Excellent singing but like someone else said the blocking was distracting but that's the director's fault. The actors were FABULOUS! I really enjoyed it tremendously!
I love how ghetto fabulous Lorrell is. It put a huge smile on my face :) Lorrel was obviously going to whoop Effies ass. This was such a great version ! They were all such beautiful singers. Go on' ya'll !
I applaud your perfomance, One of the best I've seen in a small venue version of this great musical. Thank you especially for NOT emulating Miss Holliday like so many do and for singing in your own style and in your own VERY VERY good voice. Very emotional and very effective. Good luck to you!
I dont think it was strong enough, and you didnt seem to hold on to your notes as long, but i think thats what you were going for, a different tone for the character, which is the true thing that makes a real performer, well done :)
also the girl who played evi or whatever her name was is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD!! i was crying her performance was stunning!
the guy in the pink bathrobe and the white girl and the white girl in the brown dress and the guy in the light brown jacket sucks at singing too who the hell had the bright idea to put white people in that play im not being rascist but a white girl cant compare to a black girls singing no offense to anybody thats my opinion and im sticking to it
@adsweaty Thank you so much for your wonderful comment...but actually both the girls you thought were white...are actually black...they are just light skinned black girls.
@Nattalyee oh really then i guess your wonderful singingoutshined her im sorry you were all very good i actually clapped while sitting on my computerXD GOOD JOB YOU GUYS I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN IT
@beenn15 actually im not black and i do believe that most black singers ive hed have a strong good fllowing voice than white people who tend to have softer voices im white so i would just say im not being rascist im just sayin just that the 2 girls other than effie sounded really oft im not being rascit, and im just saying most of the time you can tell a diffrence, look im not going to start an arguement over this
wow...she wasnt off key guys they just lowered the key thats all...(very smart if i do say so myself lol...i wish i couldve done the same when i did it for a scene)....this is a VERY hard song to do and I think you guys did wonderful!! You took a different approach to the character and made it yours, as an actress should. check out my vid when i did this on my page...it wasn't a full production and .didnt have enough singers in it but it was still pretty good considering.
@Pickle951 Thank you so much...I played this a couple years ago and if I could play it again it would definately be stronger but your the first person to actually pinpoint the portrayal I was trying to give. Bravo to you.
@therockstar244 I HATE when people wanna come wreckless about my videos but then don't have any videos up themselves. This performance was beyond amazing! You try sing this whole entire show LIVE every nite. I pretend to be no Jennifer Holiday but I know shed proud. So until u got some talent to show to back up ur words...get off my page!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Can you spell BORING! Effie was off key and was taking wayyyyyyy to many breaks. Then When they did the clip Heavy Heavy they were singing way to fast. Then in this is clip they were singing too fast and they didn't sing on the right note! This is just bad!
One of the best Effie's I've seen. I appreciate the fact that you didn't try and emulate Holliday's performance as so many others do; this is your own personal interpretation and it works well. You are very talented. Good luck to you!
all tha play's of dreamgirls cant beat tha first one, everyone knows that. but you can't single out any of these plays on youtube, just because they're NO WHERE near tha Original. no one can beat Jennifer Holliday, Loretta Devine, Diana Ross and/or Sheryl-Lee Ralph. they are tha Original Dreamgirls that inspired all these plays that's being played all over tha states. i think this cast did a wonderful job :)
I'm probably going to get alot of hate comments and messages for this, but this was no way near as good as the first. Effie was okayy but the rest was bullshit. No talent, second rate DIVAS. Lol.
In case you didnt know, this was a COMMUNITY THEATRE PRODUCTION!! No on said this was Broadway. and also...this is one of the best community theatre productions of Dreamgirls you will find on youtube. Please find me 3 community theatre productions that are better than this and I will say our show was bullshit...until then...get a life and some talent.
