Just to let you all know, there are 2 versions: a. 1-disc that has whole songs and b. 2-disc deluxe version that includes whole songs plus snippets that the characters would sing + different versions of AIATY (dance mix) and another song.

Why are people really surprised that Eddie can sing? I was even more blown away by him than I thought I would be. Jamie Foxx was on Tavis Smiley talking about Eddie's performance and what he(Eddie) conveys with just a glance. This man needs an Oscar!!! I LOVE all of the songs that he sang. I wish Anika Noni Rose had been able to sing a little more. This woman did win a Tony after all. There apparently was a song in the play that she (Lorell) sings but they decided not to add it to the movie. Oh well. I will be getting the 2-disc version and I can't wait until the movie comes out on dvd. There will most likely be some type of deluxe version. It will join my collection of great black movies: The Color Purple, etc.

There was applause and some ppl stood after JHud sang AIATY... This seems to be the case all over the country. I think she did Flo Ballard, JHoliday and the role of Effie in general very proud.

Hopefully my comments didn't spoil anything for those who haven't seen the movie. Go see it asap.
