Besides the fact that these scene comparisons are really good. I love that there are no narrators talking throughout the videos giving us an explanation.
Jamie Foxx "doing" Ray Charles ? no, he is the rebirth of Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx is an excellent imitator, and his body language is impressive, for a long time I was doubting if this wasn't playback, but no, this is the real thing ! The studio recordings, the life performances, it's as Ray Charles himself was on stage. Watch for yourself in this comparison ....
Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Ray Charles is hands-down THE BEST PERFORMANCE I’ve ever seen in my entire life. BY FAR. No competition. No debate. He deserves so much credit for his performance. I don’t know any actor alive or dead who portrayed a role better than Jamie did. I’d be willing to fight you to defend that statement
I saw this when it came out in theaters and I thought it was just amazing getting to see and learn about the life of Ray Charles. Ray maybe gone but his spirit lives on!!!
Jamie Foxx worked hard for this role. He face prosthetics( I believe thats what it was) put on so that he couldnt see. Then he had to learn Ray Charles' piano technique. Then to get Rays mannerisms and voice down. He deserved an award! He really loved Ray!
First of all RIP Ray Charles. Long overdue condolences to the family. Second. Jamie Foxx was brilliant. By the way. Great job with the editing and clips sir 😁👍👍
The way Jamie turned into Ray Charles for this movie was amazing. The only other performer I'd argue did as good of a job was Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash. I mean Joaquin actually managed to drop is voice an entire octave. Listen to him in an interview and then watch a scene from Ring of Fire and it's wild to hear.
It's funny cuz I alwasy considered that film the "white Ray". Like it came out the very next year the plot of the film hit alot of the same points as Ray did, even with the drug use stuff and redemption arc at the end. Good film tho, but I wouldn't say it was as good as Ray.
can't wait Bohemian Rhapsody to come out and excited for you to do comparison of that film to real life events of Queen once the digital/home release of that film comes out!
Jamie did an excellent job. But no one ever mentions Taylor Hackford. He hand picked Jamie Foxx for this role. He was the perfect director for this movie.
The comparisons are amazing, was surprised to see 4 to 5 Raylets doing backup instead of 3, also the point that the younger Ray wasn’t as animated in his shoulders like the film suggests. Great work overall though.
Jamie Foxx is one of my favorite celebrities and actors!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊 His role as Ray Charles is my favorite role by him!!! ❤❤❤😊😊❤😊he played the role so spectacularly well, wonderful and amazing!!!! ❤❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 🤩
All or almost all of the voice tracks from the movie songs are dubbed with Ray's genuine voice, so the movie songs are equally as canon in Ray's discography as the performances in the clips from the 70s and 80s of him performing those songs on TV, which actually were performed later chronologically from the events in the film, which would've been pre-1960s, before he kicked the habit.
Jamie Foxx can act. Jamie Foxx can sing. Jamie Foxx is a comedian. Diversely talented entertainers ever. I'd like to add that he's also my birthday twin. December 13th!!
Jamie did such a spectacular job as Ray as well Chadwick Boseman as James Brown. When compared to Rami Malek as Mercury, that was a pretty poor performance, a caricature.
I notice only one issue... young ray was more stiff on the rocking but older ray was more moving and Mr Fox was stiff on older but rocking on the younger but omg it was great movie on a great man.. preformed by another great man.... thank you for doing the movie
The is reminds me of the Chris Rock joke, after Jamie’s performance in Ray, they pulled the plug on the real one like, well we dont need two of these?!” It was hilarious only cause it wS true of Foxx’s performance and tribute to the Legend.
I think that you don’t know that in the movie who was playing and singing was the same Ray Charles not the actor, that’s why the piano and voice is identical 😬😁💯👌🏽
God has truly Blessed this young man with a talent that goes beyond, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this and I did read a passage by Ray's son that stated that there were times that even he could not tell the difference between his father and Jamie Foxx.
