That is how Dinah Washington was. She didn't like people singing her songs. Dinah would react just like that. Etta James revealed in her book that Dinah did the same to her.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 I know who she was playing. I just said she did the most. It was uncalled for. She could have said to her what she said to her in the dressing room without doing all of that.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 Ladenna is not criticising Mary. Nor is she not being calm. You have misinterpreted her comments and there is no need to tell her to calm down.
This movie took me to a dark emotional place that I was not expecting...JHud did the best acting I've ever seen her do...like the Queen Aretha, J has been through so many personal battles it's hard to believe she is still standing. Beautiful women, inside and out
Oh how my heart ached and broke for that precious young girl. I wanted to jump inside the movie and grab her and adopt her before she got abused. Made me cry even harder over the scene at her birthday just after her Mom died. Two big devastations back to back. Also, JH's performance was through and through lovable/skilled/talented. What an honor for her.
Thanks for this wonderful performance Jennifer Hudson. You sang and acted your butt off on this one - and all the singing was done LIVE! Lord knows Aretha is surely proud of you on this. Nominations and recognition for your performance have been coming in too for your leading actress role - The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, Image Awards, Viewer's Choice Awards, and that does not even include the songs that have received Golden Globe and Grammy nomination recognition too! Wish you good luck Jen. You got it!
I know people are admiring Jennifer and Mary's performance in this, but can we also admire Marlon Wayan's performance for Ted White? I wasn't expecting him to do a role like this much like his other role in Requiem for a Dream.
@@UniversalMokenTrollI worked the prayer line at my old church so I know you are right. I recognized the voices but never divulged their names and their business.😂
lol, mary j. blige calling church folk the nastiest people out here too funny, lol, i bust out laughing in theatre when i heard that, kinda true, lol, 😆
Amen 💕 Whatever you're going through it's not over until God says its over.. You gotta Declare Everything attached to me wins.Don't give up on God , because He won't give up on you 💗💗
Wow, no Oscar nomination. It’s a tragedy what they did to you J HUD. I’m boycotting the Oscar’s in honor of this performance that can be compared to Angela Basset in “What’s Love Got to do with it”. No one will play Aretha Franklin as great as you.
After I graduated school I found out that a girl in my class wanted to be a singer But due to her anxiety she gave up really quickly and became a cleaner at a hotel Poor girl The principal asked her to sing after the students got their graduation certificates but she left the school her friends helped her to her car she drove off
Jennifer Hudson did an amazing job 👏 and I love her down. She was great in Dream girls, which won her an Oscar. But I must admit, I would have love to see Jazmine Sullivan in this role. Maybe she could have gotten herself Oscar.❤
I feel like the movie should have started around this scene. Everything Mary (Dinah) said in this scene pretty much sums up what the movie had been about up until this point. It would have saved them A LOT of time cause the screenplay was too long.
I'm here for Marlon Wayans who was so impressive in Requiem for a Dream that he surpassed Robert Deniro as my favorite actor. I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Holiday but her acting seems decent here. I'll buy this. It looks good!
Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige has likely reunited in that scene of this movie 🎬. Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige had once joined up together since the 2013 musical drama film 🎥 Black Nativity with Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett.
Isn't this an Etta James story tho? Isn't she the one who sang a Dinah song in front of Dinah and ran off the stage crying for it? Correct me if im wrong. I read that story on David Ritz Respect: Aretha Franklin biography
Aretha was apart of the script for this movie and personally chose Jennifer to play her. The movie was done before she died. It's safe to say the scene is real
I feel like most singers, especially ones regarded as the best, probably don’t like other artists covering their original songs. They think they’re the ones who sing their songs the best, and majority of the time they’re correct.
Aretha Franklin deserved respect, however she spent more time I think pretending and covering up,things that were quite obviously the business of anybody, but things about the way she was raised. I think Rev. Franklin allowed Ms. Franklin to be around things and see things,a young girl should have never been subjected to. I think that her upbringing was shadowed in darkness,that she always tried to make it seemed perfect. She did peculiar things,like calling the tabloids to make up stories,if a certain amount of time went by,without her being in the news. Her life was very different, but she spent all her time making up stories about its greatness,granted she had greatness,but had to cover up lots of tumultuous things. All her work with Civil Rights and the prestigious name she made for her self. She always veered away from questions regarding her father,because I think a lot of painful things she experienced she did so at the hand of her father. That circuit she was running around in at such a young age,should have never been. She was in rooms with scantly sultry women,and for that reason, her innocence and childhood was stolen from her. I hope that in her next world she’s able to free herself from those painful years,and memories. It’s sad that because of her dealings with Rev. King,the FBI had open files on her. I hope she’s found happiness,in the places that surrounded her in grief and misery. God. Bless,you Ms.Franklin…prayers offered for the repose of your soul.
I'm not a major fan of hers to be honest. But I could tell by the previews that this movie was going to be good, and it's pretty good so far. I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and she is phenomenal in this role.
The brillance of JHud's portrayal is not just in the voice but the way she picks Aretha's mannerisms, walk and facial expressions is brilliant
I don't see Aretha in her.
@@tyrellanderson4722 I do...in some lights she even looks exactly like her.
@@ThePharaoho must be strobe lights.
@@tyrellanderson4722 Whatever
@@tyrellanderson4722 not the strobe lights 😭😭 now why would you 🤣😭 lmaooo
Mary's character did and said the most. I could tell she was mad, before she exploded. By her facial expression and the way she slammed her cup down.
That is how Dinah Washington was. She didn't like people singing her songs. Dinah would react just like that. Etta James revealed in her book that Dinah did the same to her.

