ARE YOU KIDDING ME.. TAMIA IS A TRUE SINGER.. One of the few left!

[TheBassplayah]

Tamia aint no Anita nonetheless.....Im disappointed that I cant find this tune by Ms Baker on the tube....Its just not as warm and soothing, no how....

[thickjawn880]

[solidboi87]

I really wish the VOLUME was HELLA LOUDER because she did a really good job on this tribute!

[fmikki16]

[JudeSantana]

[Sunshinesimmons]

umm ppl are saying they had a problem with thet way she sung some parts. well considering she is CANADIAN she isnt going to speak ENGLISH as if she was american. she sung the h e double noccey sticcs out of this song. one of my favs from anita and only befittig since anita introduced tamia n grant.

[frsh6272]

@Sunshinesimmons She sounded really good to me, that's why I am listening to it for the umpteenth time.lol

[JBlair1990]

i love this song, tamia did it justice beyond words

[ttwhitlock]

Anita Baker is actually the one who introduced Tamia to her husband Grant Hill... fitting that she would sing this song in tribute to her.

[sh8itez]

[kimkeys2]

[BuyThisHere]

Love this

[moe440]

She is beautiful to watch and to listen to. Just amazing.

[legomanII916]

OMGGGGOODNESS Tamia singing an Anita Baker classic can it really get any better?

[blkbuttahflyy]

Her tone is so distinct and her elocution (sp) is superior ! I love her voice, Toni Braxton couldn't have done this.

[wishywashygirl19]

I love her version but i just love anita baker its like toni braxton deep and soulful. Her songs are full much passion i really the music.

[123shawntae]

Tamia is my favorite singer ever!!!.. Please come out with another album, your fans miss you :)

[solidboi87]

Tamia is a LEGEND in my eyes! Her LIVE vocals are better than her studio-recorded vocals and she has a voice like no other with so much SOFTNESS yet she has can BLOW with so much SOUL when the time comes. I Love Anita as well!

[Mobee211]

Good. But the strength behind the vocals and the passion is not there. Anita forever!

[solidboi87]

@Mobee211 If you can't feel thet passion in Tamia's voice , I dont know what to say. lol The audience felt it but better yet, ANiTA felt it; thats why she raised her hand & her eyes were watering when Tamia sang. No hate though Sir.

[BrightRainbow28]

Tamia really did the damn thing.

[tbomar1991]

those are real singers..thats real music lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee you guys

[iluvlycheenuts]

I read the comments before viewing & was anxious to hear Tamia sing one of my favs by Anita. No doubt Tamia has a beautiful voice, but the performance didn't move me like I thought it would. And I'm mad at her pronunciation of forever (forevuuuuuur) @ 1:30. Not sure why she did that. But, I love the passion in her voice. She always sings from her heart. She doesn't sound like Gloria Estefan, but she reminds me of her with the way she approaches some of her songs.

[COURTNEYSTEELE23]

SHE SONG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS SONG;))))))

[nickg2779]

Tamia should realli do more tours! I would pay to go see her like 3 times in a row!!!

[muzikmajor84]

GREAT JOB MRS HILL

[LeeSeRbABy]

Best part is "I bet everything, on my wedding ring" since Anita introduced her to he husband .. !!

[northofhome28]

tamia did ok, she tried to sing the song just like anita did. she didnt add anything of herself and she made to the last steps and stood there like a statue.

[TJ06Jackson]

its a shame the most underrated singers today are the most talented

[TheLove2LaughGURL]

My daddy named me after tamia! lol i love havinqq that nameee!! haha

[DaAttorney2009]

Where is she??? OMG I have listened to this like 8 times and I love her! Tamia did that! HANDS DOWN BEST part of the tribute! She tore it up!

[Lcd4lbad]

OMG you killed it Tamia!!! I love love love it!!! Like the girl said at :25 "Sang girl!!!"

Tamia was the best!!!

ps. I didnt know that Anita introduced her to Grant Hill! But when I saw this...I put it on my Epic phone...and I play it over and over when I work out because it just sends energy thru my body!

[solidboi87]

TAMiA is my favorite female artist. SHE IS A VOCAL BEAST! SO TALENTED!

[muzikmajor84]

@solidboi87  TRU TALENT

[jiztel]

MAn when Ifirst saw this, I put it on my IPOD, video and audio!! I LOVE THIS WHOLE SEGMENT! BUT TAMIA WAS JUST SIMPLY THE BEST!! SHE KILLED THIS!!! JUSTICE!!! A+++

[simo206]

I would hate to sing after Tamia. She rocked my favorite Anita song like no other.

[meg5taft]

Tamia is one of the most underrated singers in the music industry and she should deserves much more recognition. This is true talent!

[meg5taft]

Tamia is one of the most underrated singers in the music industry. This is true talent!

[ucanhaveacokeshow]

so underrated

[kokany15]

Tamia KILLED it. Loved loved loved seeing her again. Can't wait to hear some new material.

[MEISHA78]

I was really happy to see Tamia, and the bonus was the a much anticipated and deserved tribute to Anita Baker

[acuradan623]

grant hill a lucky man....tamia is looking better than ever and the voice of an angel....love her

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

Love you, Tamia!!!

