And this is why it’s hard to create art nowadays. Audiences do not even interact with the material. Critique is not invested in the content itself but rather whatever is absent. Art then becomes overly burdened with inclusion it doesn’t have room for truth.
It’s then badly done.
Me watching living in colors and I had a thought,
1-are the lesbians being sidelined?
2- the Queer community is always about the men( talk about patriarchy)
This is how you know someone does not listen to Cynthia Erivo. They might only be coming across to clips of her singing.
This woman has been emoting since forever. You’re yet to listen to her.
My God! Someone who delivered Celie’s I’m here…not emotional?
She has undeniable talent and is truly one of one.
That being said, it’s always a 98% for me. Like you’ll never find a flaw in her vocal performance but there is a lack of oil for me. I’m always pleased, but rarely ever emotionally moved. Idk if that makes sense but yeah.

@SheIsFavored A year after that book, in 2021, her mother died on her deceased father’s birthday.
Like an endless rain of grief, she recently lost one of her twin boys in an instance of medical negligence.
As your boyfriend when you’re away from me I should be your first text or call in the morning. It should be automatic .. before you call your mom .. before your respond to the memes your Bestfriend sent you last night .. bfor you call your job back .. CONTACT YOUR MAN.
this is actually the issue, it is Celie saying these words.
When you listen to Fantasia, it’s her singing reflectively and not Celie.
if it was Celie this song is a DECLARATION of the power she has over herself. and this is why Cynthia’s version pulls. Because you HEAR CELIE.
It is a little hard to see but this person used 'preference of for tall men' as an excuse. There is a lot more at play that they (rightfully) chose not to say.
It is clear that the good didn't outweigh the bad for them and they didn't want to say it, hence this shallow excuse.
I had to block a 🥷 last week…
And, I quote: “While I REALLY enjoyed our time together, & you check most of my boxes, I’m choosing to disengage b/c you’re 5’7, and I have a preference for tall men.”
Disrespectfully, y’all are gonna end up old & alone w/ these stupid-ass-rules.
