I'm not really for those YouTube collages that people remix from internet imagery to illustrate a recorded artist's work, but I should probably get over it.
I mean, does the fact that 10,376,897 people have watched this video of Nina Simone singing Feeling Good mean the collage is any good? Or any better than this one that has only been watched by 1,025,093 viewers (at the time of this publication)? I can tell you for sure that the downloadability of one isn't ten times better than the other.
But damn! It doesn't fucking matter. Nina Simone simply cannot be ruined. She is so dignified in her declarations. I kind of want to inhabit her for a little while.
I just watched ten of these videos and am feeling a weird kinship with the millions of others who didn't give a damn how dumb the collages are: it's Nina Simone!
It's a new dawn. It's a new day. And I'm feeling good.
