  • i hope she sings for ever-she is the real true deal

  • This is made my day. I love her voice. Its makes me smile

  • I honestly feel like I'm her #1 FAN! haha... but I can't wait for her album to drop this year! I heard she is dropping a NEW album this year (fall) so I look forward to it!...

  • Pure Heaven!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I keep replaying that part over and over!! *singing* Been So loonnnggg!!!

  • I love the Cover of Been So Long!!! That is my shit!!!

  • Somebody PLEASE tell me whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy this girl aint never won no gramy i always loved her music this girl is bad only God knows why maybe she should be ministering the word through music cause she has a girt from God she wasent taught to sing  thats a Gift

  • I wish they had let her sing "been so long" at the soul train awards tribute to anita baker she sings the hell outta that song.

  • @shantbe i AGREE Tamia did so well on the tribute to Anita Baker & Kem & Rachelle did well with" Been So Long' BUT I LOVE TAMiA SO MUCH & Wish she had sang it...

  • thia is SANGIN!!! love her

  • Tamia ain't no jooke...ppl be sleeping on her

  • Dayum, she killed it again!

  • She Killed That Anita Cover !!

    Im Sure Anita Was Somewhere In Detroit, Snappinq Her Finqers & Sinqinq Alonq.

    I Knoe Tamia Made Anita Proud.

  • I remember hearing this on the radio and going crazy.....She tore "BSL" up!

  • Beyonce is awesome as well.  Why does everyone campare Beyonce. Just let them all be great at what they do.

  • @TheEhinton

    sorry to break it to you but beyonce can't sing for shit...sorry.

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TT!!!!!!!! this is what you call a SINGER!!!!!!!!! #LoveTT @youngDYCE

  • Man, had to look this up again, she absolutely demolished "Been So Long." Makes no sense. Lol. And stop throwing dirt at Beyonce to uplift someone else. Is it Beyonce's responsibilty to lift up an artist to where you think they should be, or is she holding any other artist down? The answer is no, so stop coming for her. If you want to blame someone for great artists like Tamia being underappreciated, point the finger at people buying bootleg and illegal downloaders and people who never buy cds.

  • @Impulsensx My fav female singer is Tamia... and i love your response to the Beyonce thing. I dont like when people try to compare vocals to sucess! Thats something you cant do!!!

  • OMFG SHE IS TRULY MY FAVORITE SINGER!!!!! I LOVE HER.

  • It don't make no sense at all that she is not considered one of the all time great. This is real singing!!!

  • I'm concerned about the people who gave this a thumbs down. I'm worried about your mental state. You clearly can't tell real talent when you hear it. this is what singing is.

  • one of the best voices all over the world

  • Words can not begin to express my feelings for this woman. I mean her voice is so priceless, wow, just wow, thats about as much as I can say to explain it. Nothing out there like this, keep doing your thing Ms. Hill! I dont want to die, but I would love to have that voice LOL! MarVlous

  • She is an amaziing singer =) ilove her!

  • Comment removed

  • She has the voice of an Angel.

  • I LOVE this girl!!!!  She can sing like no other!!!! "Me" is absolutely wonderful!!

  • I listen to this all the time. I am ready for a new album.

  • yea, im with you

  • Absolutely effortless! Puts the likes of Beyonce to SHAME!!!! Tamia is in the leagues with Whitney and Mariah! True effortless talent! Amazing!

  • I agree with you 100% . Its a shame because the younger generation doesn't know about Tamia and how talented she is. When I mention young I'm saying 18 and younger b'c most in that age group prfer to listen to Beyonce and the other new 'singers' - I'm using this term VERY loosely. Tamia is "SANGING !" Her Tamia , Deborah Cox and Kelly Price are REAL R&B singers whose talent is just as outstanding as the way they look and carry themselves, which is rare...THANK GOODNESS 3 of them formed a group.

  • @capricorndrbird I'm 18 and well aware of Tamia's talents. I'm not concerned with Beyonce and the rest of these so-called singers.

  • I know what you are saying but I was making the point that people born after the 80s may not pay too much attention to artists like Tamia and Chante' Moore - singers who were at their debut before someone who may be 18 or younger may not know too much about. But its all human nature because whatever's popular that is what most people go with, especially in music taste.

  • That on-the-spot rendition of "Me" was beautiful; that brought tears to my eyes!

  • beautiful

  • wtf?!?!

    beautiful

    i had no idea she sings like this.

  • I LOVE YOU TAMIA!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!

  • So under rated she is amazing!!!!!!

  • Beyonce aint got $h1t on Tamia!!!!!

