The cast of Dreamgirls was on today’s show of Oprah. This is the first big press appearance for the movie, which hits theaters this Christmas.
There is certainly huge buzz surrounding this film. Alot of you guys sent me reviews from yourselves and others that attended the screenings thought I can’t post them all, one thing is certainly clear – every single review noted that Jennifer Hudson gives a Oscar worthy performance.
This past weekend, there was a footage leaking on youtube of Jenn’s scene in the film where she sings “And I Am Telling You”. Paramount quickly caught it of course so, you’ll just have to wait to see…girlfriend did a FANTASTIC job.
watch Beyonce perform ‘Listen’ off the ‘Dreamgirls’ soundtrack
Catch the whole Oprah episode here
I’m still wondering about the order that they came on stage! First Jamie and Beyonce, Jennifer, Anika and then Eddie! Interesting programming!
lol, Of course Beyonce is going to say Dreamgirls is not the movie for her to win the Oscar because she hears just like the rest of us who everyone is raving about – Jennifer and Eddie.
I wish Beyonce fans would accept that everybody is not head over heels for her and leave it be. Stop trying to make her look good and making excuses for her when there are none.
The smae ppl that say ppl think Beyonce can do no worng are the same ppl who make up ish like this:
Yeah Beyonce is the reason why were at war with Iraq
Beyonce made Katrina Happen
Beyonce is the reason Lil Kim went to prison….
Beyonce stepped on Oprah big toe…and laughed..now Oprah wont talk to her
STFU!!!!! Please you ppl are too damn childish…I think there should be a rule —-21 over to comment..
Bc this shit is ridiculous..Jennifer Hudson is a talented woman….beyonce is a VERY talented woman’
Jennifer will be a star..but Beyonce is a SUPERstar…shes the cream of the crop…She is talented, down to eearth, sexy, and relateable….as well as the best performer of this decade….and ppl love to hate
I WANT HIS RECORDED VERSION TO LISTEN TO
OVWER AND OVER AGAIN COZ SHES GOT ME TO LISTEN
WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES
I AM SO HYPED ABOUT THE MOVIES
PEOPLE PUT ASIDE AWARDS

Okay, J Hud don’t need to show them lil teefus like that no more!! Me no likey!!!
What in the hell is Bey wearing??? ATTENTION TINA KNOWLES: PUT DOWN THE NEEDLE AND THREAD PLEASE.
Anyway, can’t wait to see the movie.
____________________________________________________
LMAO! LMAO! LMAO!. That was funny as hell. What the fuck was Tina thinking about. The dress was way too short for me. Beyonce was trying to get more attention placed on her stuck-up ass. I love Beyonce, but I bet she’s a little pissed off that Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy is getting all the critical acclaim and Academy Award buzz. I wished Oprah could’ve interviewed Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose a little more. I so sick of Beyonce. She’s one talented woman but she is not the whole fucking movie. Oprah was asking Beyonce how she lost 20lbs. Who fucking cares?
I can’t wait for this movie to come out…it seriously has to been one of the most anticipated flicks of the year!!!
Everyone is looking forward to this movie! I am so proud of everyone this envolved in this movie…and Bill thanks for that link to the Oprah Winfrey show.
I am really looking forward to seeing Jennifer Hudson do her thing!!! I think she will be fabulous and she looks gorgeous!!!
Jennifer Hudson is the next big thing…I got a feeling about that girl! Watch…
THIS WAS HOT! EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD CAN’T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE. I DO THINK OPRAH AND JAMIE HAVE A LIL SUMTHING GOING ON JUST MY THOUGHTS.
AM I the only one tired of seeing this chick Beyonce… She startin to get washed up…http://myspace.com/productofthablock5
bee done killed it again!! can’t wait to watch the movie
I missed this episode because I forgot it was coming on. Anyway, I’m sure B sounded great (I haven’t played the clip).
Oprah called Jennifer at her hotel and personally congratulated her on a stunning performance. I know B wanted to win an Oscar but she’ll have to wait a while because if anyone deserves one, it will be Jennifer. I just hope when she gets one, she won’t turn into Cuba Gooding and start making sucky movies!
@ Fancy, it’s KITA bka NewNubianEmpress….
Y u so upset? This is a blog and that is my VERY WELL INFORMED OPINION!
If you like it, I love it! LOL It’s Not-that-serious-!
