Dreamgirls

natalie1981 @natalie1981 (1995) • Singapore 2 Apr 07

I just finished watching Dreamgirls on DVD. I LOVE to get the soundtrack. I don't think it's possible but I just love every song that they sang especially Jennifer's version of "and I am telling you". I'd have to hit the record...

emmiszoe I saw the film, and thought it was "ok" but maybe not more than that. It is really difficult to make movie musicals out of stage musicals. But I am in awe of Jennifer Hudsons voice! I never ever thought anyone would be able to do "And I am telling you..."...

emmiszoe I saw Phantom of the Opera in Londons West End years ago, as the second musical in London I even saw. It was wonderfull, we had places right under the chandellier that comes crashing down - really exciting! I'd see it again, if I got the chance.

emmiszoe Wow! Will there be a film version of the musical? Or is the movie something that was made before the stage musical? I must see it when it comes out! As I live on the other side of the Atlantic from Broadway, it's difficult for me to see the stage version.

rent: must-see movie

inowloveapples @inowloveapples (29) • Philippines 4 Jun 07

i know there were a lot of not-straight parts, but generally, the movie was great. have you guys seen it?

emmiszoe Well, I wouldn't really consider it strange that a movie with very few straight parts would necesserally be worse than one with only straight charactars? lol (just teasing) I thought the movie was ok, but I think the stage version was much better. I think...

emmiszoe To become a proffessionall ballet dancer you probably need to start young. A few manage even though they start in their teens, but not many. But to become a good amateur balett dancer, you just need a strong spirit and a good teacher! And for any other...

emmiszoe Why not check out p2p-programs like eMule and Limewire? I've downloaded films from here, and also some dance instruction-videos. And, as previously mentioned, youtube will probably have some. Good luck!

emmiszoe I donate blood approx every four months - that is what I'm allowed to. Sometimes it can be upp to five months before I get there, because as I am a dancer I have to make sure I don't have any big shows or reherasals for a few days after donating. I think it...

emmiszoe @emmiszoe (444) • Sweden 26 May 07

In the media hysteria, shopping, internet and tv-world that many of uss are living in, it is easy to get hung up on the problems of our lives, without seing the whole picture. Living in a relatively rich country, I think it is...

nurhoney @nurhoney (1123) • Philippines 22 Apr 07

emmiszoe I think dance is a great way to excersise! Not onlly does it tone and strengthen your body and shape up your balance and posture, but it also makes you happy! Integrating excersise with music, and with the natural movements you do when you dance releases a lot...
