I loved how Charlemagne didn't sit until she sat. She is ROYALTY. To me anyway.

[@madisonmilan1367]

Ashley Campbell Yes she is royalty for real.👑🙌

[@donnaokafor]

Ashley Campbell yes that was special for realm

[@theresadavis7604]

Royalty to me too! Yess i loved that he said that.

[@viviozza6838]

noticed ellen degeneres does that with all her guests too, so respectful

[@claudiaedwards8324]

He had some decency cause usually he is a smart-mouth

[@godsson1860]

She has aged gracefully. Basically still looks and sounds the same.

[@jakojii]

Black don't crack 😉

[@journalism101]

Anita Baker still looks gorgeous. I thank her music for allowing great bonding time between my mother and I in the car.

[@snobbypolitics7792]

I mad they left Toni BRAXTON out the tribute to Anita. Toni has ALWAYS said, she has a career BECAUSE of Anita. #Crazy!

[@angeljohnson6665]

Snobby Politics yes

[@kingwyse6327]

@@angeljohnson6665 love Shouldve brung you home was giving to Toni from Anita

[@devzeppilin]

@@kingwyse6327 Babyface wrote it for Anita but she declined it.

[@Worme95]

@@devzeppilin she was pregnant at the time.

[@jayd8547]

Toni as well as MJB. Toni is the only one (in my own personal opinion) who can even come close to Anita’s tone/range. She should have def been included.

[@roseofsharon1009]

I am overjoyed that Ms. Anita showed Lil' Mama some love. I love her message of unity with the new and vereran artists. Charlemagne was an example of breaking the spirit of a young artist when he should use his platform to uplift them.

[@joycecunningham8785]

it's all about presentation, smokey robinson said it one time before, when he received the lifetime achievement award.

[@HumanNature1117]

Caught up in the rapture of love. Nothing else can compare......We Love you, Miss Baker!!!

[@5hadœwbånnedbyyou]

HumanNature1117 When I feel the magic of youuu 😁😁

[@Littlething41]

Patti Labelle once called Anita Baker, "Lil Girl!" hahaha when Ms. Patti speaks.........

[@iveywebb]

I rather hear Anita sing than Patty & I love Patty.

[@sweetangelz1126]

Vernon Smith haha I know

[@mickeyrosa7226]

Love my fellow Aquarian Miss Anita Baker. From her very first album I was in awe of her. I was listening to her music back in the day when young people didn't listen to this kind of music. She's just so classy and talented.

[@remosely4478]

Mickey Rosa I jus turned 30 and Ms Baker was the only female signer I listened to growing up. Her music, her swag, her nonsense so humbling love her!

[@mickeyrosa7226]

Glad that you like her and some of you young people can appreciate her. I'm 50 years old now and back then a lot of hip hop and dance music was the craze. I made sure I kept an open mind to all types of genres. There's so much real music out there to appreciate.

[@rubenmercado3326]

Anita is one of the greatest singers I have ever heard, bless her voice forever 🥰🥰🥰

[@tirawideman]

This is my 1st time ever seen a interview with miss Anita Baker. I'm floored by hearing her even talk she sounds beautiful just like how she sings

[@akimmalik1329]

Anita very professional and humble.That was good when she explained the Patti Labelle story and understanding it was coming from a caring place.

[@DonDon-up8wf]

Farewell, I hate that word. Anita is just HEAVEN-sent, that's all. A gift from God that we could enjoy. Thank You/you!!!...

[@corneliuswhite5139]

I got goosebumps just from seeing her in this video!😄 Dang, the thirst for "real good feel good" music is Real! 😅

[@1csudds]

Even just her speaking voice is so melodic

[@lorij3738]

Ms. Baker is gracious and humble. Her mellow persona comes through in her music. 🎶 Songstress deserves every accolade. 👏🏽 'No One In The World' like Anita Baker, one of the best female vocalists on the planet.

[@blain147]

I would really like to see Sade be awarded as well. They deserve it more than you know. But, I love me some Anita Baker, and she's a Detroit native awesome. Her & Sade would be sublime singing together.

[@Faaade_]

Auntie Anita!!

[@shawngatewood3673]

EclecticFlavor. Grandma Anita....

[@shawtykfly]

Am I the only one that feel like Toni Braxton should’ve song one of Anita Baker songs? She should’ve been included in the tribute.

[@jajwuanlynn7356]

shawtykfly you not lying seeing that was a idol of hers

[@HollyGolightly74]

exactly. lalah? india.aria? come on now

[@ajsassy788]

shawtykfly Nope! Lol but I would have preferred Lalah sing "Angel" and the the little tribute she does on her cd.

[@eternalyfeful]

shawtykfly.....and I would add Chaka Khan and Mary. J. Blige, especially MJB.

[@joycecunningham8785]

no, they got the right people

[@sheildarobinson2195]

I just love her so much,I hope she doesn't stop recording the world would be lost without her voice

[@louisiana318ishify]

Just her speaking voice sounds so melodic and authoritative as a queen

[@TheShabazzProduction]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@samanthacrawford8389]

CLASSIC THE CLASSIEST!!!!! There can never be no other Anita Baker..these young people need to take a class trip with the classics and learn how to bring it back to the classy and resourcefulness of being strong black people and singing about it, talking about it, and being who we are... rachetness, degrading other especially women is not it!!! We are more back in the day no one disrespected women especially not MAMA!!! We need to bring it back the generation is lost we need those values back...

[@keeshamarie2889]

I ❤ seeing artists we rarely get to see. Its such a treat.

[@kimberleysmith9659]

I have loved this woman since the first day l heard her music

[@yg-lc4ll]

Anita Baker is the one that made 1990's the best. Heard her on 94.7, she can sing she can perform. Long Live the "QUEEN" Anita Baker! Been a fan for many years.

[@roguedriver4474]

There can be no other Anita Baker. So classy from the top of her head to the soles of her feet!!! These youngsters need to take a page from her book. I love her so much. Got a chance to see her live at Wingate Park in Brooklyn NY, some years ago. I will never forget it!!!!

[@geocyo8835]

Tami Roman referenced Ms. Badu at the end and you could tell it was completely LOST on Anita Baker! 😂😂😂😂 I love she so much!

[@madisonmilan1367]

Geo Cyo Right it was all crickets from Ms. Baker 😂

[@MannysMillennialMouth]

I don't understand why this was trending on Twitter like it was funny Like when is the random hate for Lil Mama going to stop

[@terryallen7853]

True words from a legend especially about what advice Patti gave her

[@i_am_legend7827]

Did Miss Anita say Miss Patti told her I love you little girl, but we’ve got to get that drag together!!! Lmfao.

[@LGKids]

Auntie Anita calming nerves and dropping nuggets of love! Humbleness at its best! Peace!

[@joshuadurham1257]

Her life sort of paralleled Marilyn Monroe in that they were both adopted and put through the foster care system and felt like they didn’t have a family but became excellent in their crafts...I respect this woman and love her music ...we all do...she’s real

[@kweenme8101]

I just clicked this video....im already soooo excited...OMG 😨 Aaaahhhh 😱 ANITA I LOVE YOUUUUuuu 😭 She was all that i expected and they host were as well. WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT was that when asked about todays rappers, she referenced Lil'Mama, (who most don't know about and who never REALLY made it big). Point being, what she has to say about young rappers is that yall stop being bout anything a long time ago and you wouldnt know or promote a good rapper if you had one.

[@cleopatrajones2024]

I have never heard of lil mama until this video.

[@1realOpinion]

A real one I seen her in Memphis
