Hive Open Mic 186 - "Listen By Beyonce" (Dreamgirls) Cover
Hello Hive Open Mic community and my fellow music singers!
It's another week with a beautiful theme and I'm happy to be here once again to share my song choice for the selected theme by our spotlight artist @mairene1
Image designed here
I'm choosing to share the cover of the song titled "Listen" by "Beyonce", for the theme of the week "Cinema"
Figuring out a song choice for this theme wasn't so easy as I had the mind of singing a song from one of my favourite movies but it turns out I have way too many options in mind and somehow I concluded to share a "not so easy" song from a favourite movie of mine titled "Dreamgirls".
The movie "Dreamgirls" is about three sisters whose dream is to be on the spotlight as great singers and with the help of a wealthy man, they began to see light but it turns out the man is playing the hearts of the girls. Everything plays out for them in the end but one thing I love so much about the movie is the "Casts and music" in it. Characters like Beyonce & Jennifer Hudson in the movie meant so much for me.
Dreamgirls was released in the year 2006, Jennifer Hudson is my favourite character in the movie.
This song "Listen" is one of the songs in the movie sang by Beyonce to express her freedom from the man who played with her after helping her to stardom. The technicality of the song almost became a difficult one for me but I guess listening and singing it a lot of times paid off for me.
So do listen, enjoy the cover and let me know what you think about it's connection to the theme. I hope to see you all next week again in the next theme. I appreciate the support as always 💯
Song Lyrics
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Full Song Lyrics

Haha thank you sis, we both did well for the song then 😍
I am just remembering one thing about a platform where the same comment was not allowed to comment 2 times. If that feature was available here then, I might not comment on the same thing again and again🤣.
Sometimes I feel I need to create a template for you🤣. !LOL
You sang well but I feel that compared to stating the endings was very much better. I don't know why but I felt like it.