“The smae ppl that say ppl think Beyonce can do no worng are the same ppl who make up ish like this:

Do I smell a stan? How can call people childish when your post is just as childish? I got mad love for Bey, but some of yall stalkers need to take it down a notch. Gotdamn.
Beyonce sang her behind off!!!! SANG girl!
She must be doing her job, because she STILL has your attention!!! 256489745631 posts later and you are still commenting saying the same things! You don’t want her to go away, cuz if she did some of y’all wouldn’t have anybody to rag on.
I can’t wait to see Jennifer in this movie. I am certain that she is going tear the house down!! I am glad she is having this success because she deserves it!
people are so dumb and jealous. they can’t accept that a BEAUTIFUL girl can be that talented. they can’t accept that someone can be that BEAUTIFUL and still be able to sing her ass off.
and yes, i bet the studio wanted Beyonce to sing that song, are you people that dumb? if you were a studio executive and you wanted to advertise your movie, would you use beyonce who is a 9-time grammy winner, and a member of the most sucessful girl group ever, and not to talk off her all consuming buzz, or jennifer who has just entered the scence.
come on use you brain people, if you have any.
The reason why Jennifer didn’t sing is because they don’t want the movie ruined. They know people are looking forward to see how she will cover her big song.
Also beyonce is a very talented singer not ACTRESS! They know her fans will come see the movie that is why she is in it. And she truthfully admits it. This is not the movie where she will win an Oscar. She said it her self. If she can say it, you can say it.
Stans across the world stand up and admit – Beyonce can not act (Yet)
#7 -GOOD LOOK with the “LEONA” clip–girl friend does have pipes! She can give BEYONCE a run for her money for sure! But BEYONCE or that LEONA hick cant sing better than “J.HUDSON”– sorry.
#20–LOL, I must agree with you that dress BEYONCE wore on OPRAH was so TACKY (sorry but it was) it looked like something off of THE JETSONS cartoon show. One of her titties could have popped out at any given moment. LOL–with her BIG assed EARS!
#24–I AGREE! All of the actors & actresses have done superb jobs in this upcoming MOVIE however J. HUDSON steals the SPOT LIGHT & OUTSHINES the entire cast. It became obvious that BEYONCE was a little “jealous” of JENNIFER HUDSON during the OPRAH interview as OPRAH gave JENNIFER PRAISE for her singing & acting in the movie. BEYONCE even went so far as to make mention that she beleives that “SHE” has done her BEST acting work in this movie, & added that she had an ACTING COACH…beyonce was almost in tears…the audience sympathized & gave her a round of applause for her statement.
I wished JENNIFER HUDSON would have performed at the end of OPRAH. That was a dissapointment.
I DONT CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS…”JENNIFER HUDSON” will take the “OSCAR” for this one. She is already getting the OSCAR BUZZ!
Is it me or is Oprah the classiest dressed out of all the ladies? lol Yeah I believe every cast member will at least get the chance to do their thing and shine in this movie. With all the hype buzzing around this movie, guess I will take the time out to go see it after all.
What the fuck is wrong wit ya’ll Beyonce stans? I want yall to get a damn life. I don’t know why the hell people just can’t get on here, say their piece and keep it fuckin movin. Instead you have obsessed beyonce fans who get all bent out of shape whenever someone says something REAL about their beloved B. Well you know what… Fuck B!!! Yeah I said it… fuck B-e-y-o-n-c-e! How ya’ll like dat. I mean damn it’s not dat serious. Even if you aint got no problem wit da girl, once you get on here and read a few post about her your bound to become a full blown B Hater. Aint nobody perfect, not even beyonce, so chill da fuck out when someone voices his or her opinion. Damn it man!!!
After hearing Jennifer H sing, I’m not that wowed by Beyonce. She still did a good job though and I can’t wait for the movie.
I find it funny how ppl keep saying Beyonce is only good at singing and Jennifer Hudson is the real star, when NO ONE has seen her act yet, only sing.
Either way, I’ll see this movie just off the strength thats its an all black cast… and i hope as many of them as possible get awards consideration, Beyonce, Jennifer, Jamie, Eddie, hell even Anika!
All of you Beyonce “Stans” need to sit your asses down! She’s pretty, can sing and is the current “it girl”. Other than that she is human…not immortal. She will at times- have an off day, make a bad wardrobe choice and generally fall short of ridiculous expectations!
