Beyonce Wanted Bigger 'Dreamgirls' Role.

Beyonce Wanted Bigger 'Dreamgirls' Role.

Posted by jewelre 623 days ago
Pop star Beyonce Knowles was desperate to land the lead role of Effie in Dreamgirls, but was forced to take a smaller part because the director wasn't convinced she could act.

"I did this because I wanted people to know that I can act and I can play someone so different from myself."

    I wish she would give it up!! She has been in this business for 10yrs and still she is not satisfied. J-Hud played Effie White and she did a good job at it!! Beyonce can not act, I mean look at Fighting Temptations!!! Acting is not her forte! I'm all for J-Hud, do your thing girl!!! You deserved that Oscar! Beyonce, all I have to say is, take some acting lessons and maybe, just maybe you can win an Oscar one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No.Beonce's voice fits today.not the 60's.U have 2 have a certain feel 4 wat ur signging or it won't b right.She can act but she's had her chance 2b famous.Let someone else have a chance.It's also stupid 4 someone sooo skiny 2 play someone sooo big.Even jenifer needed 2 gain weight.The only reason I'm blabing so much is bcause I'm in the play Dreamgirls and the movie cut out alot of scenes and songs.maybe i should shut up...

    naw, Beyonce was definately Deena. No question about it. I don't think it was about the acting, course she's isn't the greatest, but I think it was more her voice type.

    I can't see Beyonce playing the role that Jennifer Hudson played. It fit Hudson way better. Beyonce was better in the role she played.
