josephine baker a spoiled ungrateful french white wannabe..
read her biography after many years of basking in glory she left her sugardaddy heartbroken used him to max then dumped him like a sack of rubbish. i have no use for users
@DreamsCumTrue469 You should do some research your self and learn about this very important woman. Better yet, watch the Josephine Baker story, it's o now on tvone and comes on tomorrow same channel @ 2pm October 21st. The was the worlds FIRST international superstar!
@DreamsCumTrue469 Oops I mean in comes on tomorrow @3pm on TVONE. Watch it you will understand why Beyonce likes her. The world really. She was famous here in the states, but because she was the first of anyone to fight for civil rights she was black listed and almost forgotten here. Everyone should know who she was. She was AMAZING!
OMG!!!! Quite all this keri hilson crap! I love keri too, but that's not what brought me here, i already heard of josephine baker, and when seeing keri's video she just happened to be giving tribute to her. Even so, enough with all this "keri brought me here" This vid IS FOR JOSEPHINE BAKER, and if not for her stars like keri, beyonce, and many more wouldn't be here.If you want to talk about keri then go to her vids, not someone else's. It's pitiful josephine doesn't get the credit she deserves
@0Shams0 not really. maybe some people havent heard of joshephine baker. ill be honest i didnt look her up or know anything about her until i saw keri's video.
@0Shams0 Appreciation is appreciation. If someone actually WANTED to look up Josephine Baker, that's enough right there. People have to find about others some way, and it won't always be the way you did. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
i adore Josephine alot, if i had a play parent i would love Josephine and Howlin Wolf as my play parents cause they are alot of fun with blues and dancing with them
Estimé ami, si tu veux nouvellement écouter cette chanson et une infinité de succès de l'amour je te suggère que tu écoutes Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - il cherche sa direction URL par Google (il écrit MUSICA PARA MIMOS dans Google)-. La meilleure musique romantique de tous les temps dans Internet, va te plaire, il est excellent...!!!
@ThePharaoho "Most blacks" I'm African American and I and lots of ppl I know...know a lot about our African American culture just saying. But I get what you're saying.
@KungFuSouljaGirl Whites know more about us and score higher on black history tests on average than whites. Why do you think they still dominate us here in America and in Africa? I know, because most of my colleagues didn't know who she was and they are black and are in grad school. Many young blacks today only know through that Keri Hilson video. They only teach about the same people: Harriett Tubman, MLK, ect not to say they don't deserve it, but there are many others too they should teach.
THIS WAS A COMEDY. SHE STARTED OUT AS A COMEDY CHORUS GIRL BEFORE BLOWING INTO STARDOM. SHE DROP THE COMEDY GIRL ACT, BECAME FAMOUS AND TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY LATER ON.
I don't know if I should be glad or sad that most people heard about Josephine from a music video. There is no interest in learning about what was before us and about history, in general. I am reading her bio right now and I got to have a break to see her perform once again.
aahahahaha she was GREAT!!. Its unbelieveble how everything change (clothes, hair style, how to dance!) If somebody dance like that in a disco today, it will be for sure mocked!
@94LilJ94 ummm...no Josephine is a legend, and was the first black international superstar. Everyone should know who she is and not from some video by Keri Hilson. It's good that she did it though, for most Americans, especially blacks still tend to stay in the dark and know absolutely nothing about their own history which is sad.
@ThePharaoho Yea i feel you. I was just saying that because everyone was talking about how keri got them to their so i was just commenting on that fact.
@JPhands True, but everyone should embrace their culture and history, and everyone should respect all others as well. We each influence one another. I respect Keri Hilson for that, but I'm not really a fan of her music or what she represents.
@freelancepimp That's to you. You have to remember the times she lived in, it was very different from today. To me she is a groundbreaker and an innovator who, like Hatie Mcdaniel in there two different styles help pave the way for future black entertainers. Somebody had to be the first, somebody had to go through the struggles, pain, and humiliation so that those in the future didn't have to. But I must say that I'm still confused because Beyonce, Rihanna, ect are not too far from this.
@freelancepimp Also you have to look at her later career. At first she seemed a joke or flash in the pan because of her sterotypical semi-nude performances, but later she developed into a well respected and much loved singer and all-around entertainer. I respect her not only as an entertainer but as a philanthropist and human rights leader. She led the way in civil rights in America when there was no King or Abernathy and when all-others were too afraid. She and Paul Robeson are my favorites.