DOG- Whoever you are that did this y.tube video; You Belong in HOLLYWOOD. I've never seen this before, maybe once, but your timing was "Second-to-None". The Ray movie jumped into my top 2 biopics behind the "Temptations" movie. And you did it to a "T". Congrats of a job well done. I can't begin to imagine how much time it must have taken to not only deal with scenes but also, voice AND rhythm. I was evaluating you the entire video for content and timing and must say "You Nailed It. Thanks for doing this.
I've seen just about all of the "Bio Pics" made... Kurt Russell did a pretty good Elvis. Jim Carrey did a really good Andy Kaufman. Dennis Quaid played Jerry Lee Lewis well. Gary Busey did a decent Buddy Holley.... But Mr. Fox's portrayal of Mr. Charles was the absolute best I've ever seen an Actor perform. And it was a pretty damn good movie, too. Another absolute excellent performance was by Chadwick Boseman in Get On Up, the story of Mr. James Brown... Also well done.
Could you please do a scene comparisons of dr who Season 9s Before The Flood where there is to versions of the Doctor and he has to avoid his past self! Also, well done! You content is amazing!!!!!!!
This has to be the greatest biopic made of all time. Jamie did such an excellent job.
*Bohemian Rhapsody has entered the chat*
@@clintonbest1549 nahh bro, queen fans are just over the top.
Clinton Best I love Queen, but Bohemian Rhapsody can’t touch Ray.
BoRap was good but not better than ray
I also love Coal Miners Daughter
Jamie deserved an Oscar for this role. He looks like him and he even sings great. Ray Charles is a legend love him.
He won an Oscar for this role lol
@@elysian5028 He did play the piano though. Jamie was classically trained in piano.
Non descript no they did
Non descript oh yess they did!!! All jamie
@@elysian5028
Where did you get that from?
This is one of the absolute best casting decisions in the history of cinema.
The GREATEST
Facts
There's a reason why he got the Oscar that year-- just incredible!
No one could have portrayed Ray like Jamie did. Jamie's a great actor but he also is a very talented musician as well. 👏👏👏
Nobody has ever done a better job than Jamie fox doing Ray, he is the standard to match, or beat.
Will Smith was terrible as Ali.
@@churchjones1758 I agree 👍 💯
Denzel embodied Malcolm X. Robbed of his Oscar for that performance.
Spacey as Darin was amazing. Bite me.
Rami malek as Freddie Mercury.
This is a great comparison! Jaime Foxx was dynamite as Ray Charles! He looked just like him!
thanks! ;)
Sheena McRae Agreed.
Jamie Foxx Only one who can !!!!
@dayum son Lol! That's because they used Ray's voice in most of the musical numbers!
@@dimitreze
🌟Do me👈 🎤 and Motown's ✨"tempations👍💯
i can hardly hear a difference between the two, incredible
It's ALL Ray's voice!!
@@gsdsteve8825 not all
gsdsteve Jamie was singing in the movie. Go listen to gold digger with him & Kanye and you’ll see
Didn’t he sing some and lip sync others that’s what I’ve heard
@@boston111000 yea he sang one of them and lip sync most of the songs
its sad he died the year this movie came out.
Are you saying you'd wish he had seen it?
I'm sorry, I had to.
@@productplacementadz24-73 hahahah you got me
Oh he watched it don't worry
@@productplacementadz24-73 Why
I meam..... its not like he was going to see it
Jamie went beyond immating Ray. He embodied him.
Besides the fact that these scene comparisons are really good. I love that there are no narrators talking throughout the videos giving us an explanation.
R.I.P Ray Charles Robinson (1930-2004)
Jamie Foxx as Ray and Angela Bassett as Tina Turner were just epic!
Saw this film as a kid. His young brothers death freaked me out as a kid.
Me too it freaked me out until I recently saw it a few weeks ago
@@kikigam7113
Its even freakier seeing it now. How does a young boy almost a young teen just drown in a tub?
@@topdawg182 almost a teen? He was a toddler.
There hasn't been a biopic yet that came close to what Jamie did with this.
