Dreamgirls



Just watched it just now. I am damn impressed. Not to say their marvellous voices but too their acting skills. Jennifer Hudson really deserve those awards she got. Everything in this movie is good. I loves it a lot.

Dreamgirls is a Broadway Musical, which opened on 20 December 1981 at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway. The musical ran for four years and 1,522 performances, and won six 1982 Tony Awards. It's basically about 3 young women who dreams and became Superstars but sacrifices has made to reach there.

Starring Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose. The song they've sang, the harmony they've made is so wonderful. Very broadway-ish though true it's broadway, but the expression and feeling they've spilled is the main thing we have to see and listen through those wonderful voices. The song "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" sang by Effie White ( potraited by Jennifer Husdon )often considered the show's signature tune, describe Effie's love, both strongly devoted and defiant. She refuses to let her man leave her behind. She boldly proclaims to him, "I'm staying and you ... you're gonna love me." People might found her voice a bit annoying as she cries and cries to the very end of the song. A very,VERY strong voice which fits the song 150%..

Winning Golden Globes and nominated for 8 Oscars, can you say this is not impressive enough?

This show is the show of the year, for me.

update update : She won the best supporting actress in the Oscar.Amazing eh?
