From crooning 'Who Let the Dogs Out' as a Broadway musical tune to giving Rihanna's hit an opera makeover, Jamie Foxx took singing to a new level.

The 49-year-old Oscar winner joined Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' and played a round of the show's signature Musical Genre Challenge, wherein each player hits a button and is given a musical prompt containing a song and the style they have to sing it in.

The challenge started with Fallon taking on The Weeknd's hit track 'Can't Feel My Face' as a 50s crooner, followed by the 'Django Unchained' star turning the 2000 classic 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' by Baha Men into a Broadway tune.

After Fox handled it like a pro by completing it with a monologue and plot surprise, Fallon quipped, "Jamie, I don't know how you're going to do this."

The host then pulled off Migos' 'Bad and Boujee' with a '60s rock backdrop with backup vocals from his guest.

As the grand finale, the 'Robin Hood' actor turned Rihanna's 'B**ch Better Have My Money' into an opera performance and nailed it.
