Beyonce clears up the rumors about Diana Ross and Jennifer Hudson
Beyonce on the Diana Ross beef:
"I actually spoke to her at a Clive Davis party," Knowles said to a roomful of reporters earlier this month while promoting the upcoming film. "She was so nice. And it made me very happy because I respect her and I want her to be happy."
"Deena is not Diana Ross," Knowles clarified. "It was very clear that a lot of the story lines never happened to Diana. I kind of borrowed some of her posture and makeup, but it stops there. She's definitely stronger and has a different story."
"I would hope she wasn't," Knowles answered when asked about rumors that Ross was upset over the film. "I love her. I think she's amazingly talented. I hope she enjoys the movie."
Beyonce on Jennifer Hudson drama:
"Why would I be mad at Jennifer?" she continued. "I can only imagine the pressure she had being a woman that's never had an album, never done a movie. When I told people I'm doing 'Dreamgirls,' they were like, 'That's good. Who's doing Effie? Is she singing "And I Am Telling You [I'm Not Going]" right?' ... That [song] is what the [production] is famous for, [and] she pulled it off. She's sweet, she incredible and I hope she maintains that same sweetness. ... She's gifted, and I hope she maintains that."
Jennifer Hudson on Beyonce:
"It is a surprise," Hudson said of the ballyhoo over the alleged quarrelling, "because [Beyoncé] is a sweet girl and we've always got along. It's like, 'Where did this come from?' Any time when something is going good, somebody is gonna find anything to turn from a molehill and make a mountain out of it. But Beyoncé and I support each other the same as we did when we first started. That's my 'Dream' sister. There's nothing but love for each other."
Beyonce on recording "Listen" for "Dreamgirls":
"Bill Condon suggested 'Listen,' " she said of the song, the only original one in the movie. "Actually, it was in the script I read. He felt the second half needed another song. ... It was exciting for me. ... It was important for Deena's character, because she was so controlled [throughout] the whole movie — so manipulated — and finally, when she stands up for herself, it's so effective. I love the record. I think it's something that's still relevant now. Everyone has a moment when they decide they're taking control of their life."
