    You did it this week, (iriegal standing and applauding your choices!)....whew, took me back with "Sparkle." That movie could of parelled some of the mistakes I have made in my life..

    I loved the fact you actually got 3 songs from the soundtrack in there. Of course Jennifer goes without saying (deamgirls), that scene from the color purple lists as one of the most memorable. again great choices!

    I remember that scene from The Color Purple. "Even sinners have soul." Amen!

    Jennifer Hudson is a powerhouse!

    Great choices; i especially like the CP selection!

    Girl one day we are gonna have to sit down and chat face to face!! I posted CP also and had Sparkle for my Black 70's pick and then changed it to Claudine!
    J. Hud did a tremendous job, I am partial to J. Holiday but baby girl did her thang!
    Great choices!
    Happy OSF!

    Really great choices...I get chills everytime I hear "Shug" sing that song. Happy OSF! Enyoy your weekend.

    That scene from Color Purple is one of my favorites of the movie.
    I have to get the movie Sparkle. I haven't seen that in years. I mean years.
  • invisiblewoman · 1 year ago
    I absolutely adore the Sparkle soundtrack.

    I did not know this week's theme was soundtracks until after I posted mine (I inserted the first sentence afterward). How ironic I chose something else, haha I didn't get the memo...

    Happy OSF and great, great choices. Not sure how old school J.Hudson is though.

    I know absolutely NOTHING about the first two videos, but I am familiar with Jennifer's rendition of "I'm Telling You"! When I watched that video I found myself laughing thinking about that boy that went on 'American Idol' and botched that song up...geez, it was too funny!
  • Eb the Celeb · 1 year ago
    yes... the ones from Color Purple and Sparkle are classic in my book

    HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MARVA!

    Hey, you! I hope your Mother's Day is going well and is blessed.

    I started a new meme entitled Sunday Inspirations. Hope you get a chance to drop by SjP's soon and that you'll be inspired to participate.

    Have a good one! SjP

    Excellent choices this week. You are probably schooling some folks on where En Vogue's video/remake emerged from. True tear jerker scene from CP, especially for those with Daddy issues. And dare I say that JHud's version dared to touch JHoliday's. :shock:

    Wait, did someone say they didn't know anything about the first video?! *faints*

    Okay, I've been revived.

    Hope you had a great Mother's Day.

    V - I totally ignored the comment that they didn't know the first vid...otherwise I would have "fainted" too!

    Thanks for the Mother's Day wish...it was good!
