Jamie Foxx 'Infatuation' (Arsenio Hall, 1994)

[@hestakingit]

If you think Jamie sings as a joke, try singing this. We also need to take a second and acknowledge how these background singers murdered this.

[@crystalreeves1542]

BRUTHA works yes his background singers are the best I’ve ever heard

[@dillinghamfilm]

PREACH

[@preciousbrown7962]

Try singing Mary Mary like he does

Facts!

[@worldgodusa]

background dancing shadow girl as well

[@strauqq1]

This actually was his best album both vocally and artistically. But back then you had to come with it.

[@dafonkybassmusic]

word! I still jam it!!!

Facts

[@VictoriaLove]

agree

[@lindalawon9151]

He came with it.

[@BRIAN-j3m]

“Peep This” should’ve been a Diamond Selling Album. There is not one bad song on it!

[@matthiashorne4123]

I agree

[@seemore112]

Yes, people missed this

[@ManOfYah-work-in-progress]

All facts

There’s so many like that. I said Soul For Real is one of the goats and got mocked. Blasphemous to say they’re not, I say.

[@MelaninMagic.777]

You mean to tell me this song 30 years old 😩😩 it’s 2024 and it got me in a Choke hold !

[@karljohn5851]

30 years

[@CoutryBoyJim]

30 years

[@MelaninMagic.777]

I stand corrected 😂.

[@clariseharrington8252]

Yep. It had my eldest sister in a choke hold back then. My nephew and I used to sabotage her "tapes" and she'd just go and re-buy it 🤦🏾‍♀️. I'm finally able to listen to it again 😂❤.

[@avybez1]

90’s R&B will definitely do it. ❤

[@Maal7432]

Wow. He really smoked this performance.

[@LondonLoves]

100%

[@QueenYayYa]

It does!

[@justingore5949]

I said the same thing

[@mikekillagreen9432]

And people thought he was " trying" singing on the side. A comedian who wasn't really an actor. He goes on to win an Oscar and a grammy and has #1 hits.

[@clariseharrington8252]

Period! ❤

[@nikki06515]

Triple threat ❤

[@Papi.Pharaoh]

Jamie Foxx was such a underrated vocalist, his runs and vocals were flawless and unmatched, had he came out as a singer instead of comedian he would have definitely been token serious as a vocalist back then.

[@Dougie19xx]

Jamie if you don't sing this gatdamn song boyyyy!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@planetshlorp]

30! 😇

[@Tellhimtwo]

The vulnerability from the lyrics to the notes is heavenly. I’ve always loved how raw Jamie is in everything.⭐️

[@OpusKingOfficial]

I believe if Jamie debuted with singing instead of comedy he'd habe a R Kelly or Brian McKnight level career. So many people dismissed him because of his Living Colour silliness. It's a crime

[@extellahollow3098]

It’s a damn shame too because he’s one of the best vocalists I’ve ever heard

[@msoulja]

@@extellahollow3098 I've said this many a time. His short piano performances after the comedy shows are the best.

[@extellahollow3098]

@@msoulja I absolutely agree 110%

[@OpusKingOfficial]

@Mr. No Weapon Why would he not have a choice?

[@flex5752]

Wtf he did have a huge career like them. He just was smart to make away around making multiple incomes

[@MzDarkSexyOne]

I feel that everybody really slept on this Jamie Foxx cd, the whole thing was hawt! I feel like the world couldn't appreciate him as a singer at that because he was stuck in the comedian box. Shame on everybody who did!

[@flex5752]

Nah because I didn’t

[@bigtechsucksass]

we need an 30th anniversary of this being remastered and the 2nd cd can be unreleased material and instrumentala

[@asiajanea15]

I remember hearing this song on a throwback page on Instagram a year or two ago and I’ve fell in love with but now after this live version I have officially fell more in love with this song. Jamie sounds so good and so does the singers

[@Fullasoul]

Amazing, right? We know NOW what a vocal beast Jamie is, but when this dropped, people had no idea. He was just a comedian that wanted to drop an album....or so we thought!

[@asiajanea15]

@@Fullasoul yes it’s so amazing. He wears so many hats and he wears them all so well. Idk what it is but this song just does something to my soul. It’s so beautiful ❤️

[@ochair1]

Loved this song since my childhood..... Jamie if you read this. Start a peep this challenge on social media and have people cover the songs on that album then re-release it after it goes viral. Use the power of those artists following to create excitement . This is too good to let it collect dust. - a super fan

[@SagittariusLex]

This would be genius ❤️

Not much artist can pull off their own song on their CD and sing it as good LIVE. People like Jamie Foxx, Brian Mcknight, and Boyz II Men can sing very good both LIVE and on the CD.. Thanks for posting this Video

Jamie foxx had been going hard from day one and of many men I have to say that he is the man and like the energizer bunny he just keeps on going and going Hell yeah

[@ngeri06]

I keep saying I just need him to perform this album one time somewhere in the U.S. because I will travel to hear it. There are absolutely no skips and he has such an amazing voice!!!!

It was so much talent back then

[@Barnedav]

How many of our so called R&B artists have the stones to go out there and do it live like that. Major props to Jamie.

[@ygkt1339]

Does anyone know why Jamie doesn’t acknowledge this album now of days?. When he speaks on his first album he speaks of “unpredictable”. When in all actuality “peep this” was his first album. Which was a classic in my eyes.. I need to know why he doesn’t speak on this album today!!!!

[@perdybirdie]

Well a new rapper sexxy red just sampled it so he probably will now

I don't have the biggest connection to you, Jamie, but one things for sho', you were a missed opportunity. I believe that through and through. You, Countess Vaughn and Darius McCrary used to be blowin'. You can obviously sing, but the problem was too much competition. *GOOD* competition. All of you brothas could sang. You just fell by the wayside.
