This is ONE of my favorite songs by the great Anita Baker, I am a true die hard fan of hers, and I've gotta say, GIRL YOU BODIED this song. I mean JoJo has ALWAYS been talented, but you sang this song so beatifully!! BIG UPS TO YOU! LOVED IT!
I get chills when JoJo sings this. !! Anita Baker would be so proud!! I am sure she would:) I remember Anita being in awe at the Soul Train awards when Chrisette Michele and Tamia covered her songs:) She would love this. I hope she heard it!!!
The violin is like the cherry on top! The strings in this composition compliments her voice so much, her vocal aerobics wth that violin solo feels like freefalling into pure elegance- I don't even care how pretentious that may sound to some people, they'll agree when they hear this right here.
horrorvictim The guy on the Violin, his name is Lee England Jr., check out his RUclips. the guy on the bass his name is Tony Russell...They're both from Chicago
This is a great cover! Kudos to the arranger/producer, it was modern with R&B, Jazz, and hip hop infusions so that she could made it her own. Her voice is so lovely, it's depressing that she's not bigger than Rihanna, Katy Perry, or even Taylor Swift. Neither of them hold a candle to her vocals. When your voice has too much 'soul' it almost kills your chances at pop success. See Teena Marie.
+powerpuffcutie24 Call me selfish, but I'm okay if singers like JoJo are only known in the R&B realm. Not every singer NEEDS to cross over, y'know what I mean? It's nice having something that's just "ours," if that makes any sense.
She did a fabulous job remaking this Anita Baker classic. She also put her own little twist on the song instead of making it a complete copy like other artists....
Talent in which she doesn't have to struggle, you can tell she love music. This young girl can blow. Flawless! She needs her name up in lights somwhere there is a gig.
She's been around for years now since the early 2000's she's about 25yrs old now I think she came out in 2004 when she was about 14yrs old with her first single.
I am soooo in love with this song and jojo is doing it to me i lost it when i 1st heard this i was in the car I started screaming cus it felt sooo damn good oh my goodness my spirit was feeling it and that violin was just butter on toast my lord
my mama loves Anita played this for her she loved this too Anita and Jojo both give this song a different feeling but vocally they slay ,and the lyrics and melody is timeless ....
OMYGOD JOJO I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE OMYGOD. Im only 20 years old and i listen to jazz songs on the radio all the time. I love they way you get old songs and make your own rendition. Like Anything, Cant believe it, Houstalantavegas. I seriously love you oh my god =")))))))))) i love you
New school groove on an old school hit! You are glorious, darling, and this reprise is perfection. I can't take my mind off of it and listen to it whenever I think of it~
Did someone really say the production of this track was wack??? Are you kidding? This whole record is smashin! From the vibe to the production/musicianship to the vocals and arrangement. I'm impressed, JoJo...
This song.... #slay!! Get It JoJo!!! I love this version of the song!! SOOO happy she's back, and her new music sounds soo great!!! Cannot WAIT to hear more from this girl. Her talent is #undeniable!! LOVE her!! #LoveJoJo!!!
I'm just such a fan have been since the beginning she's just so original and herself always. And her vocal range is out of this world there is no other voice like hers
Yea she is. It's just for a while she's had a battle with her former record label Blackground Records. So in the past, she lost her spotlight. Recently, she signed with Atlantic Records and is free to make a full comeback. I love this cover she did of Anita Baker's song. Such a smooth cover! *****
This is one woman who I can say honestly respects the culture and is not a vulture. Very soulful....
i danced to this version at my wedding
+Eric Walker omggggggg
Eric Walker wow! I want to! I bet it was BEAUTIFUL!

I loved it too!! it kept the integrity of the original but still breathed new life into the song! her tone is Everything!!!!!!!
