Review of Beat Shazam

The show is a lot of fun to watch, especially the first season. The second and epsecially the third seasons have felt more stereotypical. Jamie Foxx is entertaining as you would expect but comes off as not necessarily racist (doubt it with how many people he's acted with) but a little too pro African-American on a show based on an App and the biggest hits in music. They tend to play Rap, R&B, Disco and Mowtown quite a bit. They tend to be directed towards African-Americans and even Pop Divas genre does sometimes. I like some of the music in those genres but some more rock and country music would be welcome and I only like country music from the 90's and early 2000's. Just a better variety I'm saying. The categories are similar on most of the episodes this current season. Jamie tends to play around, dance and have fun with any R&B or similar songs but quickly goes through any occasional songs of other genres, either seeming like he doesn't know the song or even makes fun of it. Not sure if it's him or if it's forced. There's also always an African-American or Gay couple on the show. There's only 3 teams of 2 so I mean it obviously has to be picked that way. I'm all for diversity but it feels forced on this show which in my opinion is a slap in the face to certain races and gays because it's almost like it has to intentionally be televised on certain shows. Rather than it happening naturally and being accepted as normal. That just bothers me but rant over. Regardless there is still good music on the show. It can be pretty funny at times. Jamie Foxx's daughter plays the songs on the show for the last 2 seasons now and she's great, also great chemistry on the show with her father. You can even play along in the app for a chance to win $10,000 although it was kind of tough to beat the contestants, more due to them being there and having the large buttons in front of them. Give the show a try if you love music and if you're a Jamie Foxx fan. There were a few celebrity appearances as well but they seem to have stopped that on season 3.
