@envymeforgood YOU CAN'T COMPARE MS. LENA HORNE AND ALICIA KEYS EITHER. MS. HORNE WITHOUT A DOUBT IS A LEGEND. NO ONE COMPARES TO A LEGEND. LEGENDS CAN'T EVEN COMPARE TO EACH OTHER. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

It's a shame that Lena Horne was born in the wrong era, and did not get the accolades that she was due..Her career was diminished by all the time she had to spend fighting racism. A woman of her beauty and caliber woulda been a humongous star in modern times.

@mrjroc318 What you stated is correct and Lena fought it the best she could. For example Lena refused to take any maid roles that were offered to her. A whole scene was cut from a film where she was in a bath tub taking a bubble bath. The decision was made because that scene would not play well in the South. You're so right when you say it was a damn shame. But Lena left her mark and inspired many others even today. She always represented great beauty and class on the screen and in her life.

I like to have music to go with my Blogs. This is perfect, so if you start getting a few more Views, I might have something to do with it.

@envymeforgood Everyone has the right to like whatever celebrity they choose, so I guess everyonehas the right to dislike whomever, as well. I don't understand this rabid dislike of Beyonce that goes on, but whatever. However to say Beyonce is not to be comparedto Lena, but the likes of Alicia, is, is not only laughable, but stomach turning. Alicia is the worst choice imaginable! They should have gotten an unknown more suitable, or Robin Thicke's wife Paula.

@Drea1239232 Its you. Lena radiates elegance. Alicia does not. Seeing as how that got to plan on using Lena's actual voice for the music in the film, because its so distinctive, why wasAlicia cast in the part??? She the only lighter skinned female Oprah could think of???FAIL! Alicia has talent, but she as Miss Horne is akin to Fantasia as Miss Ross....

You people really give a fuck about her race rather than her music? Please gtfo. Or just listen to the damn good music.

Unfortunately for Lena, she was seen as a 'n*gger' by Whites back then like every other black person. For those who question her blackness, look at how she was viewed by Whites. People need to realize that back then it didn't matter if you were light-skinned or dark...if you were Black you were Black...and you were treated as such. It's very unfortunate and a damn shame. Her celebrity status helped her, but I guarantee she couldn't go to the South and stay in a 'whites only' hotel. |
