    Eighteen number-one hits make Diana Ross the most successful female recording artist of all time. Her movie career pales in comparison, although she did receive an Oscar nod for Lady Sings the Blues back in 1972. Here she stars with teen sensation Brandy (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer), a pretender to her crown. Ross is Olivia, a struggling lounge singer who abandons daughter Kayla (Brandy) to pursue her showbiz dream. Flash forward 18 years, and Olivia is now a massive star to whom Kayla — ignorant of her origins and just embarking on her own warbling career — goes to for advice. Fans will enjoy the tunes, but the creaking melodrama is less attractive.

    Brill!

    Diana Ross Fan? Then this is your film.

    A very emotional but beautiful film with some of Diana's (as always) fantastic songs from her Album in 1999. Also Brandy both great performers. A hit with me.

    Good Movie!

    After her husband refuses to support her career, aspiring singer Olivia King chooses to leave her husband and young daughter and strike out on her own. Olivia becomes a huge success, but is still wracked with guilt for leaving her child. Years later, she comes to town and learns that her daughter (who is unaware of her true identity) has entered a radio contest for the chance to meet her. Hoping to spend some time together, Olivia rigs the contest so that Kayla will win. The two get along wonderfully and become friends, until Kayla learns the truth. Olivia tries to use their love of music to repair their relationship and help launch her daughter's own singing career.