What I love about African-American dances back then was that though they had "new dance crazes" that became en vogue at the time, you could still move your body and improve anyway you felt and it was still FUN and carefree! Now if you don't do XYZ on the dance floor in a certain way you're "whack" or "can't dance". Well I say I'm moving my bones to the beat anyway I please just like Madame Baker and if you don't like it don't watch!
@ikeyrobinson This was a silent film and I don't think anyone knows. I haven't been able to find out even though I've tried pretty hard. I think it could be figured out if you got some professional musicians together and watched the original film frame by frame. With the film the resolution would be so high that you could see their fingers move on the instruments. Musicians could decode that and make sense out of it.
its obvious that the soundtrack is NOT the music La Baker was dancing to in the original film. It would be nice if that music would be reconstructed, somehow. The music used here doesn't even match the movements.
I see some elements of where the stanky leg, Janelle Monáe - Tightrope,James Brown moves, Mj and Beyonce originated.....Ever since i watched the documentary film I became more interested of Baker....
@DDSmeno keri hilson's video is totally wat got me here and lookin up other artists from that video! Lol i laughed wen i saw ur comment cuz i didnt expect any1 else to b doin the same thing! Lmao
@DDSmeno I didn't need Keri Hilson to know about Josephine Baker..but if that is what brings people to find out about her ....then I guess that is not so bad...
she face only racism in America and it so stupid to me because they would spit at her and call her names but they still want her to dance at opening nights and do shows? omg sheesh she couldnt even go in the front of the hotel she had to use the kitchen way? the French and all of Eroupe love her and not just her her race as well why? because they love Africans they love how there skin color was different from there like a forbidden fruit a soft chocolate they wish they had , .
To me, Madame Baker was the greatest performer of all time! I had the privilege of seeing one of her last shows at Carnegie Hall in the early 1970's and it was indeed a treat. A superstar and wonderful human being indeed. Also, when I visit her son Jean Claude's restaurant I always feel her presence there.
I can definitely see where she has influenced the likes of Beyonce even Lady Gaga with the makeup and funny faces...ok so maybe even Nicki Minaj too with the funny faces.
@themadmarchhare24 the women sitting behind her had some good looking legs as well. Josephine was a great talent. I wish she would have had a dance move coach she would have listened too. Her moves are repeated too often and some don't work. However I guess it was dance moves of the 1920's. Could you imagine her with a modern day coach?
Es maravillosa...! Han pasado 83 años, pero sigue viva a través de estas filmaciones que rescatan su arte inigualable... Sigue viva en el recuerdo de quienes la conocieron...!
the Bible is the word of God. but it is the tampered word of God. you need to know God for yourself. because we've been lied to. the Bible and history has been rewritten. Josephine Baker will live forever.
@Evangeline4love :God, which means all powerful, Supreme being, who made the Heavens and the earth, and made mankind and all the creatures, and who made the sun and the universe, is not powerful enough to keep his word untampered with?? ......that makes no sense. Gods untampered word is here, hiss word is always with us, he sent his son to be the living word, no one gets to the father unless they have the son, ...seek and you will find...Gods word says so.
If you had asked me when I was fourteen years old who I wanted to be like, I would have answered "Josephine Baker" without a moment's hesitation. I still admire her, not only for her beauty and skill as a dancer and singer, but also for her free spirit and legacy as a trailblazer.
Ms. Baker was a revolution in her own right. Inspiration to all. No matter the circumstance, no matter the odds, dare to be yourself, and especially love yourself. Keep true to who you are, and smile at the world, and most the world will smile back.
hey i'm african and wondering, how the hell am i supposed to be proud of this??is it that african americans lack role models, esp women or what??i cant look at ths lady wth any form of pride.french history should teach u ignorant african ameicans why they used to put such displays.ths is just tooo shameful.this is not something or someone to be proud of
This to you all who are confuse simply because its not your fault. If your people (whites) are not coward enuf to say the truth then your closed mind would prolly know life. Poorest in the sense it got robbed, was the richest till then. Religion, if Christians (whites) were worshipin God back then, ol lord sorry i would have chosen the VOODoo religion, simply because it was all about freein your children, not kinappin, killing, torturin and treatin them unlike your creation. It wasnt u GOD
