The choreography was done by a woman called Fatima Robinson. She has done some iconic dances like "put your hands where my eyes can see" by busts rhymes and "backstreet's back" by the backstreet boys. The dream girls DVD has an uncut version of her audition tape to choreograph this movie and it's this entire sequence from start to finish. It was epic! I wish it was in youtube. 😓
Yep. It was like an incarnation of Jackie Wilson whose Music reached a whole New Generation of Fans. On The UK Talent Dance Show The Greatest Dancer, Two Of The Judges Dances to "Reet Petite", then The Company who did The Claymation Style Cartoon Wallace & Gromit did a Video Tribute to him, and then They had a Video of a Couple Dancing To "The Sweetest Feeling" that was one of the Audition Songs that Will Young Sang who became the First Pop Idol in the History of the Franchise. Also they used "To Be Loved" in a Commercial for Milk.
The Supremes actually wore Red Dresses on The Ready Steady Go: The Sounds Of Motown TV Special with The Late Dusty Springfield in 1965. Check it out, it's very good.
Yes. The Supremes wore Red Fringe Dresses when they did The Ready Steady Go The Sounds Of Motown in 1965 with The Miracles, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder & Martha & The Vandellas. It has never been on DVD as far as I know but Dick Clark bought the Rights and Berry Gordy sued him for Royalty Rights. They settled but Dick was a smart Man. He later acquired rights to The TAMI Show (Teenage Music International).
Exactly. I never thought much about Tambourines but after seeing Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, my attitude changed dramatically. Also what happened to The Dreams with Cadillac, is notorious in The UK. For example, A Girl Group called Girlthing who were the proteges of Simon Cowell saw their Song Pure & Simple given to another Group called Hear'Say which they took to Number One. They never had another hit record after that and fell into obscurity. Take That who were created by Nigel Martin Smith after seeing the success of New Kids On The Block. Their debut song was "It Only Takes A Minute" originally done by The Tavares but the "Kids" didn't know that. Then Girls Aloud had a Hit Record called "See The Day" originally done by DC Lee who was one of the "Original" Members of Wham who was in The Club Tropicana Video. Girls Aloud have also covered Push It, Fame, Flashdance, and Jump For My Love by The Pointer Sisters. In her Book Kimberley Walsh complained that their Version in Look Actually wasn't in the Movie but The Pointer Sisters Version was but she didn't realize that what they did was part of History since the 1950's of White Artists taking Black Songs and having the bigger hit.
The amazing choreography and Eddie being robbed aside, as SOON as CC started talking about Curtis’ fraud going back to Steppin’ to The Bad Side I rewinded all the way back and saw what he was talking about.
SUPURB 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I was fortunate ENUF to see this dance performance LIVE for 1 WHOLE WEEK at the FOX in ATL. Chatted met and chatted with actor who played Eddie. My FAV dance scene in play. Especially the church dance at the end.
I remember seeing this in the movie and this number got a round of applause, among others. What a joy it was, we had to see it three times. Phenomenal film!!
All star cast first rate show Thanks to all who worked to bring this to life From the cast to this cleaning up the stage Put art at it's best May art never die for the world would become a dark place with out it.
One hell of a movie all star cast and don't forget those working behind video those who did everything from setting up the stage to those who cleaned up afterwards
Curtis was also smart that he kept the money in a safe and not in a Bank Account. No trace of payola. Yet he kept the accounts up to date knowing what Radio Stations were playing the song. 😊
Another fun fact was what they were doing was "originally" created at Motown in terms of Choreography and it was recreated with Popstars all over the world not to mention K-Pop in Korea.
Hard to believe it's going to be 40 Years next year for Dreamgirls. God Bless David Geffen who "Financed" this play as well as "Cats." He sold a Mansion in Connecticut to Michael Bennet who created Dreamgirls.
I have a girlfriend, Ethel Beatty, who was in the original stage show. Terrific cast. Wonderful to see Loretta Devine in the movie as an homage to the show.
@@lesliecolyer_brown6208Also Sheryl Lee Ralph did Search For Tomorrow after she left Dreamgirls and it is probably next to Grease The Musicals with the strongest ties to Soaps.
Curtis was very devious but very smart. He knew where the Demographics were. Chicago, was next to Philadelphia, and New York at one point the epicenter for Music. Philadelphia of course had American Bandstand, Chicago had Vee Jay Records that Jerry Butler & The Impressions Recorded "For Your Precious Love" in 1958 not to mention Chess Records that Recorded Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley amongst others. Also what he did was of course was "Payola" (Monetary Bribes) and Alan Freed was ruined because of it while Dick Clark "covered" his Tracks. He owned a Factory that pressed Records recorded by Artists who appeared on American Bandstand. He also had a small ownership in Swann Records that had Artists who also appeared on American Bandstand. He never actually took Monetary Payments but when he had to testify before Congress he was told to give up The Music Business and say with American Bandstand. He chose Bandstand but he lost 8 Million in the process. In 1963 he turned down The Beatles for distribution and admitted he couldn't have been more wrong about a Group. Also there was a strong Black Population in Philadelphia, as well as Chicago who were descendants of the South.
@@tekeshagerman7887 In thos case the internet is correct. If you were to also to check Amazon, they will clearly show you the date of release. JHud won the Osar in 2007.
Mary Wilson saw Dreamgirls when it first debuted in 1982. She admitted she cried because she said it was The Supremes Story and it was. Michael Bennett who created the play was once a former Dancer who appeared on some of those Old School Rock 'N Roll Shows from the 1960's.
Also when they were Friends Smokey Robinson told Lou Pearlman about Motown's Charm School and he duplicated it with Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and The Groups who didn't go far. It was also copied in the Popstars Franchise all over the world, and of course K-Pop.
I would love to see the mens' rehearsal sequence uncut. The choreography is outrageous and the dancers are workin' it.
I'm sure that they wanted to make Michael Bennett and Michael Peters proud because they were the ones who helped Dreamgirls become a Classic.
The choreography was done by a woman called Fatima Robinson. She has done some iconic dances like "put your hands where my eyes can see" by busts rhymes and "backstreet's back" by the backstreet boys.