[dayshjorah]

Yes. TAMIA

As u can see your FANS are still here

Cant wait for the new album. Love u girl

[yaletharebel]

She's most def over looked. Even sometimes by me cause she nvr records

[MrFlaLove]

People talk about sleeping on her all the time but honestly she makes more money off her sales that shes independent and owns her own label. I met her in Orlando in 07 when between friends came out and she was soooooooooo down to earth and stopped what she was doing to tell me high and give me a hug. GREAT ARTIST

[imahooligan707]

man i love her fa dis she so fuckn badddddd wit them sexy ass vocals!!!!

[taragirlmusic26]

She killed it! Definitely one of the highlights of the entire tribute. Tamia's voice has the perfect tone for this song. G'on girl! Look and sound fantastic xoxo

[mj23cats]

My favorite part of the tribute. She really needs to record some music. Her voice is in tip-top shape and girl can sang!

[jellygurl27]

wonderful!!!!

[joijoi242]

She did justice to the song! Great job!!!!!!!!!

[TheLadyC224]

Did i mention how much I love her!!!! :) my wedding is going to be full of her songs, like a never ending story. :)

[TheLadyC224]

I love he and I was too tickled with the ring and wink thing. I love her, and this is so not her best live performance, I think she was totally chilling on this performance,and still was on point, I don't think she likes to show off, she avoids the lime light herself, she's content with her career, I wld love to meet her, she's the greatest.

[zeekie54]

@TheLadyC224 i knew i wasnt the only one who saw that wink... my sis gon tell me i was tripping...lol

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

@TheLadyC224 I agree with you. And that ring and wink thing was 'cause Anita introduced Tamia to the man that is now her husband.

[10soulgrl]

I love 1:11 -1:14 get it girl!!!! please come back Tamia.

[philworth1]

not a big fan of anita, so prefer this version - pretty flawless live vocal, shame audio and video not in sync :(

[Thkmra]

@philworth1 What!! How are you NOT a fan of Anita's, but you like this version, which for all it's excellence, is still a cheap copy compared to the original???...Stop it!!

[philworth1]

@Thkmra tried Anita many years ago and her voice just not to my taste. It's easier to like a cover if you don't know the original. I get cross if I hear a cover that faithfully reproduces the original - what's the point other than a display of technical ability when you'd be more impressed with a creative/artistic interpretation???

[Lcd4lbad]

@philworth1 Those who are a fan of Anita's and particularly THIS SONG....loved how Tamia rocked this! She did it justice forreal! I listen to this song by Anita all the time! So when I heard this...I was like oh yea...GO GIRL!! I was literally yelling it at the TV! And Im sure many others was! Even someone in the audience yells out SANG GIRL!!! Its like, she straight KILLED IT!! Period!

[LibbyFiasco]

i need this! 

[ZPilar]

are you kidding!? Tamia is a BEAST! get it!!!!

[moneshia1983]

man i love her she did an wonderful job!!!!

[MyRriley]

@Atl404sFinest I definitely agree with you. This was the best performance I've seen by her, and I've seen her live before.

[Atl404sFinest]

She sounded so buttery and bright. Makes me really appreciate Tamia more!

[WhoIsChiJoseph]

I wish people stop sleeping on tamia

[BillyBob313404]

Shes always been so beautiful and talented..I thought that was the formula for success (beyonce, alicia keys, etc)... don't understand why after all these yrs she still doesn't get the recognition she deserves..

[teammonica1]

Yes tamia ...

[MusicLove623]

i need the audio of this for my ipod. she killed it

[NettieSmith1]

@MusicLove623 i can email you the audio, if you message me your email.

[Lcd4lbad]

@MusicLove623 You need the video! I downloaded the video to my Samsung Epic! Play it all day every day!!!

[tagirl25]

Just beautiful. But that's Tamia for you.

[QueenB951]

It Upsets Me That There Are Such Things As Beyonce& Other Ppl Standing Where They At When You Have Such Talent Like Tamia.. I Love You Tamia !

[SVULAWYER]

Tamia really did this song justice!

[danceboy314]

Vocally flawless and my favorite of all the singers paying tribute. I would love to hear Tamia record this in the studio. Mmm. Side note-did anyone else notice she sang "calm this lonely sea" instead of "calm this stormy sea"? Just goes to show how crazy of an Anita Baker fan I am. LOL! Eh... no mind. Small mistake during an incredible performance! Great job.

[SparkMyWorld]

Anita paired Tamia and Grant Hill together.

[1agaston]

I love when she puts up her wedding ring and winks!

lol

I love that Anita Baker hooker her and Grant Hill up~

too cute

[35moni]

Loving ths. U did a wonderful job.

[pnuffsaid]

An Anita Baker tribute...It's about time!!! Great job Tamia!!!

[teammonica1]

i love TAMIA

Cmon with a ALBUM..

R&B NEED'S YOU AGAIN ..

[bigshel99]

@teammonica1 I believe she's working on a new one... Spring of 2011... can't wait.

[WhatsUpWithGORDIE]

One of my All time Fave songs...and what a treat to hear you sing this Tamia!

I reallu loved the expression on Anita's face when you were singing!!

I Love This!!

[rh608]

Sing Tamia!! You are always great!!
