Is Mariah's acting in 'Precious' one of the best of any pop girl? (incl Cher and Bar?

When I watch this movie, I legit forget that this is Mariah. This is THE voice and THE diva. She's so convincing. She needs to do more serious acting like this, I was so impressed. And dont get me wrong, Gaga is my fave, and she's a good actress, but I never forget that it's "Gaga" in the movie. same with any film Madge or Cher has made. i still know they are famous popstars.

 

but Mariah had me completely fooled and sucked into her character. i truly believed her as a social worker.

It’s too short of a performance to compare to leading roles by Babs and Cher, but it’s an amazing supporting performance.

I will say I was a bit floored when I saw her performance. Mariah in a dusty wig looking HAGGARD on purpose? I never thought I'd ever see the day. I don't think it was the best acting performance by a pop girl necessarily, but it was really good.

What's most impressive to me is how her star power doesn't distract from the work; it's a true supporting performance. The transformation is definitely doing some work here but she more than holds her own against Mo'Nique and Gabourey. In fact, if she had more screen time I might compare it to Cher's work in Silkwood (which just makes me sad we never got Mariah's Moonstruck or Mask).

Not really. It was good

Just watched this again for grad school and Mariah's acting in this is superb. So natural and convincing. You can tell she's truly embodying  the character, it's as if she's not even acting.

Wasn't it just a cameo?

No cameos don't have lines
