OlderBeyonce Performing “Listen” on ‘Oprah’
The stars of Dreamgirls stopped by The Oprah Winfrey Show today! Beyonce performed “Listen” from the movie’s soundtrack. Before singing, Beyonce introduced the song: “”This is the moment where Deena finally finds her voice. The whole movie she’s been manipulated and she’s kind of lost her own opinions. I think a lot of women can relate to the lyrics.” Watch the video of Beyonce performing “Listen” below! Dreamgirls is out in theaters this Christmas!
Beyonce on kissing Jamie Foxx: “I wasn’t nervous when I had to kiss Jamie. I’ve done onscreen kisses before, and every time it makes you a little uncomfortable. I’m a singer first, so I still have to get used to that. But he was very professional, and I had to look at it as Deena kissing Curtis.” Jamie joked, “Yes, that’s the way I looked at it, too… And I see your parents [in the audience]. I see your father out there!”
The cast: Beyonce (Deena Jones), Jamie Foxx (Curtis Taylor Jr.), Jennifer Hudson (Effie White), Anika Noni Rose (Lorrell Robinson), and Eddie Murphy (James ‘Thunder’ Early).

next please.
Thanks Just Jared. I saw this on Oprah. Beyonce was good. I was hoping that Jennifer Hudson would sing also. Jennifer Hudson is awesome and when people hear her sing “I am telling you” shivers will go down their spine. I am looking forward to this Movie. Keep up the good work Just Jared.
I’m sorry but Oprah ANNOYS THE **** out of me!!!
I think Beyonce is so pretty, but I can’t stand her singing voice. I think she’s mad gorgeous, but that voice bugs me. Oprah is looking tight!
Beyonce looked lovely. In fact all of the women did. Oprah looked really tired, though. Her makeup was “off.” Maybe her guy Reggie is on vacation or something.
I didn’t think Eddie would have the nerve to appear. I can’t get the “transexual” thing out of my mind. Everytime I see him now, I imagine he is on the down-low. He had such a nice-looking wife and family. Now he’s with Scary Spice. Truly scary.
I am more excited about Jennifer Hudson than I am about Beyonce. I am also thrilled that Jennifer is getting major buzz over this movie and I hope she bolsters an Oscar nom.
Was it just me or did Beyonce look like she drank a big glass of hateraid when Oprah was goin on about Jennifer’s performance and singing abilities.
I’m looking forward to this movie. I seen the play a long time ago, and loved it. I’m not a fan of Beyonce’s acting but she can sing.
Eddie is not a bad actor and neither is Jamie, so the movie should be pretty decent.
Since this was taped on Friday, looks like Jamie Foxx would rather spend time with Oprah vs. Tom.
Only blacks present. Racist.
What’s wrong with Miss O in the main pic ???
LOL :D
Why is she so overdressed. Though she sounds awesome, not even like herself really…
Jennifer Hudson is the one to look out for. I like Beyonce, but girlfriend looked a little peeved that she was not getting the Oscar buzz. I remember when Jennifer was on American Idol, Simon was quite cruel to her. However, he was taking credit for her success on Oprah.
I can’t wait to see Jennifer and Eddie’s perfromance in this. I feel though that this film is coming out about 5 years too late. It’s should have been before Moulin Rouge and Chicago. There’s a whole generation of people who say huh? when you say “Dreamgirls” It was a Broadway show that mostly New Yorkers only saw and that was about 25 years ago. They should have a revival on Broadway cuz that’s where it belongs.
Oh no! Renee girl, you are so crazy! She had the people from the play on the show and the play is about some Black people….I love the way people throw the term “racist” around….”Look, it’s the Temptations, all Black! Racist” ..”Why were there no White people in Jackson Five?? Racist!! That’s why!!” Why don’t you go and read a book, about South Africa 50 years ago, or the USA in the 20’s and 30’s?
Get a grip! Oprah has everybody on the show, she had all the people from “Friends” on there, “Sienfeld” and the people from “Everybody Loves Raymond” not a Black person among them….was this racist?? You must be a 12 yr old leaving in a one stoplight town outside of ColdWater, Mississippi….oops sorry, that was racist! My bad!
