FACTS

[@tdomino06]

What I love about Stephanie Mills and Anita Baker,they both always complimenting each other on twitter and her not trying to upstage one another..Great to see Classic acts come together like this!..

[@reginabellestar]

so rare to hear and see real singers and real artistry. Wow i miss Anita Baker, Stephanie Mills, Whitney, Randy Crawford, Deniece williams, Oleta Adams, Martha Wash, Minnie Riperton, Natalie Cole and all real singers. Today 's so caleld singers are crap. Keep singing Steph Nita

[@jayd8547]

viveka very well said! Randy never got the credit she still deserves. At least not here in the states. Today’s artists can’t hold a candle to these ladies! Anita is my favorite!

[@inspirebymikaeli3502]

viveka oh yeah

[@debgibson1334]

viveka Exactly....it’s plenty of garbage out now!!

[@bumperstickersamen]

IF SHE WASNT SINGING BACKGROUND, SHE WASNT SINGING. SHE WASNT TRYING TO TAKE THE STAGE. SHE WAS SINGING BACKGROUND WITH HUMILITY

[@michaelstratton6701]

Anita Baker, GOAT, she showed class and respect

[@vtymes1982]

Anita Baker is the epitome of class and respect. Loved them both

[@tonytownsend9479]

I think that people on these posts take things out of context. 1. Stephanie and Anita enjoy each other musically. 2. Anita would not have been on that stage unless Stephanie asked her. 3. Let's stop talking about nonsense where these woman's sizes are concerned. They are legends and they still have there voices. Let's appreciate them while they are still here. We don't have that many left. They are fabulous....

[@joycecunningham8785]

Tony Townsend they do take things out if context. .people no days like to see black women fight on each other sad

[@wesgriffin6081]

Tony Townsend Exactly. Stephenie actually asked Anita at the very beginning of the song, to come up. They ARE friends for sure.

[@rudolphmcneill3333]

Tony Townsend AMEN!!!

[@shirleybutler2623]

Tony Townsend OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT 4REAL! !

[@revferguson552]

Anita and Mills are two living legends. Dare voices are that of angels. I want to marry them. The two of them still look Sexy. God knows just the sound of there voice make my blood rush. SMILE JESUS LOVE you.

Anita is a real friend. She just was feeling her friends. Performance and was like girl. Let me do back ground for u ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mennis1966]

They are friends, the public is always trying to make it a competitive thing, they love each other and support each other as they should.

[@debgibson1334]

What are the chances of having two ICONS on the stage at an outdoor concert at the same time!!! I would’ve passed out!!

All i can say is that the lady Anita Baker still got it.

Stephanie looks like she is having the time of her life!!

[@traday590]

I was at this concert. Wild that Anita joined the backup singers with no recognition. She just blended in. Steph is AMAZING!!!

[@8thWonderr1]

These ladies are the soundtrack to my childhood. 80zbaby 👌

[@TheMrpoet]

God moved through Anita so powerfully that she had no choice but to get on the mike and make music history with her good friend Stephanie.

[@iluvmyboba]

Why these two never got together back in the late 80's for a duet is beyond me. They are both wonderfully talented singers.

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

Boy!! what a show of Support. Love you Anita Baker you're a TRUE friend. Love you, Ms. Stephanie Mills. That was an Awesome performance.

[@abrahamlincoln5035]

ANITA BAKER IN THE BACKGROUND HAVING A BALL.....LOVE IT.

[@SIZTUHK]

I just love the both of them. They would have had to carry me out of there if I could have witnessed this live. Thanks so much for posting. Love it!

[@apeachy1646]

Love love love Stephanie Mills...I grew up listening to her music. Her, Patti Labelle, Anita Baker and Natalie Cole have voices of Angels and it's so distinctive and unique...the first drop of their voice you immediately know who they are...this was a time when people could sing sing with their own voices...❤❤

[@WillieMeetsWorld]

Didn't you just love how respectful Anita was to stand back with the background singers and not upstage Stephanie. I love AB!

[@vtymes1982]

Me too . Always a class act.

Amen because she real lady

This Stephanie ' s song so why would Anita try to upstage her.

The two "greats of R&B". I love the way they feed off of each other in this beautiful ballad. Real music and real voices-this concept of music is becoming is extinct now. ❤️❤️❤️

stephanie mills is 57 and anita is 56 and after hearing their beautiful voices, their weight is the comment?! They look great and still beautiful and their voices are wonderful! shame on you!

[@da1kid101]

i totally agree with you, everyone puts on weight as they get older its called life. it's amazing how ppl love to look for the negative in everything

Yeesss!!! I love this combination...Stephanie and Anita! Anita was feelin' this song....I've watched this 4x already!!! Love it...thanks for posting!!!

[@TheMitchellds2]

I love BOTH of these ladies & daisylicious was so on point. True singers never feel the need to be selfish when performing and they truly appreciate the guest appearance of other artist. Neither of these phenominal singers need to clammer for stage presence or an audience. Both FIRST CLASS ACTS!

[@alanliddell2281]

Mitchell Stephens Amen.

[@YeahIlikethisone2]

So true! They were both on point. Anita Baker ain't no back up singer tho. Lol

[@brendarayford6304]

Two of my favorite female singers, Stephanie and Anita. Stephanie has such a rich beautiful voice. Maybe it's because she didn't cross over but I feel like she is underrated. She deserves her flowers NOW! ❤❤❤❤❤
