This is amazing. They are determined to make B a STAR! She sings well but not a great actor. She looks like a million bucks, BUT not a great actor. Hopefully she will prove us wrong in this rendition of Etta. Good Luck B

B is already a star! She’s only a co-star in this movie, as it’s not just about Etta. She’s not the best actress, but she works hard, so hopefully we’ll see some improvement

Everyone looks good!
Ms. Etta looks like she is enjoying this moment of fame again! She also looks like she could be fam of the Knowles! Etta has a nice looking family….
MaMa Knowles looks good with dark hair. I don’t like Bey’s belt either… as a matter of fact I would have liked that dress if it was right above the knee as opposed to that granny length….so I say no to the look for the vening Bey…
I’m looking forward to seeing the movie!
Gabby is shiney but looks pretty! Sanna looks pretty as usual… the dress hmmm it’s not her best…. Laura London looks good but her legs are too skinny..

Angel, could you please crop a photo with Tina Knowles and Adrien Brody standing beside each other? That would be some straight-up Boris and Natasha Ghotic-ish! Where did Adrien come from? He and Etta probably kick it back in the day! lol!

The trailer, video clips and web sites market this movie like it is the Etta James story, but Beyonce is not the main character and has very little screen time. Just like Dreamgirls, she is marketing this movie like she owns it and she is campaigning for that Oscar award. Word of advice to Mrs. Knowles-Carter, you don’t dominate the movie business like you do the music biz. Keep you mouth shut, your eyes open and let your work speak for itself.

Everyone looks good.Beyonce looks stunning and beautiful. She’s already getting positive feed backs for role. Plus to those thinking this movie is about Etta James, no it’s not.It clearly states in the previews,it’s all about Cadillac records(the record label and the owner). I wish some folks would pay more attention than making assumptions.

Beyonce is going to kill her career from way too much overexposure. She seems so full of herself like her stuff don’t stink.
Anyway I can wait until this movie comes out on DVD rentals.

Tina Knowles has came up in the world. Mama has been looking real good lately. A darker hair color and less dramatic makeup has done her wonders.
Gabrielle Union… is RADIANT. Just Phenomenal!
Beyonce looks good.

Bee’s makeup is flawless.
Lauren London looks gorgeous.
Adrien Brody looks like he is about to play the role of Jesus with that beard.
Columbus Short should have shaved but he is still a cutie pie.

Gaaah, Beyonce’s dress is TO DIE FOR. Some may not like the embellishments but I think it looks perfect on her.
All the ladies look good, except Lauren “I want me a thug” London. She will forever look like a stank chickenhead to me after those comments. What a stupid child she turned out to be. All the fancy dresses in the world can’t take away her foolishness.

Etta looks good! Wow…u’d never think she was like 115 yrs old j/k…but yeah Beyonce and acting DO NOT mix. Maybe if she stop going for roles where she plays SINGERS or ENTERTAINERS, then maybe we can see if she actually can act. Every movie she seems to play herself…

@37 What is wrong with someone giving an opinion? You may not like what she says but what makes it even worse is you are stalking her waiting for her to give her opinion on Beyonce. Now that’s sad.
Good Afternoon CL!!!!!!!!!! I’m not really into these types of movies ( I still havent seen Dreamgirls) but maybe I will check it out on bootleg.

You know what’s really sad is that haters can’t even see when there hating… I would
I would like to see how some of ya moms and some of y’all look tru story becuz its always something wrong with what b have on or her moms… y’all on here repersent nothing but iggnorant ppl…. you can’t even b happy for her.. y’all downing her for doing her thing sad u would think that the blck community would come together now… nope not this generation not if it slap y’all n the face the great thing is that b neva gave up that’s the beauty of it… and I think she’s not that bad at least not n carmen anyway… or austin powers… and she already explianed that this movie ain’t all about her role.. she told us on 106&park that she’s only at the end of the movie…. they want her to promote the movie becuz 1 she’s n it and 2 they kno ppl would really go see it… despite what you may say ‘’she can’t act” but when ppl hear her name n a movie they wana run and see it.. life is to short word up some of y’all ladies need to get a reality check and grow up… its not attractive to see women actn like lil girls and haven low self esteem issues.. cuz that all u show when you try to dwn the next women… and it mostly our blck women… yall

DAMN BEYONCE IS ON EVERYBODY TONGUE!!! I’M A FAN AND I DON’T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!!!!!! WHAT THE OTHER RESPONSES HAVE SAID ABOVE MYSELF ARE CORRECT, THE MOVIE IS BASE ON “CADILLAC RECORDS” AND THEIR “VARIOUS ARTIST” AT THE TIME BEING, THE MOVIE IS NOT BASE ON ETTA JAMES OR BEYONCE! DAMN!
I THINK THAT BEYONCE IS DOING A GREAT JOB WITH HER CAREER, IF PEOPLE THINK BEYONCE IS EXPOSING HERSELF TOO MUCH WELL U KNOW WHAT JUST STOP GOING TO THE DAMN BLOG SITES READING SHIT ON HER, SHE DON’T POST SHIT ABOUT HERSELF “BLOGGERS” DO AND “STALKERS-PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO HATE ON BEYONCE BECUZ THEIR LIFE SUCKS”!!
BUT BEYONCE KEEP DOING WHAT U DO, U ARE A INSPIRATION TO ME AND I’M PROUD OF U! THAT DRESS IS FLAWLESS!

How you gonna say Etta James looks like a wrinkled raisin, she’s old. Or should she have gotten a facelift like Miss Tina to look younger. All you people think its the hair and the lipstick- No Tina got a facelift

I’m waiting for my flight to board so I came back… #53 thank you someone with common sense..lol..
Also, it would be good if you support the people behind the scenes… we always complain about things not changing but hardly ever do anything about it if you don’t support the movie you don’t support the Black director-writer….
Writer-director Darnell Martin was the first African-American woman to direct a film from a major studio (1994’s I Like It Like That for Columbia Pictures).

Co sign to the fullest I know this is a blog u can be a critic. But some ppl on here goes beyond being a critic and are just plain hateful, I hope some of these people don’t take this negativity into their everyday lives. Cause it already hard for us Black women to get ahead, so I wonder why do ppl go do so much lengths to tear someone down who is obviously working hard. You don’t have to like the person, in a reality you have know reason not to like the person you don’t know them personally, but you shouldn’t waste your time being so negative about another human being who u claim not to care for. And this is not just with Beyonce, but with any celeb, I love my sisters and what them all to succeed.

I AGREE WITH ANOTHER PERSON ABOVE ME!!!
WHY DO BLACK WOMEN HATE ON EACH OTHER??? I DON’T UNDERSTAND! I LOVE TO SEE A SISTER BECOME SUCCESSFUL, THAT JUST GIVE ME MORE HOPE THAT I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL MYSELF IN THE FUTURE. CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY NEED TO HAVE A REALITY CHECK! INSTEADING OF PUTTING DOWN A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY LET’S RESPECT AND ENCOURAGE THEM INSTEAD!!
AND TO SAY THAT OBAMA JUST BECAME OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT U WOULD THINK THAT MORE BLACK PEOPLE WOULD STICK TOGETHER NOW!!!
I SEE THATS GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAPPEN!
