    THIS PROVES aLICIA KEYS IS VERY VERY PREGNANT AND SPERMINATED! BECAUSE WONT SHE BE FITTING THAN MARY FOR THIS ROLE?

    DONT HATE ON MY OPINION !!!!

  2. Simone says:

    @Mac Nina was a dark skinned woman with prominent features while I agree with you a little on the basis of Alicia’s voice… I think Mary looks wise was the best for the job.

    I was named after Nina Simone and have been a fan of her music since I was a child.. I’m excited about this! Go MARY, GO!

    @ mac diesel, is Dub Diesel (Formely W. Diesel) your pseudonym at SOHH?!???!?!?!

    You are most correct Simone….another factor is the quality or tone of Nina’s voice……Mary can better depict it, I think, than Alicia.

    For those who are not so familar with Ms Simone’s work…..check her out on youtube…..I Wanna Lil Sugar in My Bowl……..is classic!

    I think this is a great fit. She can pull it off. Jus have to make her voice a lil bit more raspy…Nina Simone is one of my favorite jazz artists, or just artists period. She’s the reason why I started producing. Her music is so relaxing and thought provoking. Good luck Mary!
