WE LOVE THIS!!! ANITA BAKER - CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE (REACTION)

[@martinaevans6860]

My favorite female artist. I loved seeing her on Mother's Day. A Class All Her Own: Miss Anita Baker is one of the most gifted, elegant, professional, dynamic, artists I've ever seen. She was better than before and her voice is better than ever. The (new) sound system at the arena tried but could not keep up with her and she patiently waited until they got it right. Graceful, impeccable and unapologetic for expecting excellence. Anita Baker's band, background singers, dancers, everybody looked and sounded first class. Anita gave a 2 hour performance with an encore, asking for requests from the audience. We didn't want to leave. At times, we just sat there in awe, watching this little lady with that grand, beautiful voice. All in all, one of the best shows I've seen in years and one of my top 3 ever. A Beautiful Mother’s Day

Grown folks music is right!!! A lot of us are here because of this one song!!! Lol!

[@knoxscott65able]

Anita Baker's is in my top 5 greatest female vocalists of all time. I wore out 2 cassettes of Rapture back in the day. Her voice is so soothing! Great reaction!

[@senseandsensibility3636]

You bring me joy is another beautiful song.

This album (Rapture)was so hot when it was released back in 1986, everybody had it, and everybody was playing it everywhere you went. And everybody loved it so much that they couldn’t get enough, so we all went out and got her first album( The Songstress from 1983), so she had two albums at the top of the R&B charts .

How nice it is to see how Anita Baker's voice and class touch the hearts of new generations.

[@liquidationkingla5706]

Anita Baker on of the few artist that sound better live then on CD.. The emotion she sings with; the way her entire body moves and sings with rhythm.... One of a KIND!!!

Finally!

[@renepenn07]

I have always loved Anita Baker! Her voice is like an angel singing! ❤️

[@Lovejazz01]

Maybe one day they will have a new young artist come on the music scene that will be the new Anita Baker and and make jazzy love songs popular with young people again, for young folks anyway, because thankfully, we experienced Anita Baker as she became a superstar back in the day, and new generations are discovering and rediscovering her these days. Can’t wait to see her live in Memphis in November 2023!

[@autumnloverjenn8859]

Aaaaawwwwwww I love to see the love you have for each other! wow! Gave me chills but such great feeling! Thank you two for spreading the love!!!!!🥰😍✌🙏

[@Coowallsky]

The synth work is perfect because it's not overdone and adds perfect accent when necessary.

[@A1since1976]

Anita Baker Jazz / Soul / Blues all rapped up into one ! Just beautiful , romantic ,She is the whole package! Shawn cracked me up ! I don`t hear all she`s saying , it don`t matter ,because it`s so beautiful ! agreed! A lot of babies were made because of that music! Love to all!

[@krober147]

Nothing like Anita Baker and the 80s Yes sir/Yes ma'am ❤

[@danielcook2430]

What memories to this song on the dance floor back in the eighties she is totally a sweetheart Anita Baker, love her music

[@rockalittl]

One of my all time favorite singers. I grew up listening to Anita and still jam her to this day. I'm a singer and this woman was a huge influence on me.

[@donaldshrader4612]

I couldn't wait to hear it on the radio back in the 80's. One of my favorites for sure.

[@dalee72]

Just as Sade sang "Hang on to your love." React to that song and the rest of Anita Baker and Sade's catalogue please.

[@ShadowHawk4219]

I agree David Lee. Those 2 were powerhouses back in the day.

[@millpark26]

As always…great reaction! I’d love for you to discover Miss Oleta Adams. Especially, her classic “Get here”. ❤️

[@CrazyBeatbox]

I used to listen to this in my car-on repeat - when I still had my CD player❤

[@princedejour2686]

Anita Baker was a truly great singer! She also had some hits with a grioup that she was in! Angel is probably my favorite song! !

[@tommythompson9565]

Y'all's reaction here blessed my soul. Mel -- if you are half as wonderful a person as the look your way from Shawn in this video portrays, you are a rare woman. And I am sure you are the diamond that he esteems you to be. Your countenance always shines in your videos. And yes -- we all see the googly eyes that you regularly flash Shawn's way. No doubt he is a true man ... kind yet strong in character. Love the reaction. Anita Baker is special. As you both already know.

[@joelliebler5690]

A great artist! One of my all time favorite rand b performers. I saw her in concert when she came out of a 7 year hiatus while she was bringing up her young children . That was about twenty years ago. A small venu on Long Island, New York!

[@WizardofOwls]

I LOVE Anita! Beautiful lady with a GORGEOUS voice!

[@vickismith4180]

My favorite Anita song is "Good Love!"

[@Niecy70]

Just a glorious song! One of her first that ever came out and I love it to this day❤

[@jeffalger5237]

Sweet Love is awesome. Everything Anita does is flawless.

[@raycewilliams3300]

What a voice ! I went out and bought this CD as soon as I heard this song on FM radio. She is a class act for sure and has the voice of an angel. Great reaction. Take care.

[@horacerobinson7149]

Great song it's impossible to go wrong with Anita Baker please check out No More Tears (1983) from her first Solo album the songstress she kills it.

[@craigmarkowski7156]

I was 22 when this album came out and this is right around the same time Sade's 1st album came out ! Couldn't run to the record store fast enough to buy both those albums ! I have every Sade album ever produced ! I have 600 C d's in my music collection , If someone told me I had to get rid of every CD except my top 10 favorites ,This album Rapture would be in that top 10 ! I'll chop your hands off if you try to take away any of my Anita Baker or Sade Cd's !

Hi Shawn and Mel, I'm new to your channel and wondered how do I request? Thank you both for some wonderful reactions.

THE SONGSTRESS! Stuning human being. She was part of the 80s MASSIVE infusion of great music. Genres were a joke!!!! Just depended what you were the in mood for! Anita = TOTAL CLASS.....notice how Mary Blige wouldnt wear the skimpy clothes for the superbowl halftime show!!!! They put her on anyway and everyone LOVED her! =Anita Baker = CLASS

Anita is touring even now and she was just recently in B'more, guys.

[@bk4062]

Hi Steven, Anita passed away in January 2023. I believe It was cancer. So very sad. When I first heard Anita sing, I couldn't stop listening! I'm the kind of person that's in love with love & she puts It out on fire. Even now, I remember how I felt when listening to her & wanting to love & be loved by someone. Well, that love never came but a girl can still dream, can't she❣

[@LaptopLarry330]

This song and singer was a great choice. Anita Baker was a wonderful Jazz Pop singer during the 1980s. Bad management since the 1990s has kept Baker from becoming a bigger music star than she should be today.
