I liked Dreamgirls and this looks like it might good too. Can't wait to see it.

Egh. I feel like I've seen this movie before. Wasn't it called Ray or Dreamgirls or something like that? Although I think Mos Def has great potential as an actor, I refuse to sit through another Beyonce kNowles performance.

Beyonce is a outstanding performer but I think it could have been better. I personally feel that etta james has a more driven character. She's more factual and spontaneous.When beyonce plays a role it's more like drama and suspense. so when you put beyonce in a film like this. you can't mix suspense with history. when you think of history you think drama and what happen in those early ages of a person life or something. But the point of it all is that pick someone who can depict that person peronality and background. Most importsntly their character. Like christina aguilera for example I heard her version of " At last" it was really good. for the first time I think christina could have played her not because her background but figuratively speaking she dould have played her. Take a look at etta james earlier pictures even though she's a african american descendant but she does have some exotic features so does christina. so if they might think of reshaping the movie.I think christina might be a option.

Beyonce did a GREAT job in this performance as Etta James!

I wanted to feel the real story of Lady Etta! She was not portrayed well here.
