Podcast appearances and mentions of effie white

En av Sveriges mest hyllade soulröster! Möt härliga Laila Adèle, en mångsidig artist med över två decennier i branschen! Hon har bakgrund som dansare, och signades till BMG som 19-åring, tävlade i Melodifestivalen år 2006 och har sedan dess byggt en karriär inom musikalvärlden - där hennes autenticitet och passion får styra. Laila är aktuell i Dreamgirls, som är hennes tolfte musikal, där hon äntligen får spela sin drömroll som Effie White. Laila delar ärligt med sig av resan – från att balansera artisteriet med familjeliv, till att prioritera äkthet framför kändisskap. Vi pratar om tuffa auditions, vikten av att hitta sitt ”varför” samt hur återhämtning och glädje är avgörande för en lång karriär. Lyssna nu! Hosted on Acast.

Continuing their conversations about films featuring Best Supporting Acting Oscar winning performances, Madeline, Julian and Emilio dive into a film they had yet to see: 'Dreamgirls', the 2006 film adaptation of the Broadway musical, starring Jamie Foxx, Beyonce, Anika Noni Rose, Danny Glover, and Jennifer Hudson, whose portrayal of Effie White earned her an Academy Award in her film debut.  The group gets into its status as a "film a clef" with many references to Motown history and associated artists, the unstable foundation (narratively speaking) upon which "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" sits, as well as that song's undeniable power.  They dig into the 2007 Oscars win (and snub) that is a huge part of this film's legacy, Beyonce's irrepressible voice, the distracting brief appearance of John Krasinski (looking way too much like Jim Halpert), other possible directors who could have brought this musical to the screen, and so much more!  If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok (yes, it's apparently still a thing): @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Last week, we told the story of EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson. Hudson put the O in EGOT when she won the Oscar for her role as Effie White in Dreamgirls. It's said Dreamgirls is based on the story of The Supremes – Deena as Diana Ross, Effie as Florence Ballard. And in researching that episode, we discovered it wasn't just Jennifer Hudson who had a rejection story – The Supremes had a fascinating journey of their own. So, join us this week as we discover how the glamour girls of Motown went from the “No-Hit Supremes” to the female group with the most #1 songs in history on the Billboard Hot 100.Get to know Apostrophe:InstagramTwitterThreadsYouTube Hosted on Acast.

“And I am telling you, I'm not going,” a young Effie White once said. And let's be real, we've all been dream girls, tethered to relationships way past their expiration date. This week, Jennifer, Taylor and Cheryle talk about why they stayed in relationships that weren't working, why they eventually left, and new approaches to dating that shake things up. Then Jennifer talks with Tennesha Wood, matchmaker and founder of The Broom List, a matchmaking firm that serves Black, marriage-seeking professionals. She shares her personal love story, sheds light on why we stay in dysfunction, and tells us what your dating app profile reveals about you. If you've been waiting to exhale, then shoop shoop.

Enter the Belters. As we continue look at vocal showpieces, we move into the 1980s to look at Dreamgirls and Jennifer Holliday's extraordinary performance of "And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going." 40 years after it debuted on Broadway, this song is still synonymous both with Holliday and with singers who want to show they can be big and soulful. Even if they can't. All clips are from the 1982 Original Broadway Cast Album with Jennifer Holliday as Effie White and are used in accordance with the Fair Use Exemption for criticism and commentary.

bravooOMG! This episode hit for me on ALL levels! Join me and Zack AKA BRAVOOOMG as we Zoom down pop culture/real life/housewives memory lane and I talk about Mary Cosby and the tea her uncle/stepson "S" spilled about the family in an interview. But first, in real time, we talk about the fraudulent hate account that stole his profile pic and pretty much copied his Insta name (please go report it), how a certain dragging brought us together to create a friendship for the ages and we talk about the world of content and appreciating content creators and the time and effort they take to create (looking at you Erika Jayne) and the 3 housewives who reposted his memes and the ONE who gave him credit. Speaking of content, we briefly touch on Bravo's Chat Room and how the hosts mesh. Then we hop onto memory lane and talk the movie Dream Girls and Zack names the former housewife couple that is Effie White personified and the current housewife who is the real life version of the Dream Girls soundtrack song, Listen. After which, we throw our Zoom kiki in reverse and go a little further in the past where Zack shares how he was bullied for being Jewish and how his school administration essentially faulted him and I share the first time I felt the difference of my skin color, in a non positive way. We decide to lighten the mood and we talk RHOA and the peach cobbler (a plastic shield and a tongue), the RHOA housewife that is heard but not seen, RHOA and Monique and Candiace (they brought me and Zack together in the DM's), the RHOP reunion and what could be Gizelle AKA Gizzy's reckoning and the importance of using your voice to go and vote (this episode was supposed to be out election day but due to tech issues was a day behind-so we hope you voted!)This episode will make you LOL and say bravooOMG!

