  • It's so hard to believe that Whitney is gone ;-(

  • I hate to say it but BEYONCE IS SISTA... Because the roll requires attitude and crazy sex appeal B has it that hands down. You cant tell me that Beyonce didnt come to mind when the were singing "JUMP" and Sista came out and danced.lol But it will be interesting to see this Carmen Ejogo does.

  • Monica should be the lead

  • This scene still brings a tear to my eye to this day

  • People Jordin is doing a remake of this movie. Hopefully she does as good as Irene did in this movie. She can sing so i think she'll do well and with Whitney Houston in it she will have a teacher on set too.

  • every time i hear this i get chills she sung the mess out of this song and took it to church. what home going song to sing.

  • @kyasst Dang you said things that were inaccurate.

  • don't worry guys its NOT Beyonce, But unfortunently they are remaking this timeless movie with Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks as sparkle.

  • @breezyd07 Jordin Sparks don't look like a Sparkle. I never seen her act before

  • mom always said never trust a niga with a perm and a colgate smile... they are all ways rats..... sista should have heeded to moma's words

  • Why people always mention beyonce. I like Beyonce but don't give her every role. She's not that good of an actress. Plus there are alot of actresses who can play the role but not B. I don't mind there being a remake but lately everything has been remade. Someone should just come up with an original movie and make that a classic.

  • @kyasst

    Carmen Ejojo is playing Sister.....not Paula Patton. Derek Luke is playing Stix.

  • luv luv luv haters hate

  • PUFFY TO PLAY SATIN ....HE WOULD BE GOOD AT THAT

  • @kellytv777....hahahahah.. wow!

  • yes .....its such a classic i am ready for the remake..I AM READY FOR THE REMAKE....BUT THE PERSON TO PLAY SPARKEL IS DEAD...ALLIYAH

  • This reminds me of the funeral scene in the movie Imitation of Life. Both of them will have you crying your eyes out.

  • one of my favorites between this and flash dance Irene Cara never had to work again..... it is what it is....how many can say that?

  • BLACK GRESSY NIGGA, mary alice told sista he was a rat..

  • SANG IRENE!!!!

  • Classic....agree with palkia400. Leave it alone. There is no one in the music industry today that can pull this off.

  • @dumbthings1970 No one in the music industry? No one that is popular in the music industry. You don't know who else is out there.

  • @a999op Actually I do know who is out there. My work is in the music industry.....there is alot of talent that is not being heard or seen, but there are some films that need to be left alone and this is one of them. Hollywood needs to come up with some new ideas and stop rehasing 70's and 80's classics.

  • TIMELESS NEVER CAN BE DUPLICATED IRENE CARA SPIN ON THOMAS DORSEY PRECIOUS LORD I STILL GET GOOSE PIMPLES I WAS A TEEN WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME SISTERS WAS SINGER NOT THIS FAKE PERFORMANCE SUBSTANDARD AT BEST

  • what happened to sparkle?

  • This is the saddest part of the movie! I don't think I could ever sing at any of my brother or sisters funerals! It's hard enough to say a poem, without falling apart! God bless you if you can do it!

  • Aaliyah was sopose to play sparkle,right before she passed rip baby girl.. thats why she recoreded Donny Hathleways song.(sorry if i spelled that wrong).

  • @ my granfather's funeral sum1 sung this song, nd all I culd think about was this scene. I hav nvr heard any1 sing this song like Irene Cara.....

  • Perfect! If they were to do a remake cant nobody sing like this! sooooo DONT REMAKE!

  • This movie better NOT be remade! IDGAF who they would cast. It aint broke so dont fix it

  • @bmrcutiepie WOOOOO!! That's right!!! I feel you!!

  • Irene tore this song up!

  • No Beyonce,No Remake!!!