I’ll add denzel in malcom x but ray is definitely number 1
@@moneymatters8457 i found malcolm x extremely dull on a recent rewatch
Angela Bassett as Tina Turner
Will smith as ali was good too
Elvis 1979. Kurt Russell. So Good!
For the longest (when i was a child of course) i thought jamie foxx was Ray Charles !! He did that, best biopic seriously.
Jamie Foxx "doing" Ray Charles ? no, he is the rebirth of Ray Charles,
Jamie Foxx is an excellent imitator, and his
body language is impressive, for a long time I was doubting if this wasn't playback, but no, this is the real thing !

Watch for yourself in this comparison ....

I don’t know any actor alive or dead who portrayed a role better than Jamie did. I’d be willing to fight you to defend that statement
Having this debate now between Ray, bohemian rhapsody and Elvis…
@@RichP007 naah Bohemian Rhapsody was good but not at all at this level
Jamie Fox knocked this performance out of the park. Just got done watching the movie
This is the greatest biopic of all time, Jamie adding cherry on top with him his energy and charisma of his. Excellent 🙌🏾
Not a huge Jamie Foxx fan but credit where it’s do, he was amazing in this role and absolutely deserved the Oscar.
Jamie Was a perfect Ray Charles for the movie literally could imagine Ray being played by anybody else
David Alan Grier? He played Ray on In Living Color.
Yes he's brilliant @@jonkeiser6092
Jamie Fox is an incredible genius and and a grand asset to the Screen Actors Guild and Hollywood. BRAVO JAMIE!
I saw this when it came out in theaters and I thought it was just amazing getting to see and learn about the life of Ray Charles.
Ray maybe gone but his spirit lives on!!!
Couldn't have picked a better actor to portray Ray Charles. Jamie Foxx is criminally underrated and a very talented actor
GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.We miss you Mr Ray Charles 🙏🏿🙏🏿💜😭. and JAMIE Straight up NAILED ROLE 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😎😊😊😊
Jamie is amazing . I bet he studied Ray for months
He had to. His performance was amazing.
And he actually played the piano with Ray
Indeed...Ray personally chose Jamie for the role.
Jamie is just a very talented singer. He can do little Richard pretty good too. He should do his biopic as well.
Jamie did a superb job acting. I would have never guessed he could pull it off, but he did.
This is one of the best biopics I have seen. Both are legends
Jaime nailed this! Glad to have my own copy of this movie at home...truly splendid biopic.
Ray is one of my favorite movies ever!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤❤️ 😍 🤩
this brought me to tears :) my life is getting better from now on.
bro they sound the exact same he fit this so perfectly 🔥🔥
“Let them keep dancing then, that’s what they here for!” 😂😂😂 6:40
Thanks for putting the audio separate for left and right headphones
Jaime knocked it so far outta the park, 17 years later they're STILL looking for the ball!
Jamie Foxx worked hard for this role. He face prosthetics( I believe thats what it was) put on so that he couldnt see. Then he had to learn Ray Charles' piano technique. Then to get Rays mannerisms and voice down. He deserved an award!
He really loved Ray!
One of if not the greatest acting performance 🎭 I have every seen in my life
A labor of love, and it shows... Great job!
Wonderfully done Glad he got the Oscsr for it!!!
Make a comparision with jackson and a american dream with the real events
I'll see what I can do ;)
Thanks
dimitreze do Jackson’s American Dream with real events please

Jamie Foxx did such an incredible job of playing Ray Charles that it's easy to forget sometimes that your actually watching Jamie Foxx & not Ray.
can't wait Bohemian Rhapsody to come out and excited for you to do comparison of that film to real life events of Queen once the digital/home release of that film comes out!
Spoiler: The movie doesn't even do the true story justice, is a pop piece designed to make Brian May and the rest look like heroes.
There is already a video on TH-cam
@@streetrat48 finally someone said it other than me
When Jamie Recorded "What I Say" He Had To Turn The Mic Around Just Like Ray Did When Ray Was In Concert. It Is On Ray's Live Album.
