Jamie Foxx wants "dirty up" 'American Idol'.

The Oscar-winning star is obsessed with the singing talent contest, but he would like to appear on the TV show and make it less "clean".

Jamie said: "I absolutely love 'American Idol'. If I was on it, I'd do 50 Cent's 'In Da Club', because I'd love to see that crowd rock. Normally it's so clean with all that 'Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong' stuff. I want to dirty it up."

Jamie also revealed he was completely star struck when he met musical legend Prince.

He said: "I've always loved Prince's music. So when I got a chance to meet him, I said a whole bunch of dumb s**t, like going on about how great he was. It was so embarrassing, man!"

The 39-year-old singer-and-actor recently confessed he is worried people are getting sick of him.

He said: "I do feel I need to get out the way of people. Especially with the internet now, you're always in somebody's face so you have to go back and get out of the way a little bit.

"I was sitting in a comedy club and this one comic, Paul Mooney, made a joke about me. He said, 'I'm so sick of seeing Jamie Foxx everywhere. He's singing, he's dancing, I looked on my driving licence and his photo was on my licence.'

"When they're telling jokes about you, you start to think, 'Well, maybe I need to sit down.' "
