You are darn right...here they come. And further, you are quite fortunate to have us contribute here.
Beyonce? HA! Do they come any more plastic than Beyonce? Is Beyonce trying to steal the title of original Black Barbie Doll from Diana Ross? Bwahahahahahaha!
They ought to pay Fantasia triple for grounding this big screen production in reality and keeping it real.
Brace yourselves true fans of art. If we thought that 40+ year old Diana Ross in the Wiz was a joke(I am still surprised that they made her hair curly!)? Just wait until plastic surgery Beyonce gets her "spotlight" illumination as they call it...

Beyonce' has never had plastic surgery...she just has those good ole lookin' 'black' don't crack genes...
Beyonce' will never need surgery...have you seen her beautiful mother. Now just for that dumb statement: here is a tribute to the inconquerable and one of the most beautiful black woman in the world:
Beyonce reigns in talent - music, movies, and the concert stage, beauty commercials, fashion, and living large!
What's not to hate?

Listen, I do not hate Beyonce at all. But we must admit that she has been done before with more truth. Long ago there was the great Lena Horne who, in addition to being beautiful by all criterion of western beauty, was supremely talented. Horne was most beautiful, in the class of the greatest of singers, a great actress, a fine dancer, a civil rights leader, and on and on and on...
Unlike Horne, Beyonce is severely overrated...and the product of massive publicity campaigns, coupled with soft pornography overtures. Thankfully the great Lena Horne was never subjected to THOSE realities...and it must have been the unquestionable integrity of her authentic talent that sheltered her. In the words of Miles Blackman; "It's gotta be the shoes!" HA!

"Fantasia might sell platinum but that dosen't make her talented. I've said it before. But true talents like Faith Evans, Vivian Green, Tamia, Monica, etc blow her out of the water. OH! And those ladies can actually sing a melody!! "
Comparing Fantasia to Monica and Vivian Green is insanity. Fantasia is real soul...true soul with power and grit to her voice...You are talking about radio friendly singers who are not in Fantasia's league vocally...and never will be.

Kuhn, I was done w/you in regard to debating about Fantasia. I still reserve the right to read you at will.
Also, it's funny how you people are now hyping up Beyonce in Dreamgirl. When there were rumors of her casting, many were against it(I said she was perfect for years now). Now, everybody is on the Beyonce as Deena train and against Fantasia. If she is cast, all of you will deal with it.

...Beyonce' is UNDERRATED!!! People refuse to acknowledge her impact and continuing impact, for example: ...if Beyonce' was a white chic who sang three songs at the OSCARS...we will be still reading reports, articles, and there may even be a book out by now on how she was this or that....
Beyonce' octave range is 4.2 (much much higher then Whitney Houston by the way) and the same and the beautiful Christina Augleira(sp?):
BEYONCE vocal profile:
lowest note- DIL in NY ( A2)
HIGHEST NOTE - DIL in NY (C7), SUPERBOWL (C7)
Beyonce is the first AFRICAN AMERICAN woman to ever win the ASCAP song writer of the year....
Beyonce is the first woman to spear-head an international super group to stardom and to...conquer the world with one solo album to return back to her singing group: Destiny's Child to dubbed as the best selling RB/Pop female group of ALL TIME.
Beyonce was powerful enough to pull two of ....American's top entertainers to go on tour with...Alicia Keys and Missy Elliot.
Beyonce' is talented enough to be classically trained yet ....she knows how to sing pop for profit....
Beyonce' is strong enough to hold her own against one of the world's greatest...Prince on Grammy night.
Beyonce' has been in the biz for ....8 years!!!! She is ONLY 24 YEARS OLD. Wow. (How is she for the moment?)
and I truly have more history on this lady...that would make all the inclusives more upset at her beauty and talents. Yet a selective few still...complain how she can't sing ...how she is for the moment...how she is overrated.
I wish Beyonce' was overrated because she would deserve it!!!!!
It is too easy to ....dismiss Beyonce' as overrated because...people don't want to acknowledge she is (has) making history....and one reason why is because everyone and their mama are trying to make...a living by being in the 'spotlight'.

Sounds like we've got both Fantasia's and Beyonce's "Stans" in here. I'm glad I'm for both of them.

Just from some of you alls lude responses it goes t show Fantais is the perfect choice for Effie. Aslo theres no need to compare to Beyonce she's not vying for the Deanan role. ffie is all about grit, passion, a churchy voice and a great voice. Fantasia has all of the before mentioned. Fantasia vs the weight issue. She is a dark skinned unconventional Beauty, that will do! She's not what is mainstream especially in today's concept od beauty which for sisters normally means light skin, thin noses, long hair. Lasty again she seems to be able to act from the director's own words. This is not a broadway show this is a movie, and either way she would pullit off. This is a broadway story but it is not that show its new and comtemporary. She more than fits the bill, and I'm pretty positive if she does land the role she will probly more than likely give the best, and most compelling (acting and vocals) performance in this movie. When she gets the Golden Globe nod for this shut your filthy mouths! No harshness really meant but some of these post are utterly rediculous. - A fan of stage, film and music....and also a proud Fantasian - Kaire, God Bless.

Okay. I confess I'm not familiar with Beyonce's work. What songs should I track down to get the best sense of her vocal skills?

...I am a stan and a fan...whatever. I just know that Beyonce' get some criticism from a selective few...just because she 'is'!

i hope you think that croft, No shade to you or the other fans of Tasia but why are you here on BROADWAY World before a casting annocment of her playing Effie?
Its obivous you all dont have an interest in musical theater or do you?
Posting your praises about her is not going to get her the role.
So can you all give me an intelligent answer as to why you are here?

I'm here because she's being bashed for no other reason than people don't like her . she's screen-tested for a film role and so called film snobs are bashing her because she's not Jennifer Hudson or Beyonce or an unknown , and anyway who are you to tell anyone that their views can't be aired here , at least i'm not being offensive to anyone . I'm supporting her because I think she's talented , Jamie Foxx is stating that he would love her in the film so I don't see why you some arrogant broadway buffs can talk to me me about who I should or shouldn't support

I've heard some dumb things and this is one of them. Fantasia is seriously overrated as a singer. And the funny thing is..her song "Truth Is" sounds like a reject from Monica's last album "After The Storm."

honey, did i say you cannot post here?
I simply asked why you are on this board.
Now you want to get nasty ill get nasty with you so lets keep it cute ok
This is not Fantasia forum if it was then i would understand why you would stick up for her.
There has been no announcement of her being on broadway or in this film.
So until then why are you wasting your time on here?
Fantasia is not your friend she doesnt care about you she wants you to buy her album and promote cause Clive isnt doing it
what you should be doing is sending her some alphabet cards so her daughter can learn with her.
Now if the child does not get the role will you be coming back to to tell us you will be leaving here?
