Sheryl Lee Ralph got those girls sittin up and perky :-)

[@iKETOURAGE]

Sheryl Lee Ralph was slayin' with her posing and her lil bop to the music like she was in a beauty pageant. haha

[@Minoritynomad]

I think it's because she's the only one still on Broadway. It's still in her.

[@iluvmyboba]

Sheryl Lee Ralph, Mama... It's 1983 all day. She did not come to play. She did not care how they sound. She came to represent a Dream Girl. And that's what it's about. Hats off, Mama.

[@soulocz]

Sheryl Lee said forget all the vocals, she came to give body to the people

[@user-nubiangoddess]

Yess

[@ajaycbaby8837]

Jennifer was like, "I am about to si g louder than all them heffas." Mission accomplished too bad is did sound good. That last note had me laughing.

[@anetrisplus6911]

I bust out laughing myself

[@HAYTOZED]

Interviewer: what do you think of this performance? Aretha: Great gowns. Interviewer:And vocally? Aretha: Next question please.

[@candicedavis2486]

Oh my gosh! Loretta Devines voice is heaven!

[@brynedney]

Just a little more, tad more rehearsal needed.

[@esjaemusic]

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

I agree. Just a LITTLE bit more. They could have really nailed this. Still, it's great to see them together on this level!

[@bbridge4th]

Bravo for taking the time to cut down your own people. I always go back to my teaching that if you have nothing good to say then you should say nothing. I think it's a good value both to have and to promote I applaud you!

[@waynehill2444]

ROTFL! Couldn't agree with you more!

[@ApolloJames1]

a little? the were way out of sync

[@tj6742]

Respect to the original girls! they look wonderful. thank you ladies!

[@MiguelAlves1]

Dang, Aunt Sheryl is looking PHINE

[@yar581]

YALL GOT ME DYING IN 2020 😂😂😂😂

[@cinderella217]

Probably wasn't Rehearsed, but I can tell they all had good voices it wasn't long enough for them to show anybody how they really do it, it's obvious somebody saw all of them there and told them to get up and do it.

[@justbeingveetv3423]

what in the entire hell was this👀👀👀. i cant

[@herher733]

HOLLERING!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂NOT A PORTION OF HELL...THE ENTIRE HELL!!!! I CANNOT!!!!!

[@wbegradio9227]

Excellent. Love them. I saw them when the original DreamGirls first hit Broadway. They look amazing 35 years later. Awesome. God ladies!!!!

[@GeorgeDaigle]

I love these women's individual talents and voices. Beautiful to see them all looking so well and beautiful Perhaps schedules didn't permit more time to commit to blending and execution. However, I think that some rehearsal and polish would have producers knocking down the doors to have these three reprise the roles on stage.

[@angelagm566]

For those who's complaining about everything from head to toe. C a n you do better? All three started from princesses to queens, all three have recorded and have memorable history that evolved to legendary success that will last for many many decades. Love you Loretta, Cheryl and Jennifer....your dreams are true..

[@mikejustgothere1685]

Angela G M yes I can do better

[@chevonne22]

Heeheeheehee You do know that singing is quite a popular talent, right I mean it it far from abnormal for the average person the be able to sing well and harmonize.

[@cecegiles7753]

Angela G M Would u buy that single from that performance??

[@krystalelainesantos]

I’m watching this in 2019... and the comments do not disappoint at all 😂😂😂 They clearly didn’t rehearse a thing together.. #TrainWreck 😩😩😩

[@shawnpreston1639]

Sheryl Lee Ralph looks damn good 35yrs later. I don't know about the singing LOL. They sounded a hot ass mess. And I don't know who wrapped Loretta Devine in gold tin foil, but that dress is not flattering on her abdomen area. It looks like she just got through eating at the buffet table back stage. #justsayin' I love them all, tho!

[@boombox889]

[@THEDISH54]

Okay people....voices drop after decades and the ONLY one up their that has been singing on the regular IS Jennifer. So...they were not the 80's Dream Girls vocally...but those beautiful ladies...ARE STILL HERE AND WORKING!! That alone in HOLLYWOOD and in the Music Industry is MAGNIFICENT for BLACK ICONS especially females. Thank you ladies and God Bless Y'all. ChinaDoll of the Platters

[@canocano5480]

they should do this at the Grammys in honor of Mary Wilson, writer of dreamgirls

[@Bonnie62049]

They've still got it... WOW ❤❤❤

[@therisingphoenixlovedbynat121]

Well, they look beautiful.

[@miriampruitt3097]

I would pay to see those ladies in dream girls again.

[@lovebyondegree]

Something is not right 😳

[@HAimcookie]

Jennifer Holiday's face at the end and that scream!!! 😱💀

[@robbycharmed]

[@rayray88161]

She looks like a werewolf hoofing on the microphone screeching on the microphone!

[@Geniosa06]

Sheryl Lee Ralph didn't have to stunt on us like that. Just full blown BAD BITCH!!!😁😁😍😍

[@PetroleumJellay]

They look good but them harmonies are a damn mess. Jennifer Holliday always be killin it tho just not with these other two.

[@roshunwest1682]

Right cause this was a flying saucer mess

[@brooksinternational4128]

THE MOST HIGH 7 lol

[@terraywynter1583]

Jennifer Holliday killed it

[@ae-Michael]

2:30 Jennifer Holiday's face 😂

[@markeyce_P]

loretta😍 best voice the one next to her AMAZING...other one idk.

