Here is the synopsis for “Joyful Noise”:

Oscar nominees Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Hairspray”) and Dolly Parton (“Transamerica,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Nine to Five”) star in “Joyful Noise”: a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal.

The small town of Pacashau, Ga. has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Sacred Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart.

Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried and true translates to tired and old. Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.’s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose’s beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer).

The sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more heat between G.G. and Vi Rose. If these two strong-willed women can overcome their differences and find a common voice, they and their choir may make the most joyful noise of all.

The movie trailer for “Joyful Noise” can be watched now below.

Snowball!

I was in 8th grade when I met a girl that I knew would be in my life forever. After knowing her for two weeks, I got an invite to her Bat Mitzvah. At the after party, we all circled around for a snowball dance and “You Got It Bad” by Usher came on. I sat as the girl went around the circle for what seemed like the whole song. To my surprise she picked me as her first dance as a Jewish woman. Ever since then, I’ve been proud to call that girl my best friend.

Memories

Jingle bell rock always reminds me of a winter dance we had in grammar school ” a long time ago ” the teacher made us dance in a ho’ down style and my partner and I were not facing each other but were back to back and smashed our heads together and laughed our pain away. To this day I can’t hear that song without having myself a great laugh at my own expense

Best Memory Tied to a Song

Luther Vandross - “Dance with my Father”

This is the only song that has the most profound impact on me. My Dad used to dance with my Mom and my siblings and I.

I felt like Luther Vandross wrote this song just for me.

I get emotional every time I hear it and I’m not the most emotional person.
