we should’ve burned the academy down when Beyoncé didn’t even get a nomination for this performance

Hot take… Beyoncé’s cover of “I’d Rather Go Blind” is better than Etta James’ version. 👀

Wow! This really is outstanding. The music is so deep. This movie shows so much pain. It really helped me be more aware of the tribulations that black artists went through. The one thing I wish is that they spent more time to go through the complex relationships (Len + Etta).

This movie had wonderful musicians featured in it, such as Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, and more. Overall, this movie was basically ear porn, every piece of music in the song is sung beautifully and everyone played their roles as if they were the actually historical musicians.

Cadillac Records

A stylish, music-filled ride through rock and blues history. While the pacing rushes through decades of complex history a bit too fast, the incredible performances and timeless songs make it a must-watch. 🎸
