My friend got cast in Dreamgirls movie! (pics) — Page 2

Hmmm... Gap commercials? I hope she can live up to the legacy left by Michael Bennett and Michael Peters from the stage show. Those are tough dance shoes to fill.

I'm still hopeful. And thanks for the info, Popular!

Fatima is choreographing? She'll be wonderful! She knows her stuff. I just hope they get all the principal casting right...

Cheers,

C.

Ya think you can get who got Effie out of him, Popular? And also ask if Usher backed out?

---

Fingers crossed for Tamyra Gray!

Popular, that's really awesome, tell your friend congrats. Oh, and count me as another that didn't realize the dancing people in the iPod commercials were real people. And yay about Fatima, I remember she used to choreograph for the Backstreet Boys back in the day and they had all these interviews with her. I think she was in a few of their videos as well.

Tamyra Gray needs to keep away from "And I Am Telling You," I'm still trying to get that horrible H&M commercial out of my head. I just think whoever is cast as Effie has a lot to live up to and from all I've heard from Tamyra Gray, she couldn't do it.

Tell your friend congrats!

I thought the iPod people were computer-generated, as well. heh.

Di, you didn't post that she was CAST. You posted to inform everyone that you were friends. Don't respond, I'm not going to fight with you. Stop playing victim.

AngusN, I've heard a few different versions of her singing "And I'm Telling You" and to me, it seems like she's trying too hard to imitate Jennifer Holliday instead of trying to make the song her own. If they want the movie Effie to just imitate Jennifer Holliday, there are plenty of drag queens out there that can do a better job than Tamyra Gray.

Cry me a river and quit throwing stones. I am sick of bein' singled out, 'cause if you think I'm a bitch, you're in for quite and awakening. Muchas gracias, Di.

I'm not familiar with her work, but I figured Bill Condon and David Geffen would choose wisely.

I'm glad she seems to be getting "raves" from you BWW posters.
