The big question about this soundtrack is: how’s she doing? No, not Beyoncé, silly–how’s Jennifer Hudson doing? And more specifically, how’s she doing by “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”? To this reviewer’s ears, she doesn’t top the original Effie, Jennifer… More >>

But i couldn’t get into the rest of the music. i don’t like the style of it….it’s just…ewh….i think that eddie murphy sounds great. jamie foxx is okay.
like i said. Listen is a great song.
i think the disco version of one night only is great.
there are just…better musicals. this isn’t one of them.

If you’ve heard–or better yet seen–Jennifer Holliday belt out “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going,” you’ll understand my disappointment in Hudson’s thin, overwrought version. She lacks the depth, passion, and emotional “catch” of the Broadway rendition. Not that she’s bad, not at all, but like the other actors, her voice is “nice,” not much more. Foxx and Knowles are, at best, fine–only Murphy brings passion to his role. The movie is splendid, but as a “listen,” stick with the original.

The CD for Dreamgirls is super. It is the real sound track with all the actors in place and singing beautifully. The people in the next car to me waiting in traffic always know when I am listening to it because they see me and the car both rockin’ or crying like a couple of nuts.

Apart from Beyonce singing Dreamgirls, this album doesn’t bring much. It’s a dud. Most of the songs are just a lot of talking not actual singing. The movie was good, and I think it’s better to watch that and listen to the songs. Unlike the soundtrack “Casino”, which I can listen to and enjoy without seeing the movie, I can’t with this. they should have done what most movies do and pick a bunch of great oldies by other artists back in the day to create the movie/soundtrack. and i’m also very sick of Jennifer Hudson. sure she can hit high notes, but she only sounds like she’s screaming. her voice is not appealing. i rather listen to Beyonce’s voice any day; it’s easier on my ears. i also don’t like how she’s so arrogant and ungrateful to Idol. i don’t think she’s going far with that kind of stink attitude. it just shows you’re a sore loser.
