The BEST Movie Scene of 2006???

Movie Critics are going absolutely NUTS
about JENNIFER HUDSON's showstopping
performance in the movie adaptation of
the Broadway classic, DREAMGIRLS.

The American Idol Season 3 finalist
(same batch as Pinays Jasmine Trias & Camille Velasco)
who rocked my world with her performance of
"Weekend in New England",

has already secured a Golden Globe nomination
for Best Supporting Actress.

With orgasmic raves such as the ones below,
I'm betting that an OSCAR nod is a lock as well!!!



"If Jennifer Hudson never makes another movie,
she will have earned a modest but honorable place
in film history on the basis of her performance in "Dreamgirls."

The mind keeps returning to Hudson.

Here's one last thing:
I've been going to the movies a long time.
This is the first time I ever saw people sit during the closing credits,
just so they could cheer when a performer's name came up.
"



"...former "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson
deserves a recount. In fact,
they should cancel the TV show.

No one who's been on "American Idol" -
or is likely to be -
has the pipes of this young lady
.

When she sings "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" -
one of the most heartfelt cries of pain ever written for a musical -
Hudson inscribes her name on an Oscar."




"...notably Hudson's show-stopping,
heart-wrenching And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going).

It's a rare thing for a movie audience
to burst into spontaneous applause after an on-screen musical number,
but it happened at my screening,
and others
."




"...the number belongs to Jennifer Hudson,
and her star-making rendition
is going to raise goose bumps across the land.

With her powerhouse voice,
Hudson turns this Henry Krieger/Tom Eyen song
into a heartbreaking yelp of anguish so potent,

one preview audience gave it a standing ovation
.

That's not supposed to happen in movie theaters."



"The title of the film is "Dreamgirls"
but it could have been called "A Star Is Born."


Former "American Idol" contestant Jennifer Hudson
absolutely walks away with this big, splashy dazzler of a picture,
based on the 1981 Broadway musical,
even before performing her plaintive, showstopping number,
"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."

And that's quite a feat.

And by the way, who was it that won "American Idol"
the season she was on there?

Never mind — she turned out more than fine,
with or without Simon Cowell's help."



FANTASIA who?

Jennifer Hudson is indeed an exceptional singer. She was just so unlucky that Simon Cowell was always picking on her dress week after week after week(as if that's all that matters). I wonder what Simon would say now.

Aside from Jennifer Hudson, LaToya London had the best voices in that season. It's a shame that Fantasia won because she sounds like Donald Duck on a helium!