melodramatic7904 plus the cheetah girls lol
melodramatic7904 she also did cherograh for honey and some of Aaliyah's music videos
Honey the movie for people who haven't seen it*
Eddie got robbed. He should have won the oscar for this role
Karen Morris that is true
FACTS!
You think!! He made everyone look like amateurs compared to his greatness in this.
That belt 3:05 alone should’ve gotten him the Oscar lol sang his ass off
Right
The dancers killed it damn, I need to learn this routine
Good luck , I remember calling myself learning it and almost twisted my fkn ankle tryna get the twist down . 😩🤣🤣
@@Same_ol_jee Lmao
I'm down 😂😼
I'm doin it in my bed right now with my imaginary tambourine🤣
The dancers killed it damn l need to
Learn this routine
Eddie Murphy was Awesome as Jimmy Early
they offered Andre 3000 that part first. he turned it down
But most importantly, it was a great part.
Jimmy early was Eddie murphey
@@gamerincorporated154 Got love for Andre 3000 but I don't think he could've brought the same swag that Eddie brought to that character.
Agreed!
Those dancers are EVERYTHING!!! Best performance in the whole movie.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The dream girls are everything best
In the whole movie
I love your music
Damn Jamie with the vocals. He so underappreciated for singing
I love his voice that’s what I came for
Jamie was so smooth in this song
Sometimes I can't get over him and Eddie singing 😂
Yasss girl he good😍😍🔥
Love it
I love love you music
Eddie murphy has some voice. Favorite song in the movie.
He sang THE HELL outta that song lol
The choreography in this scene is ridiculous..I love it!!!!
them back up dancers are lit
The dancing is crazy...love the choreography 😍

