[cuebrod]

[AlbertaZanoah]

I love them all....,

[Nelly0523]

i always love to hear Lalah Hathaway sing pure talent, her voice is so silky smooth. Tamia even did a good job and dionne farris she blew it away. I grew up on Anita Baker it her tribute was well deserved.

[beautifulyou30]

to me this was the best tribute that i have ever seen. Ms. Anita Baker is so deserving of it she was so full of joy and pride everyone did an outstanding job.

[JoyniquaHall]

lalah is effortless is just natural

[irishsetterarchie]

Anita will always be my favorite female vocalist! I've been around awhile so that 's saying a lot I know because there are so many great ones. I grew up south of Detroit. I used to run home from school to watch "American Bandstand" and I really loved "SoulTrain"! Years later following a divorse, starting over in my late 30's..along came Anita and she blew me away!! She still does! Three words, TALENT, PASSION & HEART. God bless her and that little foot she loves to tap with!! Great Tribute Show!

[Missattitude0585]

amazing voices from everyone, anita baker is one of my favorite singers

[brentduanefoster]

I tell ya, I was lovin' it when Anita came out dancing when El DeBarge was singing "Sweet Love". Anita loves music, there's no denying that.

[1977icecream]

Lalah Can Sang....

[saxdrumbassmaster93]

Rachelle Ferrell, Lalah Hathaway and Dionne Farris did it for me.... I went in on that

[803momof2boysz]

I loved this tribute! They all killed! But, Dionne Farris really made me feel it!

[seneca21sexy]

Chrisette Michele!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jpsalinas77]

who is that at 9:30 - 9:33?

[mspeaches73]

@jpsalinas77 Chante Moore. She is married to Kenny Latimore and was in that song with R. Kelly and Ron Isley

[fradaja]

anita killed it!

[myfathersprincess]

Tyler Perry was looking at Rachelle like hmmm how can I get her for my next play!! She's got pipes!!

[lukendom]

i see a lot of love for different artists here which is nice to see .... but not much about chrisette michelle and faith evans ... don't neglect them, they sang the hell out of both their songs

but i loved lalah and dionne the most .... lalah's voice just does something to me

people say this/last generation doesnt have talent ... just coz it ain't in the charts, doesnt mean there isn't talent out there

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

@lukendom Don't forget Rachelle! She tore the stage awwwwlll the way up.

[Rejoripity]

@lukendom Right. Ya gotta look beyond those pesky charts. All of these Women did a great job.... and they are from this generation.

[noahsarcooo]

[shardtx]

Dead @ 8:33.. 'Hoooold Me Neaarrrr..' that was a SNEAKY run by Lalah.

[Jenenemitch]

This tribute did Anita justice. The tribute to patti was horrible

[kballin01]

Anita Baker introduced Tamia to Grant Hill.

[bendicio2]

Rachelle took over lol poor Kem

[bendicio2]

I love that they used Tamia... GET IT

[amdlincoln]

This tribute was amazing all around!!!

[TYKIAVANN]

favorite tribute ever.. I love Anita.. everyone was good.. Real music and real singers

[brandenmcghee]

India Arie was about to catch the Hoy Ghost at 7:49

[moaynay]

Love love love the 2 dislikes have no idea about real music....

[MrAlex3132003]

Do u all agree that the female before El Debarge looked exactly like Anita???

[SoileauFamily]

Tamia's voice flowed like a bird it was beautiful and I agree, everyone song the perfect song for their voice. Tamia is a huge fan of Anita so i thought it was beautiful that she got to sing for her idol

[tatade]

Há vários dias venho assistir a este magnífico espetáculo ... não me canso de escutar ... MUITO BOM!!!

[SimplyUndeniable]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tribute! Tamia, Goapple, Dionne Ferris, Faith & Lalah Hathaway sang! Chrisette Michele.. classic as always. Kem & Rachelle Ferrell got down with the scatting!

[DaHottz]

The Best tribute I've seen on any of the Divas thus far.

[solidboi87]

TAMiA can SANG!!!...

[momusic0408]

Sing girl

[MiamiChicky]

Tamia's voice is magical and could you have imagined if Toni Braxton had sang Body & Soul.

