Wow! Fantasia has been that one artist that the legends have blessed, admired and passed the torch down to. The Queen Aretha Franklin has dubbed her as the Princess of Soul can you blame her. She has Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan and now Legendary Angelic Jazz Songress Anita Baker backing and supporting her. She stands on the shoulders of giants, trailblazers, icons and legends.That speaks volumes of how much they adore, admire and respect your talent, gift, showmanship and voice. Phenomenal!
i guess but fantasia just hollers to me. she isn't trained. anita and the old school women, were actually trained by professionals in the train who had degrees in music. but i will take fantasia over these young white girls with no voices, claiming they're doing r&b.
I love how Anita is trying to teaching Fantasia how to integrate on stage if a singer calls her on stage. I can tell Fantasia was honored to be on stage with her but was scared of messing up since it was her first time meeting Anita. Anita is a legendary songstress who flows whenever she sings. One day Fantasia you will be able to do the same thing and will be able to sing freestyle on any song. Love you both! Such a great show.
I like most of what you said but Fantasia can freestyle on ANY song. I'm not a huge fan/follower of Fantasia's but I know she can sing and improvise on anything. Fantasia's problem is usually not knowing the lyrics and while Anita was directing her to the prompter on the monitors at the button of the stage, she may not know that Fantasia has trouble reading. That's most likely what the problem was with Fantasia not coming in earlier on the song.
Anita Baker is still classy and confident in her musical talents to honor other artist although it is her show... pure classiness. We love her signature black attire and short hair cut. I hope to see her in concert, soon.
Nothing classy about to is stunt. It shows her insecurity & cattiness. She did Fantasia dirty, rehearsing her with Sweet Love, then upstaging her with this novel that even Anita dtsnt know all the words to. She's dirty.
Loyalty 77 not true. She practically lives in the gym, she has plenty of videos on her Instagram. That body is the result of consistent workouting since 2012 and eating healthy. Her trainers are really good too!
I loved the respect Fantasia showed Anita Baker! And, I loved the fact that Anita Baker passed the touch to Fantasia by saying R&B music is in good hands. Yes, with Fantasia, it is. BRAVO!!
Metallicgld12 .... Restraint my Ass!, that’s a lie!, if Fantasia knew that song, she would have blown the roof off that place....Homegurl can SANG!...Fannie be in a zone when she sings LOL! .... it’s a religious experience, she don’t play! 😂 I’ve seen this girl Live twice!
Metallicgld12 Fantasia can not out stage Anita Baker at any moment in her career if anything she would have embarassed herself if she tried. That song has a mouthfull of lyrics to recite let alone sing on stage from memory. Fantasia did what she was supposed to do in that particular moment.
Black Messiah lol I was just saying almost the same thing. I said after lookin at her gorgeous Brown legs, that her body was like a strong beautiful, race horse
Its not bout her knowing the words...Auntie Anita is passing the torch on to those that she feels is qualified to carry it....other legends should be as gracious for we only have a season with something and when its time to pass it on...pass it on
Anita asked you to carry on plus asked her audience to support you on your journey Fantasia. So appreciate the love from a veteran singer who admires your talent as well. Surely you were shocked she asked you to sing with her but Anita gave you props girl!
DeSHAWN Bethel Fantasia is a gigantic fan of Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin who are also before her time.. and I'm only 24 years old and I know this song lol so I think its just that she hasn't listened to this particular song.
RyTy Jay_ I thought about that after I sent it. She knows the songs of her idols. I think she knew a song, but Anita brought her out on one she was unfamiliar with…
I agree..I think she heard it before but didn't know all the words..so when all else fails, just yell and ad lip lol..she pulled it off..Anita realized that she didn't know it I'm sure. I'm glad they got to meet.
Anita Baker you are a wonderful person, you are simply someone who knows how to bring people forward. Fantasia needs you to continue to speak life into her heart and Spirit. This woman has a supreme gift and you are able to see it and cultivate it. Thank you. Blessings!!!
Even though Fantasia didn't know the lyrics, she is still a great singer. I love the fact that Anita invited her on stage with her and she was ad libbing like it ain't no tomorrow! Anita baker is classy and her voice is jazzy and her songs are just timeless!
Anita still has her impeccable range, work mama! Fantasia great job adlibing. It helps when you pull from your experiences. Gospel singers do it often.
I have never seen Fantasia nervous to sing and she sung with Legends....but Auntie Anita is walking talking music real music from the Soul- I love the fact that Anita baker crowned her and it was rightfully so ..... Two of my favorites 💕💪
Heeey.. Both my Girls! Yay!🙌 What a Sweet collaboration! Fantasia can't listen to all the songs to know the words she got her own songs to remember! Lol.😁😂 But she laid the song out without the words! OUTSTANDING! 😍😘💕❤❣💞👏👍👍🙌✌
I feel you Fantasia! I don't care who you are, if you get to sing with Anita Baker you are going to be very nervous and probably won't even remember your own name at the time let alone any lyrics.