Jamie did an excellent job. But no one ever mentions Taylor Hackford. He hand picked Jamie Foxx for this role. He was the perfect director for this movie.
Well that's why he won the Oscar...HE BECAME RAY CHARLES. 😳
One my favorite biopics, I wish more actors got a chance or took the time to study the originals..method actors are timeless and the best .
Besides playing the role of Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx is also an AWESOME Pianist.
It’s rare the performance makes the movie....legendary
My favorite musical biopic hands up, down, all around!!!!!
The comparisons are amazing, was surprised to see 4 to 5 Raylets doing backup instead of 3, also the point that the younger Ray wasn’t as animated in his shoulders like the film suggests. Great work overall though.
Jamie Foxx is one of my favorite celebrities and actors!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊
His role as Ray Charles is my favorite role by him!!! ❤❤❤😊😊❤😊he played the role so spectacularly well, wonderful and amazing!!!! ❤❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 🤩
You can't help but get it right. When you have Ray Charles himself on the set giving you the real story
All or almost all of the voice tracks from the movie songs are dubbed with Ray's genuine voice, so the movie songs are equally as canon in Ray's discography as the performances in the clips from the 70s and 80s of him performing those songs on TV, which actually were performed later chronologically from the events in the film, which would've been pre-1960s, before he kicked the habit.
the thing is he always doing something different on live performance, and sometimes better than studio version.
Jamie Foxx can act. Jamie Foxx can sing. Jamie Foxx is a comedian. Diversely talented entertainers ever. I'd like to add that he's also my birthday twin. December 13th!!
Can you do the Temptations?
A perfect 10....it's scary but extraordinary and effortless amazing..
I think it's one of the best movies ever made. Kudos to all the actors and producers and everyone involved, especially Jamie Fox.
Jamie did such a spectacular job as Ray as well Chadwick Boseman as James Brown. When compared to Rami Malek as Mercury, that was a pretty poor performance, a caricature.
You are killing the game right now!!!! You are on a roll my friend!
thanks! ;)
I want your number your hot
Jamie Foxx was born to play Ray like he truly looks like a young Ray Charles
"Where can I get this record?
" I don't know. It doesn't exist yet. I'll tell Ray he should record it 🙂"
🤣
RIP Ray Charles🙏🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
No but he really became that man. This is uncanny.
Crazy that Jamie shot these scenes "blind" as well. 12-14 hour days with eye prosthetics so that he couldn't see.
I love this! Very enjoyable!!
Ray looks great here, no homo
2:04
Jamie Foxx was absolutely amazing in this movie. Definitely my favorite biopic!
ray was the man, true idol
He was perfect for this movie/ story 🗝
Wow!
Great work on this project!
I notice only one issue... young ray was more stiff on the rocking but older ray was more moving and Mr Fox was stiff on older but rocking on the younger but omg it was great movie on a great man.. preformed by another great man.... thank you for doing the movie

A few mins in I forgot which ear was Jamie and critiquing rays real performance like "yah that almost sound like him "
I need a documentary on this movie..Jamie is an absolute genius
Deve ter dado trabalho encontrar as gravações com o Ray Charles! Seu trabalho é espetacular. Parabéns!
valeu
I think that you don’t know that in the movie who was playing and singing was the same Ray Charles not the actor, that’s why the piano and voice is identical 😬😁💯👌🏽
Almost identical! Kinda spooky!
holy shit one earphone is ray the other ear is jamie
Actually its all Ray. 99% of all the vocals used for the movie were actually Ray.
God has truly Blessed this young man with a talent that goes beyond, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this and I did read a passage by Ray's son that stated that there were times that even he could not tell the difference between his father and Jamie Foxx.
Immaculate.
Jamie Foxx & Angela Bassett made 2 of the greatest biopics✨
Wylie Draper and Jason weaver as well
Jamie did a great job😊😊😊
Right speaker, Real Ray
