| 7 | In 2004, she auditioned for the third season of ''Series/AmericanIdol'', making it to sixth place before being eliminated. Despite the setback, she was cast as Effie White in ''Film/{{Dreamgirls}}'' in her onscreen debut, a role for which she earned critical praise and an MediaNotes/AcademyAward for Best Supporting Actress. She would soon go on to sign a contract with Creator/AristaRecords, releasing her debut album in 2008. Tragedy soon struck, however, when her mother, brother, and nephew were murdered by her older sister's husband, causing her to take some time off. |
