This is Beyonce from her concert, doing a tiny part of the Broadway Act II opening arrangement of the Vegas Medley (not seen in the film). It kinda makes me feel that she should have been allowed to "go this far" with the character's confidence and star power. God knows, she's god it! I would have loved something like this to have been in the movie.

Ooh, nice. I wish there'd been an equivalent in the film, too. I like the "journey" the title song has in the show and I think the movie lost something but not having Deena reprise it in the middle.

As much as I enjoyed DREAMGIRLS, I felt there was a lot lacking. Frankly, I found the novelization more fulfilling in a way. It covered a lot that the film didn't. If I'd had my way, I would've filmed the novel instead of the final screenplay.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