I love you music
That dance sequence makes my blood tingle! The creative genius of my people is unmatched 😪 Dreamgirls is so understated!
I love love you music
The way Anika and Jennifer came in carrying the top 🙌🏾😩 sing ladies
Eddie Murphy killed it! His vocals are off the chain....talented brother!!!! Take him out of the movie it is not worth watching!
He should have won the Oscar for Jimmy Early that year. He was robbed!!!!
Idk know about that
I don’t see enough people talking about how amazing this performance was. 🔥
I just noticed that CiCi was the dance instructor for this scene. So he's not only a singer/song writer but a choreographer too.
Early in the movie they say that he choreographs all of the Dreamettes' routines.
You felt the soul in this song
So no one is gonna talk about the fact that Jimmy's microphone is a gun? Lol
never noticed that before.
Wow I seen this so many times and never caught that lol
Damn....😂😂😂😂
I've been watching this movie since i was 8 HOW HAVE I NOT NOTICED THIS
When I seen it I was like WTF
I want one of those red fringe dresses...then I'd step into my OWN bad side...;0)
The Supremes actually wore Red Dresses on The Ready Steady Go: The Sounds Of Motown TV Special with The Late Dusty Springfield in 1965. Check it out, it's very good.

My school did this musical and it made me want to see the movie again. I love it.
They took it to church with them tambourines

Watched the movie last night and felt so tempted to rewind back to that part too but read it on Wikipedia instead. Lol
I watch this film repeatedly and yes, saw what CC was talking about
I love it
This movie was such a masterpiece for African American Film History.
SUPURB 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I was fortunate ENUF to see this dance performance LIVE for 1 WHOLE WEEK at the FOX in ATL. Chatted met and chatted with actor who played Eddie.
My FAV dance scene in play. Especially the church dance at the end.
This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie 👏🏾❤️❤️ the choreography alone was amazing
One of the best musical movies ever seriously
Still one of my all time favorite musical numbers in a movie.
I remember seeing this in the movie and this number got a round of applause, among others. What a joy it was, we had to see it three times. Phenomenal film!!
All star cast first rate show
Thanks to all who worked to bring this to life
From the cast to this cleaning up the stage
Put art at it's best
May art never die for the world would become a dark place with out it.
My people are amazing. Originals of everything
I loved CHICAGO, but man, this had even more fire to it. Amazing music/choreography, but that cast was freaking spectacular.👍👏🎵
This choreography is everything.
The slower intro by Jamie was amazing!
At 3:51 the dancers are KILLING it!!!
I love love you music

I can single out Anika voice @3:33-3:37 that woman vocals are not to be played with 😍😍😍
absolutely killed it!
03:30 SAAAAAANG LORREL
The vocals are 💥💥 especially Anika Noni Rose with the high notes
Love it. Choreography was 🔥 that shake at 3:53 excellent.
Isn't that move based on an African shaman dance or voodoo shake? O can't remember, but it is very visceral whenever I watch it.
How Eddie Murphy wasn't awarded an academy award for this role is an absolute travesty!! He was ROBBED!! It's easily the best role he's ever played
the choreography is mind blowing!
Bomb
I love this movie, and I'm loving their dresses❤❤❤
I love this movie,and l’m loving their dream girls 💜💜💜
Jennifer Hudson may have had some extra weight on her for the role, but damn, if she didn't look gorgeous here.
Wasn’t for the role , she was fat back then . Even fatter before
@@boywonder4755 she wasn't fat they had her gain 30 pounds for the role smart ass
just call her efe sorry i spelled that wrong
this song/part is my fav and gave me chills
Where did they get the tambourines from?
willow bridgforth I watched this video so many times and still don't know where they were hiding them lol
willow bridgforth From Jesus 🙏🏽
willow bridgforth The Dreamettes got them from their wigs.

My favorite dance sequence of the film
This sounds like a villain song, not sure if it was meant to be one or not though.
I wish Michael Jackson was still alive to watch Eddie Murphy sing in this movie
Well, the movie came out in 2006 and Michael died in 2009. So whose to say he never saw it.
Felicia Sanders that movie did not come out in 2006 it came out weeks after his death
@@tekeshagerman7887 You are incorrect. Google is free so you should look it up.
