DREAMGIRLS MOVIE GOSSIP!

Personal assistant to Beyonce's assistant? Isn't that a little excessive?

Tamyra Gray as Deena? I don't see it.

If thats true, then thank goodness Beyonce knows the show and doesn't want it rewritten so she can sing the big song. That shows a little bit of humility.

Margo...Frenchie was on season two, it's Tamyra Gray

Tamyra Gray sang And I'm Telling You for her first audition in the Top 32 of American Idol...it was great.

Well I HEARD from a friend of an uncle of a sister's babydaddy that I would get my contract for the role of Deena...that's right, the first teenage whiteboy to play the part ever...but it's true.

Laughing my ass off at ShuQ...)!

I hope to god that Tamyra gets a part as on of the girls, because I love her so much and she needs the career boost. Frenchie Davis should play Effie.

You saw her as Effie?

Personally, I think her voice is excellent. Very strong. I actually think it's too smooth for Effie though. Not raw enough. Acting-wise, no comment. I'm sure she can make it work since she's done the role a couple of times before.

Actually, Tamyra does have the energy and spunk for Lorell. She can do all that rough high singing (On AI she did "ANd I'm Telling You" and "Fool In Love")...Her solo career doesn't show much of that spunk. That "Raindrops Will Fall" is more of a Mariah/Whitney clone song... Maybe they are considering her for a backup to Deena...And, TonyaF, I'm likely to believe this gossip because the movie wouldnt be legit if they didnt try and get the most likely candidate for Deena, which is Beyonce. I'm sure she knows a lot about the show considering the history with Destiny's Child, comparisions to to Diana Ross, and most importantly her own love of good music.



Here's the question though, Do you think she could get nominated or possibly win an Oscar for this role? We all know Effie is meatier role, but anything is possible...Or do you think they could/would cut her role down to make it more of a supporting part (They did this with CZJ in Chicago, but Deena has so much to do, I doubt that this would work). The reason I'm asking this is because I know her people have an agenda in advising her whether to take this film on the basis of what it will do for her career.

I know this is reading way into the future, but I've seen some Oscar message boards where people are predicting who will win more than a year in advance and a lot of times they are right.

OH MY GOODNESS NO BEYONCE PLEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!

Marquise, or how about that line "Am I ugly to you, Curtis?"

If I was in the theater I'd stand up and say "Heyal Naw!"


Even though Beyonce can sing down, I don't think that would limit her from playing Deena. Most the stuff Beyonce puts out as single displays that she has a pleasant "pop" voice. I dont think she's ever released song as singles that really show her ability to sing "Dangerously In Love." was just something she performed at award shows/concerts (It should've been released,IMO)

As for handling Beyonce's vocal abilities, couldn't it just be played up more that Deena started out rough but got much better. I don't think the score would require her to do much singing that would reveal how well she can sing. I know some people hate Audra's Deena, but I actually liked that she could sing (Now her vibrato and phrasing are another story)

this post is closed please stop the rumors there are other DG posts...post there wheb filming and castoings starts then talk cause this movie still might not be made
