Synopsis
FILM SYNOPSIS: Soundtrack to the film Joyful Noise, a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal starring Oscar® nominees Queen Latifah (Chicago," Hairspray") and Dolly Parton ("Steel Magnolias," Nine to Five"). The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the 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. The musically driven story brings together the sounds of gospel, pop, country, rock and R & B with memorable songs, performed by the cast, from a wide range of artists, including Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown, Paul McCartney, Sly & the Family Stone and Stevie Wonder. Dolly Parton wrote original songs for the film, including "Not Enough (Love)" and "From Here to the Moon."
