Unbelievable!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2006)

I have never been to a Christmas day movie, but felt I had to see this movie! Those of us who watch American Idol knew Jennifer Hudson's talent, we also understood why Elton John could not believe that she could be voted off. Her rendition of Circle of Love and Weekend in New England were outstanding so we knew. However, she surpassed my expectation many times over by her performance in this movie. She stole the entire movie, I can still hear her singing in my head four days later!!!! Eddie Murphy also surprised and delivered a fantastic performance. The movie is one of the best movies ever made.
Jennifer Hudson deserves an Oscar for her performance. I felt the same way when I first saw Ray, knew that Jamie would win. Jennifer more deserves it because she actually sang. She made me cry.
