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!
Tamia can sang! I honestly do not remember her being so so good. I saw a tribute to Bebe and Cece Winans and was reminded of her and that amazing voice. Wow. Lady...get some songs or cover some songs and just use what God gave you...that voice! A gift and blessing.
Oh my gosh. I wasn’t prepared for how good this is. This was really great. She really knows the song and did an amazing job adapting it to her higher-placed but lighter voice. Just fantastic
Absolutely perfect! Big fan of Anita's performance of course (greatest female vocalist of the 80s, and that's saying a lot!) but Tamia remains both authentic to the song and herself, just beautiful.
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!
I remember seeing this. Awesome to see this performance again, I can tell Tamia grew up listening to Anita Baker and enjoy the songs because how she is performing this song. She knows how the song goes along with how Anita Baker sings it. Thank you for posting. :)
Anita introduced her to Grant Hill her husband...that's why when she sang Anita's famous line, "I'll bet everything on my wedding ring" she winked at her
Rodney Davis Yes, I remember when the couple dated and got married. I grew up in the 1990s. I am age 30 going on 31 this year. And someone else posted the full Anita Baker tribute and Tamia, I believe mentions this towards the end.
The best Anita baker beside Anita baker awesome awesome we know you is in love cause anybody can't sang a that song like that in people feel it love you Tamia
This was beautiful. I was watching some of the other tributes to Ms. Baker from BET, and they did well but didn't keep the sultriness of the songs that made them classics IMO. Tamia did this so well and controlled. A beautiful tribute.
@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!
God Tamia is so slept on.
Her vocal range is incredibly rare & when she sings, her delivery is so smooth and well controlled .
she's awesome..this also showed how hard Anita Baker's songs are to sing
FACTS
💯 sister can blow
I keep saying that!!! her range is amazing and she sounds even better live
True. But if everyone went to church, this would have never happened.
People think she just Eye Candy.....this girl can SING!!
shes both! LOVE HER!
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!
Facts!!!!👏🏾👍🏾
Agreed, love her ❤️
The wink, for I bet everything on my wedding ring, is because Anita set up Tamia with Grant Hill. Great match-maker!
Oh wow for real? That is awesome!!
Yep, I caught that, too!
Didn’t know that! ❤️
My favorite part
Here 5 years later listening this! And you are so right. The wink was for thanks sis ❤️
the most underrated performance of all time
The epitome of vocal purity!
her voice is like silk! i love tamia.
Tamia is one of the most underrated singers in the music industry and she should deserves much more recognition. This is true talent!
Best lines ever "Somebody understands me, somebody gave his heart to me." =o)
Wendy Zurita and the icing is Anita Baker introduced her to her husband...that’s why I love when she held up her hand! Just beautiful 🥰💯🙌🏾

have you heard “you put a move on my heart” by Tamia? thats when I knew
Oh my gosh. I wasn’t prepared for how good this is. This was really great. She really knows the song and did an amazing job adapting it to her higher-placed but lighter voice. Just fantastic
Go Tamia...sound beautiful. You made Anita proud. I love Anita and I love you, Tamia. Two legends

Pure, sweet & strong singing voice. Absolutely gorgeous.
Tamia knows she can sing her butt off. Love her.
She did her thing with this song.
we need this singing and r&b back, when people sung from their souls!
She nailed this... She definitely does not get the recognition that she deserves. Beautiful voice
She’s sooo underrated!

Indeed Ms. Gordon
This was beautiful. I was watching some of the other tributes to Ms. Baker from BET, and they did well but didn't keep the sultriness of the songs that made them classics IMO. Tamia did this so well and controlled. A beautiful tribute.
A classic song meets a great vocalist.
Baby!! What a beautiful tribute.
OMGGGGOODNESS Tamia singing an Anita Baker classic can it really get any better?
I love Tamia's voice! She did a fantastic job on this song.
I would hate to sing after Tamia. She rocked my favorite Anita song like no other.
Best performance ever
I agree, Tamia said she got discovered by her cassette recording of her singing a Whitney Houston song.
This timeless masterpiece!
