    I am a huge Nina Simone Fan! I discovered her music a year ago and I have been addicted ever since. Her music is still timeless. Here is the trailer to her new biopic ... and the trailer for my favorite documentary What Happened Miss Simone? which was nominated for an Oscar. What do you guys Think about the movie and Zoe Salanda's portrayal?

    Netflix ended the need for this biopic. I feel the casting of Zoe as Nine Simone was terrible from the beginning and now this trailer sealed the deal. I mean look at Denzel in Malcolm X. He channeled the spirit of Malcolm very well but Zoe.....ughhh no

    I forgot that they they have that chick portraying Nina. Yes, I felt and feel that way too. I do want to see the documentary.

    I like Zoe, I do. But this is just another way of snatching roles from women of DARK color. SMH.

    As a musician, my first thought is, really? Of all the musicians/singers that are actresses, they couldn't have gotten one of them? I mean, "Crazy Eyes" from Orange is the New BLack is at least an opera singer and woulda been perfect for this role. At least then, they wouldn't have had to put her in black face, which brings up my other thought. What were these folks thinking? They shoulda known that casting Zoe would reignite the whole skin tone debate.

    The family isn't very happy.

    I'm so mad at this. The blackface on her looks awful.

    I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hate to laugh at this but....JAJAJAJAJAJAAJA!!!!

    What the F@#K were they thinking??!! Did no one in makeup just stop and say..."you know what....this just isn't going to work"? She looks f#$kin RIDICULOUS. SMH. All of this just to avoid placing a darkskin woman in a lead role?? You not gonna tell me they gonna use the excuse that Zoe was the best qualified (I don't remember WHAT their excuse was at the time that this was a thing). Hell, Lauren Hill coulda played the F#$K outta Nina if they didn;'t wanna give the role to a "nobody". smh

    I think it's interesting that no one cares that Marvel cast Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Will Smith as Dr. BennetIfeakanduOmalu and no said a word but everyone loses their mind over Zoe Saldana being cast as Nina Simone. Is it a race thing, a skin tone thing, or a culture thing?
