Song Meanings
Reviews
- If someone's into musicals and Broadway performances, then this album will be a priced gem. It features all of the songs in the highly acclaimed movie plus a generous amount of bonus tracks. Jennifer Hudson showcases yet another great performance in "And I'm Telling...", if not topping Beyonce Knowles, knowing that they both have a soulful voice. While the women wow their audiences, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy surprise them with their own songs. -Vheliefish 02:07, 10 March 2007 (PST)
