What a fantastic line-up, and what an incredible evening that must have been…soul at its best. In consecutive order:
Chrisette Michele – Caught Up In The Rapture of Love
Tamia – Giving You The Best That I Got
Faith Evans – No-One In The World
Kem and Rachelle Ferrell – Been So Long
Lalah Hathaway – Angel
Goapele and Dionne Farris – Same Ole Love
El Debarge – Sweet Love
Wow. I wish I had been there!!
Toni braxton should have been included
Could have so done without Kem’s interpretation of Anita’s songs. But
Rachelle slayed my life. Hard.
I love Dione Ferris and El Debarge
wow i love being black.lol
Tamia and Chrisette knocked it out of the park!
Tamia is perfection. Omg!
DOPE. all were dope.. now thats a tribute from some good live singers.
Tamia has perfect pitch. So underrated…what a beautiful voice she has…
Kem and Rachelle Ferrell was the best part. Just saying
El Debarge made me melt singing to Anita..Awesome singer.
This was perfection. i would love to see Rochelle in concert. Man…
Dionne Ferris is so slept on as a vocalist. Please don’t judge her based
off this small performance. She’s a wonderful singer. The only person I
didn’t care for and was disappointed in was Faith. Too much screaming
instead of SINGING.
Tribute To Anita Baker – Soul Train Awards 2010:
https://youtu.be/jt5eHXWz5DE
I’m convinced that Rachelle Ferrell is an X Man.
WTF WAS THAT I CAN WATCH THIS ALL DAY BABY BLACK PPL STAND UP
God damn, I think El Debarge got sexier as he got older!
No shade but I haven’t heard of half of these people.
Regardless, this was a good tribute
I loveeee Tamia and Rochelle wow wish I could sing lol
AWWWW. I love me some ANITA BAKER. THANKS TO MY DAD WHO INTRODUCED ME TO
HER SONGS VIA RADIO, AT AN YOUNG AGE. SOUNDS GOOD!
ANITA BAKER IS MY THROWBACK IDLE I LOVE EVERY SONG SHE’S MADE I THANK GOD
FOR EVERY DAY THAT I SEE BECAUSE I GOT SICK BUT BEFORE I GOT SICK I WAS
BLESSED WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND HIS BLESSING TO BRING ME OUT OF MY
ILLNESS I RECOVERED WITH ALL MY SENSES EXCEPT FOR MY VOICE AT FIRST I WAS
HIGHLY UPSET BUT THEN I REMEMBER MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD ME NEVER QUESTION GOD
SO AS I LISTEN TO EVERY SONG SHE MADE KNOWING I COULD SING EVERY SONG I
HEAR AT LEAST I CAN HEAR HER SING AND SHE’S AMAZING FOREVER ANITA BAKER
El Debarge @original panty dropper
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! You can tell Anita is really having a good time.
I love that Anita Baker is standing up and giving every performer love and
the “you do that thing” face with hands on hips and all. She reminds me of
my mother.
What a nice tribute! I love Anita Baker. Her voice is so sexy and sultry.
Now THIS is how you do a damn tribute! Loved every second of it.
Wow I loved each singer. My favorite was Rachel Farrell…omg
faith sounded winded and behind…. Tamia hands down was the best. for
mimic entertaining purposes toni braxton should have been included think
they have similar sounds and she would have killed it
MAN…THESE SINGERS WAS NAAAAASSSTY
loved it their voices all so unique. So beautiful.
Let’s go in order: The reality TV show that Chrissette is currently
featured on, puts her in another light, unfortunately, a light that seems
to outweigh her singing abilities to me, thus, I can’t judge her fairly on
singing anymore. So I won’t. Tamia: Sounded lovely, looked how you sounded
too. Love how you showcased your wedding ring at that point in the song
then winked to AB, cause she’s the one that reportedly introduced you to
your husband. Such a cool natural moment of gratitude. <3 , Faith: Now
Faith was on that reality TV show too, different city, but I met Faith and
she was so nice to me, that I think I may judge on that alone vs. the
singing sung here in the performance; so won't judge her here either.
Rashell Ferrell & Kem: Bravo! Always stellar performances wherever y'all
go, respectively or as a unit. Regal! Lalah Hataway: You not only made
Anita Baker proud here, but we're sure your father is smiling from the
heavens on you too. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Goapele & Dionne Ferris: Dope! Dionne, you look like you're cool to hang
out with. When Tupac mentioned you in an interview, how your music got him
through, we knew! You must be the truth!!! Mr. DeBarge, what can I say?
Legend in your own right. Ms. #AnitaBaker , well-deserved, this and so much
more. <3
Faith betta sang! Anita wasn’t ready for faith and I wasn’t either lol
um… did Faith have a sore throat or something
Faith Evans messed it up all off pitch
Who was singing with dionne ferris
I expected a little more from Goapele, cuz she can really sing. Dionne
Farris is so slept on though
El Debarge looked amazing.
Anita, PLEASE come back with new music…we need your excellence now!
Lalah, lalah, lalah……..yes maam!!!!!!
Wow! That was awesome. Anita has sooo many fantastic songs!!
Who is that chick singing with the “I love AB shirt on at 10:14??”
12:25 till the end of the song
Nuthin’ is comparable to Ms.Anita,this is amazing
The last two acts were the best. The rest didn’t do his songs justice.
No one did it like Layla!!!
Faith Evans did it for me!! Too underrated in my opinion, and of course the
love other ladies did well too!
I got chills hearing this song y’all, made me cry smh
Who is the woman in floral skirt/dress?
I have never heard about these talented women before watching the
tribute. I am surprised she is Canadian. She doesn’t get any
publicity worth her talent in her birth country. wtf!
Saw B Smith in the video. Prayers to her and family
Lalia Hathaway was terrible.. love her pop but she didn’t sound good and
she got a standing ovation…. everyone else was amazing
Wow Layla Hathaway though omg!
