[@Fotosynthesis858]

Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Ray Charles is hands-down THE BEST PERFORMANCE I’ve ever seen in my entire life. BY FAR. No competition. No debate. He deserves so much credit for his performance. I don’t know any actor alive or dead who portrayed a role better than Jamie did. I’d be willing to fight you to defend that statement

Jamie Foxx "doing" Ray Charles ? no, he is the rebirth of Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx is an excellent imitator, and his body language is impressive, for a long time I was doubting if this wasn't playback, but no, this is the real thing ! The studio recordings, the life performances, it's as Ray Charles himself was on stage. Watch for yourself in this comparison ....

Jaime nailed this! Glad to have my own copy of this movie at home...truly splendid biopic.

[@luvmenow33]

The way Jamie turned into Ray Charles for this movie was amazing. The only other performer I'd argue did as good of a job was Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash. I mean Joaquin actually managed to drop is voice an entire octave. Listen to him in an interview and then watch a scene from Ring of Fire and it's wild to hear.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

It's funny cuz I alwasy considered that film the "white Ray". Like it came out the very next year the plot of the film hit alot of the same points as Ray did, even with the drug use stuff and redemption arc at the end. Good film tho, but I wouldn't say it was as good as Ray.

[@jarvisjackson8138]

You can't help but get it right. When you have Ray Charles himself on the set giving you the real story

[@__Razer]

All or almost all of the voice tracks from the movie songs are dubbed with Ray's genuine voice, so the movie songs are equally as canon in Ray's discography as the performances in the clips from the 70s and 80s of him performing those songs on TV, which actually were performed later chronologically from the events in the film, which would've been pre-1960s, before he kicked the habit.