  • Let me make it clear, there will be no remakes of this classic movies. If we have to keep writing to make sure it does not happen we will. There are no, and I want to emphasize, no actors or actresses who can even come close to the actors and actresses in this move. It is a wonderful movie, do not mess with it, make over hell no. Leave it alone. Sparkle must remain a classic movie.

  • This is the best movie ever made!!!

  • sing it , loved this movie omg all the memories

  • this movie is sooo good nobody cant remake this who could sing like her and da sisters

  • This song tears me up every time...

  • I dont think they should do a remake no one could possibly compare to Irene or lonette... but if they was to redo it they should get Melonie Fiona to play sparkle, fantasia as the middle sister and Alicia keys as sister

  • I dont think they should do a remake no one could possibly compare to Irene or lonette... but if they was to redo it they should get Melonie Fiona to play sparkle, fantasia as the middle sister and Alicia keys as sister

  • @92mysterious i agree, but we all know ms "i gotta be the center of attention at all times" beyonce would have to have a part in it. lol not saying she doesnt have talent, she just screams to much lol

  • SPARKLE IS ON RIGHT NOW ON TV ONE. IRENE SUNG THIS SONG. IRENE AND LONETTE BOTH CAN SING.

  • I used to love when the sista(s) in the choir would hit those high notes like that. Bone chilling.

  • I remember being 8 years old watching this movie over and over again until the tape popped I loved it then and i still watch it today at 31 just now on dvd this is a classic and no one will ever be able to do it better leave it alone...

  • Irene Cara can sang!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God is good! I needed this song and you had it available! Thanks!

  • This movie cannot be re-made. Ashanti cannot play Soparkle and Beyonce or Alicia keys cannot play Sister. Stop it!

  • My favorite gospel song, and my favorite rendition. Sparkle is singing her heart out.

  • you can't remake this. what you gonna do, get beyonce, alicia keys, and ashanti? stop playin. i know years back they were tossin raven symone's name around, but i dont see her either.

  • @pointhimout Aaliyah was going to star in the remake and it would have been great. I'm glad that they chose not to redo it after she passed because Beyonce Ashanti would not been great for this movie

  • @pointhimout those are exactly who I would pick going by looks lol but ashanti or beyonce are no sparkle voice wise .....

  • was that the nigga from miami vice sitting there?

  • Anyone who knows me knows that this is my one and only favorite movie of all times. I even expressed to my mom when I was a child that if I passed before she does I want this scene to be played at my funeral, in Irene Cara's own voice. She really SANGED THIS SONG! On another note, Does anyone know where can get this movie on DVD?

  • MY FAVORITE SONG AND MY FURNEAL SONG

  • ...if i'm not mistaken sparkle is the reason "dreamgirls" was made. this movie came out first, dreamgirls came out in 1981...one of the characters was even named effie and therefore since dreamgirls has already been re-made is been done...lol

  • Irene Cara vocals are amazing.

  • Please folks quit naming Beyonce for every black female role, and she's not that good of an actress, matter of fact she hasn't grown that much as an actress from her first film (I'll let Cadillac Records slide, but it was revoked when Obsessed came out). I think Sparkle doesn't need to be remade, but if it is, please don't Beyonce in it.

  • THANK YOU! Good to know I'm not the only who thinks Beyonce is overrated. And it's not about that "hating" crap either. I feel Beyonce is a mediocre actress at best.

  • @honeycone71 No, it's not about hating at all. I think she's a talented artists, but what her fans and stans need to realize is that she is not the best of everything. And that damn sure is the case with her acting. Every singer/rapper I've seen that's gone into acting has grown over the years with experience. She's the only one that hasn't grown. That's why I'm so sick of her name being thrown around for movie roles.

  • @hellokittycutie2003 Beyonce has absolutely NO acting chops!! I agree with you!!

