      That is not race-baiting at all. If someone else's empowerment makes you feel awkward then you obviously have some issues.

      ZigZig Zputnik, how many videos are you going to comment on? You're clearly uncomfortable with black women, and can't stand that people want to elevate and compliment an artist they respect. I'm sure you dont do this on white women's videos. Have a little self-respect, leave people alone, and rethink your opinions on race

    • @beboppalooka9897
      @beboppalooka9897 7 років тому +25

      ZigZig Zputnik Stop being so sensitive. It's not "race baiting" to say that black is beautiful. Go to any comment thread on a political video and you'll see countless people putting black people down. Maybe it's just a bit of self affirmation; to contradict all the voices telling black people that they are less than everyone else. You hear "black people have worth" as "white people are worthless". In fact why are you even watching this? How can anyone so confrontational actually have decent taste in music? Did you actually just come here to argue with someone who suggested that black people are attractive?

    I will never be what you want and that’s alright
    Cause my skin ain’t light
    And my body ain’t tight
    And that’s alright
    But If I might, I’ma stand and fight
    I will never be what you want and that’s alright
    I’ll play my own damn tune
    Shine like the moon
    And very soon, I’ll soon fly over you
    And whatcha gonna do, when I fly over you?
    Tell me who made you the centre of the universe?
    Who made you the centre of the universe?
    And every morning when I wake up
    I pray for you
    Then I pray for me
    That soon you’ll see how love can be
    Our love will set you free
    What’s it gonna be?
    I see the beauty in your eyes
    Tell me who made you the centre of the universe?
    (Who made you judge and jury over me?)
    Who made you the centre of the universe?
    (Now leave me be)
    Who made you the centre of the universe?
    (Don’t need no rules in my world)
    Who made you the centre of the universe?
    I will never be what you want and that’s alright
    Cause my skin ain’t light
    And my body ain’t tight
    I will never be what you want and that’s alright

    Bro Bear Prince, I see/hear/feel you! Laura Mvula has a message that is empowering and enlightening. She is a woman of intelligence, grace and beauty and challenges others to find those same qualities inside themselves; to embrace them, respect them and insist that others do the same. It is always the habit of the ignorant to attempt to destroy that which they fear or do not understand. But you know what my mother taught me? "Ignore ignorance!"

  • @SarahBerry199

    ok, no need to say what so many have already written here about **Her** ... BUT: I've seen the choreographer/dancer Aakomon Jones (astonishingly a Miles Davis' sosia) between 1'56'' and 1'58'' at least 20 times in loop and I just can't stop... this man is another wonder... Well, after all maybe I could add one thing about Her: Britten and Stravinsky would be proud of having such a Daughter. As far as I know, She is the first Artist in "pop music" to have poured in it their legacy to such an extent. Respect, Laura.

    This may sound weird or whatever, but is so refreshing to see a make up artist who actually knows how to apply black make up.

    • @GreenEcheveria
      @GreenEcheveria 6 років тому +9

      That’s not weird at all, European beauty standards and the culture of poverty mean that make-up artists largely don’t know how to do black skin. I’m not black and I know that.

    • @trevorheartnina
