Jamie Foxx and Usher Join Dreamgirls Film — Page 4

Silent, I agree that we will never see eye-to-eye but I welcome the opinions of others. I enjoy healthy debate.

And as for my list, well the list has 29 I believe so, that gives some leverage for those who you may feel are questionable. As I stated before, my assessment was based on many diffrent things. For example, Deb could sing Mya underneath the table, but Mya has more star quality and fits well next to Beyonce. Also, my statement was that those that I listed deserve parts before Deborah. Not necesarily as one of the 3 Dreams. I meant being in the film.

And mind you, so far the cast is just as I predicted it would be. I've been contemplating this movie cast and posting about it since the old broadway.com boards. Jamie, Usher, and Beyonce is what I said. So, I think I have a better handle on what the producers are looking for and what will work.

leomax, Taye is too old to play CC and Jamie's voice is wrong for Jimmy (and it's not a stretch to see him in this role.) The Eddie Murphy choice is throwing me for a loop, but I guess they are really playing up the has been aspect of Jimmy's character.

Tarralyn Ramsey - jeez, how could i forget about her!!!
If she can act, i think the role of Effie should go to her - HANDS DOWN!!!

I wish Taral Hiks would make a comeback...and be more succesful at it. Not only was she great in Belly, but, her performance in Subway Stories was so moving. How could anyone not love her???

I wonder how old Martine Allard from the Tap Dance Kid is now? She would have made a good Effie.

How was she? How old do you think she is?

just did...its been almost a year that film is going to video

Martine has to be in her early 30's

Is it true that they are doing a nationwide search for effie?

Well I'll be dammned! Who the hell are these people delievering this information. First they call C.C a choreographer, then they say Usher is not in it at all1 I'm quite upset. I hope he does sign on.

I wish that people would do their research before they publish an article. Jeez, what ever happened to journalistic integrity. C.C. is not Deena's boyfriend for God's sake!

my girl wants to party all the time party all the time party all the time...........

The idea of making C.C. a choreographer in the first place seems odd. It's not like the black singing groups of the 60s were known for their fancy footwork. Hopefully they don't have it in their head to have modern dancing in the past.

I may be wrong in this, as my memory isn't that great - but didn't C.C. choreograph their moves for the Apollo Contest?

They say most songwriters are bi. Do ya'll think C.C. was?
