He can sing it if he wants, he has a right to but that doesn't mean it sounds good......

Hi first of all if you really knew what you are talking about you would have known that this song is not a slave song at all, it has been written by a whit man, a jew actually, who was horrified when he saw some pictures of "strange fruit" so your words don't make any sense at all... you are talking about something that you are ignorant about....

bonjour a tous je veux just rectifier la grosse bourde du presentateur cette chanson na pas du tout ete ecrite par billie holliday mais par un enseignant juif habitant le bronx sous forme dun poem appele "bitter fruit". Cet homme s'appelle Abel Meeropol. Voila je pense kil est juste de lui rendre son dut... les presentateurs francais devraient mieux se renseigner avant douvrir leur bouche pleine dignorance.....

i don't see anything wrong with him singing this song; can a white man not also feel the same sadness about the horrible things that happened? the people who say he shouldn't be singing this song are the kinds of people who caused segregation in the first place and therefore, the other atrocities. we're all human. let it be.

Pre text... I am not a racist... but really common what is this guy singing a slave song about hangings in the american south.. I mean these things have grave significance and are not to be sung by people all over for the sake of appearing "connected" and emotional.. These songs are real. And sung by this man its a PR plug on a tv show no more ..

i like the piano playing a lot, and the lead guys really handsome and im sure he knows what the song is about and i also think he was really brave to take up such a huge challenge as a billie holiday song.... but it didn't hit the spot for me. maybe if it was just an audio on better speakers.

Heavy mooded song, well done, but no Billie Holliday
