Jamie Foxx Tributes Anita Baker By Singing Some Of Her Classics! | BET Awards 2018 

Shon A. Definitely

YASSS

Definitely. Only she wouldn't attend. She doesn't ever go to award shows.

shit if you can get her to come to america

Shon A. I agree. I love Sade, and Anita.

please

Huge facts

Great idea

4 real ..

Amen to that bro 😎

Humanitarian

HE SANGS

And play the piano

Pianiste too

And can play the piano!

💯

Although you’re 100% correct BUT nobody can sing MICHAEL JACKSON like EDDIE MURPHY from Raw. Watch him sing she’s outta my life with the red suit on…. Mind blowing

I think Jamie Foxx and Shawn Sounds are amazing when it comes to singing Luther...

He was who I modeled when learning to sing and play piano at the age of 15.

FACTS

Tony F omg yea man that guy

Brady Bunch Jamie Foxx type shit

His 90s album was actually good lol

Tony F we need the JAMIE FOXX SHOW back ASAP

Tony F Yaaass!

wordsone I've been saying this for yrs.. Since the 90's his 1st album then comedy now movies. He does it all and with a great personality effortlessly. He's my fav celeb hands down. One of the greats.

Absolutely

Go up*

wordsone Big Facts!!!💯

YES!!! Jamie and Will Smith They have that "It" factor. Charisma oozing from them.

That would be good.

You aint lying, but too bad we will never be blessed with that!

I Agree💯💯👍😀

yep.

Been saying this for years

Yes, he is!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳

First of all don’t ever diss Marvin Gaye or Michael Jackson like that again

@@TheLuscious In what way did I diss The King Michael (who is my favorite of all time) or the Master Marvin?

Jamie is a vocal beast obviously, absolute FIRE singer; but NOT in Luther’s nor Stevie’s category sorry. There are levels to this.

@@denvertaylor9195 Jamie can actually imitate Stevie Wonder easily and probably Luther too. What makes him so unique is that he has the ability to replicate voices he hears and also has his own sound.

@@lareinelester685 Jamie is a monstrous talent without a doubt, in fact, I think he’s the best combination of singer, comedian, and actor out there. However, while he can certainly imitate the singers you mentioned, he doesn’t have Stevie’s range, or power, he wouldn’t be able to sing overjoyed for example and hit all of the same upper notes trust me. And, no disrespect, I’ll put Jamie against anyone in overall talent; but he definitely isn’t in Luther’s category either🤷🏿‍♂️.

Cory Ballad yes sir❤️

A culture vulture? haha funny. Jamie Foxx is an African American... He is comedian. He does musical impressions. He loves the singers that he impersonates: Prince, Fred Hammond, and Anita Baker. This wasn't an impersonation though. This was an extension of his comedy and his own exclamation of love for Anita Baker and it was sung very skillfully...

Nikki Justice How is he a culture vulture of HIS own culture? Also, Swirler does not equate to hating black women. I think Jamie loves women period no matter their race, ethnicity or creed. You sound like someone hurt you boo, go sort it out 😒

Um, Jaime don't like women, where y'all been? lol. How many more of his former confidants got to call him out before y'all pull his card for being on the down low? I guess (especially to black women) you can get away with BS if you famous and got money. SMH.

Yes, he is!

Just the piano playing alone

He's just playing piano alone.

@@dezmondharris3644 He did receive some accompaniment for a quick minute. But something tells me he really didn't need it.

Totally 💯

God bless Jaime Foxx

Don't forget his impressions

KempireRadio hey do you know what this song is called

KempireRadio look up his performances after his old comedy shows. Amazing stuff.

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a few years back here in South Carolina. He put on an awesome show and we had a great time: one half comedy and one half he performed songs from the album that had just come out. I'd see him live any day!!

Effortless

You should see his past comedy specials. He performs just like this after the show.

So true, I was at one of his comedy shows 20 years ago and he broke into song. Just an amazing voice!

Hello ma'am really appreciate your love and support for my dad music and acting career ❣️🙏💕

@@KayAnn2121 Hello ma'am really appreciate your love and support for my dad music and acting career ❣️🙏💕

D. Foxx something is freakin wrong with him 😂😂

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

He was so stupid for that lol 🤣🤣😂😂

D. Foxx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shrimp is a sexual stimulator like other seafood. He meant that he would be " making love forever"😂😘😋.

Me..😭😭 I almost named my son Jamie. Huge fan 😁

🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

@@cherryblossom9482 glad you didn't because that's not even his real name 😂

@@Skitz0frenix Ok, I'm WELL aware Jaime is not his real name. Regardless, I was a huge fan of the Jaime Foxx show. I am of fan of the show's character. Don't be glad what someone did or did not name their baby because either way, it wouldn't affect you. 👍

I didn’t 😩

Hello ma'am really appreciate your love and support for my dad's acting career ❣️🙏

Because his voice only goes so far, he doesn't have much of a range, never has. He is very limited and he knows it

@@tonyahoney4244 ouch LOL

@@tonyahoney4244 Wtf he’s a Grammy winner but he can’t sing? You’re stupid

@@TheLuscious He is limited. Grammy does not mean your vocal range is stellar...I see you are limited too, "stupid"? learn how to express your opinion without insult.

