    Musical talent doesn't shine through

    By Scotia  Dec 22, 2005 | 1 out of 2 found this Unpredictable review helpful

    Pros: Songs written by Foxx have substance and could become classics

    Cons: Songs written by others are full of the sex, money, and power theme that consumes hip hop

    I absolutely adore Jamie Foxx and was probably one of the first people in NC to pick up this cd on Tuesday, but I was a little disappointed. Jamie Foxx is very musically talented, but I don't think that was well-reflected on this project. He'...s an awesome pianist and you could only tell that on a couple of songs. There is a HUGE sex theme throughout most of this project and that does little for taking R&B back to the way it used to be which is one of the things he said he really wanted to do through this project. Overall, I was not as pleased as I could've been with this cd, but I'm still behind Jamie 100%. I just hope that maybe he had to conform a little to the industry on this cd in order to have more creative liberties the next time around. The difference between the songs he wrote and the others on the cd is VERY obvious. His songs have more substance and less of the sex, power, money theme that is so common is a lot of today's music. On the dvd side of the dual disc, there is an intimate interview where he is playing the piano and singing some songs that are on the cd and some that are not and that interview just really does not fit with the mood of the cd. I just don't think Jamie Foxx had enough influence on this project and that is very unfortunate. I would still encourage everyone to purchase the cd...just don't buy it for your teenagers. Not even the edited version is appropriate for teens:) Read more Less

    Pros: Sexy

    Cons: Hes too comedic

    I like the CD. Some of the songs are off the hook. If you really listen to some of the words you can hear the comedian in him. Overall nice job.

    By Queen P  Mar 24, 2006

    Pros: Some sangin & piano is sweet! Boy got talent!

    Cons: Crossin' ova to da dark side!!

    For yall youngtas this aint Jamies 1st CD! Ya missed out on his 'Peep This' from da 90's and its out of print...Boo-HOO! Now we get 'Unpredictable' and look Jamie can sing and all but this CD is trying to reach all kind of folks. ...Im really tired of the title song wid Ludacris, and da remake with Mary J Blige called Love Changes is aiight..they ain't got a thang on KAshif and Melisa Morgan and dats da truth. Guess the bosses want him to sell (or sell out huh??) as many copies ...cha-ching!!! This CD might be 'Unpredictable', but it's turning out to be quite Forgetable. Thanks Jamie...6 out of 10 starz for ya honey! Toodles! Read more Less

    Pros: It tells the story of his life up until now.

    Cons: It gets a little slow but listen to the words and you will understand what he's talking about.

    Jamie Foxx is a well rounded young man. He has a lot of talent which some of us over looked in his first album. He did a song in the film "Any Given Sunday" I thought it was nice, but that's my opinion. We should look out for Jamie, I b...elieve ther's a lot more to come besides movies and comedy. That's where he got his start. Read more Less

    Pros: Voice

    Cons: Everything else

    Boring and predictable. If you like this then you're still in middle school. If you want some good R&B go buy John Legend's cd. This is crap, and it's a shame because Foxx is a great talent. Let him shine, please don't make him sound ...like everyone else. Read more Less

    Pros: Heaven, and maybe the last joint.

    Cons: All the Rest

    I am feeling Jamie Foxx's voice- homie can croon for real. But I'm feelin the cat when he is sitting at a piano just playin and vocally freestyling. This album is just more of the same. Not Unique, No originality in the lyrics, or tracks for ...that matter. Jodeci and R Kelly covered this subject matter, presented in this way, a while back yo. Plus...you can't buy the CD unless you want to hear 'explicit lyrics', and I don't. Takin R&B back to the way it used to be? Man please...this is all about pleasing the crowd, doing and saying what sells. Jamie's first album was better than this. Comon Doc, let me hear something different, fresh, ill. I'm really disappointed in this joint...And I think Jamie got madd talent. That's real. Read more Less

    Pros: Lovelly....

    Cons: No Cons

    If you haven’t gotten this one yet, you should run and go get it right now! From the beginning to the end of this cd, it’s a pure genius. The first single Unpredictable is only a sample of what the remaining cd has to offer. Jamie Foxx has true tal...ent and it shows!! Read more Less
