Foxx says Allen of 'Idol' no pushover
Posted on: Saturday, 16 May 2009, 11:48 CDT
Actor Jamie Foxx says amateur singer Kris Allen should hold his own in the final round of the U.S. TV series American Idol.
The Oscar Award-winning actor, who recently served as an Idol
mentor, said during a TV appearance while Allen is understated,
his folk-pop singing is something to be behold, E! Online reported Friday.
Kris really sort of swooned me,
Foxx said during a recent Ellen DeGeneres Show
appearance. Ya know, I'm a macho man, but he was singing and I was like, oh my goodness.
I was like, 'Dude, you had me floating for a minute.' So I told him I would really, really love to do a record with him because he's sort of understated.
E! Online said Foxx also offered some advice to Idol
singers, particularly Allen's fellow finalist, Adam Lambert, regarding potential burgeoning musical careers.
I told all of them -- especially Adam because I think Adam has this thing,
Foxx said. He has to be ready for that ride because if he gets the right record, he is going to go stratosphere.
