Storyline
Billie Frank is a shy, young mixed-race girl who is sent away by her alcoholic mother at a very early age. At an orphanage, she befriends Louise and Roxanne. Flash forward to 1983. Billie and her friends are spotted by a record producer, Timothy Walker, who wants them to sing backup for his latest pop-music discovery. But when super DJ Dice hears Billie's incredible voice, he makes a shady deal with Timothy to get her out of that dead-end situation. Soon, Billie and Dice are making hits inside the studio, and falling in love outside of it. Eventually, the pressure of her newfound celebrity puts too heavy a strain on Billie, forcing her to decide what it is she really wants from Dice, and what she wants for herself. Written by Anonymous

Trivia
Aside from being universally panned by critics, it also failed at the box office, earning only over US$5 million worldwide. Because of this, 20th Century Fox opted not to release the film on DVD; instead, they surrendered the rights to Columbia Pictures, which distributed the film outside the U.S. In addition, the accompanying soundtrack CD became the weakest-selling album in Mariah Carey's career up to that point, prompting Virgin Records/EMI to sever their ties with her.

Continuity: After Billie kisses the music sheet, the pencil in front of it is lying so that you can see the brand name on the side of it. When Dice goes back later, the pencil is yellow and the writing isn't visible on it any more. See more »Quotes
Video Director: We ask ourselves, is she black? Is she white? We don't care. She's exotic. I want to see more of her breasts.See more »
