All I can say is Simon Cowell, eat your heart out. Thank God she didn't win American Idol, it was a blessing in disguise! Jennifer Hudson steals the show-- she is awesome. Eddie Murphy is fantastic- who knew he could sing?! From the start to finish it was just a terrific, fast paced, interesting, beautiful production. Some of the sets seemed very 'now' vs 'then' and some of the dance moves reminded me of 2006 very slick--some even reminded me of a Britney Spears dance video-- but this was OK. The sets are gorgeous, the costumes, the music, I can't wait to buy the soundtrack. I highly recommend this movie, and predict it will win many awards including Jennifer Hudson's breakout performance. Welcome to Hollywood JHud! Jill
