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 😂😂😂
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💔 .
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
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
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")?
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.
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.
@@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.
@@alanabrunookay and yall try to deny everything. She was probably excited about being chosen to play Aaliyah. Yall look for any reason to hate on that girl. 🙄
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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 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
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
@@Randomly_Black_Christian88 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 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.
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?
@@Chuck_EL 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!
Not Jada being mad at the Tupac movie saying they was just casual friends when she is now in the year 2023 saying he proposed to her and that was her one true love
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*
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.
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.
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 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 😭💀
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.
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 .😂😂
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!
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
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?
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”.
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.
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 😒
@@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.
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.
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
0:41 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 should have let a black woman play a perfect black woman" The condescending message behind those words. Lets me know she still sees Nina Simone as just a character/label. Hollywood is wickedly destructive.
It's not even that she's not black. She's light skinned with different features and she looked repulsive because it wasn't authentic. Everyone in hollow weird has sold out. They have to do rituals and humiliate themselves. Hollow weird knew what they were doing. Zoe wanted cash and sold her 👞. The other actresses didn't want to be blackballed. Good it flopped. The aaliyah biopic was a disgrace, with no authenticity. Couldn't play the songs legally. Usee biracial actors when the real people are not
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
How Zoe felt comfortable wearing blackface and playing Nina has always made me question her. She could have said no, but I guess the money was worth it.
@@misanthropexoxo9618 first of all it is blackface and just because you live under a rock doesn’t mean people didn’t come for Robert and they still do.
John Singleton is so right. It was disingenuous for them to pretend not to know how influential Tupac was and the impact of his death. His lyrics are studied in universities for goodness sake.
True but John wasnt gonna make it better. He had in his script Pac getting raped in prison and Afeni Shakur in a threesome or something. Pac stopped dealing with Singleton before he died anyway after he got fired from Higher Learning.
@@GOODMuzikBoi How do you know he might had written it but scrapped it when rumours started to surface about it.Sometimes NOT all things on paper show up on screen.
@@Thespeedrap why would he have that written in the first place? He has no proof it ever happened, and he didn’t have no communication with Pac after he released from prison to know if its true or not. Its irresponsible
@@GOODMuzikBoi I don't Know I guess he must have heard stories from people about life in prison and assumed that must had been happened with Tupac.Was he really going to put it in the film I hope NOT.
The Tupac movie wasn't great but I wouldn't put it in same class as the Aaliyah pic. That and Man In The Mirror deserve special places in hell they were so awful. The guy playing R. Kelly couldn't even be bothered to shave his head and wore an obvious bald cap. In the MJ pic, you had a movie about Michael without a single note of his music because no way were they gonna get the rights. Concert scenes used generic beats and were filmed on the same set no matter what time or place it was supposed to be with just a few dozen people in front to play a crowd. Flex's career never recovered. Btw you forgot the Lifetime movie they did on Michael in 2017. It definitely deserves a spot on this list
I don't even understand who in their right mind would do a biopic about a singer knowing they CAN'T put the music in like come on! this is ridiculous !!
I agree with everything you said it's just at the end my opinion.is that 2017 biopic something Neverland with navi was definitely better than the aaliyah and Britney and Brittany Murphy biopics from lifetime. Imo the 2017 film they did on Michael was one of their better biopic films. Also I believe it was based off his bodyguards books and from what I found they weren't liars but correct me if I'm wrong like their book was truthful from what I read. And apperently randy did drive into Michaels gate 🥴 I just didn't get why tf they chose navi outta all the Michael impersonators like so what navi knew Michael or whatever like he looked nothing like Michael and sounded nothing like him/didn't really dance/sing like him and he kinda sounded British 😭.
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 Jacki Aina insert is how we all was looking at alllll the movies mentioned 😂🤣😂 I think all the producers and actors was high, desperate for $$ or both 🥴
That was a very strange coincidence indeed.But I doubt DMX will get a biopic and I hope he don't get one.Unless it's done right out of respect from the family and fans.
If John Singleton ended up directing and producing the Pac biopic it would've been on the same level as Malcolm X. John would've touched on Pac's love for Black people, his leadership amongst those associated with him, the ladies, and things we still don't about when it pertains to Pac. It would've been one of the best biopics ever but they brought in Benny Boom.
I agree Singleton would had did the Tupac movie some respect and justice who cares if haters say he would had shown him getting raped in prison it was a rumour.If possibly as time goes on I would like to do a Tupac movie if people are still interested in making it.
@@Thespeedrap There's still time brotha and as complex as Pac was, there's plenty of things you can bring to the screen about that man. You can make a movie about the relationship with his mother and the song Dear Mama. That alone would be interesting to see. But go for it bro. Ain't nothing to it but to do it.
I can’t look at clips of the Michael Jackson biopic without laughing. Omg… On another note, the casting for the Nina Simone biopic was so terrible and disheartening. I watched the first 5-10 minutes of the movie & couldn’t watch anymore. The worst part about it was that Zoe Saldana continued to defend her awful portrayal. I’ve been side eyeing her ever since.
im a huge aaliyah fan not only was she a bad choice she cant even hit the rips or high notes aaliyah could "at your best" is a classic song by aaliyah and that girl fucked it up...if youre gonna cast anyone as aaliyah make sure they can at least sing
'Lady Sings the Blues' about Billie Holiday starring Diana Ross is one of my all time favorite biopic! Ms. Ross slayed the role and she should have won the Oscar for her amazing performance!
@@lolabitch99 I agree Andra Day did a much better job than Diana Ross I always thought she was weird like a alien and yeah she can sing but her acting was terrible in that movie.
That year, Cicely Tyson was also nominated for "Sounder." Ross and Tyson sort of cancelled each other out and Liza Minelli walked away with the Oscar for "Caberet."
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
@@yvonnedavis9650 the bobby debarge movie.... the acting was horrible.... hell they could've padded my face with baby power and a wig. I would've gave it justice lmao
That embarrassing and disrespectful Aaliyah biopic should never see the light of day again 🤢 same with the Nina Simone biopic 😤 Flex said “I’m just here for the check” 😭😭 I’m done 😂
I believe her real boo than was static! Dame be doing way too much. like stfu! I don't even know how she dealt with him. .. than again she grew to like a Rob. ..
Right! People kept saying they were meant to be. Like if she was still here she’d be with someone else. This isn’t to say she didn’t have love for him, but they were just vibing. Doesn’t mean they were soulmates. Also Dame was in that R. Kelly video so I never trusted him.
Now I can understand why Prince just decided to play himself in his biopic. 😂 I don't blame him one bit 😂