  • 1:50 to the end!!! if you cant feel the pain you cant feel nothing

  • I remember seeing as a child for the first time' WOW! it was one of the first movie's i got on dvd...xo

  • I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. I remember my mom telling me when I saw this movie, don't ever become Sista. I love this movie, I really need to get it on dvd. And Irene Cara sang the hell out of this, I especially love towards the end of the song. I wish I had a voice like this.

  • Irene Carol is a great singer and Actor

  • my fav movie ever

  • Sparkle is one of my all time favorite movies!

  • @Nesnatae Yes it is

  • I've never see this movie what is it about?

  • @MrSexxxy20 Brah go rent this movie it's a great movie I mean it's about dreams and sticking to them, the fast life etc.

  • @MrSexxxy20 it's about a girl group is formed but there's only one left standing at the end

  • i don't think any artist out right now can blow like she can and act like she can. you feel her pain in this song. some classics don't need to be remade.

  • @dona4reak

    You are right, some classic cant be remade. Hey if it was ever a remake do u think Keyshia Cole can play Sparkle? I mean they do look alike almost & both of them can sing! Do anyone else think so?

  • @dona4reak What about Raven-Symone or Jordin Sparks?

  • Maybe Jordin but i don't know about her acting, Raven is cute but no.

  • Everything about this movie was great, I was there in the 70's, if you rent this movie look to see how many people went on the be well known or really famous, that's for this post.........

  • There shouldn't be a remake of this film. No one could do this film justice. I would not want to see Beyonce's fat ass stanking the movie up and even though Aaliyah may have been light skinned enough to play Sista, she didn't have the acting chops either...real talk!

  • @MsMisha81 i agree beyonce will just embarass herself

  • Luv Irene Cara the lady was bad, not too many people have literally back to back Oscar's for songs, Fame & Flashdance. If you really wanna hear her buy here music/cd's I am sure it is on Amazon.

  • @TheFinanceDiva That's true

  • In memory of Tyler Perry's mother my prayers go out to him and his family

  • There was supposed to be a remake with aaliyah

  • Love this movie, Love her singing it send chills up my body... I wish I could have her singing all these songs on a CD.

  • What is this film about and how many years ago is it please let me know it seems interesting

  • this film is really really good its better than dream girls its called sparkle you shud check it out

  • @silentbliss it was sort of a version of dreamgirls came out in 1976 you can rent it on dvd i've always wondered why no one remade it

  • This is perfect as it is. Classics should never be refilmed, all of those remakes always just suck ass in comparison. And best music was made in seventies so what value would todays interpretation bring anyways?

  • passion and soul....what happened?

  • Irene Cara sang the heck out of this song. Sing it girl. Represent

  • ya'll know that aaliyah was to play sister in the new verison of Sparkle...but she died....its like damn....that wat have been a good movie

  • because it was a better soundtrack/album with the queen doing it! hands down!! I was there..

  • Does anyone know why the Soundtrack was released bt Aretha Franklin instead of The Original Singers....I like Irene, Lonnette versions of these songs so much better than Aretha screaming them out!

  • People People PLEASE get off of that remake mess okay.This movie don't need to be remade.This came out when I was 9 and Im now 42 this movie is timeless.Leave it ALONE.Stop trying to do it again.There is NO ONE in music that can do it like these girls

  • @palkia400 The movie was going to be remade with Aaliayah playing the lead role and Christian Payton playing Thomas' role. Murder Inc tried to recreate it with Ashanti but was given the Red Light I'm so glad. If Aaliyah was alive she would have done a good job

  • @palkia400 this movie WAS remade...it's called Dreamgirls lol

  • @palkia400 LOL, they're still going to remake it. It'll be horrible too.

  • @palkia400: Amen, no remake of this movie. We like it as it is, the best performance ever by ALL the actors and actresses. They cannot be surpassed. Leave this movie alone, no remakes. It is a classic. Let it remain that way.

  • @palkia400 Well said.

  • @palkia400 IT WOULD BE NICE...