I will agree with some of the other posts- the pink and red outfit looked like a Vegas cocktail waitress dress. The black dress was a much better choice.
Another observation: There seemed to be some underlying competition between her and J Hudson. Jennifer was very gracious about the comparisons, but the fake hugs/smiles were all around. I guess the statements that Jennifer “stole the show..was the break out performer…deserved the Oscar nod”, didn’t play well with Bey.
@ 183 I agree completely… I really can’t understand why Beyonce generates so much energy both positive and negative. She WORKS HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THIS GAME. That’s undeniable. I think there are quite a few people that would like her bette if she was on TV broke, homeless and crying. You don’t have to be a stan to see that. The constant carping at this chick is ridiculous. It tells me more about y’all than it does about her.
As one of the few people on here who have SEEN THE MOVIE…Jennifer Hudson takes it away. That is also undeniable. But give her a minute. Beyonce has worked hard and long to get her spot and Jennifer will have to also. One movie does not a career make. But she can blow, no doubt about that AND act…and for those who can’t stand to see a light skinned woman get her just due props, maybe she’ll get more love from her own people.
God b is so stunning even with her hair pulled up. she shld do that style more rather than those blond ridiculous wigs. People, b is talented so giv the gal a break. jhud is good as well but badly needs a stylist. Jamie was cool as well and eddie looked realy skinny understandable knowin what he has been tru. I wld c this movie.
Beyonce made me want to work out even harder..she was perfect…thank God no blonde hair this time….she looked statuesque!!! Bey is jealous of J Hudson though..but hey the play Dreamgirls…EFFIE’s role got all of the shine anyway, so Bey shouldn’t be suprised….the song “And I am telling You” is PURE CLASSIC….J Hudson is finally getting her chance and Bey should be happy, but I’m sorry Bey tried her best not to growl when J Hudson got her shine on…
Okay I don’t want to hear anything about Beyonce can’t sing. That girl just sung her ass of you have to give her props even if you don’t like her. Another thing I don’t think we should be comparing artist to each other because each have what the other might need. I can’t wait to see the movie just from the previews it looks amazing. For # 20 People have different styles of dressing Beyonce dresses the way she likes i don’t think she should change herself just because she’s on Oprah. I just want to tell BEYONCE girl you are doing the damn thing. Keep your head up and dont let anything these people out here get you down. They have talked bad about you before and you got through it.
P.S.: GIRL KEEP DOING YOUR THING BECAUSE I STILL BUMP ALL DC AND BOTH OF YOUR AMAZING SOLO ALBUMS. I LOVE THE CLOTHES AMAZING.
*KELLLY J*
I can’t stand Oprah she seemed so fake 2wards BEYONCE like she was so in 2 jamie, jennifer & Eddie.BEYONCE loked like she really didn’t want 2 be there.And on the BEYONCE & jennifer subject if BEYONCE was upset her career is & will always be bigger than jennifer’s.
GOOD LUCK ON THE MOVIE BEYONCE, I LOVE UR MUSIC:)
Beyonce never floored me vocally not even on Oprah with all that hollering! But Jennifer, SHIT, that girl can sing her ass off! I will watch it on dvd I can’t stand to watch Beyonce act on the big screen that would really kill me! I like her but she needs to fall back with the trying to sing hard and strong it sounds like it’s soulless! I can’t wait for Jennifer to come out with a cd my girl’s vocals are serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sick of Beyonce…she always look perfect…havent really seen a bad pic yet…
All I want to know is, where were all you Jennifer Hudson fans when she was on AI??? Ya’ll sho’ wasn’t voting for her ’cause ass got kicked off. I don’t wanna make it seem like I hate Jen because I don’t. I just am amazed at all the “fans” she’s gained recently.
Im laughing because I really believe if beyonce(black barbie)was not light skinned she would not be getting a second look and would not be soooooo wonderful !!AND I think that a lot of black women like her because how american has made it ok to just be light skinned and not dark skinned thats why beonka is not worried about jennifer because if she dont get her in singing she will always win with her looks and her skin,blond hair,small body and fake ass!!!!(I’m light too and pretty so thats just real talk)Sorry I changed the subject!!!
I think you black women need to make a song instead of I wanna be like mike /I wanna be like beyonce because she is not that damn great and I would not be sitting her given another female more credit then I would give myself beyonce is doing her thing but stop riding her like she is the best thing in your life back down some!!!
