INCREDIBLE... Stephanie Mills - Home | REACTION

[@Msgroovystyle]

She originated the role of Dorothy on Broadway in the show "The Wiz". She won a Tony award for her role....often imitated but never duplicated. A living legend!!!

[@Teeyah2]

Absolutely!!

[@GalaxyNexus1]

She didn't win a Tony. She wasn't even nominated. The show, however, was nominated for 8 Tonys and won 7 of the 8.

[@timrobinson6116]

She was suppose to have played the role in the movie, but Dianna Ross greedy azz....lol

[@GalaxyNexus1]

@@timrobinson6116 you're not "supposed" to play something until you're actually offered the role or actually cast. She never was. Berry Gordy considered her for the role, but they would have never got the budget they got, casting her. Diana Ross' "greedy azz" got them millions of dollars of backing they needed to actually get the film made.

[@harvestnoelcrawford7026]

@tim robbins she was offered the role, she had it but diana ross squeezed her out

[@kcincy]

It always amazes me that this big voice comes from a person who is only 4'9". She is such a dynamo!

[@ms.one-town901]

Funny you said that. I was attending an outdoor concert and Stephanie was performing. We started to hear this mighty voice and thought it was a recording of her until she hit the stage. I stood up and it was actually her. No one in the middle or back could see her on stage. She was so tiny, she looked like a doll on stage. We had to stand the entire time just to see her. 😂🤣 She did not disappoint! Simply amazing ♥️🖤🤎🤍

That's nothing. What was really truly amazing was that this big beautiful voice came from a 16 year old 4'9" girl.

@@karyn7246 Out of all of the wonderful, funky, sexy, and soulful songs from Ms. Mills, the wider public focuses on that saccharine disco-pop. Yes, It is masterfully produced and sung, but I would've rather had something that had the true sass and soul she embraced. Two Hearts, Put Your Body In It, Feel The Fire, are far more authentic.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

This song is from The Wiz which is the Tony Award Winning All Black reimagining of The Wizard of Oz. Stephanie originated the role of Dorothy on Broadway and the show swept The Tonys with 8 nominations and 7 wins. Michael Jackson developed a friendship with Stephanie while she did the show and he went on to star in the movie version as The Scarecrow, but Diana Ross replaced Stephanie as Dorothy for the film. Stephanie says she and Michael began dating at that time, and their friendship continued through the years. About a decade after Stephanie originally played this role on Broadway, and after revisiting the role in several other productions, she remade this song, which was one of her big numbers from the show. She did this remake as a tribute to Ken Harper (the show's original producer) and Charlie Smalls (the show's composer who wrote this beautiful song), both of whom had recently passed away. I love both versions and appreciate her changing it up, but the Original Broadway version will always be my favorite.

[@johnrouslin9730]

It’s too bad the studio wanted a big star rather than give Stephanie her chance to really blow up. Cuz let’s be honest, Diana’s more commercial voice doesn’t stand up to Stephanie’s.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

@@johnrouslin9730 Diana sang the music beautifully, but where one could say her voice doesn't stand up to Stephanie's, one could also say Stephanie's acting, looks, charisma, star-power, professionalism, body of work, awards, accolades, accomplishments, experience and clout didn't stand up to Diana's. A voice is not the only thing considered in casting a movie.
