Jamie Foxx, musical talent.

Occasionally someone comments that the singers in this movie aren't very good. Even Jamie Foxx. I found this youtube video where he was a guest on the Fallon show and they play a game where they sing. It is a comedy skit but Foxx sings in several different styles, and his last one, Jennifer Hudson (at 7:00 into the video) is the best!

And here's another with Foxx doing a george Strait song. The whole video is good but his singing actually starts at 2:20 into it.

Nice!, Thanks.

And what's your point? None of those performances have nothing to do with the movie. Foxx is a very average singer and didn't help the movie outside of being available for an urban remake.

Ha!  Those were two good videos! I especially liked the second one with the cross-cultural respect Jamie Foxx shows for all music and to George Strait in particular.

It's a beautiful thing! 
