Description of Dreamgirls: Music From The Motion Picture [2-CD Deluxe Edition]:
The big question about this soundtrack is: how's she doing? No, not Beyoncé, silly--how's Jennifer Hudson doing? And more specifically, how's she doing by "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"? To this reviewer's ears, she doesn't top the original Effie, Jennifer Holliday--or even Lillias White, from the 2001 Dreamgirls in Concert. On the other hand, Hudson isn't afraid to pullout all the stops, whipping herself up into a total diva frenzy as the song gets caught up in an unstoppable crescendo. As for Beyoncé, she adapts superbly to the 1960s- and 1970s–tinged material, though "Listen"--a ballad that also appears on her own B'day album--lacks the spirit that infuses the classic tunes on this album. For make no mistake: this is hard-hitting, high-octane music, infused with an urgency and passion that makes most contemporary R&B albums sound timid. When Hudson and Beyoncé duke it out on "It's All Over," or when the "One Night Only" ballad gets reinvented as the dance-floor burner "One Night Only (Disco)," the sheer energy flowing from the speakers is transporting.

Note that this two-CD Deluxe Edition features a larger booklet and additional tracks, including dance remixes of "One Night Only" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," as well as composer Henry Krieger's demo of "Patience." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Cant Get Any Better
2007-12-28 - Now what can you say about this album that hasnt already been said all i can say is if u like soulful music an powerful meaning an words then buy it you wont regret its hard to listen to music anymore an get chills from not only by the person singing it but what there saying in it BUY IT

Don't Listen To While Driving!
2007-11-04 - WOW!! This CD is one of my all-time favorites, and I can't believe I waited so long to purchase it. It flows along much like the movie, and one cannot help but to visualize the movie while listening to this Broadway playlike production. When I listen to this cd in my car, I can't help but want to get out of my seat and dance (not that I would recommend that)! But you will be tempted. Not only is the music heartfelt, but it also has great beats and soul with songs performed by very talented artists. As we know, these artists include Jennifer Hudson, Anika Noni Rose, Beyonce', Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, and others. I can definitely see why Hudson received such rave reviews for her singing on this album, as she is very talented and has a phenomenally, powerful singing voice. Of course Anika and Beyonce' were also great to listen to. However, it would have been nice two hear a song or two featuring Anika Noni Rose as the lead singer, because she really does have a beautiful voice. Also, I just absolutely love to hear Eddie Murphy sing on this album. He's exciting to listen to, and sings with so much soul and spirit that it makes you want to dance. Jamie uses the softer sound of his voice on the songs he sings, but they are great to listen to nonetheless.

All I can say is you need to add this cd to your collection. It is upbeat and cannot help but to put anyone in a great mood. It is a must have for any music library. It is much better than the single cd, as more songs are included from the movie, as well as different versions of a few of the original song. If you like soul and true singing, get this now. One thing is for certain, I'll be listening to this one for a long time to come!

This CD Rocks!!
2007-08-29 - I love the music on this Cd, it has all the music from the movie dreamgirls. Be sure to buy this Cd because it has all your favorite dreamgirls songs. You will love this Cd it you are a fan of the music from dreamgirls.

2007-08-09 - Great CD set!! First CD contains major songs from the movie and is excellent; second CD is good too but contains lesser songs. Both are fun to listen to, very upbeat, and worth acquiring.