In the Bible God speaks about love, accepting others, not to discriminate against anyone for their skin color. Racism, slavery and other atrocities, was the responsibility of humans. The Bible is clearly against these horrors, but humans do everything for their own convenience.
Please tell me, where the hell the Bible talks about skin color?
Canaan committed immorality against his father Noah, and he cursed him and his descendants. Nowhere does it say that God punished the black people, that's a false myth. Many morons like you interpreted this as racism, but they are wrong, the Bible has never talked about racism.
I am very sorry, this is in the Genesis. Next time, before posting comments on a book, you should at least read it =)
People wrongly justify racism, violence, and even heinous crimes with the Bible. Those people will have their punishment in hell, of course. The Bible is very easy to understand, misinterpretations are the responsibility of each person. I hope to end this conversation. Good afternoon.
white people were very very very mean at that time they were barbarian uneducated people but now they have learned that all people are the same but there are still some of them that stayed to be ignorant and uneducated people like the Ku Klux Klan
why are white people so mean we did nothing to them i hate that the only way a black person then could be famous by entertaining whites but she was truely a blessing and talented and very pretty
pensar que todavia hay mentes cerradas- lease estupidas- que critican el arte. El pais que mas drogas consume en el mundo , el de mayor estadistica criminal, es el que se siente mas puritano y cerca a Dios en el mundo.
I think people sometimes do things out of desperation. Entertainers are usually people who crave approval, attention and acceptance. There is nothing worse than not being appreciated or noticed. Josephine knew this all too well.
I think she' buffooning for the white people. I think a lot of people fail to see that. But still an immensely talented women. You got break in somehow.
the music that the producers of "La Revue Des Revues" used to over-dub these silent clips (especially the ones of La Baker) are terrible. One could certainly research the archives of the Bibliothèque nationale de France & find the original pieces.
hahah when i saw the triplets of belleville (the animated one) i thought they were making fun of her, but she really dances like that! its actually pretty cool.
Wow, first of all, her beauty is clearly timeless because in 201, I see that face and makeup and she still looks beautiful. Second of all, she is doing the charleston, the twist, tap dancing and a million other moves that I don't think were even invented in 1927, lol ... she was ahead of her time!
Formidable ! ! ! Josephine bien en avance sur son temps ! et que de bien a tu fais aux enfants les plus pauvres ! tu es reine à jamais Joséphine ! Nous t'aimons de génétration en génération !
Actually most of the racism Josephine faced was in America. In France, even the Nazis left her alone, because that's how much they loved her there. She was an outstanding performer and and a great person as well RIP Josephine Baker
I love Josephine, as do many the world over, but to say she didn't face racism in France is extreme. Due to French colonialism in Africa, anything African, and any performer of colour was of French Fancy not amour. Nazi's didn't leave anyone alone. Josephine had to flee to Africa, and papers even printed she had died. She did help the war effort, which won her the highest metal of honor on her return to France after the war. I wonder if todays star-lites would show as much courage and bravery.
@cleomabaker thank you for informing me i didnt know that and i question the same as well i dont believe many artists today would show that same amount of courage
@gatheringleaves Very true. A lot of black people were accepted very well in Europe. But America for some reason...was not very accepting. And sadly, i think it's the same today. Maybe not as much but it's there.
Here is THE joy when you compare Josephine's dancing to the other version of this dance. What a talent, she really personified the joy of dance! Thanks for the post!!!
Josephine Baker was a legendary international star pf her time and for many decades she enjoyed a great career. Upon her death she was gien a Royal State Funeral by Princess Grace of Monaco. RIP La Baker
Josephine n'était pas seulement sexy, mais aussi douée. Je trouve qu'elle savait bien danser - et surtout d'une manière inoui au cadre de cette époque coincée. Merci pour cette vidéo!
who gives a damn josephine knew that the man her mom was married too wasn't her real daddy but no body knows and frankly i don't care who ever he was he produced a beautiful child and i'm happy whether he's indian, white, black, spanish,indian orange grey purple or whatever
She was black that is why she had to deal with a lot of racism in America. The reason she left this country was because of racism. The whites of that day did not see a biracial girl they saw a black girl.
I wish I can see the video with the original sound.

