so annoying every time i cant remember what her name I try looking up the person they ripped off betty boop from and that baby esther bs comes up. i hate the internet. Literally the only reason she was brought up was to discredit helen kanes lawsuit against the creators of the character so they didnt have to pay her for stealing her likeness which everyone knew they did. They found several obscure artists to show that the characteristics of betty boop were common and were not invented by helen kane. no part of Baby Esther is present in betty boop or helen kanes work. The internet then shares photos of black women cosplaying as Helen Kane along with captions claiming that Helen Kane ripped off Baby Esther. Meanwhile theres not any recording of Baby Esther as a child performer or any real photos of her. Not even the one photo that isnt a betty boop cosplayet is baby esther its a different adult singer of the same name that had nothing to do with the manufactured controversy.
@Thewatcher10000 I’m not sure if this is for real, but I think that it’s because in todays society we recognize black people as more impoimportant figures than we did back then, and I also contributed to the fact that nobody even knows who Helen Kane is nowadays sadly. But I don’t know WHY THAT is. Honestly…🙄 But you are right it does not make any sense as to why this even began in the first place, but that’s just my take on it.
anyone saying baby ester is the basis of betty boop needs to just read the wikipedia arcticle for betty boop. the creators of betty claimed it was based on baby esther but later said it was helen they modeled betty after. they wanted to discredit helen so she would not win the case. she __is__ the original betty boop
thats not dramatic enough. the way people try to spin it is as if it was baby esther that sued helen for copying her. and now the top result for who betty boop was based on shows baby esther with a photo of a woman who wasnt even baby esther. in the end the lawyers won and Helen Kane recieves no credit.
@@TheKimQuan Utter nonsense. Helen Kane was the direct inspiration for Betty Boop. After Helen Kane sued Fleischer for using a cartoon version of her, Fleischer showed that numerous other people were also imitating Helen Kane, and Kane made no effort to sue any of them. One of the various HELEN KANE IMPERSONATORS was a performer called Esther Jones. It is surreal how this has been twisted and distorted in the 21st century...
@@bellakamiya1761 How would that have worked? Helen Kane was singing in that style since 1923. Esther only started doing that style in 1928, as a direct impersonation of Kane.
@@danielburger1775 actually Helen Kane started singing that style in 1928 after she saw Esther Jones perform. She copied her style in “ I wanna be loved by you” which is the song that made her famous. I don’t know where you’re getting your dates from but there’s proof that Kane took this style from Baby Esther which is why she lost her lawsuit.
The Betty Boop cartoons were done by an actress named make Westell she did most of the Betty Boop movies not Helen Kane I do not know the black lady you mentioned I never heard of her but I will look her up
He said “I always wanted to be the bouncing father of a proud baby” which should have been, “I always wanted to be the proud father of a bouncing baby”. That’s the joke, he got it mixed up.
All those people laughing at her, omg, today she'd be taken to a special room, given a safety pin and told that she should have her parents contact a lawyer to sue the bullies.
The woman STOLE from Esther Jones and she had the audacity to sue the creators of Betty Boop, saying that they stole her style, when SHE was the one who stole from a black woman in the 1900’s! The creators even said she Betty Boop was going to be black since Esther Jones was the TRUE inspiration for her, but due to racism, that wasn’t the case!
Actually look into the case. And do research. It's not so cur and paste. The man who created Berty Boop brought in Esters manager to sway the case so he didn't have to pay out.
She sued the people who created Betty Boop for copying her, not Easter Jones. They pulled up Easter's performance to prove that Helen wasn't completely original herself, which are one of the things that caused Helen to lose the case.
Fhe sad fact is betty boop was based on a black girl named ester jones and helen stole this character from her and when they made the cartoon betty boop helen tried to sew them and say they stole the character from her and when the court found out about ester jones she lost the case😭
@@danielburger1775 it’s true Esther jones is the REAL Betty boop and Helen Kane stole her act. She also stole her style from this other person but I forgot their name.
@@bunnipawzzz4059 Esther Jones has nothing to do with Betty Boop. You need to do your research. Helen Kane was performing in her "Betty Boop" style as early as 1923. But a singer called Irene Franklin had been doing the "Betty Boop voice" since about 1908. In addition, vaudeville singers had been doing what is today called "scatting" since the 19th century. The film of Esther Jones was recorded significantly AFTER Kane was famous. In it, Esther sings three songs that had all earlier been popularized by Kane. Kane's lawyers said the film should be recognized as "a Helen Kane impersonator", and the Judge agreed. The Judge ruled that Esther was "irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial" in the Kane v Fleischer case. It is only far more recently that some people have completely misunderstood what actually happened, and this "Baby Esther" stuff has gone viral. Edit... Here's a 1911 recording from Irene Franklin.

@@kybaby28 No, she really wasn't. Esther looked nothing like Betty, sounded nothing like Betty, didn't have Betty's sexuality/sex appeal, didn't use "boop oop a doop", and was a small "cute" kid dancer/acrobat when Betty debuted. How exactly does that make her "the Original Betty Boop" or "the inspiration of Betty Boop"?
It would have been Helen Kane's 120th birthday today!
We all think of a better comeback once we walk away. Respect to Helen for marching back to fire it off

The most kissable face ever on celluloid.
this is so cute I love it
I’ve seen cyndy Lauper how she singing in the 1980s like Helen Kean
Watch her on a Johnny Carson appearance...her mannerisms are similar too.
Do you believe in reincarnation, maybe Cyndy Lauper is the reincarnation of Helen kean
