AN ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE!

one of the reasons why i really felt bad for Deena is because she was basically told by a lot of people (including Effie at times) that she was only successful because of her beauty, that she didnt have a lot of talent, but Deena definitely had a beautiful voice. They all did, just different types of voices. When it comes to their voices' i think Effie's is more soulful, Deena's is more angelic and sultry, and Lorrell's is more grounded and warm (i hope that makes sense). Their voices are different, but doesnt make any of them lesser than the other

that because Beyonce oversang for this part, the character was suppose to have a weak voice, years later Beyoncé even admitted to not toning done her voice because she was insecure of people thinking she had a weak voice like the character

I agree with everything u said, their voices are beautiful in their different ways, Deena has the grace of a queen. Beauty, voice and sophisticated. Efie has that African full voice and domineering while Anika is so lovely and soulful.

I could give a less of a shit about Beyoncé in this movie😒. Is there no girl code? Just going to slide up in there and yank Effie’s man away from her because you think you’re all beautiful and all that?

Beyoncé was not it for me in this movie. For her to snatch Effie’s man, not that he belongs to anyone and is property but to break girl code flaunting around how much better and prettier than Effie she is was so unattractive to me as a friend. Not like the other unmemorable friend did anything to stop the mistreatment and state her mind, hiding behind Beyoncé the entire time🙄

all these girls deserved so much better, especially Effie and Deena. Both were played for fools. Effie got kicked to the curb because of the way she looked and Deena became Curtis's puppet, and she was so sweet🥺 what hurts is that this was the reality for a lot of singers, especially black ones, back then

And Berry Gordy had the nerve to be offended by this movie. Saying that it made him look bad and made it seem like a black man can't be successful on his own and has to turn to criminal/shady sh*t and stab people in the back to get ahead. Which....isn't all that wrong for him. Sure Berry never did payola or anything criminal, not that I'm aware of. But he definitely did some things he shouldn't have. Diana slept her way to the top, no matter how you slice it. His affair with her and the blatant favortism was wrong.

This movie is the definition of stage to film done perfectly. Saw this on Christmas Day with my family when it came out.

Same!!!! And I too have watched sooooo many times know all the songs❤ my DVD is scratched now from falling asleep with it playing. I’m sad they took it off HBO Max😂

Unpopular opinion but Effie contributed to her undoing. From the first scene, she was already a diva. She showed up late for their talent audition, that’s a red flag. She already saw herself as the leader because she had “The Voice”, so the girls deferred to what she wanted. When Curtis made Deena the lead, she was quick to talk down on Deena’s singing ability; she wasn’t a friend but a bully. She thought because she was with Curtis everything would go her way: she can sing, her man is the manager, and her brother was their songwriter. She was not happy being in the background. Prior to us, the audience, finding out she was pregnant, she already cemented herself as a diva and unprofessional. Her storming off the video set, singing louder than Deena during recording, lets say she wanted to go solo, I don’t see other producers wanting to work with her. Show business is not only about talent but reputation. People are willing to do a lot more for you, if you’re pleasant to work with. All the people that are working with them are noticing the behavior. They might not have a direct say in how things work, but a whisper here or a whisper there can definitely cause problems. When she had to go back to Detroit, it humbled her big and I think she needed it. Though Curtis played the hell out of her, not excusing him at all. He is the villain. I don’t think Effie was ready for solo fame at THAT moment. If she had been lead singer with the attitude she already had, the disregard for other people’s time, Dream Girls as a group wouldn’t have made it far at all.

Cece and deena definitely did Effie the worst because that was her brother and close friend and they never even checked on her until they wanted something from her at the end

One thing about Beyonce... she is gonna NAIL some choreo. Give her a routine and she gonna enter Beyonce-mode every time lmaoo

They casted this movie perfectly. Done perfectly. Just, PERFECT! I laugh, I cry, I sing. Good time, every time.

Jennifer Holliday singing this will always give me chills especially when her and Jennifer Hudson performed at the bet awards together

Jennifer Hudson’s fabulous version “And I am Telling I’m Not Going” made me cry a lot, and love it.

