How did Jennifer Hudson lose on American Idol?

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2006)

This movie was much better than I had expected. I knew of the Broadway Musical 'Dreamgirls' and of course Jennifer Holiday's famous rendition of the signature song but I had expected Hollywood to mess it up like so many other things i.e. Chicago, Rent. This time they mostly got it right. This is a movie White folks will like but Black Folks hopefully will identified the true essence of the story. In fact we are living it daily if you look at the kind of musical artists that are in the spotlight now, Beyonce is a perfect example. I wonder if she ever stood back during the filming and saw her own life right in front of her. She is the acceptable Black Woman. The one that can cross-over to please the White audience. Jennifer, not Beyonce, desires the applause. Her Effie is true to life and the struggle for Black, real Black artist. Go Girl, hope Hollywood stands up and sees that you can sell, because that was the other point everything is really about the cash.
