QuoteEXCLUSIVE: Clive Davis? pre-Grammy party is always the hottest ticket before the Grammy Awards. Tonight he dropped an exceptional surprise. Davis tonight introduced Oscar and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson to sing a couple songs, and then told the audience that Hudson will be playing Aretha Franklin in an upcoming biopic about the life of the Queen of Soul. Hudson was in fact hand picked by Franklin to play the role. It was appropriate that Davis introduce all this, since he has such a long professional relationship with Franklin. The party began with performances by Barry Manilow, Luis Fonsi, Ben Platt, Alicia Keys, Khalid and Logic. Hudson was the last singer to perform. Hudson sang Franklin classics Think, and Respect as part of her performance.

Aretha has never been a cute girl so this is a really accurate casting.

Halle!

idk. If Halle put on about 30lbs she could pull it off.

Im sure this biopic is going to document her early year to 40. and Aretha wasn't obese then.

This is more realistic than Halle Berry.