@211 get a life brandy used to be the hottest thing smoking back in the mid to late 90s and she is dark.So what the hell are you talking about??? Dark skinned ppl are always angry about dumb shit the girl is talented and that’s that..Jamie Foxx,Fantasia,and many more dark people are talented and highly recongnized., so get a damn ife and stop nit-picking..
There is no disputing that B has wonderful pipes, but i guess everyone is a little bored of the whole perfection routine, like rough it up a little, give us a glimpse of being human, minus the make up, wigs, costumes and rehearsed lines. Jen on the other hand is a breathe of fresh air and deserves to shine shine shine…
its funny how you have to get a life when your talking about beyonce i aint mad at you #213 your the kind of person i’m talking about (take a deep breath)life is all about “critique” or “critcizing”(look it up little girl) and that wont stop so dont step big because I can quarantee i know more about life than you beside you might need a life because I make 16.00 and hour without all the education that is needed and have a husband (just thought i’ll put that out there at cha)!!!!!
@215 16.00 an hour aint shit maybe you need to research the money you are making..I work as a damn student in the hospital making 15.75 an hour *smh* black people.
WOW U B STANS ARE ON A ROLL!!!
I finally saw the Oprah episode and B did look like she wasn’t excited to be there. She surely wasn’t giving Jen the same love that Oprah and the audience was giving Jen. She actually seemed uncomfortable when they kept applauding Jen.
And for the record: Many gorgeous women can become insecure in the presence of another gorgeous woman or talented woman.
And #207 Oprah has had B on her show a few times and has praised her. I hate to call ppl STANS b/c I hate it when ppl call me a hater BUT you know you have to be a STAN when you get mad that Oprah didn’t show your girl the respect you felt she is due. Come on now, listen to how silly you sound. So now Oprah is hating on B?
Oprah doesn’t have a reason to be fake towards B. Even if Oprah wasn’t a billionaire she still is intelligent and articulate. So once again, she still wouldn’t have a reason to be fake towards B.
Call me a hater but I won’t be up to read it. Good night. Moma tired.
That’s the best Beyonce has ever sounded. She is using her “real” alto voice and it’s about time!
Beyonce is a jealous bitch who wants an Oscar for her sorry as acting but doesn’t want any of the other cast members( Jennifer Hudson) to win one. Read on:
Beyonce Knowles has hailed her Dreamgirls director Bill Condon as a contender for the 2007 Academy Awards. The former Destiny’s Child star credits Condon for giving her her first “real acting role” after supporting performances in Austin Powers In Goldmember and The Fighting Temptations.
Even though the film isn’t released in America until next month, the Oscar rumours have been circling Knowles and her co-star Jamie Foxx for several months. However, modest Knowles says, “If anyone gets an Oscar for this movie it’ll be the director. “I don’t know about my chances, but I hope I’ll be in the audience when he wins an Oscar.”
Beyonce with her ignorant ass said on “Nightline”:
“I want to be the first African-American woman to have a Tony, an Oscar and Grammys,” Knowles said.
Well, dumb bitch, African American Actress Whoopi Goldberg has all 4 wins (plus Golden Globes)
Oscar: Ghost
Emmy (Daytime): Beyond Tara
Grammy: Direct from Broadway
Tony: Thoroughly Modern Millie
Golden Globe: The Color Purple AND Ghost
I saw the movie for the second time today and let me tell you guys who haven’t seen it yet you are really missing out on a big, big film. Jennifer was great I hope she gets all the recognition she earned and deserves despite her being a newcomer. Indeed she put all her heart and soul into it and we felt it. This is truly her season and indeed her time to shine, so lets support her and be happy for her. I know she’s happy, a little bit frightened, nervous and excited just going through a lot of different emotions right now.
OH JENNIFER, JENNIFER, JUST RELAX BABY IT’S OK! JUST TILT YOUR HEAD BACK LOOK TO THE SKIES AND SAY FATHER I GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY, HONOR, PRAISE AND THANKS FOR OPENING THIS DOOR FOR ME!! ONCE YOU WOULD’VE DONE THIS YOU WOULD JUST BE FEELING A WONDERFUL PEACE, CALMNESS AND OVEWHELMING JOY DEEP WITHIN.
