I thought all of the actors did a wonderful job with me I feel when I watch a movie and the actor garbs me in and make me forget who I am watching job well done because when watching this movie I honestly forgot that I was watching "B", Mos Def and everyone else so to the whole cast job well done (ancore)!!!!!
B you did your thang girl she should be proud Etta give credit where it's due and that youngster put you back on the map stop hating people she's handling her buisness and you know it i am a beyonce fan this is true but now i'm also a etta james fan B Stay true to you people will alway's talk even when they don't have s*** worthwhile to say & remember they paid and will continue to pay to see you on screen keep doing you ! and keep giving them s***to talk about alway's a fan
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.
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.
