People this is WHITNEY's movie. It's not about the next opportunity for Kelly Rowland or Jennifer Hudson it's about the portrayal of Whitney. I barely knew who Yaya was when she got the part and that is perfect. I don't want the focus to be on the person playing the part. We should be able to forget who she really is and think of her as Whitney when the movie starts and the less well known she is the easier it will be to do so. Besides acting ability (being able to capture Whitney's essence), lip syncing ability, and the right look should be the only three concerns. This girl definitely has the right look, I hope she is good enough for the other two. Kelly cannot act and Jennifer is an okay actress but I can't see her having the ability to portray Whitney. Hopefully this young lady has some real acting chops and can lip sync her butt off!
