DREAMGIRLS is at cinemas everywhere from February 2, and to celebrate its release we are giving you and a friend the chance to win a prize of a lifetime - to get a taste of fame in a vocal talent contest in LA.
To celebrate this musical masterpiece, Paramount Pictures is offering you this exclusive chance to travel to Los Angeles and take part in an unbelievable vocal show.
You will be treated like a star, with the professional entertainment industry providing exceptional tuition and guidance, from vocal coaches to make up artists.
Whilst you're in the recording studio engineers and producers will be there to advise you on delivery and style before you get taken for a photo shoot.
Then, in a vocal show you will get the oppotunity to perform a choice of songs from the movie before some of the music industry's hottest movers and shakers.
Dreams don't get much better than this.
And to top it all off, this exclusive and prestigious event will be captured live on DVD so the dream will live forever.
Based on the Tony Award-winning musical, set in the turbulent late 1960s and early 70s, Dreamgirls follows the rise of a trio of women, Effie - Jennifer Hudson , Deena - Beyonce Knowles and Lorrell - Anika Noni Rose, who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes.
At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr. - Jamie Foxx. who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime - to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early - Eddie Murphy.
Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether.
Though the dreams become a cross-over phenomenon, they soon realise that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher then they ever imagined...

Thanks, I did do a search (but as usual), nothing came up. I do recall another Dreamgirls comp recently, though don't think it was from the Sun. (Might be wrong though.)From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings
