Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy on NBC

This came to me in an email blast, and while 9 out of 10 emails of this nature turn out to merely urban legends and we as a people need to look into and verify the facts of these emails before we foward to everyone in our address books furthering the urban legend.

But after doin a some research to learn more about this special I felt the info needed to shared with all my people, so read below and as always holla back with your comments and thoughts...

Jamie Foxx - Music Special Controversy on NBC

NBC is not doing any marketing and publicity on Jamie's Music Special on NBC because he stood his ground and wouldn't have any white guests as they requested. To make it even worse he had two controversial guest stars that do not fit the "NBC profile" on his show. Tune in to find out who they are. They are purposely putting his show up against the second week of American Idol in hopes that it will fail. This will give them the excuse to never give another black person a music special because "it doesn't work." Let's show them that it does work, and that we support each other. Tivo Idol and watch Jamie.
The RAY star, who found success with his own TV comedy show in the 1990s, will now get the chance to show off his singing talents on upcoming special JAMIE FOXX: UNPREDICTABLE.Jamie Foxx making history on NBC . This is the first time NBC has ever aired an entire young urban African American cast on a music special. We need to show support. This was not an easy sell for Jamie and he stood his ground to make it happen the way he saw fit.
