Plot 1
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.
Plot 2
Glitter is a 2001 American drama film directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall and starring pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey. It was produced by 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures. It centers on the life and times of a struggling singer from the early club music scene in the 1980s. Its soundtrack album, Glitter, was Carey's eighth studio album, a concept album of the sounds of the early 1980s. Largely panned by critics and audiences alike, the movie performed poorly in theaters after it was labeled a vanity project and being an almost autobiographical account of Carey's life.
