Hairspray! The Beat Goes On
Entertainment Weekly takes a sneak peek at the Hairspray DVD (release date November 20, 2007) and shares a video of the song, “I Can Wait.”
This wistful sweet ballad was composed especially for the film as a solo for heroine Tracy Turnblad (played by Nikki Blonsky), and was actually shot for the film, but was eventually deleted before the final release.
The scene shows Tracy singing the ballad while locked up in Prudy Pingleton’s bomb shelter basement, interspersed with montages of events that took place earlier in the movie.
Don’t wait to catch the video at ew.com.

I can’t wait to see Nikki get award nominations.
and I can’t wait for the AMA’s.
all I know is Hairspray better win best soundtrack, because while I enjoy listening to HSM2. no way in hell is it better than the Hairspray soundtrack.
Im waiting…
Kourtney.
I agree with you. I love the song and her voice in it. but I’m happy it’s not in the movie.
but I’m glad it’s on the dvd.
no no no, notabasher, i know you’re not a hater at all… :) I was just saying that i love your post, that’s all :)
DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN DREAM GIRLS MIGHT WIN
Love Nikki in Hairspray and can’t wait to buy the DVD! I’m driving my family nuts with Hairspray songs and videos on Youtube.
She is an amazing and a true talent! Wow she is everywhere these days with her singing and acting. Great to see her in different roles because she is not just a one dimensional performer.
Also loved all the candid pictures of her and her BFF Zac on ff. Thanks gang! Those behind the scenes and off the set pictures are super. They look great together.
not a basher
meh. I love the songs from Dreamgirls too, but I don’t know if it’ll win. Hairspray has a ton of fans and so does HSM. so I really think it’s between these 2.
I DON KNOW, WIT A GOOD VOICE LIKE JENNIFER HUDSON, BEYONCE…WOW. WHY NOT! BUT I SURE HOPE HSM2 OR HAIRSPRAY WIN =)
BUT HONESTLY, DREAMGIRLS DESERV IT
wow already tons of comments way to go Nikki!
FLOVE YOU Irish!
I think Hairspray deserves to win!
not a basher.
I know. I love Jennifer Hudson’s voice. it’s amazing and Beyonce was great too. I just prefer the soundtrack to Hairspray better. so I want that to win.
but I really like the songs from Dreamgirls.
I LOVE THE SONG FRON DREAM GIRLS “YOU GONNA LOVE ME” , I WAS LIKE DAMN
Okay, first I want to say that I’m very happy for Nikki and this is a cool thread. It’s great to get a peek at this deleted scene. I am very excited that the dvd is only days away now and I will be up that morning getting it at the store. :-)
Next, just wanted to say it was a little sad to read through and see the comparisons here…and if there’s real honesty, unless I missed some posts because they were removed for abuse or something, I don’t think I saw any that bashed Nikki with a comparison to she who shouldn’t need to be named since it is indeed a Nikki thread. What I mean is, the mentions of you know who came about by those defending Nikki. Anyway, just seemed, well, counterproductive to me. I am a fan of said gal too and I didn’t have any intention of discussing her here.
So, basically, maybe we can focus on Nikki’s awesomeness and leave it at that. And, I agree with narf #114. Peace is good…I like both but I respect the one this thread is celebrating. :-)
Not a Basher
I know. I FLOVE And I am telling you… that was awesome.
and I love the song Listen too.

and yay 4 more days til Hairspray’s on Dvd. :)
Yes, please can we just keep it to Nikki and if you aren’t a fan then don’t post here. That would be great.
I can’t wait to see the new films Nikki has been working on. :)
And I CAN NOT wait for this DVD. It looks like there is a lot of amazing features. The only thing I am disappointed about is that it looks like there won’t be any bloopers and I would have really loved to see some bloopers.
OMG! Some Nikki Blonsky postings……………finally!! Love the girl and can’t wait to get my hands on the DVD. Super talent with an incredible voice. Saw her in CARMEN in high school and she was fabulous! Knew it was just a matter of time util she got discovered.
You rock girl! What a great success story for such a deserving young woman with a big heart and talent to match. She is a beautiful woman inside and out. That’s what she said about her co-star but it is also true about her.
I really hope Hairspray beats HSM2. I mean, I like the hsm2 soundtrack and I listen to it about every day but the hairspray soundtrack is way better. I think the people in hairspray have more vocal talents than the people in hsm. granted zac efron is in both but his vocal talents are more showing and shining in hairspray than they are in hsm. also, I think the hairspray songs have more depth to them.
exactly Nonna
yeah I LOVE bloopers I’m sad we’re not getting any bc I’m sure there were some great ones.
I would have loved to have seen some Bloopers! I am just glad that the dvd comes out on Tuesday! I don’t think I could have waited much longer!
we need bloppers! There might be some surprises!
ha. Bloopers!
Angie..you saw her in Carmen? *Is insanely jealous* The footage of her in that and Les Miserables blows me away every time I see it. Just wow.
You know they’re saving the bloopers for the super duper you just have to have it 1.5 release next year guys ;)
I would love bloopers too…but I’m wondering if either the HD DVD version, which I think comes out in early ‘08, or some other super duper must-have edition will include them. I love the movie and I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but I’m thinking that the producers and such are going to milk it for all it’s worth. I mean, I’m sure I’ll also be buying the new upgraded version of the cd soundtrack too. They so have their hands in my pockets! LOL.
Out of curiosity, anyone have thoughts on which version they’re getting? The Shake and Shimmy or the big deluxe locker type one.
The HAIRSPRAY soundtrack is much more professional and deserving of the award. It has depth of voices and the songs are fabulous. If it were chosen by music professionals in the business, it would be a no brainer to win. But with all the tweens voting I’m not sure the best soundtrack will win.
The DVD will be able to bring that amazing uplifting, toe-tapping music to our homes! Can’t wait!! Miss Blonsky was a super talent in the movie.
