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.

Joyful noise
Being a kid listening to Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” in the car with my friends. None of us could sing but we would be singing to top of our lungs. LOL
What’s your best memory that’s tied with a song?
It’s a toss up between my boyfriend asking me to work on us growing together and get married listening to Unbreakable and me working out on the patio listening to Dream Lover by Mariah Carey while stretching with my legs up, up in the air when the Google truck drove by recording the houses and streets—I was like O_o, but that was funny!

Best Memory tied to a song
My best memories tied to a song is the to the song one in a million by Larry
Grahma. This song was playing while we were at the fountain in the park and my spouse told me he loved me and he want to get married. And of course he told me that I was one in a million.
