As always you bring out interesting points. I’ve often wondered why—as beautiful as Lena Horne was, men such as Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier did not snatch her up? Instead, they went chasing after “other” women.

I don't care if it's Oprah whose got some money in this B.S. There is an element in our society that will resort to anything in order to degrade these Black women (there by degrading Black people as a whole) in the entertainment industry by showing them in bed with White men. Sure Lena is great....but she went for whitey. Major point loss in my book. I mean why marry people who drained pools even after your light, bright, dam near white family members took a swim in their pools? I did like her in "Cabin in the Sky" and "Stormy Weather". excellent flicks and highly recommended. Beware of what is presented in the media.

She has the look,(I know she is not as lite as Alica Keys, I know that Lena Horne were consider a red bone) Janet has the bone structure, she has the voice range. Well! what about Janet Jackson?

Thandie Newton maybe??? I guess since Halle is pregnant that is sort of out of the question.

Alicia isn't necessarily known for being a "perfect" singer, but Lena Horne wasn't either. She's more so known for her style and ability to be provocatively appealing to the white and black audiences of her time. Don't get me wrong, Lena is an accomplished artist, as is Alicia...but they stay within their range and aren't out there trying to be the next 5 octave sensation.

She's been in quite a few music videos now and in a few movies "The Nanny Diaries" and "Smoking Aces." You know she has to do an outstanding job if Oprah pretty much handpicked her for this project.