My toxic trait is thinking that me screeching "And I Am Telling You" in the shower is anywhere near the same realm as the incomparable Jennifer Holiday OR Jennifer Hudson 😌 I love this movie tho, it was one of the few I had in my old school cd holder as a kid and I'm excited that this masterpiece is in the spotlight this week ❤

im sorry , but Dina was foul too cuz she didn’t stand up for Effie and she knew Curtis and Effie were together when he was giving her suggestive looks , people excuse her way too much for me.

Beyoncé wasn’t supposed to sing Listen that full out but she didn’t want people thinking she couldn’t sing lmao

Also Sheryl Lee Ralph wasn’t allowed on set which is why she didn’t have a cameo. Even tho Deena is partially based on her😕

This ending deserves to be rewatched. Idk why this movie is a Christmas classic to me. But I LOVEEEE this movie. They all ate. Sad story, but the art baby!!

Finally someone else who loves and watches Dreamgirls a million times and still rock with the songs 😍

At the end of the movie, I'm seriously so pissed at Curtis going anywhere near Magic. Like, no that is not your baby, for a number of reasons, and you don't deserve to be anywhere near her.

the first musical movie i watched where i didn’t wanna skip any songs!! this & ray which jamie foxx also starred in (who is literally so talented) 😩💙the cast is star studded & extremely talented!! i literally love this movie!! i agree when you said all the songs fit good bc all the songs literally carry the story all along 10/10 movie!!

dream girls is just a great movie Effie deserved better and Dina’s innocent demeanor made her perfect to manipulate, Lorrell was just young (literally around 16-17) and her first big love was sadly jimmy and we all knew he wasn’t about to leave his wife but she was so young he wore her down.Please please please do “what’s love got to do with it” next another amazing movie and the movie still slaps 👏🏾👏🏾i can quite both these movies word for word “turn the wigs around” 😂😂

If someone didn't like Dreamgirls, you would definitely make them a fan. Great reaction!

Man this was my mom’s favorite movie! I used to watch it with her when I was younger and literally everytime she watched it I sat with her. I never got a lot of what was going on but now that I’m older I definitely do and love it a lot! Literally we have the dvd still here with us!!!

Loooooove this movie! They had no right to do us like this. I remember being shook as a kid hearing Eddie sing. He always broke my heart in this. And Amber Riley always killed these songs. You can't tell me nothing lol. West Side Story is a great one! Its very obviously older so I think a good amount of people our age don't love it but it's really great

i literally never noticed the different heights of their shoes until you said it 😭

This is one of my comfort movies! I am so glad that you reacted to it and that I am not the only person who has to sing into an improvised mic throughout this movie. I used to drive my mom nuts with my slightly off key singing at the top of my lungs! I feel like you have earned this one after surviving The Sadness!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. You highlighted every nook and cranny of this masterpiece, and pointed out things I hadn't noticed (the heel heights) or fully appreciated (Anika's high notes) even after tons of viewings. Thank you for doing this.

One of my favorite musicals and stage to film productions. This film really never gets old.

This is one of absolute favorite musicals ever ✨ I remember seeing the touring cast of Dreamgirls & living my best life. And I’ve seen the movie so many times. It’s such a fun & powerful musical! If you’re looking for musicals, you should watch the director’s cut of Little Shop of Horrors!! I personally prefer the director’s cut over the final version of the movie because it’s way better.

To this day It's All Over/I'm Not Going and Listen are my top 2 karaoke songs. Can I hit all the notes? No, but I'll be screaming, shaking, and crying like I can. TO THIS DAY. 😂

Nahhh...well...damn. Cuz they showed Effie protecting her w the guy touching Dina's butt, but then u realize that moment, and when she refuses to sing lead, at 1st, and even dumb herself down, how vulnerable and "soft" she was. All Curtis gad to do was spin game on her n control her. But then those same moments show how much Effie was there for her and even she knew it. We can blame Curtis bc if they added a few more scenes of either Dina&Curtis 101 or Effie & Dina 101, we would see who's more at fault
