[@bigmaco903]

For both Tasia and JHUD to come from American idol to now both being Icons? Manifestation 💯💯💯🙏🏾

[@halanthernandez7471]

Exactly , the voice whoo?? Haha jk but seriously .. literally every winner from AI made it somehow

[@BFick478]

Yes absolutely!!!! GOD has blessed them both with gifts and talents beyond measure! Both beautiful ladies are thriving! JHud is an EGOT and Fantasia is on her way to being one as well!!!!

[@mbcaristi3427]

Won’t He do it!!

[@eternalabundance39]

Manifesting their dreams ❤

[@rahbeeuh]

​@@mbcaristi3427won't He will

[@sxt4447]

Taraji is so full of wisdom. What she said about an actor being used as a vessel for the character is so profound.

[@tomaradoss3420]

Yes well articulated!!!

[@paulabattle8927]

Right..and you know how into it fantasia can get. So I'm glad she was there for her

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

Yeah that was some DEEP ish she's said it before but still profound👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

These bible thumpers think she's talking about some dam demons🙄🤦🏿‍♀️ freaking weirdo's

[@krisj827]

Oprah is having a great time during this press tour. I know she's happy that Sherri and Jennifer have talk shows now

[@ValerieProctor-uc3xf]

I 100% agree with you! Oprah seems on cloud nine more than the actors. Haha!

[@MindBlown_Fact]

Hello there beautiful ladies you all rock but less pink 🩷 bush looks good on you I wear it to

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

[@rellenoz]

Just seeing how far Fantasia and Jennifer have come since American Idol literally brings tears to my eyes.

[@Megadonoutdoors]

I hope you feel the same way about your kids

[@obibraxton2232]

Speaking it into existence Fantasia for Best Actress 2024 - Oscars (Golden Globes & BAFTA’s too) 🙏🏾

[@sweetbrownsuga504]

🫶🏽

[@rayrock90]

SAG awards too

[@mwelb5251]

She deserves it. People have been patiently waiting for this woman to explode and now is her time!

[@chanyisme]

Let's not forget NAACP Image award

[@michaelmaps2004]

I agree 👍🏿

[@joey455hamilton8]

It's iconic how all of the women including Jenifer had all had roles in the Color Purple wether it be on Broadway or on the screen

[@janaejones8709]

I saw The Color Purple on Broadway when Jenifer Hudson and Cynthia Erivo was in it. They shut that place down with their vocals. Man to hear it live was amazing.

[@bobbihorner4002]

​@@janaejones8709in 6th

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

Fantasia played Celie three times. Broadway, on tour and now the film.

[@rahbeeuh]

There are 2 n's in Jennifer.

[@alyseh9539]

I love seeing celebrities geek out over other celebrities 😂❤

[@dw00ds]

I still remember Fantasia's interview with Oprah from years ago...and I just love how they have continued to foster their relationship. People say a lot of things about Oprah, but you can see that she really wants these women to strive and become successful and not deterred by what celebrity and excess wealth can bring into your life.

[@franciscoresto7707]

I’m so happy to see my two favorite singers of this generation together again J hud and Fantasia! The new Aretha and Patti of this this era you two are it! Period

[@johnwebb2442]

Facts.

[@blind_t2]

well freaking put! not to mention they both got blessed by their respective peeps! the queen hand picked Jenny to play her, Pattie wants Tasia to play her! that’s a ticket!

[@Yumyumhoneybun]

I’m loving Fantasia and Leonardo DiCaprio he’s one of best actors ever!

[@ANGELSLVME]

It’s so weird how FANTASIA AND THE YOUNG LADY WHO PLAYS YOUNG CELIE LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE, esp the mouth area!❤❤❤

[@mwelb5251]

It shows good casting. Supporting characters can get away with not looking alike as they don't have as much screen time, but the casting directors and producers need to be applauded for finding someone who looks very similar to Fantasia.

[@sarahb-rh9dd]

YESSSS they are TWINNZZZZ. you would've thought she pushed her out herself😂

[@sakatherinejohnson]

Taraji I am extremely proud of her and seriously dealing with mental health. The way she articulated for Fantasia to remember to come out Character when it's cut to tap back into your normality can cross barriers in your life if you don't quickly snap back to reality lol I'm so proud

[@halanthernandez7471]

Fantasia literally got me through it with her music, she’s Sooooo AMAZING ugh I love her she’s Soo sassy and cute

[@chilol9942]

See all our powerful and beautifyl black sisters in one spot...thank you for all you do ladies, this is a powerful moment.

[@marjoriecoleman8280]

The ladies look beautiful! ❤ Soo happy for all of Fantasia’s success since American Idol! Jennifer seems soo proud of her AI alum. 🥳🎊👏🏾

[@DoseofDoriJ]

This press tour feels like a heavily lavish GIRLS TRIP funded by Oprah!!Looks like too much fun!💜😍😍😍

[@stephaneart4828]

Someone really upped the budget. These women are all looking so stunning at each stop of the tour

[@blind_t2]

speaking of girls trip, imma need another movie, if not a sequel, something of that style, with them as this cast, and jennifer, in that order. Mama O could be the elder or some to keep the girls together, and the younger ones could be like sisters and cousins. I could see maybe Tasia and Danielle like twins, then Jenny could be like the older sister that’s close. like, I could see them as a trio.

