Fooled Ya Baby

Nikka Costa performing on Tavis Smiley Show

[@EmmyWagner]

Nikka is more than talented! She's one of my references as a musician, soul singer, and songwriter. That's a God' gift, my friends! I'm a fan.

[@jaybay123]

this is astounding. this is what we should aspire to.

[@Brinah]

she sings with such rawness, it's so real; you can feel the anguish with every note. None of today's artists get it

[@medsimvallejo]

Serious Talent!!! Love her music...Rock On Sista!!!

[@Pink8Starburst]

This was my first time seeing her perform live (but not my first time hearing her) & ever since then, I've been on this chick's bandwagon. I love her.

[@lovekarleigh]

NIkka Costa would sing so many of these super-famous chicks under the table.... She is one of the only artists out there making REAL music anymore!!!!! I guess being one of the few really makes her stand out though. Go Nikka!

[@bubblesui]

Love it she is wonderful

[@edstar101]

Nikka Costa is awesome!! I have never seen anyone deliver so much soul and funk in my whole life!!! She brings something that is hard to achieve when she performs and both her albums deliver and new and amazing genre of music suitable for Nikka Costa to be able to shake her ass around!!

[@JACKSONZDADDY]

love blusey woman voces she is way cool! 1st ive heard her.only looked her up cause adam lambert mentioned her!!!

[@michaelgregg1897]

It still baffles me how this epic voice never became known to the World. Nikka Costa has more talent in her little finger than 99% of the crap music now

[@PeekaPeep]

Man, that's why I love Nikka so damn much right now. She honestly GETS IT!!! She's not into making the "bling" or getting her image plastered all over the place. Nope, she just wants to have a good time with the rest of us through her music. And yeah, she truly is something else on stage. That's what really seperates the good ones from the "novelty acts", you know-lol! >;-)

[@dlcowh2]

Thanks :) I will def check that website out.

[@mmyt68]

So awesome 👏

[@teasnax]

@gyrl1da16 ~ word up. she's also very much a LIVE artist. all those other divas don't sound as good as she does live, and none of them can work a stage like she does ~ a true showwoman! when you see her, it's her, the band and the stage. ain't no bullshit theatrics or extra visuals. Mz. Costa lightin' the stage up is all you need!!!!

[@MysticDiamond]

I loove Nikka!! She just had a baby a little while ago. You can check her myspace page and see pics. I can't wait until she releases more material!!!!!

[@booginas]

Chile, you KNOW this comment is old, talking bout some Myspace, LOL. Well, Facebook came in & shut that shit ALL the way down. But I've yet to see pictures of her baby and that child has to be about 10 or 11 by now.

[@marcusparks]

I saw this show and always wanted to see it again. Thanks for posting!!

[@Anneland]

"I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby I wish I could tell ya, how much I love ya Fooled ya baby, fooled ya But I'm the fool I count the hours till I see your face I'd stop the world from turnin' out in outer space I'd get back the time that's been erased Just to have you near me, just to hear you say That I'm yours till the day you die And ain't nobody else in your life Ain't nobody ever made me feel Sexy like I was wearin' a new pair of heels......" Thank you Nikka for my Heart's Voice

[@drstrange629]

I wanna play in her band so bad!!

[@teasnax]

i don't know if anyone's commented on it yet how badass it is that she's just HOLDing that tambourine! i don't know what was going through her mind at the performance, but i wondered if she just liked the seething intensity with the downplayed comping she had and figured the 16th notes woulda been "too much." she's a true artist.... maybe the tambourine was a tribute to the bootyshaker that this song inherently is...? whatever. Nikka's "cooking" is good either way!

[@junio2383]

I can't grow tired of being amazed by this bitch. Look at that. What control she displays and yet you know it's coming from deep inside, from an honest place. It's incredible. I got to see her while she was on the road promoting her last album, Can'tneverdidnothin', and I even got to meet her. The woman is just delish!

[@caliaid]

She's AMAZING live. Thanks for posting, love her!

[@SurroundedByGreen]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcusparks]

Marry me, Nikka!!!

[@lyricalkismet]

She does.

[@Estercharme]

Nikka sou sua fa brasileira adoro suas musicas alem de te achar muito linda

[@latenightnap]

Yeah! feelin that!

[@Charlie-qb9lp]

I'm still here baby ...

[@marcusparks]

I want this video on my iPod!!!!

[@dlcowh2]

I seriously listened to this song the other night non-stop on the ipod. I came across it on one of my old playlists. Where is she now? Has she released another album recently?

[@PeekaPeep]

Pebble to a Pearl. Due out next month. Go to the Concord Music Group website and check out the audio samples. Gotta tell ya, she lined up some Grade-A talent for that one... >;-)

[@TVP4]

Yeah. She reminds me of Anastasia and Joss Stone.

[@TVP4]

Did you leave after Nikka went off stage? How crazy would it be if after Nikka went off stage half the stadium left? Lol!

[@TVP4]

@jacqdarr Very true

[@marcusparks]

I think it was around 2004...I think...

[@Frenchinmiami]

Amazing voice. Reminds me also of Anastasia but with much more strength and rawness. She truly sounds genuine, just like Janis was. Does she write her own materiual?

[@booginas]

Yeah. She writes her own stuff.

[@TVP4]

When was this? I can't believe I missed it!
