  • Really I like them both the three girls in the beginning (I don't wanna sound bad by calling them by the white girls :-/) sounded cute and soft which was really great and the dynamites sang it rough which was really good but it also suited there appearances imagine if the first three sang it rough and the dynamites sang it soft and cute it wouldn't fit would it so overall 10 out of 10 because it was really good see yah xxxxxx ps I love it web they go she WAS the new girl in town and they didn't

  • All you guys are argueing over which group sounded better but they both have very different styles of singing the song! The colored girls have a bluesey soul and more attitute and it sounds great BUT the white girls are singing it well too just in a different way!

    so honestly you really can't judge them because they both sing in their own styles and make the song their own!

  • OMG!!! Awesome, the three first girl dance cute :) but the dynamites so Hot i like anyway

  • Why are you all getting mad that people are saying the black women sounded better? They're scripted to sound better. THAT MEANS THEY SOUND BETTER. Otherwise the script would be a fail. Get over it and stop whining!! Some people prefer a more soulful style and some people prefer a different style. You don't have to freak out because someone like black voices over white voices. People like different music. Doesn't mean your dream of supremacy has to be crushed. >.>

  • I think most people need to realise that THESE PERFORMANCE WERE SCRIPTED. It's not about who "was better".

  • Hey look out for that moving van...

  • OMG I just love hairspray

  • Black people sang it sooo much better. rock on

  • they kinda sound like the muses from hercules! :)

  • DIVAness at its best

  • well im in the show at my high school and i play cindy watkins one of them so talk all yu want it dont matter they did it the way the were told to and evreytime you think of someone black yu think of attitude we got more soul and style then others Xane1990

    and maznick89 ur right thats the way its is btw im african american:)!!!

  • It's really pissing me off how just because someone prefers the Caucasion, we're automatically "racist"

  • @LovePeaceErin Hmm there's nothing like a naked caucasian girl in the dark with just a fire going in the fireplace. The glow from the fire hi-lighting her white skin putting slight shadows on her curves.

  • I love the soul the Dynamites bring to it. The exciting and exotic nature to the show. It's amazing :]

  • Around my house its this place called the beverly art center and they have Hairspray and im one of the dynimates

  • I agree , that the "Black Girls" are better , my opinion. But how can you call them african? the one in the middle looks jamacian, the one on the left looks mixed, just call them black. Black is all types .

  • to let yall now its not who sang better b/c their tryin to say that ppl song like that in the day. My chocolate girls did kill it and fine brittney killed it too

  • the black girls and white girls dont sing it tha same and there not meant to

  • the black girls sang better

  • they all sing good it just may be the black girls can sing this song better i like black and white people and white people need to stop being racist towards black

  • @minarox100 you r soo right! u go girl!

  • Now i know where the wondergirls nobody dance got their moves from....

  • i have to say i loved it both ways weather it was black or white it dose not matter

    and saying tht the blacks where better anit gonna solve anything

    and plx get over the black and white verison because this film was made for us to see hw in the 50's + 60's life was plx dont bring it up theres no point its in the past . xx

  • it is a wack argument but the movie was done-yeah partly to show the different voices...but primarly to show how ppl got screwed over by other ppl...back in that day...both were sung nice but thats just how it was...

  • The songs are both sang differently. Stop bringing race into how people sang it better. Jeez. I think both groups sang it really well.

  • Blacks were definately better - but was writen by them so made to suit them better

  • @crazyforwolves

    It was written by a white gay Jew named Marc Shaiman.

  • all yah hattas back off you knoe dam well the blacks got that shit, they sang it way waywaywayway better than the white girls... so watever

  • The black women are doing it in a different style, more bluesey soul, and the white girls are PURPOSLEY doing it straight and 50's. you stupid idiots.

  • no offence but truth must be told and accepted....the black girls sang it better with more attitude

    u can argue all u like but thats the truth and my sistas wether white or black agree

  • @xane1990 I agree with you. HOWEVER, the white girls sang it like 50's on purpose.

  • you dont offend, I have white skin and OBVIOUSLY they're so much better, black people rock

  • Comment removed

  • black people are better singers by genetic default due to their larynxes of steel

  • @sorafsfd not neccisarily, but yes more black people can sing than whites. I'm not trying to be racist so i'll just say many whites can sing better than blacks but there probobly are alot more blacks thta sing really well, (i just reapeted the same thing)

  • black is way better

  • YOU KNOW!

  • i know 100 % percent better!! black gurls kick butt

  • DETshockfan I Totally Disagreee i think the white girls are goood but but the dynamites Rocked So much more there voices are more lyrical and have more of a Beat to the music!.....LOVE HAIRSPRAY BEST FILM EVER!!!

  • dude this is great music ha ha i love it!

  • that middle one is hot, for both versions :-)

  • them blacks girls killed it

    there was no competitions between the dynamites and the white girls

  • So Your Sayin That The Blacks Are Better Than The Whites

  • Because the black girls' rendition IS better than that of the white girls.

