While it's hardly an A-grade song, it does at least ring of some middle-of-the-road Motown numbers, almost a filler Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas track. The best of the three tunes, "Love You I Do," is a modestly enjoyable number, performed by the buoyant Hudson. While the Academy didn't go too head-over-heels for the film, ignoring Condon and looking past the production in Best Picture, Dreamgirls did manage a hefty three noms in Best Original Song. I also didn't think - and here's where I loop this into Best Original Song - the new tracks, all by Henry Krieger, resonated even a tenth as strongly as "I Am Changing," "One Night Only" or, of course, "And I Am Telling You." While I enjoyed Jennifer Hudson's Oscar-winning turn as Effie, I was left restless by the wooden leading turns of Beyonce and Jamie Foxx. Lo and behold, I was left largely cold by the picture, which I didn't feel nearly captured the magic of the material's stage productions. Venturing into Bill Condon's 2006 film adaptation of Dreamgirls, I had pretty sky-high expectations, given the strength of the material and my fondness for Condon's prior work. I consider Dreamgirls one of the finest American musicals of the past half-century, a rich, often exhilarating look back at a time when producers and their dazzling performers would crank out one two-a-half-minute mega hit after another, many of which proved timeless and still garner plenty airplay to this day.even if many of the actual performers themselves have sadly been forgotten.