Marlon definitely did his thing. Seeing him go the Marlon we know to a more serious role 👏🏽
Mary J Blige was awesome in that scene she's an underrated actress
We need a Dinah Washington movie starring Mary J. Blige now.
@@UniversalMokenTroll yes she was awesome acting as Dinah Washington, singing like that in Washington is another story
@@brotherloveakarhythmicsola2943 The church folks being nasty was hilarious.

Mary did a fantastic job in this scene! I love when she said, "Liar..."😊
Ok she said that junk fast
I love how Dinah schools her then within the same breath inquire about the kids’ father. Just like an “auntie “ should do.

Best lead actress race was pretty tight this year
@@joewhitehead3 I’m aware of that.
100⁰/⁰ I agree she is the best
Her singing was great, but her performance was mediocre. Just my opinion. Mary J Blige should have played Aretha.
@@mattbernabe lol I guess no one else Toto when she’s one of the first black woman to win the EGO lmao
Man Jennifer Hudson sung her azz off at the end of the movie. 💯
Mary j Blige is a real good actress.
I wanna see Mary playing Dinah Washington now...lol
Aretha didn’t get but two words out before Dinah flipped that table over 😮
The Picture that made me bawl literally four. fucking. times.
After I graduated school I found out that a girl in my class wanted to be a singer
But due to her anxiety she gave up really quickly and became a cleaner at a hotel
Poor girl
The principal asked her to sing after the students got their graduation certificates but she left the school her friends helped her to her car she drove off
I love the way Mary said “Liar!” 😂. I’ve been saying it that way since hearing it. 😂
I loved that Jennifer was picked for this role.

She got the speaking voice down PAT.

Haven't even seen it but I agree; the movie basically ending at 1972/1998 is the reason I haven't seen it.
I'm here for Marlon Wayans who was so impressive in Requiem for a Dream that he surpassed Robert Deniro as my favorite actor. I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Holiday but her acting seems decent here. I'll buy this. It looks good!
Yo, it’s Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer Holiday is another legendary songstress, get it righT.
Patti LaBelle was on Atlantic with her in the 60's.
That was extraordinary
Shame on the Academy’s and Golden Globes for snubbing Best Actress nominations- love from Philippines 🇵🇭

You're absolutely right
Dinah did that to a few artists who sung her songs.
Great scene. Dinah was the Queen and you didn’t mess with her.
She wasnt nominated for an oscar which she really expected
Steamy, harsh, introsting looking forward to seeing this 😏
Can anyone post the scene where they’re writing the song “Respect” in the studio?
Aretha: *Starts singing*
A few seconds later
Aretha: *Runs off stage*
Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾
Now i love when mary j say liar jesus to funni
Mary did so well 😂 it’s was funny to see her be mean ❤
If the scene with Dinah was true I wonder if Aretha ever felt that way when people sang her songs even when she was being honored
Aretha was apart of the script for this movie and personally chose Jennifer to play her. The movie was done before she died. It's safe to say the scene is real

MARY IS BELIEVABLE ✊🏾😎🙏🏾💪🏾🎤 👑
I love Dinah Washington very much that woman should’ve lived past 40 so unfortunate she had a one of a kind voice that’s how good she was
AMAZING!!!
Jennifer running from that piano was pure comedy, and NOT in a good way. I heard this didn't even happen in real life to Aretha but to Etta James.
Was beginning to think I was the only one who thought that part was unintentionally hilarious
Mary be wildin! 🤣
That story actually happened to Etta James!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Anyone know the name of the song playing in the background when she sees ted at the party
Jennifer hudson was made to play that role
They said her dad was abusive
Psalm 83:18 Read it, learn it, memorize it, download it. THAT is who you pray to.
This never happened between aretha and dinah this took place between dinah and etta james it's in etta book
2022 Pursue Peace convention on the ofc online site of J W's now available to view
Diana Washington played no games
“Dinah”
😢😢😢😢😢
Ok that was kinda harsh
I'm sorry, but that's not Aretha. I can't see in this movie at all.
Who was the babies father? No other man was in her life as a child besides her father Self-Explanatory ijs
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Why does it sound like they are talking slow
Such a bad portrayal Not at all a tribute to Aretha Franklin
Aretha literally chose her and had a part in the film
I don't understand how Auntie Mary gets so many rolls with her terrible acting
I'm sorry I do not like Jennifer Hudson
I *RESPECT* your opinion.
Then why are you here ???
I LOVE Jennifer Hudson!

Is this really true ? Really happened?