[@crysal_clear1426]

Omg I didn't know the movie was real OMG wonderful

[@skeleton5459]

🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@westley5735]

Sheryl was unquestionably at a peak level of beauty known to man. It’s insane, what age was she here???

[@sydandtaytum]

wow, how am i only finding out in 2017 that these 3 were the original dreamgirls? i know all three of them from my favorite childhood tv shows---- moesha, boston public, and ally mcbeal.....had no fucking clue they were the original dreamgirls

[@jeffinhodiscarado]

Just amazing

[@kaylamontes8744]

Ohhhh... that caught me off guard 😳

[@cjfreeman6485]

Jennifer was amazing I'm still thinking about the others...

[@shemene647]

Omg !!!! God Bless these Queens

[@johnnyc3184]

Sheryl........ Got body! Caribbean Goddess!

[@kegansky]

A mess. 🥴 “We’ll be THEEEEE-AAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA-re!”

[@eugenesmith5173]

Wow. I like the show and like all of them. However, this was LOUSY. They were terrible.

[@iantuition]

It's not THAT bad lol. Well, it's not their fault. The key was lowered too much, and they were struggling; you can tell when Sheryl comes out and nearly bottoms out on "Are you happy?" They couldn't even acclimate to the key on their own so of course the harmony would be a mess. And then you have Jennifer................

[@sherrisolomon8673]

welcome back!

[@diontaedaughtry974]

Beautiful women 👌👌, Great singing 👍👍

[@jonrichdoe84]

Its the Ego's. Sheryl snaaaaaatched. Jennifer outsingin and LOUD!!!!! Not nsync at all

[@ithakayakame8968]

Love all 3

[@sashadunn4285]

[@MizterB]

[@somethingaboutmary21]

I couldn't finish this. It was terrible! Some things are better left alone. I still love the three ladies...they are trailblazers!

[@user-nubiangoddess]

My Jamaican sister miss Sheryl Lee ralph

[@_Shinique]

OK MISS SHERYL!!! She looked fantastic.

[@terib6270]

Please tell me this is rehearsal!!!...Never the less this is Destiny's child in 25 yrs.lol!......Jennifer is Bey with the overkill..Sheryl is Kelly playing the middle lane.... and Loretta is Michelle, quiet and playing the background..….and the song will be Bootylicious at 60 yrs old!!...lol!

[@heyheyfc]

When Jennifer Holliday belted at the end, i kinda pee-ed a little. :X

[@JDjr2003]

Jay Loe oh my god. i just croaked

[@evonnenicole1079]

Omg, I’m rolling!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@albosta5]

such a great show.now playing in Richmond

[@dee6090]

Yesssss ladies

[@chasenip2]

Hot. Ass. Mess. They're all in business for themselves.

[@redtreblecleff5075]

WONDERFUL to see the three of them together again! Not a great performance, though.

[@cocotheestylistsandy1334]

OK they looked good but the sounds I heard come out of them left me wondering why not lip sync? I mean we know,eerrrybody gets old and sometimes your vocal cords don't hold up as well as they used to. They tried it.

[@NavyTexan713]

I thought they sounded damn good. That's live music and no auto-tunes!! Just singing!

[@CarmenZynger]

Miss Holliday is such a tiny petite little slip of a girl. Sheryl Lee Ralph is still sizzling. She is in her late 60's folks!

[@russellwright1324]

Carmen Rouse Sheryl Lee Ralph looks amazing but she's not quite 60 years old

[@Im.Intelligence]

She'll be 60 next month

[@evertonwilliamew7news387]

Divas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ThatsHer78]

This jawn still is hilarious 😭💀

[@tasteoftakeisha]

They look good

[@66JLB]

I guess this is what they mean when saying use it or lose it. I wasn't aware that Ms. Ralph had nothing to lose

[@MrCalvinC32]

ummm yeah that was cute. it would have been nice of they could have found their note. Sheryl low key lowered the note and that's why the other two were thrown off. lol and is it just me or did Jennifer and Loretta switch roles. lol Loretta came back looking like Effiee not Jennifer. lol let me stop. I love all three of them.

[@macoyaanglin4424]

oooo no lord the original.

[@Jonas-nf2bc]

Oh Lord, Please no... Stay retired... Ouch!

[@alexishemingway2026]

I’m cryingggggg cuz y’all ain’t shit in these comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DazBRayy]

Ladies looked beautiful

[@seanjenkins331]

Sheryl os wearing that dress

[@BalletBabyBoy]

I think I see some insulting comments on these magnificent women. Before you criticize, try to put yourself in their position and see if YOU have the talent to come even close to them.

[@doreenwillams4613]

No disrespect but that was a Hot ass mess.

[@igotyourback9175]

They all looked great and my goodness Cheryl Lee Ralph is a brick house!

[@devyndavis8266]

Sheryl yes ma'am

[@bobbytaylor1884]

Jennifer girl gottdammm 😭😭😭

[@nunnobeeswaxx1344]

Sheryl came to slay

[@Dyamanti22]

Phenomenal women

[@j.a.whittler6983]

They needed to have their ear monitors checked. Plus, leave the alcohol alone. It is not good for the vocal chords. Loretta Devine was the best singer out of the 3 women. Just my opinion. Have a blessed day!

[@richardfamousactor2261]

And we see why Sarah was the original Beyoncé/Dena role of the group. She fine as hell even now ‘ wow!

[@joshblue1212]

It’s Loretta screaming for me 😂😂😂

[@ajaycbaby8837]

First off Jennifer needs to stop singing heavy metal in a pop group.