@@tonyahoney4244 Wut? How many ranges do YOU need? Give me a break.

Chrono Cross yeeees

Chrono Cross yesss

What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? WELL well WELL well

Who would have thought... He would be doing her tribute. Example of life coming in full circle. So underrated.

♥️

NappyliciousTV he played for ray charles. All he did was nod his heas and say " that will do" thats how he got the movie.

Hello ma'am really appreciate your love and support for my dad music and acting career ❣️🙏💕

@@corinnefoxx9345 ...could you ask him to do an excellent BENEFIT....where he sings a concert tribute to all his inspirations...and he can invite some of his fabulous friends celebrity friends to help him....maybe a concert to fight cancer...and by the way it's always so great to see you looking so sweet when you go with him to celebrity events....you are always his best DATE....

Ppl tend to think it’s easier than it looks

Actually not self taught. He studied classical piano in college, said it in an interview. Still very talented.

They spent thousands of dollars and times with so called professional. Gift is given from the above. You can't duplicate it or copy it. This is a great example for those born to hate or lierd, too.

Right! I teared up on that fa real!!!

Yessss

He’s too bad... TALENTED ❤️

That's my Absolutely 💯my Favorite Song 🎵❤

Don’t make me hit this verse on you…..

sauds88 did you see the dumb ass look on SZA's face?

LOL Yes!

sauds88 right

Dee Hive Timestamp?

These days people only samples and covers

😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️

I don’t think that he takes himself too seriously as a musician.

Yes, he is! OMG

Classically trained pianist...that will definitely sharpen the ear

Definitely.

No dought about that

Okay.

Kesandra Williamson indeed

Kesandra Williamson yes and i can't find her performance for nothing

Ohhhweeeeeeee, YOLANDA CAME WITH IT!!

Precious Cargo yes she did.

The only good thing about the show

Agree

Never lied!!

Preach, you aint lie

Agreed 💯💯💯💯💯💯

70s, 80s & the 90s had the best R&B songs....Good songs died with the 90s....it's been 'Bleh' afterwards.

And I think its because they dont take themselves to seriously that their talent shines through. A collab would definately be awesome to see.

Yes, he is!

Jennifer Berry I do to but at the Same time Anita Baker deserve At lease one female By the name of.... ( Mary J Blige )

you should be reading The Daughters Of Hustle iamdoh.weebly.com/

Yes Mike Mitch she would have killed it

Jennifer Berry Mary always give Anita love Mary Always say if I Would have not Song one of anita Bakers songs in a Karaoke bar I would Have never got..... Discovered love Both of them, especially Anita She's a hometown girl Detroit much Love!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

G-Phi Productions its kinda like he was dissing in the beginning tho

Mr Foxx a cover album of Ms Baker's hits is in order...please consider seriously

WOWW, JAMIE FOXX CAN SANGGG!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tiffany Johnson Probably too young to know her music.

Steven Porras well they are missing out

Marlee Knights not their fault

Y'all expect the new generation to know it cuz you know it

They was to young

Charles Davis I’m 25 and I was singing my heart out at home. They really don’t understand or appreciate REAL MUSIC. I was raised on Anita Baker. She was road trip music, cleaning music, or whatever mood my mother was in. Lol

LOVEkyraquel same here!

I’m 24 and I have her greatest hits album ...age doesn’t matter good music is good music

They didn't for real

...sad...bloody sad indeed...smdh. One can never know where they are going until they know and fully grasp that from which they came.

Yes...!!!

And he can play the keys too ! this dude is a multitalent.

No shit

Vernon Moses no baby SANG!

Vernon Moses You didn't know that?

Hell yea... Where you been at lol...

😂😂😂

He’s a talent genius. Love me some Jamie Foxx, all day

If he didn't have a piano🤔? What type of logic is that? I bet that same person would be like...if Micheal Jordan didn't have that Basketball...😅.

@@markjones5757 Yeah hence me saying what I said. I know what they tried to say. ( bitter and jealous) They just didn’t know how to? Also Jamie Foxx isn’t just a pianist, he acts and does great jokes .

Facts💯😂😅😂😅

Yes, he is!

KILLMONGER X they did for Micheal Jackson

Samiya Lee they did that for him because he had passed away a week before the awards. It was a beautiful show to say it was last minute!

Samiya Lee Don’t ever compare anyone to MJ and he had passed always

Man, I can't remember? Are you referring to 'Hey Lover' from his show? Somebody answer lol

@@jburr2107 Look at my comment in the replies to my original comment!

Yes, he always!

His first album in the mid 90s was mostly ballads

Too busy trying to be young and do the jiggy bs
