Jamie Foxx Explains At NYC Show Why He Didn't Like Kissing Beyonce
NEW YORK — Jamie Foxx is clearly a jack of all trades. His dramatic-acting skills earned him an Oscar and his comedy brings audiences to tears. And as for his singing, Foxx's multiple Grammy nominations and multiplatinum plaque say it all.
The actor/singer/comedian brought all his ammunition to Madison Square Garden on Monday night, breaking his Unpredictable show into two sets: One consisting of straight comedy and the other featuring singing, dancing and a brief resurrection of Ray Charles.
A few days prior to the concert, Foxx checked in with MTV News via telephone from Paris, where we was attending a "Dreamgirls" premiere. "You get the bang for your buck," he said. "I'm looking for New York to be off the chain. I want to perform. New York is hot, that whole mystique. We gonna kill that one."
The "we" he was referring to may well have been opener Fantasia, who sanctified the venue with her deep-rooted soul singing. But Foxx proved that he could give the crowd its bang for a buck all by himself.
Starting his set with Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got," Foxx commanded the crowd to put its "hands up and wave ... and wave! And wave!" Wearing blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a red jacket, Foxx stood in front of a giant screen that projected his autograph and opened with his stand-up routine.
