Yeah, about that, while kicking Effie from the group that way was too harsh, think about it:Effie had always been a egoistical and moody diva, at the point where she had no problem in basically saying that her friend Deena, who was timid and insecure, wasn't talented enough to sing lead (while Deena was in the same room, may I add) and she never told anybody that the reason she was becoming even more unprofessional was because of her pregnancy, so they kind of had all the right to want her out of the group, at least until she ''cleaned her act''.

[@marinarasauce9853]

Lela Anderson that’s not really pinning others. She was just talking about Jennifer Hudson, not comparing her to Beyoncé or any others in the movie. Don’t get me wrong they’re all amazing, but some prefer other singers with more variety of vocal styles

[@marinarasauce9853]

Lela Anderson I understand what your saying, us as black people shouldn’t do that to other black people, cause in the end all of those women are amazing. But, I don’t think the person intended for the comment to be so serious. The REAL bad ones are saying things like “ Beyoncé can’t compare or is not a good singer like Jennifer Hudson” or even worse.
