Andra Day Performs "Strange Fruit" | United States vs. Billie Holiday | Hulu

Andra Day walked, talked, & sang in Billie Holiday’s spirit. This was a spiritual ride. I am speechless. This award season belongs to her.

Hard to believe this is Andra Day's acting debut. STUNNING PERFORMANCE. She completely embodied Billie Holiday. She humanized a legend. You could see her vulnerabilities and her strength; her beauty and her flaws. I always believed Lady Day to be a FORCE as a Black Woman, and Unique as a singer. But you really get a sense of the entire person thru Andra's
portrayal. KUDOS. She earned an OSCAR with this.

Wow. I can see her playing Eartha kitt too. Very talented women 😍

That scorching voice. Those burning eyes.

I honestly thought she was lipsyncing. She sounds so much like Billie Holiday. Even if she is, there is no denying the power of her performance. Rendered me totally speechless. My heart aches this is so beautiful.

The lyrics are still so ghastly and infuriating and heartbreaking. Andra looks and sounds so beautiful, can’t wait to see this film.

"Your grandchildren gonna be singin Strange Fruit"

[teegee]

Its the passion in her eyes that I loved most about this performance...

Yes Andra! They need to run that Oscar. Here's to the Golden Globes first!

[naimitchell]

She did Nina Simone and Billie Holiday's music justice. A force to be reckon with Miss Andra Day.

Who’s here after Andra Day won a Golden Globe for The United States vs. Billie Holiday

[gregorybrown]

A performance for the ages.She doesn’t need the Oscar or the Golden Globe to justify this incredible portrayal of Holiday.

[lisajackson]

It appears Billie pulled up into this young woman's body and parked....

[KellieAlston]

I just watched this and I am completely amazed. I even researched whether she was singing or lip syncing and this is her voice. She said she actually started smoking, drinking cold water, screaming, and so much more to get that grit in her voice. My God, Today!!! Simply incredible!

[sassyladyever]

Diana Ross already played Billie. But this woman captured her!

[KaliAction]

So much talent, Judging the preview I think her performance is on par with Jamie Fox's Ray Charles

[thearenae]

She even raised her eyebrow just like Billie Holiday! This gives me goose bumps

[lindag]

She sounded just like Billie Holiday.

I watched on Hulu last night. I think I sat in the same spot until the end. The angst, the fear of happiness of a fractured soul when he kissed her. The fight to sing Strange Fruit. Read the lyrics. Now i know what Mom was talking about. Go get Hulu for s 30 day trial. Lord have mercy. Andra Day.

[supabadbc]

She really gave Billie’s story life. I know Billie would be so proud! She said, “...your grandkids will be singing Strange Fruit!” Yes ma’am!!!! Yes ma’am!

The BEST rendition of Billie's unique voice/classic song. Period.