I watched the whole show and I thought it was great. Jennifer Hudson got her due props. I can’t wait til the movie comes out. I hope she’s nominated for an oscar. However, on the other hand I find it very interesting how America delibertly looks over the fact that Beyonce Knowles cannot put a sentence together. The girl is extremely beautiful and has a wonderful voice but she’s a ditz. Who say’s looks can’t buy you everything?!
While I agree with what blkhoney88 said wholeheartedly, please remember. Not all people who live in Mississippi or the South are racist. If you want proof of the widespread racism in the North, just look at most football and athletic rosters on high school teams. You will be hard pressed to find a lot of minorities. Other than that, I LOVE OPRAH!
blkhoney, why is your handle blkhoney? what does black have to do w/ who you are? I live in Houston, Texas, one of the most racially diverse cities in the US. We welcomed hurricane victims, black, white, and Vietnamese from Mississippi and Louisiana after the hurricanes. My adopted son black, so don’t throw down on me. We have the largest Asian population outside of San Francisco. Hispanics are the majority in Texas. We love our diversity, so don’t throw down on someone you don’t know. I think the play should include people of all races, as should Oprah’s guest list.
When people segregate themselves it’s easier to attack them.
Just sayin.
Besides black people are like 12% of the US. Ask someone in Europe and they’ll guess it’s 50/50. Point? Any negativity is at least in some way deserved because by excluding others you tend to piss people off regardless of the morality of your intent. Black people need to stop identifying themselves as black and start recognizing people as people. Pride insinuates superiority. Oprah has way too much pride.
This movie is about black people, in fact loosly based off of a real black group that some of you may have heard of, The Supremes. So whats the big deal? I honestly dont get what your point is. What exactly would you have blacks identify themselves as and who’s being excluded? Last time I checked Oprah’s audience consisted of a wide range of races, age groups, sexes, etc. it really is rediculous how people put a completely different spin on things that are as clear as day. Great performance by Beyonce, by the way.
stanley you’re a genius. only black people identify themselves as black instead of people. every where you go, no one else identifies with a country, race, ethnic group, or religion. they are just PEOPLE and they all get along.
black people get with the program. maybe then, you’ll get along with everyone else.
STANLEY, YOU ARE AN *******!
I only have a problem with the fact that everyone thinks that Beyonce HAS to be the main attraction at EVERY event!!! Yes, Jennifer Hudson should have performed and probably would have brought the house down with her performance!!!! But, what can you do??? I just hope she (Jennifer) gets her moment to shine and let her true talent come through……..
What’s the weather like up your own a$$ Sheryl you racially biased fukwit.
If the topic weren’t black people (topic as was assigned by the other racially biased and equally stupid blkhny) then maybe I would have addressed others racial biases.
Black people should identify themselves as people.
You should identify yourself as a douchebag and/or ******. Thanks for playing.
Oh btw, sarcasm is widely accepted as the last resort of the slow witted so kudos on outting your own tardness before you even really got into what you were barfing out there.
I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED JENNIFER WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SING. SHE WOULD HAVE REALLY PUT BEYONCE AND THE OTHER KNOWLES IN THEIR PLACE. I FIND BEYONCE TO BE HIGHLY OVERRATED. MATTHEW KNOWLES AND BEYONCE SET THE STAGE FOR HER TO BE SUCH A GREAT SOLO ACT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS (LETOYA AND LATAVIA), AND JUST WHEN SHE THINKS SHE HAS FOUND A GREAT MOMENT TO SHINE SOMEONE COMES IN AND TAKES HER THUNDER. SHE DESERVES HORRIBLE REVIEWS FOR HER PERFORMANCE AND SHE ALSO DESERVES TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE WALK AWAY WITH THE SPOTLIGHT. CONSIDERING MATTHEW AND HER HAVE BULLIED AND MANIPULATED MANY PEOPLE TO GET HER TO WERE SHE IS NOW.
NOW BEYONCE KNOWS MANIPULATION ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR YOU MUST HAVE TALENT TO CARRY YOU THE REST OF THE WAY.
AND BABY YOU JUST DON’T HAVE IT.
SMOOCHES!!!!!!!!!!!
