Queen Latifah is amazing
Casey Donovan In this role in the Melbourne, Australia production is absolutely stunning!

NO ONE could have played that part better than the Queen!!! FANTASTIC!!!
My parents showed me this movie when I was 2 I'm almost 18 and its still a favorite 😂 (they had a mama stopper for the sex scene in the beginning)
OMG she's great!
"Why are you gay?"
"Queen Latifah did a number on a green scarf and I was ready to do anything for Mama."
QUEEN INDEED
Kind of ironic she went on to play Bessie Smith
Is anyone else gay for her?
I love the beat! So michievous!
Woman crush wendsday 😍😍💃🏾
I know that what she’s doing is Very Bad irl but…damn
She should have won the Oscar.
nah nah nah queen latifah has no idea of what her character's all about.
Just a bad film all around. Politics, had to be.
I remember her interview shortly after the movie released. She LOVES those feathers.
Genial, el mejor número de Chicago
BBW
Ok but can someone explain how they get money in jail
God damn she's the sexiest woman in the entire movie. Help meee
"You put in for mama, she'll put OUT (boob bounce+appropriately timed drumbeat) for you!"
