The fact that Aretha Franklin want Jennifer Hudson to play the queen herself in a biopic movie makes it more amazing!! This is the role Hudson was born to play. I'm sensing a second Oscar for her coming!!!

[bradvenable]

She learned to play the piano, she has the mannerisms, and the voice! Oscar number 2!!

[dalewestbrook]

I have so much respect for Jennifer. She is an unbelievable talented musical voice as well as actress. Thank you for believing in yourself and sharing your talent with us, you are truly one of the greatest.

[planetrock]

I absolutely love the FACT the The Queen of Soul hand-picked Jennifer H. Herself to play Aretha Franklin! She was chosen, i from the looks of it..Aretha picked right!!!

[siddharthnaagar]

The way JHud replicated Aretha's young voice in the initial verse of Natural Woman is beyond extraordinary, this woman was born to play the Queen of Soul

[ryeguy]

She sounds REALLY good singing those songs- that soundtrack will be HUGE.

[tonyalee]

I don’t know who thought Jennifer couldn’t do this but not only did she do huh thang but she gave respectful homage to the Queen.

[anastassiev]

And then Coco Jones will be playing Jenifer Hudson years later.

[ceenick]

Hearing Jennifer Hudson singing the songs literally gave me chills. Yeah she’s about to eat this movie tf up!!

[CeliniacForLife]

Aretha asked Jennifer, “You gon win an Oscar for playing me, right?” Well, Ms. Franklin, it looks like she will do just that.

[matthewcs]

The casting was perfect! So glad that Aretha's story is being told.

[mshockey]

Just saw Respect. Loved it. There was a lot of sadness in Aretha's younger years that I didn't know about until I saw the movie:((
Go out and see this movie. It's really good!!

[Poc]

Mary J Blige killing that supporting actress spot

[lindapowers]

There is nobody else on this earth with the voice, work ethic or acting ability to throw themself into this role and embody the essence of Aretha The Queen of Soul👏🏽🔥
I can barely wait until August!

[arthurkornblum]

Finally a movie that tells her story. The embodiment of soul, Aretha Franklin!!

[serious]

Man, this movie touched me on a level I didn't expect...the pain and depression she went through was palpable...I couldn't stop crying

[martindeleon]

Hollywood should just go ahead and give Jennifer Hudson her Oscar right now.

[MrWana]

"Have you lost your mind ?"
"Maybe i found it"