  • @palkia400

    too late the remake is out :(

  • Very good singer and very good actress. I wish i would have seen her in more movies

  • yes she is very. I got chills also and I love how you can hear the passion in her voice

  • Alicia Keys would make the perfect person for a sparkle remake!

  • Go Irene! I love you. Hope you're good whatever you are doing now!

  • This part made me so sad!!! I wish they would redo this movie...even though nothing can compare to the original!

  • Noooooooooo remakes!!!

  • I would love to see alicia keys play irene in sparkles I don't think anyone else could feel the shoes of this character

  • irene gave me chills singing this song she is vocally gifted

  • love this movie!

  • irene sang the hell out of that

  • this make me cry

  • sister is not dead

  • This is my FAVORITE scene in the movie. Irene Cara sings with so much passion. I love traditional gospel music. It just shows what can really happen when you get caught up & the love SPARKLE had 4 her SISTER!

  • This movie made me and all my friends want to be singers back in the day. To this day, I have never seen anyone as beautiful as Lonette McKee who plays Sista. This woman made it hard for a lot of darkskin women, because her look was so obviously due to race-mixing. I can't lie, I believed at the time that only mix-black like Lonette was really beautiful. I grew out of that, but there is still something undeniably gorgeous about Sista's look. She was probably vain though being so gorgeous.

  • I don't think that Alicia Keys could sing that part....they shouldn't reamke the movie at all

  • i agree with you....don't listen to sisleytysom. that's why she has those 3 thumbs down next to her comment!! they need to leave this movie alone. alicia can sing, but she can't tie irene cara's shoelaces!!!

  • I couldn't agree more with you too. It is asking too much for someone these days to come with an original idea that could be a classic someday in its own right?? The only positive that comes from a "Sparkle" remake is that it will some well-deserved attention back to the original. Really too bad that we don't hear from Irene anymore...gorgeous girl, gorgeous voice.

  • true, used to love her on the show fame.

  • I tell you, that girl can sing her lil ass off. Love her.

    NO LYPSYNCING, just pure raw vocal talent you're listening to.

    WHOEVER they pic for the remake of Sparkle (if it ever happens) has got some big ass shoes to fill.

    i love this girl. wasn't she was also in "Roots''? i think she was. what the heck is her name dag-gummit!!!

  • sparkle is played by irene cara. she was in the movie fame and i believe she was in roots also :)

  • ALicia Keys DEFINITEly Could Play the role of Sister in a remake, I agree!

  • u know a while back when they were first starting the idea of remaking Sparkle, one of the first girls they were talking to for playing the role of 'Sparkle' was Aaliyah.

    After her accident, it took a few years until they re-opened the idea of remaking Sparkle having Raven Symone playing her, but she got too big.

    But i think the best face of Sparkle is Jordin Sparks, if she just lost a couple pounds, she'd have it quick as a flash

  • cause her man kept beating her up and she was unhappy plus she was on drugs

  • i really cant wait for the remake. i would love to see beyonce or alica keys play sister and fantasia for the middle child deloris and i still cant think of any one to play sparkle yet

  • Don't go there!! LOL!!!

  • im tellin u beyonce can play sister and alica keys can play sparkle and fantasia can play deloris a good line up

  • That was a ugly ass woman sittin next to her mother @ 2:09

  • rotf lol

  • Who, Mrs Waters?

  • SHE TOOK A OVER DOSE

  • Why come she do dat?

  • what happen to her

  • When I first seen this movie I turned off my phone because I wanted to be all in it and I had tears coming out of my eyes for real, This is a excellent this part of the movie made me cry

  • That girl sings from her soul.

  • She has the beeessssstttt voice

  • i actually said this but i didnt realize my brother was signed in....

  • Great song. Sangggggggggggg it.....

  • can't nobody sing it like Irene

  • I have been looking for this version, I love Irene Cara.

  • I always loved and felt the emotion and passion she sung this song with.

  • sing girl!