[@gwendolynbrown1355]

Yep!!!!

[@just_antony238]

Jennifer Hudson and fantasia both were on American idol and now here 😮 I’m happy to see it! 👏🏾

[@Yumyumhoneybun]

Me too

[@SoulKnightKing]

Season 3 American Idol Veterans & Academy Award winning Actors: Jennifer Hudson & Fantasia Barrino has a magical ring to it 🏆

[@josie6711]

I agree both Fantasia and JHud is amazing. You could see that they were friends on the idol and are still friends against everyone trying to tear them apart and to put them against one another. 😊

[@johnjackson1466]

Bravo Jennifer Hudson and Devine Sisterhood.

[@elizabethlofton3899]

Rooting for you Fantasia! 💜🎉

[@florazul5240]

Same ❤

[@uaintseememaaan8901]

I love all of these women. They’re showing so much love and support for one another, just like a family. JHud, I’m so glad you’re keeping that 80’s - 90’s vibe where positivity was the name of the game and not drama and theatrics. We will protect and follow you until the end of time.

[@LibraLuvStyle]

Wow all these women on the stage are so beautiful, the clothes and the makeup are flawless 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@minnieralph2052]

Jennifer Hudson has a good dresser. Whoever picks out her clothes, they're doing a good job!!

[@sakatherinejohnson]

I do adore him too Leonardo has been an old classic of many of his movies not just titanic

[@astinmartin413]

It was Growing Pains for me....Leonardo DiCaprio was my teenage crush. Everyone else was into Kirk Cameron.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

All ladies are beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@olavwilhelm6843]

Mrs Hudson is and thats about it

[@Babygirl-vt2gl]

Legendary… love them all! Leo is just 🔥

[@tyriaeliis738]

Leo his cool even my mom loved him may she rip

[@ValerieProctor-uc3xf]

Hollywood doesn't want us to know, that Leo has and still has a thing for black women. They keeps showing him with blondes which is stage. He romanced and lived Quincy Jones daughter Kadada Jones. As well as many others

[@zentgle]

Could listen to these amazing women all day! Especially Taraji, shes an absolute legend and definitely an acting veteran

[@katherinejohnson7746]

How awe-inspiring to be on a stage with such amazing, beautiful, iconic black women 😍😍😍🥰

[@MamiWataTarot]

All of yall are beautiful ❤

[@ANGELSLVME]

Look at GOD! Fantasia and Jennifer from AMERICAN IDOL❤❤❤❤TO THE OSCARS, BROADWAY, and TALK SHOWS

[@blackdimond777]

The first Color Purple ...I saw a world, I never knew existed. This Color Purple I actually lived thru the same situations in all the roles of the women. I am here to say watching this The Color Purple....my self worth was confirmed to know that all my choices to stay and endure...was not all in vain. .My day came for freedom... mentally...most importantly. And love. Don't give up. Love yourself more. And even if you can't....find the strength....one day someone will come that God may send you to pull you thru... Happy Holidays to everyone. Thank you to everyone on that stage for giving me strength and courage to stand with my head up thru all my pain. Much love and happiness...God Bless!!! Go get your tickets...💯💜💯

[@bubba198706]

I just love when Jennifer said “You know we got it…. You Know at got it!” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Qd322]

Taraji was once on the Commons hit list back in the day.

[@Idoprivatehomehealthcare-ok3cq]

😂 honestly I was thinking this without knowing,just because the way she looked at Jen 😂😂😂I could be wrong

Love to see this Beautiful panel 💜🔥

[@StephWells]

Fantasia’s impersonation of Taraji is amazing

[@luxuryfoodblanket834]

Just love it, so genuine… everyone

[@oreldean]

I always say this what Taraji is saying. I think that’s why child stars go crazy. They are too young to distinguish reality from fantasy.

[@safiyahleggings1158]

Yes. It was awesome that Taraji looked out for Fantasia in that way because she is not a very experienced actress, and some folks may take for granted the risk actors take to play certain roles. Some of them actually have major challenges breaking free from roles even well after filming, which can be very scary.

[@bmjw06]

Luv this episode this ensemble 🔥🔥👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾

Leoooooo......😂😂😂😂😂💜💜💜💜💜💜 Oprah, "focus focus" 😂😂😂

[@djm2985]

Hahah Oprah isn't lying she had that look like girl you have a certain amount of time lets sell this movie and think about Leonardo later. 😂😂😂

[@buzzworthytv9654]

In her Sophia voic😂😂😂

[@Hi.Shadow]

Oh please Oprah fangirled the same way over Jackie Jackson when she was a grown woman and if that were him in the audience she’d behave the same way. Everything doesn’t always have to be so serious. Oprah needs to lighten up and enjoy the unknown. It was a cute moment.

[@tonitwitty9529]

​​@@Hi.ShadowI don't think Oprah meant any harm over it..

[@Alyssa-ux8ke]

Too cute!!! 💜💜💜
