Sparkle may best be known as Whitney Houston’s final film, but it boasts a pretty talented cast all-around. You probably already know Jordin Sparks, but it’s time to meet the rest of her co-stars: Tika Sumpter, Carmen Ejogo, Omari Hardwick, Derek Luke and Mike Epps. We discussed their favorite Whitney Houston song, 60’s fashion, and those oh-so-hard-to-reach Mariah Carey high notes. It all ends with Jordin, Tika and Carmen showing off their amazing voices as they give us a live performance of ‘Something He Can Feel.’ Check it out below!

Sparkle arrives in theaters on August 17th, 2012.
