Just wanted to let all the Anita Baker fans know. I can't wait to hear her perform even though it will be a short performance. Its good to know she is representing for Detroit. Aretha Franklin will be singing next Tuesday I believe. Happy Game Watching!!!!

Yeah. It sounded rough.

Utterly perturbed that the mic kept going out. Don't you just love her though? She's the most down to earth artist I know. We know she rocked it even though we couldn't hear the entire song.

I thought it was just my TV. I heard that she was going to sing on the radio yesterday, I tuned in just in time to hear her. I must say she still has a strong set of pipes. It was good to see and hear her.

Her album is supposed to come out in September. I wish she would be on the Essence line-up this year. SHE TORE IT UP LAST YEAR!

My 12 year old niece asked, "who is that?" Of course I told her. She says, "ohhh she can't sing."

I said "THAT'S ANITA BAKER, plus the audio is messed up!!!!"

She said, "I don't care she. She still can't sing."

I told her to tell her parents that! They loved Anita, especially her father.

Please tell her that the American Idol, Britney Spears, and all that other random pop/R&B mess that she is used to is NOT singing. Anita will SLAUGHTER Fantasia in a singing contest ANY day. Even though their styles are different, Anita can wipe the floor with some of the so-called "singers" out here today. There is no comparison.