This was beautiful to me! Made me shed a tear or two! Beautiful moment to beautiful people! Amazing, this is what legends are made off! I salute you both, God bless and keep you💕
Love Anita Baker and Fantasia I still have Anita Baker cds and I remember I had her on tape when I had a Walkman back in the day. I’m 54 ain’t nothing like old school music. And Fantasia brings life to everything she sings and she looks great
I love it!!!! 💝 Fantasia didn't know the words to that one! They still cut up!!! 💃Anita Baker should have sang that one where she clicks her heels like Dorothy. It reminds you of that Temptations step also. Lol. This lady is an absolute legend hands down. Fantasia is leaving her mark as well!
Anita has been ending all her concerts with the song Fairytales, there was no shade, Fantasia just didn’t know the words but she handled it very well, why do you all always try to find something negative, this was beautiful, Anita has nothing to prove she has been where Fantasia is trying to go, and was only showing love and support for her when she realized she didn’t know the words she said Fantasia just sing anything show your skills, that was admirable
This is not one of Anita’s well known songs but it’s my favorite! I would have sang along but couldn’t hit the notes Fantasia hit😂 I wish she knew the lyrics, she would have torn it up!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 two legends ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sang Tashia! Even not knowing the words she sang and Anita passing the torch was beautiful! I grew up on Anita she continues to show why she is the G.O.A.T!
Lol ... Anita really doesn’t see that. I wasn’t getting rdy to make this same comment. She did this to Tyrese once and he was just like Fantasia here in this video ... 👀..
KennethConcepts and after ANITA says “Sing that song” several times and she doesn’t sing it...Anyone should assume it’s because she doesn’t know it! Duh!
Cory Ballad As a professional, and admirer of Anita Baker's, Fantasia never should have been placed in such an awkward situation. Anita showed her true insecure colors here. I see her differently now. Fantasia deserves a DO OVER! Jennifer Lewis never would have done the young sister this way.
I kinda feel like if u constantly make public statements about an artist being a favorite that you want to sing with, your catalog of their songs should know the popular 1s at least. I don't think Anita played her because she's from that era that goes hard when another good singer's onstage to push the maximum performance out of them. Singers like Patti, Yolanda & others aren't threatened by big voices... they encourage it to give fans unforgettable shows...in my opinion
ray davis How can you push the maximum performance out of someone , when they only know the minimum lyrics? It isn't possible. At the end of the day, I am certain Fantasia was embarrassed. While she may have improvised, she also said Anita put her on the spot. It was not supposed to be a challenge. But anyway. Also, because those of us who disagree with Anita's antics, it doesn't mean we want to sing with her. Nonetheless, I would definitely not have been the least bit embarrassed. I do know the lyrics. Unlike Fantasia, this song was during my era and is a favorite of mine. Because I don't agree with Anita, it doesn't mean inLove her any less. I just know Reba McEntire nor Dolly Pardon would not have done this to Taylor Swift. Do you feel me?
Keep The Change Keep The Change Here's the thing..if Tasia had known the words...we know she would've completely smashed this performance. That's not Anita's fault..and those other singers you named arent notoriously known to pull singers out the audience.. Anita is. And for the record Anita showed her the monitor with the words and Tasia refused to read them.. I saw this and wondered if it was low key an issue for her to read words fast on a monitor..not being funny at all but its a real possibility. However I don't expect an artist to dumb down their performance for another artist to catch up at their own song. And those words she spoke at the end trumps all. We debate if there's underlying shade and overlook the overlaying love
I Love it! Anita told her own fans to " Take Care of Fantasia" the "Next Soul Songstress" Generation! That's how we pass the Baton Folks! No Hating. Just The "Sisterhood." 👩🦱 🎙 👩🦱 🎤 🎶🎵💞
Tasia' can sing a recipe and make it sound good....I'll never forget Fantasia on American Idol . That was the year Fantasia and others made it the best of all other American Idols .......
I know that song for sure and any fan of Anita definitely better know it too. But, it’s all good Fantasia still held her own even after it was apparent that she had no clue of this song. lol
I don't learn all the words to anybody's song, at best I learn the hook and keep it pushin. Besides, as long Anita knows the words I'm good, I'd rather hear her sing it than me anyway.
April Staton Anita does everybody like that and people are just not ready, lol. Well, Fantasia was obviously I haven't seen many so, she's the first I seen that was thinking and not shutting down. And, April as we know already? That is what artist do, create! Tyrese wasn't ready ha I'm sure he kicked himself for that one. I love that tribute to Anita Baker with Faith Evans! Faith Evans and the lady at the end that sings that song hopeless tore it down in seconds.
Anita kept asking her to sing... Tasia clearly didn't know the song "at all" and still kilt dem vocal stabs! Anita don't play fair...plus she's been in the "game" too long to be Upstaged!!! Tuh!
My My My....This is the epitomy of class. May these young ladies that are singing R&B today. See this and aspire to perform in such a manner. That they don't have to share all their goodies. What a class act Fantasia you are now carrying the torch.
I love Anita. She's my all time favorite female singer and watch many videos but when some1 is on stage with her I don't watch but when I saw it was Fantasia had to watch. That's my girl. Look at her in those 👠. She looks gorgeous. It's a little sad she didn't know the song lol....
Anita was like "sing baby, sing with me" . . . Fantasia was holding back outta respect cause we all know that guh can blow that roof off if she wanted to lollll
