She really deserves ALOT more recognition for her immense vocal power! She has an incredible range. She hits G5's and notes like that like it's effortless. She held a C6 for about 4 seconds in a live performance and she was amazing and that too looked effortless! She can sing, act. I wonder if she can dance. I bet she could probably learn dances. She is the perfect and "dream" actress. She is very versatile and could pull off just about any song. She deserves alot more recognition.
So far, what I can see is that Anika has really strong acting and singing chops. Very talented and pretty too. I won't to see her blow up on the big screen and broadway.
Powerful voice, superb arrangement, however she doesn't give us the wonder and the love for dat man. Kind of a bravura performance. Still not even close to Frances Langford, who's performnce is just genius.
I think Beyonce was the best choice as Deena Jones because according to the movie the reason why she was placed as lead singer because of her ability to appeal to a wider audience. As Jamie's character said deena's voice has no personality which is the effect of pop stars like Beyonce.
i think so, in dreamgirls the tiny amounts of solos she did (WHY DID LORELL HAVE SUCH SMALL SINGING PARTS??) were really good listen to her voice in Patience from the dreamgirls soundtrack. it's amazing
OMG, i LOVE this woman! she and Jill Scott should win EMMYs for the HBO mini-series THE NO.1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY! brilliant! Anika Noni Rose is a VERY beautiful, VERY talented ACTRESS! add MAD SMART to that list! on TAVIS SMILEY last night, she represented herself so well in the things she said things about Botswana (the show's setting) - and Africa in general - that makes me know she is both GENIUS and QUEEN in one (did i say BEAUTIFUL) package!
Wow, I thought I was one of the only one to watch No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. It is such a wonderful show. I have been intrigued by Botswana. Much props to Jill and Anika.
she wasn't a tony awards winner. she wasn't even nominated for best actress in a musical when she was in caroline or change. Idina Menzel was the one who won the tony that year!
my mom knows her they were best friends untill she used my mom to get to my uncle. but i have to give her props because she came from a dark pass and she pulled threw and now she is famous. wish her good luck.
i 1st heard her in dreamgirls, and was blown away by her voice in patience. teh recording and the live version at the oscars. and i have been lookisng for another performance of her singing. and i loved this! she has an amazing instrument, in dreamgirls she sounded so soulful like a motwn singer of that era, and here she sounds so technical like the broadway singer she is. i can't wait to hear her in the princess and the frog (and i'm a damn near grown man lol)
SHE IS GOOD. I never knew she could sing like this. I'm really into this. I almost forgot who I was listening to and I'm rocking like it's a song on the radio (lol)
don't diss disney they was planing on doin a animted film of Aida back in the early 90's look up the story (by Giuseppe Verdi) but the idea was droped and they made a broadway version of it but they are thinkin of doin a film of it agian hopefully they make it animated,tiana stunning (looks like anika) maybe pretty than stunning ariel disney gives tiana and fairy Iridessa natural hair childern watches these and they don't have relaxed styled beyonce type hair so well done to them.
i can totally see why they picked her out of the famous other people that wanted to play her she has a great voice and accent for disney movies it would be crap if they picked some girl with that sterotype getto accent and voice Anika doesn't have that and thats why she got it shes totally desrves it love her voice can't wait to hear the songs it looks like it gonna be gr8.
Omg reason I came here!! Tiana is going to sound fantastic. I already love her speaking voice imagine her singing voice. I think she will be the best singing princess next to Aurora, for Aurora they used Yma Sumac, peruvian singing icon.
I like this rendition, don't get me wrong, but I don't like when people sing this an octave down. We sopranos get so few fun songs, let us have this one. :(
she should have got more of a lead role in dreamgirls everybody knew beyonce and jennifer hudson could sing but i really didnt know too much about her til now
It was the Oscars. When they did the medley of songs and sang each other's parts. Especially near the end, she hits a note that it is unbelievable. It's probably on youtube somewhere
she's an amazing actress. I watched her in Caroline or Change and then Dreamgirls. She's spectacular. Her singing isn't the best I've heard, but her emotional arc with songs is. She's a phenomenal performer, and a good singer.
I completely agree. I think that those two girls are fantastically talented. I really do not want Fantasia to play Celie or Beyonce to play Aida (even though I do think that Beyonce is very talented, just not for that role)
Completely agree with both. Fantasia isn't awful as Celie, but she's nothing compared to the other two...and Beyonce is incredibly talented but her voice is more of a pretty voice than a commanding, strong voice that Aida needs.... She's a Deena, not an Effie.
That being said, I do NOT think JHud should be Aida.
Or how about the woman who originated Celie on Broadway, LaChanze? She deserves it..Jeanette is brilliant though. I would love Anika but she's too light for the role of Celie...Celie specifically meant for a dark skinned woman hint the women that have played Celie.
As to her singing, dude, you are DREAMING if you think Beyonce could sing like this, live, without a bunch of backup singers covering her mistakes. Beyonce has a fine voice for studio work and she can dance and she's hot, but she does *not* have the vocal chops of any random swing cast member on Broadway, let alone a Tony-winner like Anika here.
Man, I'm seeing two things in this comment thread that are just astonishing me:
1. Some people think Anika Noni Rose is not beautiful.
2. Some people think Beyonce's singing could ever compare in a million trillion years to Anika Noni Rose's singing.
Anika Noni Rose has about the most beautiful facial structure I've ever seen. You seriously need to look at a better photo than this - check her out in the Lorrell Loves Jimmy scene in Dreamgirls, frex.
that's your perception and i respect it, but i disagree. i think at first glance she may look somewhat attractive, but when you really examine her features she's not so attractive. as for her singing better then beyonce, i don't know. you sound like a beyonce hater so you'd probably say a seal could sing better then her. LMFAO
she has so much training that it's not even funny. she's gonna go far. she's better than any random r&b singer. she has classical training, a MUST if you wanna be successful and have a long career.
Im amazed at her voice she needed more recognition for her role in dreamgirls seems like she kindof got left in the shadows and thts not fair one bit.
I think that she has a great voice, but to compare it to Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson, is unfair because her voice is trained for a more broadway sound. Everyone has a different voice type, that is what makes them unique. So saying that she is better than Beyonce or Jennifer H. is unfair.

nobody can say this bitch can't sing, she sings very well. she may not be nearly as attractive as beyonce, but she can sing just as good if not better.
i agree....this is a different style of singing....this is not my fav. type of music....but i know that she sung this song beautifully...i like her voice.

nobody can say this bitch can't sing, she sings very well. she may not be nearly as attractive as beyonce, but she can sing just as good if not better.

I don't like her voice. I love Beyonce's and Jennifer Hudsons though.

thats probably because of the style of singing and this particular song...i think she pulled it off better than Beyonce or Hudson could have...
