice IMHO!
Aaliyah’s biopic failed mostly because of Wendy’s greed to just talk about Aaliyah and R. Kelly’s drama. Most of her life skipped around until she met Robert and after he finally left her alone. U could tell they had no real interest in telling her story, only the gossip
Everytime I see Flex in that man in the mirror movie it reminds me of a Scream spoof. He looks like Ghostface 👻
That movie scared the hell of my little brother when it came out
😂😂😂
Lmao thought I was the only one 😭😭😭
@@nehsangbong7259 dummy
😖
Hilarious stuff 🤣 on a more positive note you should do one about the best black biopics! Straight Out Of Compton, TLC, New Edition, Ray, Ali etc in the running for sure
Lifetime has never been concerned with getting it right. They know ppl are gonna watch regardless. We need control over our own stories!
