It’s amazing to see her sing this song on the Grammys knowing how hard Billie fought to sing this song.
I couldn't believe she wasn't even an experienced actor before the movie. Her performance was fuckin incredible, I didnt even see an actor, I saw Billie Holiday
I love that she sung this as Andra . I’m sure Billie is proud she has someone of her artistic caliber to unearth and bring forth not only her songs but TRUTH to her story at this time to the world.. a NECESSITY ..AMAZING each time
Ever seeing Andra's performance as Billie Holiday I've become obsessed with with both Ms. Days. I have been a fan of Andra's so I am hoping that she will pursue other acting opportunities. I hope Oscar is in arm's reach for her.
Most people wouldn’t catch that. I agree that made this even more powerful.
yes!!
🙌🏽✨🙌🏽
I loved how Andra Day Jazzed up this song! It’s a modern twist to the way Billie sang it! I think Ms Holiday would be proud! It gets the same reaction it did over 80 years ago.
Billie sang this song a thousand different ways. Depending on her mood. Jazz was her style of choice.
I still think that Beth Hart has the best modern version of this song with the seething anger in her voice. This version is too jazzy as if she went for technical ability rather than the message.
I like how she's using her voice this time, instead of imitating Billie.
Exactly what I thought that's her own voice styling not an imitation, Even though her doing Billie's voice is extraordinarily on point😍😍. Andra's voice is similar to Amy Winehouses styling and they are both exquisite❤❤.
@@LionessCurves Amy Winehouse was strongly influenced by Billie Holiday too, and Andra seems to be influenced by both ❤️
I think her and Queen Billie sounds alike she has that jazzy velvet voice .. she did the darn thing in USA VS BILLIE HOLIDAY.. man what a great movie
She was never imitating Billie, plus she was making music before Billie.
U shud listn hr old songs.. She aint imitatin..
People are sleeeeeeping on Andra Day. This was perfect.
Well I think more be people are become more of aware of her especially her singing voice.
It is a shame female singers like her and Lesidi don't get the recognition they truly deserve.
Facts
AND I MEAN SLEEPING, LIKE IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!
If Andra was wearing provocative clothes singing explicit songs like wap they listen smh thank you ms Andra for bringing bck elegance grace respecting your self with your head held high and soulful music 🎵 for us to enjoy
@@shondadalton1847 OMG!! Facts! Honestly I'm sick of listening to those songs, this is the music that needs to be on the radio, winning awards, performing, etc. it makes zero sense... At 19 soon to be 20 she will forever be in my young with an old soul heart 💚 Mama Day always!!
The metaphor behind this is seriously deep.. frightening imagery of what took place back in those days. the song is calming but when u think of the level of violence the writer is referencing that's a paradox within it self... music is powerful it proves that word is not just wind.. words can change the world.. words are information and the information that we receive can make or break us! Andra day stellar performance she had everything down.
Absolutely
What is there not to like about Andra Day, this performance deserves an award!
I agree she is truly amazing.
Yes, exactly!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I just wish people heard about her before the Billie Holiday, even then she was and still is phenomenal!!
WOW. Wow,! Wow

