Lauryn Hill & The Roots - "Feeling Good" (Nina Simone Tribute) | 2018 Induction

[@alexcubbages5747]

Ms Hill is an actress......she would be awesome as Nina Simone. She captures her spirit.

[@jacquelineadams3770]

I was thinking just that. Lauryn would have been perfect for the role.

[@paulinebailey2278]

Yes I agree, she would make a perfect Nina...

[@nr30199]

Instead Hollywood decided to cast Zoe Saldana and put dark makeup rather than get a dark skinned actress to portray the dark skinned songstress.

I know. Some people complained about hearing "...cracks and bruises"; however, I loved hearing it. She sang it as if she was talking to herself.

She couldn't hear herself singing. Her earpiece wasn't working properly.

[@oliviahutchinson2280]

She's in vocal distress. It's hard to watch. Her range is gone and she's working really hard. I wish she was feeling better than she is.

[@PastorIhaza]

Awesome Comment 🏆

[@shabrethajennings7291]

That voice is damaged though still has a nice sound but it's important to be healthy and properly trained your voice. Otherwise, it will get worse and could end someone's singing.

[@Honey-vz1qq]

She's been through a lot. Give her a break. She pumped so much good music over the years, and I'm forever grateful.

[@bellareid3488]

Pumped out what music? 2 Fuguee albums, Miseducation & the unplugged album? She has a tiny back catalogue considering how long she's in the game.

[@ryanmacharika3946]

She only has one album that won album of the year She just stopped making music

[@bellareid3488]

@Sir Ian of Essex Lauryn is racist?? what makes you think that?

[@bellareid3488]

@sir Ian of Essex just googled. It was a rumour she strongly denied. Wishing her dead is wrong and hateful too.

[@victorrobertson680]

@@bellareid3488 and with only four albums to her name she is still better then most of the musical artists today...it would be really nice if she would release a new album but she probably doesn’t want too because she is still making money from her old albums and is still touring...I’m grateful she is still touring being with what she been through especially with going to prison and having a mental breakdown...

[@lualncol]

She’s an alto, plus she’s older, she’s not going to have the same range or the same voice, don’t judge her instrument. She’s an amazing musician and an amazing artist. She carries her life with her and it’s a different jewel, but a jewel still.

The incomparable ms Hill, having the bravery to cover the legendary ms Simone is a treasure in itself, I feel in this performance you can see an artist going from *should I be doing this? * to... Damn right I should be!! And in the process, channelling all that was nina into that last few notes, leaving us with.... Not a masterpiece but a master class in what it takes to cover a true gem.

[@Tristanrgreene11]

If ya watch her communicate in a normal conversation within an interview if you can find one, you’ll see she’s in a pretty good headspace, her band is killin and if you’ve ever tried to perform with a group of that size and with backup singers and a horn section, a drummer blasting anything he wants, you’ll know that it’s very hard to pull that off in any kind of natural way. Also she’s not touring or doing tons of performances lately so I’d say this came off just about as great as it could have and I’m greatful to have seen in it and her band.
