That movie was GREAT! The best part was that Beyonce didn't say more than 20 words through the whole thing. Jennifer Hudson tore the house down. the old white couple next to me were clapping after she sang AIATY- can you think of higher praise, lol.
After seeing Jennifer Holliday's version of the song at the 82 tony awards I honestly can't choose between the two....

I absolutely LOVED this movie. My hubby hates musicals and he even loved the movie! Jennifer Hudson is absolutely amazing. I never watched American Idol so this was my first time hearing her sing and it was phenomenal. My husband said her singing gave him goosebumps and he's never said that about ANYONE'S singing (not even mine..lol). Anyway this DVD is definitely something I would add to my collection. I can't wait until they win some awards.

If I was in your area, I'd go with you too Lovelyivy! Girl, those songs are always in my head. I just loved the movie so much.

I actually like J. Holliday's version of AIATY better. J. Hudson is a very close second though. I also heard J. Holliday sing "I Am Changing". I like J. Hudson better on that song.

I truly enjoyed the movie. It was well done. I am glad that it didn't focus soley on B. Just a question I know the movie is based on the broadway hit, but I don't think it was a requirement for them to consult the cast from the play or is it? Who's to say that women with darker complexions didn't tryout for the role of Deena and B just happened to be the best choice (regardless of her skin complexion).

I don't think they were required to consult the original cast. I believe it is just a courtesy.