I predicted this. I do not need to get some talent, because I'm not the one who is singing, and if you can't take an constructive cristism, then your not professional and could use with improve your production skills. I wouldn't put a show on unless it was good. And I had a decent cast. Dreamgirls is a MUSICAL, therefore the cast must be able to SING.
I'll admit there were some weak links in our show but you're trying to tell me my show was bullshit. CLEARLY we are not going to be as good as Broadway, but we we were damn good for a community theatre. Also, you said you were in a production of Dreamgirls but a video of your show is nowhere to be found. I can take constructive criticism but your criticism is hatred. not constructive. Also...I was up for the role of Effie White in the revival of the national tour of Dreamgirls. So I have talent.
Firstly, I wasn't saying your show was bullshit, I said everyones singing, except Effie's (Your's) was bullshit, which many people would agree with. Secondly, I said IF I was going to put on a show, I never said I did. You brought my talent and life into question, so by human instinct, I'll say yours is shit, even though it clearly isn't. And the title nor description says it was a community theatre production. I didn't know. You told me in your first reply, but I was more focused on your insult
It's hilarious how you defend your argument by saying it was "constructive criticism" (it wasn't. Reread your post.) imply anybody actually said it was as good as the original, and then go off on one when somebody disagrees. Saying "I am probably going to get a lot of hate" does not excuse you for flaming.
It's hilarious how you are starting an arguement that ended around a month ago. Get with times, you retard.
It's really got nothing to do with you. I said something that offended the people involved with the show, not you. You seriously need to get a more interesting life, and please impose on mine.
Don't bother trying to defend yourself girl.. Your talent shines through to everyone else.. F4TCH4NC3 just sounds jealous to me... Can't wait to see you on tour/broadway. Thanks for the videos :)
omg i got chills!!!!! (thats a huge compliment especially from me!!!!) obviously this isnt better than the original but the original didnt give me chills!!!!!!
yeah she is one of the good sounding ones. CC and Michele are terrible. though i doubt michele is really that terrible. given how little she was singing i think she just had a yucky voice crack during the middle of the number... but dont even get me started on the "harmony"(OW!) at 3:19
SHIT!!! as far as im concerned she has no voice she sounds horrible...aw hell lets face it she sounds like a BITCH. lol no talent wats so ever buh some people jus cant sing. LOL
lol who was dah guy who was singin beyonce part lol he looked gay no offense.. n dah girl who wasnt dah sister 2 beyonce jenifer n dah ova 1 her who eva she was was pretty bad lol no offense again
who was the guy that was singing beyonce part he looked gay no offense... an the girl who wasn't the sister to beyonce an jennifer she was bad im mean really bad no offense again.. oh an by the way lol means laugh out loud... everyone knows that..
I've checked out every available vid on YT of this number and you folks had it all over all the other "It's All Over"'s. Classic "amateur" in the best sense of the word. For the love of it.
All of you were great!!! Nattalyee, I love your version of Effie because you made it your own!!!!! Your voice is great it has a somewhat Carribean flair.
the problem i had with this production was that c.c. kept backin off instead of getting mroe and more angry & aggressive. this part is supposed to make effie feel betrayed. but with him retreating...she had the upper hand.
when and where did this production take place? the woman who played effie is flawless..such honesty...you go girl....what a great production from what i can tell. you all should be very proud of yourselves.
This is Effie...thank you for the compliment...It was in Springfield, IL...Jan 11-13 and the 18-20. It was soooo much fun. We did it to commemorate race riot that happened in Springield, IL in 1908. To show how far we as a community have come. IT was amazing!
yea..sorry bout the comments i made, i was a little upset. but i dont know how to delete them.=[ this is accually better now that im really watching it. (and no, im not kissing ass because LAG1586 was mad at me) again im sorry.
yesssssssss nat and lindsay! i dont know the other ones, but u were alll fiiiiierce! nat props! y was the other girl dusty....uknow who i mean. i love the laugh u did across the stage!
I just have to say, that everyone here did an excellent job! I can tell that a lot of hard work went into this, and I wish you all great success in the future. God Bless!