Ms. Andra! I love the fact that she has been singing this song for years and ended up portraying Lady Day on film and being nominated for an Oscar to boot 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Her voice is enchanting. It's like that song was written for her voice
Even though what she is singing about is horrible
I have been in love with Ms Day’s voice since the moment I heard it. I was feeling sorry for myself that she hadn’t produced more music for me to purchase and then BAM!!! She makes a movie and a sound track. What a performance in the movie. She channeled Billi more than Ms Ross and I didn’t think that was possible. I stand in awe of Ms day and hope to see her on the big screen again. Thank you for bringing the issue of the Lynching law still being active!! Let us move to get rid of this Law of brutality forever and NOW
New album out June 4th! A lot of really amazing songs! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥
❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Don’t know if you’ve heard or read yet.. but, they’ve FINALLY pass the Emmett Till anti-lynching bill on March 7, 2022.
This by the 117th Congress (2021 - 2022) it only took the US 120 years to make it a federal crime😔😔😔
Andra , you sang that song with passion, truth and love. Billie is so proud of the beautiful tribute and respect you gave her in your performance of her. Despite not walking away with the Oscar, you truly are blessed and you gave Billie the respect she deserved. We ❤ you for that.
The emotion is just pouring out of her. Billie would be proud.
Dear Andra Day, I adore your angelic voice, with this vibration of melancholy that no one else could have these days. You are the high light in this fucking darkness of the world. Billie Holiday sure is super proud of your performance of this song, so touching and so important, even in modernity... Unfortunately sometimes seems that nothing has changed. Anyway, you deserve the better spotlight! Congrats! You are the goldness!
Her voice is heavenly!! 😍😍
Dearest Andra Day, no one but you deserve an Oscar this year. You have the highest potential to be EGOT.
Love this woman!! I will never forget hearing this song for assignment in first college history course at 47 years old. We had 6 songs to choose from and write on 3 of them. I'd never heard this song and cried like a baby listening to it several times. It moved my soul when realized what the strange fruit was. Still breaks my heart. Andra Day is awesome & definitely think Billie Holiday would be proud!!!!
You’ve just inspired my next lesson for my students!!!!! Bless you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@cestmoi5702 Awesome!!!! It really changed me!! Another thing I never knew, and born and raised in Oklahoma, was the Tulsa Race Riots of 1921. I also did not know there were postcards made of lynchings - with people and family/ kids smiling - and mailed out!!!! Everyone should have to learn more history!!! 😜😁
@@cestmoi5702 💗💗💗💗💗
Congrats on your educational pursuits!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@iago07 Thank you much!! 💜
Stunning. Haunting . . . and something for which there are no words.
Music producers, where are you? Her talents deserve spotlight!
She exec produced her own music w her band. New album out June 4th 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 it’s got some AMAZING production!
@@jesusdelgadillo8428 yay
Crazy in 2021 this song is still relevant. Police brutality is the modern day lynching.
Not to mention people are actually getting lynch. It's not as prominent but it does happen 💔
It is unreal how relevant it is and people still fighting against racism, white supremacy and hate!!!!
Yes indeed in another form
Sadly this is true
Voter suppression should be included in there too. Smh.
This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.😓😭
Love love love when she changes the arrangements on songs she covers and puts her own flavor on them
Perfection .🌻
Imagine being prohibited to sing it in 2021...i get chills every time she sings it..if lady day hears her..i know shes proud🌹
Andra is beyond amazing. She should be headlining. If not why 💙🙏
Chills and goose bumps I began to feel! Strange fruit hanging, just knowing that our brother's and sister's Black bodies hang lifeless from a Tree... I Weep and is Sadden of the Hate of America... God will Never bless America for killing his Precious Jewels, His Melanated people....!
The chosen people. The true Hebrews that have been scattered to the 4 corners of the earth
Forever my Favourite Andra Day❤️....😇
This version drives home the sadness of the events of lynching and the horror and terror the black people and others who were lynched. Andrea brings all that emotion to the table the way she uses all the extra notes to stretch the words in the sentences. Got the message of this horrific act across with her talented voice. How sad.....
Yes!!!! 🙌🏽
I fell in love with her voice several years ago. Now I have fallen in love with a true artist. I am wishing her more success with a career and her life. I hope she wins the Oscar.
Damn…..damn……damn! I have had this version on loop all morning
Love this beautiful woman.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷. Thank you ma'am for sharing your awesome talent.😁🙏
She should have won every Grammy that night!!!!
My most fav artist....fell in love with her after ben hur
Chills and goosebumps and tears.
CHILLS AND GOOSEBUMPS AND TEARS!

She sang this song beautifully, adding a twist to it with the jazz. May I also say that she's looks lovely aswell.

I loved the way she sung this song! Beautifully done!
I will never understand how people can sing this song. I burst into tears every time I hear it. I'd be a puddle if I attempted to sing it. I'm so glad someone can, but it's beyond me.

How is this not as powerful and impactful as Mountains? And the difference in the numbers is daunting! I realize this is a dark song but can our history at least pull 5 or 10m views yall? Support Aundra’s energy regardless!❤
Perfection. Billie would be proud
To be young gifted and black! Just an amazing command of the art of the voice. The subject matter brings tears to my eyes, but the artistic rendering touches my soul. I feel you Ms. Day. 🙏🏾
WOW!

Andra Day is hands down the most underrated artist of our time! Perfection!
I like that she’s singing this as her and not Billie ♥️♥️

We will never be matched.
One word for both her acting and singing...BRILLIANT!
Goosebumps from the voice, a very strong voice! Moscow is with you, my dear!!!!
