This music actually matches her appearance. she has a thick, curvy figure, so the song gets heavy on the drums when she dances or shakes her hips. awesome.

Queen Latifah does NOT get enough credit for this routine! She knocked this out of the ballpark! OMFG, she is SO GOOD in this style! She has the body language and moves down pat, and she knows how to USE that dress to full effect. And OMFG but that VOICE!!! SHEER POWER, and I love it! I feel like her usual music does her a disservice after seeing her in this! Also - I love how her cloth is green for greed and money, just like in the Cell Block Tango where they use red and white cloth colors for guilt or innocence.

I've seen other people perform this but no one has had the same kind of stage presence and cheekiness that Queen Latifah had doing this song.

I've always thought Mama was a nicely nuanced character. She is corrupt, obviously, but not particularly evil or sadistic. She is just willing to play ball.

And people think body positive is a new idea. Look at her, she's a queen for sure.

Ngl i've always had a little girl crush on Queen Latifah only because she seems to be the kind of person who dont give three shits about what others think of her and she's very confident but at the same time she's not so confident that she becomes arrogant. Like she wouldn't be scared of being honest with you but she wouldn't be outright mean, she'd be kind towards her loved ones as well.

Queen Latifah, more like Empress!

I love so much she is such a natural. No matter what she is in she always brings great talent and passion to it. Long live the queen.

Makes me feel more confident as a curvy woman to see Queen Latifah absolutely kill this song with sexiness. She is absolutely gorgeous.

I'm an old guy. I grew up on the works of Rogers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe. Although I count The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Sweeney Todd (Not the Tim Burton version thought but the original Broadway production) as superb works the movie version of 'Chicago' drips sex. Queen Latifa? Nothing but a rapper. Or so I thought. This lady not only did a great service to the character of the musical but has expanded into other musical genres that boggle the mind. This is a two fold lesson in life even in your 6th decade. Never judge a book by it's cover. And to artists or aspiring ones...branch out. Listen to the 'old' stuff and develop a style. Show us the talent you really have.
