Jamie Foxx Suxx


As I see it, Jamie Foxx was kinda funny on In Living Colour. Fine.
Then, somewhere around Any Given Sunday it began to look like the guy could actually act.
(Yes, the guy from Booty Call.)
Then he made Ali and Collateral and proved he could act.
Then he made Ray and proved he could act and/or do an awesome Ray Charles impression.

Somewhere in there, however, homeboy lost it. He seemed to lose the distinction between himself and Ray Charles. His Jump the Shark Moment occurred at the Oscars when, during his Ray acceptance speech, he started blasphemously singing "What I Say (part II)." He asked the crowd to chant along and, like the sheep they are, they did.

Then he made Stealth and started working on his singing career.
Not only does he sing his own stuff, he gets himself sampled on Kanye West's record with a loop from his own version of Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman."
Now he's at the Grammy's and the mofo is STILL singing Ray Charles songs.
DUDE -it's over!
Gary Busey may be crazy as a shithouse rat but at least I can turn on the TV without worrying about him singing "Peggy Sue."
Lou Diamond Philips' career may not be sky high but he's still not down at the local Holiday Inn strumming "La Bamba."

Someone get this man help, please.
[as soon as I can find a pic on the net of him in his drum major uniform it will be right HERE]
(And Kanye West - that display was so self-aggrandizing and self-consciously "Showstopping" as to be pathetic - starting with telling the network it was time to start the 5-second delay -ooooooooh Kanye is so fucking rebellious. Yeesh.
