Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy

Subject: Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy on NBC-please read


Please take the time to forward the below message to everyone in your
address book. NBC is not doing any marketing & publicity on Jamie's
Music Special on NBC because he stood his ground and wouldn't have any
white guest as they requested. To make it even worse he had two
controversial guest stars, that do not fit the "NBC profile" on his
show. Tune in to find out who they are. They are purposely putting his
show up against the second week of American Idol in hopes that it will
fail. This will give them the excuse to never give another black person
a music special because "it doesn't work". Let's show them that it does
work, and that we support each other. Tivo Idol, and watch Jamie. I
saw the taping, it is a good show.

J Foxx making history on NBC. This is the first time NBC has ever aired
an entire young urban African American cast on a music special. We need
to show support. This was not an easy sell for Jamie and he stood his
ground to make it happen the way he saw fit.
JAMIE FOXX MUSIC SPECIAL WILL BROADCAST WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25TH @
8:00PM PST on NBC. PLEASE MAKE IT A POINT WATCH! There will be
surprise special guests.

Not that I wouldn't support Jaime Foxx but I think this quote is a bit far-fetched. That's a pretty defeatest attitude.

Re: Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy

tell the truth I didn't know he had one until the day and i caught the last few minutes....


however had i known.... i probably wouldn't have watched anyways.... his singles for the album suck... and i respect him as an actor, and i know he's a trained pianist and singer... but he should just throw in the towel with his music career in my opinion

he'll make loads of money because of his popularity.... but i dont like him as a musician... maybe if he had someone else write songs for him that were actually good...

i think the saddest part abt this situatuion... is that when he got into the entertainment business he started trying to be a musician, needless to say it wasn't working out, and then he went to comedy and acting... and look were that got him, and oscar later, he has the star power and money to make his album and release it, and i just think the album flop....

i mean my ears dont discriminate... if it were a white man with that bad songs singing i wouldn;t listen to it either....