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.

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...

The DeBarge family suffered terrible abuse at the hands of their father. It's really tragic...
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?
@@Chuck_EL 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!
Not Jada being mad at the Tupac movie saying they was just casual friends when she is now in the year 2023 saying he proposed to her and that was her one true love

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 😂
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
Flex’s acting career hasn’t been the same since he did that Michael Jackson movie!

It was a mess😂😂😂
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

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💔
The good ol days when Jada was still saying she was just friends with Pac 😂
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
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 😭
Halle Berry in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge was flawless since it was based off the book which her Manager wrote
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

*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
I'm shocked at how those celebs were afraid to speak their true feelings about the Nina Simone Biopic.
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
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.

TLC one was nice!
Yes these are good 😌

The Bobby Debarge biopic was more tragic than the true story.
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.

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

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
That Michael Jackson one is embarrassing 😭
That Man in the Mirror was definitely the worse everrrrrr Flex knew better 🤣🤣🤣 the makeup, the dancing, the acting just wasn't it
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.

The Tina Turner movie is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time.

It's weird because she is black. It's just so much self hate installed in her to dissociate from black woman and what is the right thing to do
I have never liked Zoe and after that I knew I never would
.....but she cashed the check!😡
It's not even that she's not black. She's light skinned with different features and she looked repulsive because it wasn't authentic. Everyone in hollow weird has sold out. They have to do rituals and humiliate themselves. Hollow weird knew what they were doing. Zoe wanted cash and sold her 👞. The other actresses didn't want to be blackballed. Good it flopped. The aaliyah biopic was a disgrace, with no authenticity. Couldn't play the songs legally. Usee biracial actors when the real people are not

The girl who played Aaliyah sounds like the kids bop version.
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
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
How Zoe felt comfortable wearing blackface and playing Nina has always made me question her. She could have said no, but I guess the money was worth it.

John Singleton is so right. It was disingenuous for them to pretend not to know how influential Tupac was and the impact of his death. His lyrics are studied in universities for goodness sake.
Facts
True but John wasnt gonna make it better. He had in his script Pac getting raped in prison and Afeni Shakur in a threesome or something. Pac stopped dealing with Singleton before he died anyway after he got fired from Higher Learning.
@@GOODMuzikBoi How do you know he might had written it but scrapped it when rumours started to surface about it.Sometimes NOT all things on paper show up on screen.
@@Thespeedrap why would he have that written in the first place? He has no proof it ever happened, and he didn’t have no communication with Pac after he released from prison to know if its true or not. Its irresponsible
@@GOODMuzikBoi I don't Know I guess he must have heard stories from people about life in prison and assumed that must had been happened with Tupac.Was he really going to put it in the film I hope NOT.
The Tupac movie wasn't great but I wouldn't put it in same class as the Aaliyah pic. That and Man In The Mirror deserve special places in hell they were so awful. The guy playing R. Kelly couldn't even be bothered to shave his head and wore an obvious bald cap. In the MJ pic, you had a movie about Michael without a single note of his music because no way were they gonna get the rights. Concert scenes used generic beats and were filmed on the same set no matter what time or place it was supposed to be with just a few dozen people in front to play a crowd. Flex's career never recovered. Btw you forgot the Lifetime movie they did on Michael in 2017. It definitely deserves a spot on this list
I don't even understand who in their right mind would do a biopic about a singer knowing they CAN'T put the music in like come on! this is ridiculous !!
😂😂thanks for mentioning the bald cap - that was the icing on the cake for that biopic
I agree with everything you said it's just at the end my opinion.is that 2017 biopic something Neverland with navi was definitely better than the aaliyah and Britney and Brittany Murphy biopics from lifetime. Imo the 2017 film they did on Michael was one of their better biopic films. Also I believe it was based off his bodyguards books and from what I found they weren't liars but correct me if I'm wrong like their book was truthful from what I read. And apperently randy did drive into Michaels gate 🥴
I just didn't get why tf they chose navi outta all the Michael impersonators like so what navi knew Michael or whatever like he looked nothing like Michael and sounded nothing like him/didn't really dance/sing like him and he kinda sounded British 😭.
Here, here!
Wait that was a prop? I wouldn’t have even been able to tell the difference but how could u know?😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
I could’ve went my ENTIRE LIFE without seeing the man in the mirror clips
Same 😮
Same. Lol
I haven’t even gotten to that part yet and I’m terrified.
The Aaliyah biography was just a disgrace 😆 🤣

Having Wendy Williams as an executive producer, is enough to know it was going to be trash.

That was a very strange coincidence indeed.But I doubt DMX will get a biopic and I hope he don't get one.Unless it's done right out of respect from the family and fans.
If John Singleton ended up directing and producing the Pac biopic it would've been on the same level as Malcolm X. John would've touched on Pac's love for Black people, his leadership amongst those associated with him, the ladies, and things we still don't about when it pertains to Pac. It would've been one of the best biopics ever but they brought in Benny Boom.
Benny Boom should have not been directing p a c movie
I agree Singleton would had did the Tupac movie some respect and justice who cares if haters say he would had shown him getting raped in prison it was a rumour.If possibly as time goes on I would like to do a Tupac movie if people are still interested in making it.
@@Thespeedrap There's still time brotha and as complex as Pac was, there's plenty of things you can bring to the screen about that man.

I believe her real boo than was static! Dame be doing way too much. like stfu! I don't even know how she dealt with him. .. than again she grew to like a Rob. ..
Right! People kept saying they were meant to be. Like if she was still here she’d be with someone else. This isn’t to say she didn’t have love for him, but they were just vibing. Doesn’t mean they were soulmates. Also Dame was in that R. Kelly video so I never trusted him.
Dame is such a lame.
