TORONTO — Actor-singer Jamie Foxx says Paula Abdul's departure from "American Idol" is a "letdown."

Foxx was in Toronto yesterday for a concert in support of his new album, "Intuition."

He also appeared at the launch of the L-G Life's Good FilmFest.

In an interview, the Oscar winner, who mentored contestants on "Idol" last season, said he felt "hurt" when he heard Abdul quit the show last week.

Foxx added Abdul brought a special sensibility to the series and he'll miss her.

Foxx's Toronto concert was his only scheduled Canadian stop on "The Blame It Tour."
