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

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.

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")?

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.

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.

As a young Aaliyah fan I was so excited to see her movie because I had been waiting on it for years since keshia chante was set to play her. But as I got older I started to see the major issues with the film. As a film major, I want to remake the film one day with her family’s approval and input. As far as Tupac I felt the film was nothing but a dramatized retelling of resurrection. Nothing special or new. I just recently watched the bobby Debarge story and I was disappointed. It was cheaply made. But on the bright side I did get so hear some good oldies.

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”.

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.
