Jamie Foxx: 'I thought my Whitney karaoke video would be worth something one day'
Jamie Foxx curses video-sharing websites like YouTube.com because they've rendered special footage he has of a 2000 karaoke session with Whitney Houston worthless.
The Oscar winner captured video of himself, Houston and her then-husband Bobby Brown tackling karaoke at a private event 14 years ago and placed it in a safety deposit box, secure in the knowledge that one day the footage would be a big deal.
But he tells WENN that he fears no one would be interested in the
karaoke clip today - because there is so much footage of Whitney
online.
He says, "Remember when archives meant something? I had this video
of Whitney Houston singing karaoke. I cherish that video. It was me
and Whitney and Bobby Brown singing karaoke and I negotiated to get
the camera turned on, like, 'Is it cool?' She said, 'You know
Jamie, I get a million dollars to sing a song... you go ahead!'
"I put it in a safe deposit box and then YouTube came along and now
it don't matter! Who gives a s**t now!"
