World...this Lady is a daimond! Anita is pure talent; so great in all her performances and always singing from her heart. One of the greatest vocalist the world has seen and definitely the best RnB singer on US soil.
Anita definitely made this song her own! It sounds different enough to represent her own unique style, but similar enough so you can recognize that her rendition is a cover. This is a sign of a true artist! And I must admit, I like this version better than the original-no disrespect to U2 or Mary, because I loved their version as well.
She really SHOULD cut this track, or allow them to place THIS EXACT version on a cd. I love both versions. But she does a very personal version. It is her own version. It is completely different. Very "gospelish" like her particular style. It is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Hats off Ms. Baker.
@trebleclef121 This Beautiful Lady, clearly, let's her soul, heart and body sing any song that she sings. She made it her own, personalized it, and effectively communicated it musically in her own true, Anita Baker style. Just my opinion!
Its not about which version is better popioplop. Anita put her own unique spin on a great song. Comparing Anita's style to U2 is like comparing Obama and G.W. Bush. Beautiful music is what it is, beautiful music.
Love Mary at 1:20. So honest with her feelings. She is my favorite artist. There she seems to be a fan... one musician appreciating the extreme skills of a greater one. 2:30 holding back tears.
And this is the difference between a Whitney Houston, Anita Baker and a Mar J. Blige or Beyonce...trained singers with church n gospel roots will make a song their own...U HAVE BEEN SCHOOLED by da best.
I dropped my bag of Doritos and my beer right on my living room floor when Anita Killed this song. i had never heard it, but the words hit home, and just seeing Anita at her best after going without hearing from her for so long. i had to jump up and clap like i was in the audeience.
Anita Baker.....such a classy lady with an amazing voice! Mary J has come a long way......she looks very beautiful and classy; I'm so glad to see her happy and enjoying life with her loving husband:)
I beWEAV573 that there's no way ANYONE can say Anita ruined a song that brought the whole crowd to their feet and the honoree Mary J Blige to TEARS!!! Sing Anita! Sing!!!
I dont know, i cant explain, this woman...My God, she gives me goose pimples, makes me laugh and cry at the same time...speechless. amazing, does any of this makes sense...this woman...my God. Thank you for her.
Can somebody pass me a couple of tissues....I'll be alright. This is such an inspirational year and this is just the beginning! Do what he sent you to do.....what a powerful verse!
the most inspiring tribute ever....i'm a big MJB fan, and after watching this I went to Amazon and bought everything that Ms. Anita Baker has ever released.
This was one of the greatest live national tv performances of ALL TIME! Truth be told, Anita should have been honored a long time ago, and to humble herself and honor someone that she helped pave the way for without achieving her own just due speaks to the kind of person she is...
My God King you're so right. Anita is my ultimate, most incredible artist. She's been in the shadows and folks sleep on her often. I have to say that she's still iconic and legend in her on right. All you have to say is "Anita" and we know who you're talking about.
Anita ruined it? GURL BYE! Anytime you can turn this into a SPIRITUAL SONG * not soul* then you are a BAD SISTER/BROTHER. DAYUM dont we need more songs like this? Anyway........see you on JUDGEMENT DAY and not a day before.
simply google a youtube to mp3 downloader :-)
