Jamie Foxx: "Blame It" and "I Don't Need It" ft. Timbaland (Live on Kimmel) (Video)

The Soloist, Jamie Foxx's attempt to return to shlocky Oscar fare after taking terrible roles in dreck like Stealth, tanked this weekend (only $9.72 million, a third the take of Obsessed, an awful-looking Beyonce vehicle), but I have a feeling Foxx probably doesn't care, since he was playing pop star on Kimmel's stage on Friday. Foxx delivered a heavily backing-track assisted version of current hit, "Blame It" (above), before doing a Timbaland-featuring version of "I Don't Need It" (below) to close the show. "I Don't Need It" is a stronger performance, since Foxx doesn't have to use an Auto-Tuner, and the classic R&B vibe allows Foxx and Timbaland to mug for the camera excessively.

Jamie Foxx's Intuition is out now.