  • @nolablu come on now...i agree Tamia is a beast....but Beyonce can hang with her...but i will admit to the fact that Tamia's tone is better than Beyonce's...but as far as range and technique....i think they are neck and neck.....Tamia's neck might be a little be longer lol....just a little

  • @twanbiz2 You a stan if you even think Beyonce is in the same class.

  • I love her voice!

  • pure talent she should be where beyonce is status wise

  • she does... lol... damn

  • LOL: "I'm convinced, I ain't worth a damn"

  • Rite.. No one can touch her PURE voice.... thnk u for askin that

  • She's amazing!

  • True singers give you chills when they sing.

  • why she gotta be a heffa?why not a talented woman?

  • Steve Harvey made a joke about that line on the first part. He said "In the words of my Aunt Adelle--God rest her soul--'This heffa can saaaaaang.'"

  • Thanks....I wrote that before I heard the entire clip.

  • One of the purest voices...just on a dime ya'll ...no mixing,editing...I think we get so excited about this level of vocalist because we are so deprived...down with Main Stream Radio !

  • She and Chante Moore are the best new school SINGERS...and I emphasize SINGERS. Ummm...and I'm hating on Mr. Tamia (Grant Hill).

  • Tamia is the epitome of a true singer. This woman has a phenomenal voice. I absolutely love her voice and "Me" is one of my favorite Tamia songs.

  • maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn

    this girl got TALENT. I'm loving it. Love her singing my girl Anita.

    Grant Hill better watch his back for real... lol

  • She is  underrated. She has more talent than majority of the popular sings out now.

  • "I realize I ain't worth a damn", Steve is hilarious...Tamia is like the BEST singer but the most under rated I don't understand...

  • @musicstar1987 "I'm confinced I ain't worth a damn." That's not Steve, it's Nephew Tommy. I agree, she is so underrated.

  • she did that so beautifully!!! amazing!!!

  • Tamia is just SICK!! Her voice is perfect!She is sooooooooooo underrated its a shame!!! Between friends is hot to death!!!

  • pitch perfect

  • she needs to cover Been So Long on her next album

  • This girl can "SANG" and she fine "she has never had a ciggarette around her" LOL

  • damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!she is amazing

  • Yes she can!! Love her version of "Been So Long".

  • "Im convinced I aint worth a damn, I need to do something with my life."

    LOL

  • TAMIA!!!!! that was beautiful sweetie

  • One word: amazing!

  • Mya, Ashanti, Rihanna and Amerie need to pay attention because this is a real singer.

  • What's wrong with Amerie?

  • You know what....she did that I am not mad at her!!Blessed!!

  • That Heffa can sing!! LOL!!!!

  • Oh my goodness, Tamia's rendition of Anita Baker's Missing You Baby, was powerfully moving. I'd be the first in line if she did an album covering Anita Baker classic. Blown away!

  • i totally agree with you she has a god given talent that gives me goose bumps my god your great Tamia

  • wow!!! i love her anita baker and that's 1 of my favorite songs!! too bad steve harvey came on when i was at school, but now that i graduated high school i'm going to make i sure i start listening to the steve harvey show

  • She is 1 of the best singers hands down

  • She was amazing!!!

  • Love her!!!! She is best Im sooo mad she cancelled her show with babyface here in san diego! My favorite singer hands down! Keep doing yout thang tamia. Congrats again on the new baby.

  • wow, i'm not alone... i hear this almost eveyday... she gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME....

  • me too....i saved it as a favorite and play almost EVERY day. I just cant get enough of it. She is sooooo talented!

  • I've listened to this interview about 500 times. I never get tired of it. She is the truth. Her voice is pure.

  • OMG I am going to the one in New York tonight and can't wait.

  • Nice? isn't the word one would use to describe what we just heard. Reaching? come on get the lemons out of your mouth superhead. I think what everyone means is that her version sounds current and fresh. Nothing is better than the original but she compliments it nicely paying homage to it and bringing no disservice. Tamia sounds the same live or on record a flawless pitch perfect vocal with a hint of vulnerability.

  • It was nice,but better than anita.Your reaching dear..

  • I was trying to think of a word that describes her voice. Effortless, flawless, pure, and beautiful have all been used. I'll use athletic. Her voice is like a Michael Jordan dunk. It's smooth and powerful at the same time. There's no wasted motion, just simple, efficient artistry. And just like his dunks, when I hear her voice, all I cand do is just shake my head and say, "Damn."

  • She TORE UP "Been So Long." Pitch perfect and sang every lyric on-point. I need her to remake this.

  • what is that anita baker song she did.

  • You are so right. I know Tamia's family that lived here in new orleans. I told her uncle that she needed to remake "been so long" and he agreed. He said she has created such a buzz ever since she performed this. Sh did a better job than anita. A singer myslef, I know the difference between singing and sanging and Tamia is the "real deal"

  • I live in New Orleans too. I agree that Tamia did a great cover of this song. However, it is nowhere near the seduction in Anita's voice but a great COVER.

