no, hell no! have u ever seen prince act?! he would've BUTCHERED the movie. personal feelings about jamie aside, watch the movie, jamie is lip synchin to ray! and if u think the soundtrack isnt good, u must not like ray charles, cuz as for as i know the sountrack is all ray tunes

I think Prince would have done a really snazzy job as Ray. Jaime didn't even really LOOK like Ray. I definitely would have picked Prince over Foxx.

jamie looked more like ray than prince ever could. and did u get what others were saying? jamie aint singing in the movie! so better tunes and better voice dont matter. acting does

I know what you mean dear.
What we're discussing here is acting. not singing.
And Ray was lipsing anyhoo.

U also should check out Prince's movies b4 u judge and say that he'd do better than Jamie.
b
ut i do like Prince's acting.


Oh. Good points. Maybe Jaime could have done the acting and Prince could have done the singing - that would have been a great movie.


but jamie isnt singing!!!!!

Ray Charles is singing in the movie


No need for Prince to sing if Ray is doing his own singing.

Is it really Ray? He sounds a little off. Did he just record the songs? Regardless, I think Prince has a better voice anyways so they should have used his audio at least.

My bad, it was Andre Cymone's voice they used, not Ray's.

lol Andre Cymone was Prince's childhood friend and collaborator whose family adopted prince briefly in high school when he ran away from home. He helped prince on his first few albums and was the bass player in his first official touring band.

That WAS Ray in the movie. Jamie was just lip-synching.


Although it must be said that Jamie Foxx is a great singer. Did you check him out at last year's Grammy's or when he accepted his Oscar and Golden Globe? He actually has put out at least one album (of songs, not standup). He also happens to be a great piano player (he studied in college). For the record.

Like previously said, acting is not Prince's forte..... he is not even mediocre, he is just bad!
Come here, babe.. yeah...

Prince could pull off the starring role in "Coal Miner's Daughter" before he could convince anybody that he's "Ray".

No wonder you dared post such an idiotic question. Please tell me you did it intentionally to rile people up. Even that would be better than if you really meant that thang. I have to ditto gooch in saying loudly:

Jesus, this is probably the dumbest thing and probably one reason why alot of people on the net don't work in Hollywood at Casting Agencies. It's not even funny if you are trying to be funny. It's just a dense thing to say.


Im not going to have mercy on you because you know better

Prince is 5 feet. Ray was six feet
First problem in the casting dept.


Prince playing Ray charlies is like Jimi Hendrix being played by Abe vigoda

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Ice T being played by Kevin Spacey

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Shaq being played by Mini me

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Mozart being played by Eddie Griffin

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Ayn Rand being played by Wanda Sykes

Prince playing Ray charles is like Malcolm X being played by quentin tarentino

Prince playing Ray charles is like Marie Antoinette being played by Jill Rodriguez "shit, where the fuck is my cake"

Prince playing ray Charles is like Paulie shore playing General Patton
