I agree. Alfre Woodward does a good job in everything she plays in. I love her style. But everyone has their own subjective opinions.

I agree w/most of the list but I thought Diana Ross was good in the Wiz; but I must agree there was no chemistry btwn Queen Latifah in Just Wright and Djimon Hounsou in Beauty Shop; I think Janet Jackson was miscast in Poetic Justice as well.

sooooooooo sooooooo true- because you got famous for 1 thing doesn’t mean you can do it all. Stick to 1 or two and be that – stop trying to be multi-talent and leave the acting to those who have can ACTUALLY act and have spent their life crafting their art.

LOL! You are right; they do think that most black people look alike. Otherwise how would you explain casting Terrance Howard as Mandela. I find that completely laughable.

they should just STOP hiring rappers and singers to act…because 90% CANNOT act!….50 cent, beyond, ciara, bow wow, teyana taylor, etc….

When I saw Just Wright all I could focus on was the lack of chemistry between Common and Queen Latifah. Common in a romantic lead did not work for me. Queen Latifah can pull it off. I thought she and LL Cool J had chemistry in Last Holiday.

I wasn’t too crazy about Paul Patton in Jumping the Broom.

I agree with majority of this list, buts let’s give hope to Mary J. hopefully she won’t fck up a legend like Nina Simone. I also think Alfre, Queen and Diana weren’t that bad, a lil corny but not that bad. But of ALL the ppl u left Beyonce out!? I’m a King B fan, but she came out the gate a bad actress starting w/ that Carmen Hip Hopera!

a lot of the horrible castings are because a lot of nonblack people SERIOUSLY think all black people look alike. LMAO
