Dang it Sketch, you beat me...
But Jennifer Hudson was really, really super. I actually thought Beyonce' was very nice as well. Very understated. It seemed to me that she was able to really draw from her personal experiences fronting Destiny's Child in creating her character. The 10-minute all-music scene which culminates in "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" totally delivered.
Jamie Foxx is electric. Who knew? Oh, and I actually thought Eddie Murphy was overrated in the role.
I was watching Jennifer Holliday's original Tony performance of Effie on YouTube the other day, and I have to say... between she and Jennifer Hudson, it's hard to pick my favorite.
It seems like just yesterday, we were talking about Jennifer on the American Idol thread here in this very forum!
