The fighting temptations
Darrin Hill (Cuba Gooding Jr.) plays a big-time New York City advertising agent who is forced to return to his rural Southern roots when his only living relative, Aunt Sally (Ann Nesby), dies. Darrin's first impulse is to quickly pay his respects then get back to New York, until he finds out that his aunt has left him an inheritance. Since he has recently lost his job and is in serious debt, he needs the money. But Aunt Sally's stock shares come with a catch: he has to reconstitute the church's choir and lead them to the "Gospel Explosion" competition.
Initially, Darrin doesn't have much to work with, but, after recruiting a local barber shop group (the O'Jays), a beautiful night club singer named Lily (Beyoncé Knowles), and a few prisoners, he had the raw talent necessary to win - if he can put it all together.

Shayne Ward single 'selling fast'
X Factor winner Shayne Ward has sold more than 313,000 copies of his debut single That's My Goal. Experts say the song is almost certain to be number one, with some shops reporting they have sold out.
Around 250,000 copies have been sold over the counter, with the rest bought as downloads.
This makes Shayne's single the third fastest selling single of all time, behind Elton John's Candle In The Wind and Evergreen by Pop Idol's Will Young.
