Fantasia is "hurt" that Jennifer Hudson won the role of Effie White
My friends over at intoGOSSIP reports that Fantasia is "hurt" than her former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson won the part of Effie White. I don't know if I can see Fantasia as Effie. Maybe it's because I still have Jennifer Holiday in my mind as the original Effie. But I'm just saying...Anyhow back to this blog post. "American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino was devastated when fellow talent show contestant Jennifer Hudson beat her to the part of Effie White in the forthcoming Dreamgirls movie. Barrino, who beat Hudson in the 2004 season of the televised music contest, auditioned for the role of the troubled sixties singer, but lost out to Hudson. She says, "I was a little hurt. I remember calling Jennifer. She picked up the phone and I said, 'Heifer, you took my part.' {Source}
