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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ladydoc7221]

Whenever Lauren sings live she does her own rendition of the song and speeds up the melodies and flow. It's just not the right tempo and speed to which she prefers and seems most comfortable to sing to💖

[@inthepinkconsultingboutique]

She speeds up her own songs because she doesn't have rights to sing something with record label

[@afrilifewealth8743]

Sheer brilliance! Ms Simone would have given a nod of approval at this one.

Had to stop and rewind that intro. That down beat took me by surprise. Her sense of composition is sweet and surfaces nicely given a tight band which these were at least at the beginning.
