You should check out his 1994 released called, "Peep This". It was his debut CD and a very good one. Nobody is talking about it. I have had it for years and it is in heavy rotation on my Ipod.
Peep this is by far his best work. I am not feeling the new stuff. | |

novabrkr said: I don't hear him being particularly more off-key on either of those clips than any average singer would be when singing in big halls (especially the falsetto parts) - Alicia Keys too has been adopting that "style" more lately it seems. But I guess I can see the point though, he is not confident enough with his voice and tries to be a better singer than what he actually is. So it sounds exactly like what it is: someone who would probably not get a major record deal and get exposed to a wider public were he not a celebrity to begin with. Professional singers have been singing all through their lives, whereas someone like him could not have just simply dedicated enough time to hone his voice on a daily basis, so it has stuck to that almost-there-but-not-quite -territory. You're not either going to be able to improve on such things too much after you're past 30 years of age or so.
The first clip, btw, started sort of promising but evolved into... uhm, I don't what that was supposed to have been.   **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I think Blaque Knight put it best, when he called Jaime an "unfocused talent". "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

He's a good singer-nice songs. Take a listen to Intuition and that song that he wrote for his Grandmother-he's talented. | |

I think we've come to the consensus that a few people like him here. Others despise him (like me). **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I used to like Jaime Foxx until he went off on Miley Cyrus. Yeah so what the girl was being a spoiled brat but he REALLY took it too far! His sorry ass new movie crashed and he had his daughter to apologize to Miley. I mean you a grown ass man why attack a child???  He pissed a lotta fans off with that crap.The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission. Should ONLY be accessed in the privacy of your mind.

He pissed a lotta fans off with that crap.He pissed people off in general with that. You know, I have never been a big fan of his. He pisses me off when he does stuff like that. Not to mention he's a 42 year old man still singing about "draws" and other juvenile stuff. I don't mind people singing about sex, relationships and love, but to still sing songs that a 20-something would sing is so tacky. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

The thing I notice the most is when he sings he doesn't get out of comedian mode hence the Grammy performance and Bet awards. Maybe he gets nervous same with Eddie Murphy. | |

A few years back he made some joke as host of MTV video awards, at the expense of then-recently out of rehab AJ McLean. The crowd jeered and booed like he'd just slapped their mothers.

I like Jamie as a singer as long as he's not singing his own material .
That boy is mad talented, but this crap he's putting out...it's beneath his capabilities (even though it's selling), and (for me) just makes him come off like "the old dude in the club"... Oh well...at least we still have some of his comedy clips to remind us he can actually sing without a vodacoder... [youtube:cb1ccdc02d]http//:www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYXBigPl_c[/youtube:cb1ccdc02d] his piano comedy still makes me laugh to this day, but at least in a good way, compared to songs like Blame It .

I feel this was his first of many talents and as he is soul searching who he is
we will be very impressed on who he is but his sence of humor is the best . | |

I think Jamie is a decent singer but I prefer him as actor. He did a splendid job on "The Soloist". | |
