Oh this is a LOOK! SERVING SERVING SERVING!

[VGBJournals]

Amazing how in these comments Bailey’s words and the subject are being skipped over to comment on her looks. This is the problem. This exact mechanism of hard truth glossed over to comment on “a look”

[RaGaLi]

Wow… about to watch the other video. Bailey is always beautiful w/or w/o makeup but daaaang…. 😍💯

Queen, you always look great, but you look incredible!

One of the most important jazz songs ever recorded. I can't hear it without tearing up.

[Frogbear]

I’m so glad you covered this! I love Billie. We share the same birthday. ❤

She had an overall unfortunate and very controlled career. Her version of Gloomy Sunday was aired on radio after the second war, but was such a sad song they forced her to write an extra verse explaining the entire story of the song was a dream and destroying the original meaning.

❤ Billie Holiday's spirit lives on

I love this look. She's always beautiful but this is so sophisticated. Kinda calls for a 🎶 Shanna Sha Shanna Sha 😂

[amandameister]

Billie Holiday is one of my favorite singers! Would love to hear more about this! Is there more to it on your YouTube channel?

[rebeccawebb]

I had my high school English students analyze the lyrics to this song.

[Ethereal-Flower]

Dang everyone is talking about the makeup but not the important history :/

[BarbarsMorgan]

Love this look on you. I almost didn't recognize you from the pic

[Bellawhereyoubeenloka]
