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 !!!!
@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!
Damn….she DOES know how to smile.
This is amazing news
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!
