 Glitzy Exciting Soulful Spectacular March 13, 2007
David R. Bishop (Plymouth, UK)

Dreamgirls is a fictional story of a 60s/early 70s girl group, based very loosely on The Supremes.
Dreamgirls was a show on Broadway in the early 80s, which was very successful. It took another 25 years for them to make it into a film. The music is a mixture of 60s sweet soul and Broadway razzle dazzle, brought up to date with modern arrangements. It all really works for me.
Highlights are anything Jennifer Hudson sings, especially "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going", a desperate and heart rending plea from someone about to lose everything. Her namesake Jennifer Holliday closed the first act with it on Broadway, and brought the house down every night for hundreds of performances. Ms Hudson is up to the challenge and richly deserves the praise the critics are lavishing upon her.
Beyonce also gives some top vocal performances. If she gets topped by Jennifer, that is what the story calls for. Who knew Eddie Murphy could sing? He's not half bad you know. Jamie Foxx is great here too.
As well as the songs The group and various solos sing, music is used to advance the narrative in places, with the characters singing to each other like an R&B opera! Those sequences are mostly on the CD too.
Some critics have said that there is too much music in the film. I just don't get that. It is like saying that there is too much chocolate and ice cream in a choc ice
I strongly advise you to check out the deluxe two disc version before buying this single disc version. You wont be disappointed if you do!
For anybody really into Dreamgirls, the recording of the music by the original Broadway cast is available on CD. Also there is a double CD called 'Dreamgirls In Concert', a recording of a charity revival of the show from 2002. That one has the music and all the dialogue from the show, most of which ended up in the film.
This disc is dead centre me, and I'll be playing it for a long time. Expect a bright future for Jennifer Hudson.
If you liked the film, GET THIS! September 2, 2007

Only bought this CD to tag onto my existing order to avoid paying any delivery costs if i am honest! however once i listened to it i absolutely loved it, love 'one night only' as sung recently on the x factor.all the others songs are great too, there is not one song that i dislike. a really good cd to pop on and dance round to with the girls before a night out!!Quality!!