Jennifer Hudson sings her way to an Oscar (and acts her way to, hopefully, an acting class)as Effie White in 2006's "Dreamgirls." In a rare example of Best Supporting Singer, Hudson wins it fair and square for nailing "And I Am Telling You," but at the end of the day, we're Blanchett Gays at Best Supporting Podcast, so we spend plenty of time celebrating Cate's nominated performance in "Notes on a Scandal." We also fantasize about Fantasia Barrino, make up our minds on Laura Dern in "Marriage Story," find the whistletones in Jennifer Lopez's nomination for "Hustlers," get a double dose of Toni Collette appreciation in "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Knives Out" and fall fully in love with Ana de Armas. Plus: Diane Keaton at her best, Annette Bening in a garden and the openings on Broadway we'd love to go back and experience for one night only. Follow us!

The Album: The Dreamgirls soundtrack (2006) Former LA Times Editor and Out Magazine's Director of Culture and Entertainment Tre'vell Anderson, joined us to talk Jennifer Hudson and the Dreamgirls OST. Dreamgirls won two Academy Awards - one for Best Sound Mixing, the other, Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Hudson's star-making portrayal of Effie White. The single disc-version of the soundtrack spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album. One of the songs, "Love You I Do" won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture or Television. The soundtrack, a certified banger, and Tre'vell's personal heat rock, was certified platinum. A fan of Jennifer Hudson's since American Idol Season 3 (his favorite), the film and soundtrack resonated with him because of the all too familiar narrative of the most talented person in the room having to contend with implicit bias preventing them from living their best life. We talked about the glory of Jennifer's journey from losing American Idol to winning at the Oscars, the difference between singers and sangers, Detroit vs. Chicago as a backdrop for the film, and what it sounds like when a Cadillac commercial get's "Pat Booned" (an Oliver Wang original saying). Why did the film propel Jennifer Hudson to the stardom possibly meant for Beyonce (AT THAT TIME). Who knew Eddie Murphy had this sort of vocal range? Who's version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" was better: the original J.H. or the new J.H.? Tre'vell helped us answer those questions and more!

Marisha Wallace is currently playing Effie White in the West End production of Dreamgirls. We had a chat in her dressing room at the Savoy Theatre about her work on Broadway, bringing the show to London and the moment she first performed And I Am Telling You on the West End stage. Marisha also told me why she thinks Playbills should be introduced in London so audiences know who they’re seeing on stage without having to pay for a programme. You can catch her in the show until it closes on 12th January 2019. Thanks to Lewis Jenkins for making this one happen.

Marisha Wallace was born and raised in small town North Carolina but the small town never held down her big city dreams. After a year of touring with The Book of Mormon she made her Broadway debut and was cast as the Fortune Teller in the original Broadway company of Disney’s Aladdin. Eventually she opened another Casey Nicolaw classic, Something Rotten, before heading to the Denver Center to take on the role of Effie White in Dreamgirls. Not too long after, London called and now she’s starring in the West End production of Dreamgirls as Effie White. Hosted by: Matt Rodin, Beth Stevens, Caitlyn Gallip

We discuss The Dreams, the girl group in the movie Dreamgirls. We specifically are discussing Effie White and her mistreatment at the hands of their manager, Curtis

This week we welcome our own little English Muffin, Nathan Jones, as we discuss why Scotland is the Effie White of Europe, why you have to be nonjudgmental if you're going to get a snack at Megan's house at two in the morning, and why you are taking a major risk if you're going to have a money dance at your wedding. #prayersforrio
