The NEW Trailer is here 😉 ➤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4rRlWuug8-Xgq8

[@themarcos150591]

Aretha herself said Jennifer was the only one capable of playing her. They respected her will.

[@GODSlove1358]

When did she say that? On Wendy Williams show Aretha was feeling a totally different actress playing her in a biopic.

[@Starcrossedslv]

Boss Lady #1 in a interview I think it was with Wendy (not on her show ofc) Wendy asked her who she’d want to play her and she said Jennifer.

[@fhvschnvc3411]

She actually suggested Halle Berry, but Halle didn’t think she’d be able to pull off the vocals

[@GODSlove1358]

@@fhvschnvc3411 Yes, it was Halle Berry, because Wendy suggested Jennifer Hudson. I remember because they was doing a private interview and Wendy showed Aretha a hat or some other item she got from an auction that was Aretha's and Aretha joked with Wendy like she was going to take it back and keep it. It's on KZbin not hard to find.

[@xtinafan06]

​@@GODSlove1358 That's not true. Ya'll twisting and completely re-writing the facts like crazy. Wendy suggested Queen Latifah, and that's when Aretha abruptly said "no." She mentioned that Jennifer Hudson had a nice, clear voice, and implied that she along with Fantasia were being considered for the role. She literally said, "Could be Jennifer, could be Fantasia..." and then Wendy chimed in with "Queen Latifah?" to which Aretha very sharply went "no ..." lol. Also, Halle Berry was Aretha's "first choice, but not my only choice." After Wendy mentioned her again, Aretha said that she would like the person to portray her to be more confident.

[@Danashia22]

Omg I never thought they would be able to find someone to kill this role but Jennifer is giving me chills

[@pawzforthought]

When I first heard they were filming this, I despaired because I thought they'd never find someone who would be up to the role. I am so glad I was wrong.

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

Miss, not Ms. Back in the day, putting "Miss" or "Mr" in front of entertainment figure's name was a signal of respect. White singers and actors were always called "Miss/Mr So-and-so," by the press, and even by fans, but Aretha -- Miss Franklin -- had to demand that she be accorded the same status.

@@deborahsimmons3370 because National Geo is world renowned and Historical. More people have access to Aretha Franklins story Not all US movies play overseas. They took their time with her legacy like her funeral 8 parts. They did a great job stories already been told . Aretha deserves more than a 2 hour long movie also It’s late being released and besides Hollywood always trying to steal the moment with big glitzy productions with well known actors. Prime example They have Mary J playing Dinah Washington I love Mary but Dinah Washington was known for a high pitched operatic Soprano voice.. Just a few reasons it’s redundant

[@danicamason547]

White legends are portrayed multiple times by multiple people and it is never viewed in a negative light. Marilyn Monroe can be redone millions of times and people will watch. Why is it different in our community? Why do we feel so disrespected to tell the story of a legend that celebrates them and then turn around and tell it in a different way to celebrate them again? Why can we not celebrate black excellence when we see it period?!?!?! I know some African Americans struggle with Erivo’s previous elitist tweets, or Africans playing important roles but must the whole movie with other black greats be dismissed? Cynthia Erivo has a wonderful voice and is an accomplished black actor. I have been trying to watch her version. Jennifer Hudson is fabulous!! I will watch her version. The two worked side by side in “The Color Purple” and gave me chills. What is the issue? I know who Aretha said she wanted, and let’s be honest she also said she want d Halle Berry, but I can’t say that she would not have been honored to be this celebrated. The division among us will forever prevent us from rising up.

Jhud is a beautiful human being. I'm so thankful for her existence. She went through hell, but she didn't give up. When I was watching the teaser, I thought: what a beautiful mountain you've been climbing, girl. The world is your stage.

Best Actress in a Leading role: Jennifer Hudson

[@jonathanfoster4202]

Still confused how her dream girls role was considered "supporting," she literally carried that movie

[@MrJameel22]

@@jonathanfoster4202 I totally agree! Initially they thought Beyoncé was going to carry the movie as the leading actress. Jennifer hopped in the driver’s seat and took off! Lol.

[@richardmayora5310]

@@MrJameel22 No one thought Beyonce would carry the film. Dreamgirls is not written that way. it's an ensemble piece and Deena is not the center of attention. That is one of the reasons it took 25 years to come to the screen.

[@MrJameel22]

@@richardmayora5310 I’m not talking about the script. I’m talking about star power period. Beyoncé, her Father and team. Going in they definitely thought she was going to be the main attraction. That’s two different things.

Jennifer: "WHAT YOU WANT" Me: HAS IMMEDIATE CHILLS Queens Jennifer and MJB, this movie is going to be a masterpiece I can already tell!

[@wesgriffin6081]

I remember hearing that Aretha's 1st pick for the role was Halle Berry who was very graceful and respectfully turned it down telling Aretha inasmuch as she is honored and beyond flattered, if she gave everything within her, she could never bring justice and honor to that role. And Auntee, I can't even sing !!! You need somebody that can not only Act, but can sang they azz off !! Enter ..... Jennifer Hudson ❤❤❤

[@before3340]

One of the greatest singing voices of all time.

To think...I remember seeing Jennifer Hudson from the beginning on American Idol, and I knew then that she was going places. I just didn't know HOW much she would be going places! So proud of her! She really came from humble beginnings and that American Idol show changed her life so much!

[@angelictigerette]

@DestinyC1020, I can't believe they put her in the bottom 3! That's alright, look where she is now!! The people who put her in the bottom 3 look silly now!
