I wanna whoop Levi's ass err'time I rewatch it. I'm glad they kicked his ass in the remake but other than that, there was no need to remake it. Lonette McKee killed in the role and Aretha killed on the soundtrack (even though I would have preferred that they had released the originals from the movie).

Lonette McKee should of been nominated for a best supporting Oscar for Sister. Of course, this was the seventies, and the blaxploitation era. The Academy wasn't trying to recognize black actors much in general, let alone in this genre of films. Too bad because Lonette put her foot in this role.

Amen to that: Lonette and Irene brought it home. Ironic, since Irene Cara went on to win an Oscar for writing the song "Flashdance." The voices in this were not dubbed, which is what makes it so magical.

I don’t think it was Curtis’ decision. I think the higher ups figured some no name actors would not sell like a big name star’s cover of the songs. In my opinion, they were wrong. I love Aretha, but she can’t touch the energy of the Irene, Lonette, and Phillip.

Yes, the girls in the second version had more to be happy about. They could have been added characters but not replacements. Jordan Sparks could have had a separate role but not as Sparkle :) Irain personality was developed in the remake of Sparkle, so we would not debate on Irain on part one with part two: Irain roles on both connects; Irain looks a lot different though...

As stated before Lonette McKee performed her characters vocals in Sparkle. She can also be heard singing in the movies "Round Midnight (How Long Has This Been Going On?) and Cotton Club (Ill Wind). Her first LP "Words and Music," (she wrote the songs) is excellent. Lonette McKee is "real" talent!

I was a big Irene Cara fan as a child and saw her and Phillip in this and Aaron loves Angela the year before Sparkle came out. It was real, there was no sugar coating. Infuse it with FINE, beautiful, incredible talent and you had a show! Decades later, I'm invited to a screening of Sparkle at a grammy event and I meet Ms. Jordin, tall and beautiful, but 'awesome' is the sole word in her vocabulary. I cried through all the Whitney parts and understand why she produced it. She loved the move too.
