    I see how Toni Braxton was greatly influenced by Anita Baker, the hair, so much voice control... not a single note out of tune. This is singing is priceless!

    • @warrior9923
      @warrior9923 Год назад +5

      No...This was 1995, Toni was already out since 1992 from the Boomerang soundtrack. Toni's style was a bit different ,with a more sexier vibe and Toni's cut was more sleek and shorter. This was when Anita returned back to the music scene in 1994 with her Rhythm of love album.
      Toni was influenced by baker, but she totally has her own style!!!💯

Oh my GOD, when did you sisters lose this look and start wearing weave, green, purple, and blue hair. extra long eyelashes and crazy lighten color makeup. Clothes to tight, blouses that don't quite pull down, and jeans that don't quite cover the ass crack. What is happening to style and class. I still love you my sister's, and I'll date and marry only a black woman. But please, in 2017 take some notes from Mrs Baker, and come back to the days of style and class. We miss ya. We brothers could do some coming back to, it's not all on you sister's. All of us has got to get our shit together.

    I was sitting at Catalina Jazz Club in LA w Art Blakey and some of his band during a set break. Catalina (club owner) brought Miss Anita Baker to the table who was very shy to meet the great Art Blakey. Anita was so stunning, so perfectly dressed & groomed & such a lady I was absolutely floored. Pure class from head to toe. She wore a black lace short sleeved shirtwaist belted dress & sheer black stockings and black simple plain matte black silk mid-heel plain pumps. Dang. She was so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o beautiful. She sang one song w the band later & it was so long ago I can't remember what song it was! A Goddess. Period.

      mikeg1634 I think Janelle Monae can play her because she physically resembles her, but a different person do the vocals, or just play Anita Baker vocals because although she can sing well, Janelle has a totally different sound..but dang she looks like her

      +Rodney Davis, I agree, Janelle Monae to play Anita 4 real. Producers will have to figure out the vocals part because their sounds are completely different but Janelle I know can imitate Anita's dancing mannerisms without any trouble.

    I was about 8-12 doing this performance. I would always tell my father I wanted to marry her. Today I’m still single. Ms. Baker I’m waiting 😆😆
    I’m kidding… I love you so much. Thank you for being a unique artist. Muah!