  • Comment removed

  • ok, this comment really bugged me, you know why?

    because you say people shouldn't discriminate aganist blacks, and in the same breath use "gay" as a synonym for stupid.

  • Also, lol @ everyone in the comments going "I'M WHITE, BUT I LIKE THE BLACK GIRLS".

    Wtf. It doesn't matter that you're white, nobody cares.

    And also lol @ the people saying that calling people black and white is racist.

  • dudes- racism= soooo not cool

  • so fuckin random LOL

  • Because black people don't try.

    They have better taste then that.

  • hey whites have better taste too....not all of us like country and can we please stop w/ this racism shit

  • Um. It doesn't matter, it's the artist not the race. And if you think it's the race that makes someone sing better, then you better go around and checking every damn person on this planet.

    Also Mr. Steamurz, I'm not a big fan of country, but people have different tastes, so stop adding fuel to the fire.

I SAW THIS AT MY COUSINS HOUSE AND MY COUSIN WAS LIK WHY DID THEY SHRUG AT THE END? speaking of my cousins my 6 year old cousin was walking around saying "its negro day" wherever he went and it became his new catch phrase o.0 (i was lik "jeremy, theres a reason why we tell u to shut up, itc cuz we dont want you to be shot")

    I Love The Movie Lol

    xxx

  • People, take it easy on the racism stuff. People aren't being racist just by saying that "the black girls sing much better than the white girls". They're just making a point its not like theyre bashing anyone personally due to race. Yeah, the Dynamite girls do have way more powerful voices though, but thats the point that they're kind of getting across here, I think.

  • exactly..thats the point they're trying to make

  • I agree 100%.

  • same here

  • hey a whites voice is just as powerful....it just depends on the song the person is singing...is all

  • dumbass how is a white voice just as powerful when you just said it depends onb the voice dumbass...it doesn't depend on the skin

  • Were doing a dance to this at dancing now for showdance

  • I love them!!! I wanna learn to dance like black girls do!!! they're awesome!!!! =D

  • they got this song from dee dee sharp mash potato in 1960

  • I love this version

  • the girls...they look like dreamgirls!! haha

  • that's who they are... Dreamgirls are The Dynamites.. haha

  • oh...lol

  • i love this version i love their voices :D

  • The black girls are Shayna Steele (riffing solo), Kamilah Marshall and Terita Redd. They were the voices and were all in the Broadway company.

  • gdg gd song! i luv dis version!

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LUV THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm white but oh my god black people av so much soul! but saying that..white girls can av soul aswel..bu in this song they sound so much better! LOVE UM :D xx

  • umm.... i know the coment was supposed 2 be nice but it came across a little mean/rasist the way you said "white" and "black" people.

    lol soz

  • No, it really didn't.

    My country, the States, can really irk my pickle with this newfound politically correctness.

    The black girl, or the Dynamites, had far more powerful and stronger voices. You can just feel the strength in their voices. Of course, Britney Snow's version is cute and sweet, I like it as well.

  • well, well, well, u should really be concentrating on der voices not on der colour skin!

  • LOL Half the movie was about skin color and the differences (and similarities) between the races. That's why it had TWO versions of this song. Point blank: Black people and white people have differences. We all know this. Why can't we acknowledge the fact without being called "racist"? At some point America needs to realise that we can all be considered equals, dispite our cultueral and physical differences.

  • that didnt sonund at all racist

    the black people are known for their soul

    and the white people are known for the cute sweet, safe sounds

    I think thats what the movie is trying say that , well back in the 60's

  • Agreed.

    And anyone one can call me a racist, but I think black women are in general the better singers. Well at least all my favortie female singers are mostly black/mixed race.

  • lol oh wow i totally aggreee the best singers that are femals are generally black because they put more soul into their sound while white americans sort of just sing and try to put the soul in it but it just doesn't come out right unless they have tone which they rarely have

  • your the only one with sense here. =)

  • mygod, the dynamites are soooooo much better

    the part when they go faster, my god

    i love that music

  • those girls owned that song

  • i am white and i think that the black girls are so much better !!! i would so rather jam out to them then the white girls !!! :) hahahah who agrees ??

  • I AGREE:)

  • I like this film because it really doesn't matter what you look like...

  • Does it really matter what colour of skin they have?

    If it was the white girls who gave this performance i would enjoy it just as much, honestly close your eyes and listen instead of stating the obvious.

  • So cool!

  • i love this movie a lot!!!!!!!!!!

    XOXO

  • i love how she says "rendez-vous"....

  • I'm white and I think the Dinamites are better. And they look like there having fun!

  • yea im white and i agree the otha gurlz r btr.

    they r mi fav. part of tha song

  • l swear there so much better then the white girls

  • ya I'm white too, and i completely agree. the blew them out of the water

  • i totally agree with 194huskyforlifes comment!!!!

  • wow. This is one of my favourite songs from the movie =]

  • HEY LOOK OUT FOR THAT MOVIN' VAN!