[beautifulyou30]

@MiamiChicky yes toni singing body and soul wow that would have been real hot

[MsAdry58]

amazing! fantastic! I love it so much...and i adore Anita too...THX

[ecerren31]

This is a Tribute....I love this seriously..

[Honeyroastedalmond]

@AnnaNeemus that gorgeous woman is B. Smith. She is a restaurateur and she was a model back in the day:-)

[omooyaobatala]

The person who said ferris wheel & guacamole...LMAO!!!

[omooyaobatala]

Thank you for posting this 'cause this had all my alive favs! Sheesh!!! Where da heck was l!? Some surprises & some expected. Kudos for whomever all coordinated all those talented voices!!!

[kikibabiful]

Its Lahla Hathaway

[Cmar102]

These divas & king can sing, I like Tamia's tribute. & I like the part they showin Anita on SOul Train back in the 80s.They doin her 80s # 1 hits.

[AnnaNeemus]

Who's the woman at 8:54? She's gorgeous.

[kitwkiesha]

@AnnaNeemus That's Donnie Hathaway's daughter, Laila Hathaway. (Not sure of the spelling of her first name)

[AnnaNeemus]

@kitwkiesha Thank you for answering, but I meant the woman in the audience with locs, not the singer. I should've said that more clearly.

[BriBThizzin]

@kitwkiesha its spelled Lalah Hathaway lol i love her to pieces!!!!!

[megnasty06]

at work and blasting this WAS THE BEST!?!? THE BEST!?!? i cant wait for this year for earth wind and FIRE!?!



[ericpancho]

That two people (probably men) who hit dislike MUST be some 40 year old nerds who sit at home looking at cartoons and NEVER had a woman in their lives to make love to this classy lady's music. SAD CASES!!!

[rlturner001]

FAITH MURDERED IN 28 SECONDS!

[tatonka7214]

@scandalousbeauty im with u. It never gets old

[noahsarcooo]

Faith Evans makes the song sound so real...so fresh and so passionate...Faith is one of the most underrated artists ever...the selection of performers is fantastic...all of them legends in their own right!

[csept]

This was the most beautiful tribute I've seen to date and Anita so richly deserves it. Whoever planned it, was on point! And might I say, they got some REAL SANGERS, I MEAN SOME REAL SANGERS, NOT SINGERS!!! Not this crap that's being played on the radio today...they don't make them like this no more!!!

[heemitaptap]

Hathaway all damn day...........

[dlastqueen]

@heemitaptap AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! Then they brought El Debarge...icing on the cake!!1

[latinajones25]

Tamia song her ass off !!

[whatigottasay]

Um They coulda kept E'RRYBODY except Kem, Rachelle & Lalah. They actually took the songs somewhere different. Tamia sounded pretty so she gets the 4th prize BUT LALAH KILLED!!! Whew she is amazing! I ain't gon even address that Ferris Wheel & Guacamole foolishness at the end! -_- FOOLISHNESS smh

[ty2rg]

@whatigottasay Lalah did indeed killed it

[fossilkid4life]

@whatigottasay ...he said ferris wheel and guacamole......MUAHAHAHAHAH i'm sooooo done right noww lolllol omg make it stop

[AnnaNeemus]

Oh, and Dionne Farris! She is so underrated.

[AnnaNeemus]

Rachelle Ferrell and Lalah were particularly amazing. Few singers you can genuinely call amazing. But they are. As Anita is.

[BrittanyNicole5286]

I don't know about ya'll, but I had chills the whole time lol

[MissArnedria]

absolutely LOVED it!! i loved all the tributes, but Lalah Hathaway KILLED IT on "angel"!!!! awesome!!!

[Nike5221]

OKay, That was a really great tribute! Great live music and Great SINGING BY ALL....

[dbelieve30]

This is one of my favorite tributes, in where all the singers were on point. Also, this has been a long time coming for Anita; She deserved it.

[uncledou]

Where was Toni Braxton? She would have been great for this tribute!

[kawaiisis86]

@uncledou Toni was really ill with her heart problems (and she has lupus) around this time!

[QueenlyandConfident]

OMG these ladies were fabulous! Some of my all time favs.

El Debarge! OMG YES!!! Now that's a gentleman!

