Tamia’s tone has always been pure, smooth, and rich. It kinda sneaks up on you and now it’s too late, SHE GOT YOU HOOKED! I love her. She has preserved her voice VERY well for like 30 years now.
Tamia winked at Anita Baker when she sung “I bet everything on my wedding ring” because Anita actually set her up on a blind date with Grant Hill. Now they have been together for over 22 years!!!
It always do for me my love since I have a deep singing voice myself. My button notes and lower register always mess people up. My falsetto does the same to folks❤❤❤
@@321blessed321 music 🎶is first a listening activity. 🎶. Videos and autotune were the death of musicians who could really sing. If you can sing in key with perfect pitch acapella then you can sing!!!
Lailah was sooo slept on. She killed that tenor intro n then kept it soo dope vocally. I need ppl to realize this is THE Donny Hathaway's daughter, n she's nasty w it like her pops.
She’s in an entire high class of her own because she is the only singer I know with 100% percent control over her voice. She has NEVER missed a note or sang off key
@@cleopatrabonz "Thank You!" And Eldra turns it on and turns it out everywhere, even when he drops in just to visit family and friends. If there's a piano or keyboard, "its on!"
agree on faith..she always is, but what she did here is feel those words, and live and relive her journey and that's where pitchy didn't matter anymore
Whoever put this line up together did a damn good job. There wasn't a singer that disappointed. Everyone brought their A game repped for Mrs Anita Baker
Older Black folks, make sure future generations know about Anita Baker and her music! Let it play during parties, around the house during weekend cleaning sessions, etc.. The children must know about Auntie Anita, for she's a LEGEND!
80’s baby here and I second this. I second all of this. I play Anita for my kids religiously, especially the girls because Anita was one of the few female artists in history that sang directly to a man’s heart; flaws and all, she was honest and this is exactly why I love her.
I didn't watch the show but they sound like a hot mess only one that can sing Anita Baker song is Anita Baker I wish that she would get up there and sing a song to make the show but they all sound like a hot mess cuz I know they put their own twist on it but her songs are perfection and is very few people that can sing her songs like she do
Sheila Orangd I know what you mean by nothing like the originals but i remember watching the show. Anita seemed to be enjoying every last one of them. Reminds me of a proud mom. Just look at her expressions and body language
Lalah Hathaway's voice gives me the chills! I just cry when she sings! Her interpretation of a song is incredible! Dionne Farris, Goapele and Rachelle Farrell killed it for me!
Fun fact: At the 1996 Soul Traim Awards Anita told Tamia she knew the "perfect man for her" that man ended up being Grant Hill :) hence the wink at "I bet everything on my wedding ring" (3:14 mark)
Am I the only one that loves Chrisette Michelle's Voice??.... A Side Note, Kem And Rachel Ferrel should have been saved for last....God they need tp record the entire song....Really enjoyed Tamia's voice too.....Anyway Back to Chrisette, can we acknowledge her voice? Love her voice!
@@isismarie2902Yes ....I think black folk want to stay mad at her for singing for the president at the time.....in which is ridiculous.....that girl can sing and they know it
Happy GoLucky : Happy, I have been a fan of of Dionne Farris since her Arrested Development days. Her voice her amazing to me! She is incredibly talented.
Whoever produced this segment should have received a Grammy. This is Soul Train's best tribute to date (the others aren't remotely close). All singers were awesome. Chrisette sounding good, Toni B also would have also been a nice alternative to open. Tamia was tight. It took me a couple of watches to get into Faith Evans but I'm feeling her performance. Kem my dude keeping it mellow, and Rachel Ferrell is a straight beast. Lalah lower range intro into the song (Oh my goodneess!!!), "Angel" was flawless. I never heard of Goapele until I saw this years ago, I have been a fan ever since (unique tone). Dionne Farris is a great talent, I didn't understand why they put her with Goapele. El Debarge was most impressive because of what he has been through in the past and still has his voice. He brought his "A game" and takes it up a couple of octaves to end the song. Please stay clean my brother. Outstanding tribute!!!
The Soul Train awards is from us to us...why should we care what white people think of our music and culture? Why is it some of us still value themselves by the white man's opinion? I guess to them what the Black man built ain't shit unless the white man says so.
El de barge is such a beautiful singer,we can feel that part like he was the original singer of that song.What a sweet voice he has.His part is the sweetest of this tribute.
yes but Laila Hathaway, Angel, oh my god, love it, poss more than Anita's own version,, shit did I really say it.. She'll always be the Songstress. much love for A.B.
Definitely! They should have taken the time to search the right singers years back for Whitney's tribute and for Vanessa Williams tribute. I couldn't believe it. No deep thought was put into the line up for Faith's tribute either. Smh You could tell they looked disappointed but were just being as gracious as they could. I'll say the artists had good voices of course but were bad choices for those songs. The only tributes I enjoyed so far is this one to Anita, Chaka, Patti. and Stephanie Mills. Only thing is they should've had more than 3 artists to tribute Stephanie
Anita introduced Tamia and Grant so I really love that she preformed as well as the fact you can tell Anita was truly moved by her vocals. It's been 6 years and I keep coming back to this.
Got me in tears right now!!! Especially in the beginning she seemed unsure, then you see India Irie stand up like in church and Laila rose like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Gwenette Smith very true I’ve watched it every sense I knew It aired sometime I listen just for a piece of mind & that great feeling music brought back then
Yes💜!!!!!! I agree I really like Dione Farris... I been bangin with her since her song on the Love Jones soundtrack “They say i’m hopeless like a penny wit a whole in it bomba bomba bomba”
Lord knows that I truly missed this type of real music! Mrs Anita Baker was one of the Realest Artists back in the days and still now!!2024♥️😪💐♥️💯👍🏾🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾 All the 👑 QUEENS who did that tribute to her were so awesome and amazing! Bring back so many good memories 💯♥️🔥🙌🏾♥️M.I.A.305
Do not UNDERESTIMATE the power of prayer. I saw rehearsal footage of this by Dionne Farris and all of the singers got together backstage in a circle and prayed beforehand. That's why this is arguably the best tribute EVER. FACTS.
@@messengerofthecovenant6982, god is THE DEVIL! GOD, 'ALMIGHTY', (THE MOST High God, YAHWEH), THE "I AM that I AM" (IS) THE HOLY one! HE SAID, " *BE* 👉🏾*YE HOLY* , *FOR 'I AM' HOLY!* " 😊 SO, *HE'S AWESOME!!!* 🙌🏾

