Anika!!! The first Black Disney Princess!!! Makes me cry every time I see her!

[@pleezahful]

She's so beautiful!

[@sandra-jones]

@@pleezahful yes she is. So grateful for her. She is also the first American Disney Princess.

[@vanityfair001]

So pretty seeing Jennifer and Sheryl together. I'm really surprised at how great Jennifer is as a talk show host. I hope that her show lasts as long as she wants it to.

[@billyjohn7846]

If only Beyonce did interviews, now that would be a reunion

[@Greyeyedwolf]

That embrace between Sheryl and Jennifer was so beautiful omg 😍

[@MelodiAria]

Sheryl and Jennifer made me tear up. As a Black musical theatre actress my heart was unprepared 🥺💖

[@corazonazultw]

Please add Jennifer Holliday on your show. And also Jenifer Lewis, who was in the early workshop of the Dreamgirls Musical.

[@roberth5708]

RIGHT !!!! JENNIFER HUDSON WHERE IS THE QUEEN HERSELF JENNIFER HOLLIDAY!!!!! SHE WAS A MUST!!!! EVERYONE BUT HER!!!

[@peanutsinspace]

@@roberth5708 I don't know why she wasn't on the show yet but the Jennifer's have sung together on stage and it is amazing! If you haven't seen them yet, please look up the clips on KZbin because it's just incredible to see the two of them sing And I am Telling You together!

[@Itsjaydendulcet]

All she said was “Leave you, and all you got to do is dream” and I’m crying!!!

[@MsDreamscaper]

Would be great to see Jennifer, Fantasia and Latoya London together on the show.

[@otg92]

that would be so dope

[@MrAngelBonet]

I would too but I think she is afraid to have Fantasia on the show

[@otg92]

@@MrAngelBonet really? Why?

[@midnitehour1]

@@MrAngelBonet Same. She done had everybody and their mama on here, Fantasia would be an obvious choice but it seems like her/her team are avoiding it lol. I’m choosing to believe that Fanny has either been too busy preparing for The Colour Purple or her team are waiting until closer to the film’s release but it’s giving low-key hater vibes

[@MrAngelBonet]

@@midnitehour1 I agree!!!

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Love how she shows respect and honor

[@TrangPakbaby]

Ugh why was Anika’s clip so short? I absolutely adore her ❤❤

[@mariannemason7700]

I was wondering the same! She is so Beautiful

[@seriousone8030]

Jennifer was having a moment with Sheryl Lee Ralph! 💜

[@florisettgordon7344]

J Hudd you were a blast your singing was on point girl❤

[@allentrice1547]

Gotta love J Hud and Amber Riley! Now that's what "Dream Girls" get! ❤❣️🎵🎶

[@browngirlradiancepodcast6437]

That was a beautiful video! Seeing you and Ms. Sheryl Lee Ralph gave me chills! Loved your reunion with Anika Noni Rose! 😍😍😍

[@angeluvsvid]

Dont forget Jennifer Holiday did the original Broadway show as Effie ❤

[@mukunimulundika5359]

I wish Beyoncé would come on this show.... It would be so perfect to break her no interviews era on JHud's couch and do some epic vocal runs with her ❤️❤️❤️

[@shyredwall]

Beyoncé did interview when she was a group. 🤔🤔🤔sitting high on your horse doesn’t mean you can’t fall😮😮😮she got the lead roll but Jennifer got the Oscar. My opinion the was story was about Eiffie anyway.

[@isthisryan7899]

@@shyredwallDeena isn’t the lead. Jennifer was the lead.

[@shyredwall]

@@isthisryan7899 you’re right. I agree l just listen to the original broadway (audio only) of the play last night

[@pastcineo]

​@@isthisryan7899oh then why did she win best supporting actress and not best actress?

[@SoulKnightKing]

​@pastcineo because the producers were trying to make Dreamgirls Beyoncé breakout film. They severely overestimated Beyonces acting and completely ignored Jennifer until the film came out and America was like Jennifer is a star, and then she won the Oscar. Supporting because they still wanted to push Beyonce as a Leading Lady

[@lamontking87]

Love Jhud the respect she has for her elders ❤❤❤

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video jennifer hudson

[@Gorgeousbaebeauty]

Dreamgirls will forever be my favorite movie! Beautiful incredible cast❤❤❤

[@lisaschaffel266]

I love Dream Girls musical, great actors and actresses in the movie 🍿

[@chrisstahl331]

Absolutely Fabulous to see all these Dreamgirls...❤❤❤

[@soulstrength]

Why did I tear up at Jennifer's fan girl moment with Sheryl Lee Ralph? 3:40

[@diegocastaneda2655]

Ok, but imagine a Broadway revival with Amber Riley and the Bailey sisters. I think Halle would be amazing as Deena and Chlöe an incredible Lorell. In regards to Ms. Riley, well… we all know what’s up.

[@DonnaThomas-px3sg]

Love your camera presence, Mrs Sheryl Lee Ralph!!!

[@nettegaines2067]

She’s so elegant

[@davecook3278]

Stay blessed JHud💯✊🏾🙏🏾

[@annabananaSplitz1]

Yvette will always be Helen from Drake and Josh for me because I wasn't familiar with her other works but she's making a resurgence and she's amazing

[@JackSinclairRN]

Jhud, Anika and Bey reuniting as the dreams would be amazing

[@ayysweetstea9339]

All beautiful ladies Smashing it!!! 💥💥💥

[@MrCMThompson]

Can we get the real Dreamgirls reunion, with JHud, Beyoncé, and Anika, and Eddie, and hopefully Jamie if he’s well enough, also Keith Robinson.

[@HoneyRoseTarot]

I needed to see this 😭❤

[@chazclifford327]

Anika rose is such a sweet heart. I love thay woman

[@t.s.o5891]

RIGHT!! JENNIFER HUDSON WHERE IS THE QUEEN HERSELF JENNIFER HOLLIDAY!!!!! SHE WAS A MUST!!!! EVERYONE BUT HER

[@GrowthNGodPod]

Baby I didn’t/haven’t even played Effie White and I knew and connected with her story. I identify toooo well with Effie, too well. And everyone who knows me and anyone who know Effie, knows that we’re each other. Caaauuussseeee. This time. Effie Whiiiite’s. Gonna-aaaa. Wiiin. Such a well developed character

[@stevennieves3327]

Fun Fact: Anika, Beyoncé, and Jennifer are all September Virgos

[@lisabaxter7786]

Beautiful

[@flourish5blessing424]

JHud- lovely show, but you cannot talk about Dreamgirls without Jennifer Holliday. Story incomplete without Ms. Holliday! JHoll inspired all the Effie’s out there. It was her iconic performance that you mirrored- yes you made it your own too. That being said, there is a vacuum without JHoll!

[@danielle5391]

Anika is absoulutely beautiful!

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

Effie from Bill Condon movie welcome in his show: Deena from Broadway, Lorrell her stagemate and Effie from West End (2016)

[@ajayiimmanuel6918]

Sheryl Lee Ralph can sing..

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I love tiana and I hope she gets a live action movie

[@ryanfaure3120]

It's in early development as we speak :)

Just missing one

[@filmgirlLisa]

Is it too much to ask for a Jennifer Holiday, Loretta Devine and Sheryl Lee Ralph reunion with JHud, Anika and Beyonce? That's too much, right??

[@colinking4891]

And where is MISS JENNIFER HOLLIDAY 🤔? . How you gonna talk about the ORIGINAL Dreamgirls & not mention the star Miss Holliday? Please STOP being disrespectful!!!
