Jamie Foxx's NBC Special ~ 1.25.06
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/151...headlines=true
"Jamie Foxx: Unpredictable" airs January 25 at 9 p.m. on NBC.
Foxx says there's a method to the madness: He wants all the theatrics in his music to translate to the stage. Last month he filmed a special for NBC where Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Game, Snoop Dogg, Angie Stone and Common came out and rocked the mic with him. The hour-long show is described by Foxx's label as "a musical journey of Jamie's life," incorporating songs from Unpredictable and reaching back to his hometown of Terrell, Texas, where he was raised in the church and became a classically trained pianist.

I know I have received this e-mail about lack of advertising about Jamie's show 4 times today and the 2 times posted on GC.
How you can combat "lack of advertising" if you choose to do so is e-mail your friends telling them to watch the show. That's it.
But please stop posting it HERE.

I wonder if the author of the email is a regular watcher of NBC, because most networks advertise their shows on their channels. And this show has been well-advertised on NBC. I watch NBC infrequently, and I still saw it being advertised A LOT.
Is Jaime behind this email? If so, he needs to hursh and let his OSCAR speak for him.
<---------Still geeked that he won!

What is the point of the e-mail? Why would NBC be in such harsh opposition to the special as to not advertise it? They have the final say-so, therefore, if they hated the concept that much, why not just can it? They have to right to say what gets played on the network. Jamie doesn't have that kind of pull.
Sometimes we need to do some research and use common sense before continuing to circulate these ridiculous forwarded messages.

There maybe a reason why not to many people know about it: Who's watching NBC right now? Even Fox is kicking their tails!

Exactly. I don't watch NBC at all. Most of my TV shows are UPN and Fox and ABC on Sundays.
We need to stop believing all of the C-O-Nspiracies.

Pretty Good
I watched the show, I loved the Opening Montage and "Unpredictable". Also, Prophet Stevie Wonder singing "That Girl" won me over. Also, I didn't know he had the "Love Changes" song on his album (Did Renee' and Angela sing the original?) . I might have to get it.
Great Music from a very gifted brother. I just cringe at Snoop and the Game on his record. I think people like me (Late twenties, who have a love for old school hip-hop and real lyricism and soul in R&B) need more artists to sing and forget about appealing to the younger, untrained ears that drive the marketing of today's R&B.
