He has a lot of clips on youtube. I'm on my phone so can't post it now. He actually begin as a singer in a band in DC before he got into comedy in the mid 80s.

He had decent cuts on that first CD. After that, I LOVED Because of You and it made me think of someone verrrrry special and a few other cuts were decent, and after that I just liked the two singles on the third album and he was done. I also like what he wrote for Janet, but overstayed his welcome after 2008.

Every cut on his first cd was good and that's rare. He lost the magic after that and really when he took off that hat and revealed that forehead lol

I was crazy about So Sick, Sexy Love and Time, was pleasantly surprised at how good he was.

I don't think this song was an album cut, but it makes me cry and gives me chills, listen to the lyrics:

I thought Jamie had a Nice Singing voice the very first time I saw him sitting @ the piano on "Video Soul" back in the 90's....He's a good singer but I wouldnt PAY to see him live...I've seen him perform on TV and he's not a "performer"...

Singing on stage and the dancing don't even look right as far as he's concerned....His music is good for radio a nd he deserves all the music awards for the work he's put out...

Jamie just need to stay off the stage..On stage he looks like the typical actor that wants to be a Rock Star so bad...

I guess I missed that...The only thing I remember about the BET Awards the Year Mike passed is Chris Brown doing a great job paying tribute to The King of Pop and crying his face off on stage...

What exactly did Jamie do?

I actually remember him being on video soul lol I think he's pretty decent considering other actors have tried to sing or singers trying to be actors and have failed. He's good at both.

Chris did that a year after his death. At the show a few days after his death, Jamie Foxx was dressed up like him and was trying too hard to be funny overall...I guess it was an awkward show overall

I actually like Jamie Foxx as a singer he's certainly more creditable than Eddie Murphy since they both started out as comedians but as someone here pointed out he lacks stage presence. Its like he's trying too hard it doesn't come of natural. I remember one performance he was onstage with Alicia Keys they were both at the piano but I got the sense he was trying to upstage her.

I download his singles but I wouldn't pay to see him perform.

As somebody on the org once said, Jaime is "unfocused talent". While he is just as talented as most of today's "R&B" singers for some reason, he chooses to do "Shit/Hop", styled music and movies that are just safe....

The thing about Jamie is he actually wanted to be a singer. He went to school for piano and is classically trained. He just begin to do stand out in the late 80s

Great voice, he did his thing with "Unpredictable" but his other projects are meh. I wish he would do more R&B styled songs other than the auto-tuned shit with 1000 guest rappers. Like what R. Kelly did with "Love Letter."

Seeing him trying to be a serious singer kind of embarrasses me, even though he can sing. I just can't look at him trying to be a serious singer and not think of Wanda sayin, "I'm re' ta GO!"

I remember when he sang on a song at the end of an In Living Color episode, alone at the piano, and even then I was like, "NOPE."

He's a decent singer (Not great by any means) and suprisingly he's made a few good songs, but I find hit hard to take him seriously as a musician.

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart
