    I will be most disappointed if Jennifer Hudson does not get an academy award for her role as Aretha Franklin in this movie, her acting is superb.

    Jennifer Hudson was outstanding in her role as Aretha Franklin. This movie was so well done, so many facts that so many probably were not aware had happened to this brilliant singer/songwriter in her young life. Many of her songs were written because of things that had happened to her in her life and that is why she put so much feeling into her songs. Many today could not even begin to cope with an iota of what this woman went through before she was able to even know how to be a child. A lot of us have demons to deal with but this woman had 'DEMONS' in her young life and dealt with them daily.

    It gave me an insight into Mrs Franklin's life. Never knew she was that close to Dr. Martin L. King. I enjoyed it. Well done to the cast.

    …story I knew little about and performance by Jennifer Hudson that is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! No wonder Franklin chose her to play her shortly before she passed.

    There is so much more to this iconic woman, but Jennifer Hudson, Marlon Wayans, Mary J. Blige, Marc Maron and Myk Watford were all great.

    Sad but true story, Aretha is definitely Queen of Soul music.
