This looks AMAZING. :gorlonfire:
This looks good. There is soo many songs that can be placed here I wonder which ones will be chosen?
:stressed:
I wished they would've used Aretha 's voice though.
And who is Mary J Blige playing?

I smell Oscar noms for JHud and Mary.

It was a joke. :uhh:
I hope Sparkle, Ain't No Way and I Say A Little Prayer are on there. They should be.
The cast is impressive. Heather Headley will play Clara Ward, Queen Latifah will portray Mahalia Jackson and Audra McDonald will take on the role of Aretha's mother, Barbara. I'm excited for this.
Yes! it's on there!
:gorlonfire:
I'm gonna need Jhud to give a nasty recreation of this master piece
I'm shocked that it's going to theaters. I'm so used to TV biopics. Book Jen

But if they were gonna use Aretha's voice, they could have found a better actress. :dead:
So i see why they went with Jennifer for her name recognition, even though they didn't need that to sell this film either
:unsure:
meh

sddsdsdsds her management don't love her
lowkey, if they wanted someone known, they could have gotten a Ledisi
type, vocally. Not necessarily Ledisi herself, but you get what i mean.
This tribute was one of the best I've ever fucking SEEN, top to bottom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL_mb8jtirM
eeek the crowd kinda PAID Jazmine and i don't get it
Cynthia is one of the smartest singers i have ever heard. This damn tactician
This looks good....Plus Aretha chose her for a reason
She also "chose" Halle Berry :dead:
And I LOVE Jennifer but the thought of her hurricaning through Call Me, Daydream makes me sick.

Black people tear each other down like no other and call it being "real". :uhh:
I definitely don't agree with being MEAN. Those particular jokes are harmless
Many Black people like Jennifer Hudson also know when and how to take a joke :dead: they weren't wishing death on the girls child. She'll be aight
I wish they would have went with an unknown for this

So we could focus on ARETHA and her story. It's hard to do unless the vocals match and the acting is superb enough to get lost into the story
I'm not sure we have either one with Jennifer, but I'm willing to be wrong and ready to stan if she slays this thing. They definitely put a strong cast around her.

Forrest is gonna LASH...
audra is too

perfect cast for her parents
I wonder how they are gonna show her mother just leaving them
because her father got a 13 year old pregnant
mess
and I wonder if they are gonna show her (Aretha) pregnant at 12
probably not
I don't see Aretha when I watch this. Even vocally....

This is why I wish either a) Aretha had committed to the biopic she had started auditions for yeaaars ago or b) They didn't start this so soon after her death.
If we go biopic A the music would have SLAYED, this was when Karen, Miki Howard and others were supposed to be a part of it, Kierra and Fanny auditioned too.

The father part I believe they will
Probably won't reveal her age
They have to show her moving to New York.. while they all move to Detroit for his opportunity for his huge mega church and to get away from the pedo controversy
Hmm
Yeah I think aretha will just have 2 kids once he's building the choir and she storms out singing

I thought the same thing. The one scene where she asked the guy playing Jerry Wexler to call her Miss Franklin gave me hope. It's definitely shot in a similar way to Dreamgirls and Ray. There's quite a bit of Oscar buzz around this already too. We shall see.