[mzqueet]

That was bad...



[Dat504nig]

Chrisette, Tamia, Kem, Rachelle, Lallah, Goapelle, Dion and El...All was good...........Faith try to make the song her own and Fu@k it up.....

[dinmc808]

Have to keep coming back to this page again and again! Goapele does it for me, and El Debarge is so sophisticated and slick

[HRISA76]

so beutiful!!!

[adsyoung87]

I can't comment enough on this. Dionne Farris was the best performer of that night!!!! I wasn't really expecting that from her but, she made me a fan. Even though she went HAM like she was at a rap concert. LOL

[MrDamoniv]

@adsyoung87 lmao she sure did, Faith coulda did better doe... i was surprised

[latinajones25]

Tamia sang her ass off...Faith made a fool of herself lmfao!!!!!

[eracism09]

Ahh, I was happy to see Faith..especially since her recovery, so I would say she did well:)

[tamikajay2k10]

Tamia DID THAT!!!

[latenighttalk]

whats up with freddie jackson.he looks sick

[JoyniquaHall]

lol india arie is def a fan of layla hathaway 

[dollbaby123091]

i think Dionne and Goapele's performance wuz Ms. Anita's fav of the night

[JoyniquaHall]

chrisette did it up

[peepallgame]

The lady singing with Dionne Farris is Goapele,,,,She sounds so good....she just sings with so much peace...thats that bay area love she has ...

[mikemike7473]

I love Tamia's voice she is an icon on my ears

[LittleWidySings]

[wuat007]

who's the lady in 7:48? she was backstage with anita after the tribute too.

who's the lady in 8:54?

[spke532]

@wuat007 Inda arie



[gayle2020]

ooohh Lalah Hathaway did a beautiful job with ANGEL

[brentduanefoster]

Miss Anita was LOVING this tribute. She's still as energetic as she was back in the day!!!!

[berbz]

I absolutely love the quality of the artistes chosen for this tribute. Some of R n B's greatest and best talents, yet they are all so underrated. It's sad.

[scandalousbeauty]

One of my favorite tributes EVER. I could listen to it over and over. Long live Anita Baker!

[BridgetteBoston]

@scandalousbeauty Definitely!

[liclak]

Oh never mind I figured it out...."Been so long" is the name of it. When they started I could what it was.

[liclak]

Which song of Anita's that Kem and Farrell was singing can anyone tell me?

[gayle2020]

@liclak been so long, I'm missing you babyyyyyyyyyy

[SuperTweetygirl1]

@kennedy220 that's goapele

[LoveCorrie]

I was so happy to see Dionne Farris. I love her and she just seemed to disappear for a long time. She looks and sounds great.

[kennedy220]

@LoveCorrie who was the girl singing with dionne farris?

[debs1lady]

they gave everybodi the rite song to sing especially tamia

[18vdiaries64]

EL DEBARGE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[sabha]

what the name song siging Fate Evans?????????

[jblackma]

@sabha

It's called "No One in the World" ....might not be as easily recognizable since Faith starts saaaanging it from the 2nd verse.

[sabha]

@jblackma thank youuuuuuuu ....... =)

[solidboi87]

TAMiA...VOCAL BEAST!!...Her range is crazy...

[AleekahTV]

Dionne was wildin' during her performance haha I don't blame her. She was living the music. I can't really say who I enjoyed the most. They all did a superb job. Lalah made me feel it in my gut, Rachelle was just..no words..amazing.

[sabha]

exellent... the best ANITA BAKER

[LongLegged87]

Anita looked so grateful to have all those people honoring her. I love celebrities who actually feel when people are singing their songs to them.

[rmbb10]

Nice; they all did their thing.

[mysticgatherings]

Faith sure sounds A LOT like Karen Clark Sheard.

[krich458]

El Debarge, Goapele and Dionne Farris GOT IT DONE!!!!!!!

[dinmc808]

I keep watching this video over and over again and I have to say it's sheer class. But the more I see it the more I'm impressed by El Debarge and the respect that he gets from the audience is terrific. I think the way he sings his part is so touching and a sophisticated performance from a real trooper.

[JustAmazin19]

All the ladies wonderful.... this was a beautiful tribute!