  • THANK YOU!

  • 2:15 is absolutely haunting......her voice is so expressive and true!

  • I got chills..

  • This is why she is one of my favorites...simply said.

  • OK I probably viewed this 64,000 times out of the 64,516 current views...love this...and she inspired me to sing both of these songs...thank u Mia..."

    "I wanna die and come back heart"....Tommy stupid! lolol

  • Actuallt tommie said"....and come back her" but I viewed this quite a few times myself. I met her,grant and Anita before.

  • got damn dat hefa make me sik

    she kno she can sang

  • Can I get a copy of the whole interview?

  • Me is the Bomb!

  • Damn she sounds simply amazing!!!

  • Her voice is so amazing!! She is so not playing with her skills!!

  • Flawless, Effortless and so Underated!!!!!

  • Tamia is the best singer today. No one can sing flawlessly like she can and do it live too! Tamia you are #1!!!!!!!!

  • 'been so long'

  • God, she's a pure talent. Just like you Sasslove, I can't help shaking my head and having tears coming up. The fact that she's not selling millions of album like, Beyonce, Rihanna and co show how tasteless and misled people can be these days about music.

  • I'm just over here shaking my head!!!!!!!!!!! Because that's all I can do...."Been So Long"...I would've had that background for her...

  • damn if i had that girls voice i'd never shut up!

  • That's exactly what I've said for so long!!

  • heifer is BAD!!!!!

  • I heard Tamia on the Steve Harvey show live last year. I'm still in awe of how beautiful her voice is. Its even better live. Her album is greatttttt!!!!

  • 06:01 how the heck are you suppose to come in after hearing that. It's best if you just shut up and let thr pro continue with her singing.

  • GET IN HWHERE??!! lol

  • the only album i've heard of heres in entirety was her first, now i NEED all the others, ive loved her singles since dont get me wrong but i usually dont buy RnB that much... but with all these effortless performances she sold it, to me at least

  • I had to respond again. This girl is Baaaaaad to the bone.I have an artist that I just signed "Tawain" that reminds me of Tamia go to otto_lewis @ myspace and have a listen to her new song gone and let me know what you think. I arranged the song.

  • Been so long - Anita Baker

  • what's the name of the anita b. song?

  • She doesn't have a voice. She has an instrument.

  • Whe I tell you!!!! Her ablum is the TRUTH!!! Wonderful!!! Highly recommended!

  • My god that was beautiful!! love that song!!

  • i have all her cd's and truth be told i'll support ANYTHING she puts out because i love her voice so damn much!

  • She's the definition of flawless

  • I have such a huge girl crush on Tamia. She can do no wrong. She is sweet, humble and beautiful. Grant Hill is only lucky guy!

    I LOVE YOU TAMIA!!

  • i have to agree with u jarvis863 she does not gets as much credit as she deserves

  • You are right and I sure hope that everyone who loves her buys her cds because they are all classics. I even pre-ordered her new Christmas cd because she is such an amazing vocalist.

  • I had the chance to meet and sing for Tamia back in '98 at q-93 fm here in New Orleans. She said,"you have a voice that the world needs to here". I have since gone on to write and produce songs for others. I am constantly looking for Talent, but I keep looking for the next Tamia because when she sings I get goosebumps.

  • The best voice, hands down!

  • Record labels why are yall letting this talent slip by like that, i don't think yall know just how much money yall could be making off this raw, talented woman ...

  • Check out how fluidly she picks up and sings Anita Baker's song off the cuff. Tell me she doesn't sound as good as Anita. This sistah is the unreal vocally.

  • Yeah I know.

  • As talented as this beautiful woman is I'll never understand how come she isn't huge. She should get more recognition.

  • I'd love to be in her presence

  • I love her CD between the friends. You go girl!!! U have great control. Keep doin ur thang!!

  • : - )

  • :-)

  • love this :) love tamia

  • A TRUE TALENT!!!!

  • Tamia can blow!

    Steve Harvey is Hilarious too......Had my laughing straight through the show.

  • she is such a beautiful singer

  • wow!!!

  • siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing girl sang it !

  • I want Tamia to put her tribute of Anita Baker on CD. I am in love with that part of the show. I have been listening to it over and over and have yet to get tired of hearing Tamia sing. She is AMAZING!!!!!

  • you gotta understand that people are fed up with b cause she is overexposed and overpaid.even buisnesswise she is over marketed.she is killing her own career.people are not stupid and can decide if they want to c somebody 20times a day on the radio,on the internet,on tv and on every street...cant u understand?