Great show loved it
She was great but I don't like the way she pronounced forever. Other than that great

You are so right! The line-up of the artists was fabulous! Ending the tribute with El Debrage was the best!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Tamia has such a clear voice

El DeBarge was in fine form. I sure would've loved to hear Toni Braxton.
Yes El knocked it out the Park, especially when he went to that falsetto
Anita passed on love should’ve brought you home to Toni I wish she was there too.
Rachel Farrell and Kem SET that 2nd half off. Her voice is a culmination of multiple instruments....
You’re so right! She don’t need an instrument because her voice is many! Wow
Fun fact: At the 1996 Soul Traim Awards Anita told Tamia she knew the "perfect man for her" that man ended up being Grant Hill :) hence the wink at "I bet everything on my wedding ring" (3:14 mark)
Janee's World I need her to set me up too lol. Mama Baker hit the bail on the head!
Yeeeeesssss
This is true but I think it was a few years earlier because I got married in Canada in 1994. They got married, had a family & are STILL together.🥰
Oh my goodness! Really! Beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing that!😍😉

Rahloh McDonogh Thank because I was trying to figure out who she was
Lalla Hathaway had me in tears...Her lower register is flames🔥🔥I also truly enjoyed the two ladies at the end..
Got me in tears right now!!! Especially in the beginning she seemed unsure, then you see India Irie stand up like in church and Laila rose like a Phoenix from the ashes.
That low register just geezz my goodness. It gave me everything
El Debarge can still hit them notes like nobody's business! One of the best performances given. Love me some El!
He sounds like an Eunuch just cut his nuts away.
Lisa Crosley girl u better say that!Love when he said and i got u baby just like that,i thank for u.

Anita Baker was truly ENJOYING herself. U can tell that she was truly impressed by all of the artist. Her 2-step when El came out was too cute!
Dionne Farris one of my fave parts in the tribute. Yall sleeping on her rendition! Lalah and Tamia are smooth like butter!
@Keith bengermin I knew I wasn't the only one. She was wailing like a cat. Somebody give her a penny with a hole in it. LOL

Who came back to this classic tribute in 2023?!
And in 2024
Layla Hathaway can touch souls with that voice
Amen!
Layla was my first thought even before clicking this; she did great♡♡♡.
Dee Dee Bridgewater would've been great too.
I'm telling you! She sings so low in her belly um convinced there's a bearded person with a Heineken and heel on lol
I remember I had this recorded and I watched it about 30,000 times
Damn, is El Debarge a vampire? He is not aging!
IKR! Especially since he spent 20 years on drugs. He looks damn good. 😍
😆
@@CodyCole80 that was extra.
Madison Green
How? It’s the truth. In my opinion, that proves Yah’s covering.
Charles Mendias lol he make a sexy vampire 😂😂💕
Rachelle ferrell and Kem they song

El can sang to me anytime I swear!
@@rasheedasiner2329 El can sang anythang to me 😂❤️

Do not UNDERESTIMATE the power of prayer. I saw rehearsal footage of this by Dionne Farris and all of the singers got together backstage in a circle and prayed beforehand. That's why this is arguably the best tribute EVER. FACTS.
EVER!!! Forever and ever! 💯🙌🏽
Yes indeed
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
PRAYED TO WHO? GOD.
GOD IS THE DEVIL
THE FATHER ALL MIGHTY IS HOLY.
HE WOULD NEVER SHARE A NAME WITH SATAN.
HE IS HOLY. PERIOD.
@@messengerofthecovenant6982, god is THE DEVIL! GOD, 'ALMIGHTY', (THE MOST High God, YAHWEH), THE "I AM that I AM" (IS) THE HOLY one!
HE SAID, " *BE* 👉🏾*YE HOLY* ,
*FOR 'I AM' HOLY!* " 😊
SO, *HE'S AWESOME!!!* 🙌🏾
dionne ferris sounds just like anita shes amazing
Anita didn't know what to do when she started singing lmao!
Omg, Anita always have her hair laid. Such a Classy and Sophisticated lady.
2024 and loving; always loving Anita Baker & this tribute!
One of the best tributes ever for one of the Greatest talents to walk this Earth. Ms. Anita Baker.