If you had asked me when I was fourteen years old who I wanted to be like, I would have answered "Josephine Baker" without a moment's hesitation. I still admire her, not only for her beauty and skill as a dancer and singer, but also for her free spirit and legacy as a trailblazer.

Ms. Baker was a revolution in her own right. Inspiration to all. No matter the circumstance, no matter the odds, dare to be yourself, and especially love yourself. Keep true to who you are, and smile at the world, and most the world will smile back.

This to you all who are confuse simply because its not your fault. If your people (whites) are not coward enuf to say the truth then your closed mind would prolly know life. Poorest in the sense it got robbed, was the richest till then. Religion, if Christians (whites) were worshipin God back then, ol lord sorry i would have chosen the VOODoo religion, simply because it was all about freein your children, not kinappin, killing, torturin and treatin them unlike your creation. It wasnt u GOD

In the Bible God speaks about love, accepting others, not to discriminate against anyone for their skin color. Racism, slavery and other atrocities, was the responsibility of humans. The Bible is clearly against these horrors, but humans do everything for their own convenience.

Please tell me, where the hell the Bible talks about skin color?
Canaan committed immorality against his father Noah, and he cursed him and his descendants. Nowhere does it say that God punished the black people, that's a false myth. Many morons like you interpreted this as racism, but they are wrong, the Bible has never talked about racism.
I am very sorry, this is in the Genesis. Next time, before posting comments on a book, you should at least read it =)

People wrongly justify racism, violence, and even heinous crimes with the Bible. Those people will have their punishment in hell, of course. The Bible is very easy to understand, misinterpretations are the responsibility of each person. I hope to end this conversation. Good afternoon.

I think people sometimes do things out of desperation. Entertainers are usually people who crave approval, attention and acceptance. There is nothing worse than not being appreciated or noticed. Josephine knew this all too well.

the music that the producers of "La Revue Des Revues" used to over-dub these silent clips (especially the ones of La Baker) are terrible. One could certainly research the archives of the Bibliothèque nationale de France & find the original pieces.

Wow, first of all, her beauty is clearly timeless because in 201, I see that face and makeup and she still looks beautiful. Second of all, she is doing the charleston, the twist, tap dancing and a million other moves that I don't think were even invented in 1927, lol ... she was ahead of her time!

La Baker con su baile "primitivo" y ese estilo andrógino, popularizó ideales de las vanguardias ya en retirada... ícono de los années folles.

Actually most of the racism Josephine faced was in America. In France, even the Nazis left her alone, because that's how much they loved her there. She was an outstanding performer and and a great person as well RIP Josephine Baker
gatheringleaves 2 years ago 86
I love Josephine, as do many the world over, but to say she didn't face racism in France is extreme. Due to French colonialism in Africa, anything African, and any performer of colour was of French Fancy not amour. Nazi's didn't leave anyone alone. Josephine had to flee to Africa, and papers even printed she had died. She did help the war effort, which won her the highest metal of honor on her return to France after the war. I wonder if todays star-lites would show as much courage and bravery.

@gatheringleaves Very true. A lot of black people were accepted very well in Europe. But America for some reason...was not very accepting. And sadly, i think it's the same today. Maybe not as much but it's there.

She was black that is why she had to deal with a lot of racism in America. The reason she left this country was because of racism. The whites of that day did not see a biracial girl they saw a black girl.
