i liked all those songs but i believe that anita and michael's songs were the two that stood out to me. only because you can play them both now and they don't sound dated....i feel those are always the best...the timeless songs
my homegirl anita has one of the best voices of our time!....though she is highly underrated ....one of my favorite songs...my favorite song by her....look at those shoulder pads!
It was a tough category, but the GYTB track was a big hit for Anita. Remember too it had big airplay on the R & B and the pop charts as well as 'Man in the Mirror' single. Additionally GYTB was a single as well the title of the album and her tour, so sales /chart wise it was 'big'.
OMG you are SOOOOOO right!!! And...ANITA BAKER!!!! Music has just gone so far off course since then...granted, there are a few good songs and artists....BUT....NOTHING LIKE THE 80s! :)
Anita's total snooze fest was not it! They also gave her best Urban Contempo. That was them playing it safe Keep her boring ass in the adult Contempo, please!! that year the Urban hits of Guy Vanessa Williams, Bobby Brown, ect..That whole "New Jack Swing Era" was lit. Fun fact: BB's "My Perogative" was just one of two jams Vanessa Williams was given to release, got pregnant and Bobby snatched MP and Pebbles stole " Girlfriend" thanks to the thirst trap himself LA Reid, and left us with the "The Right Stuff" bb!

Should have been man in the mirror - amazing track and my favourite MJ song
Anita’s music is timeless. Well-deserved win
I'm glad the song did do very well with it being a very personal song of hers. It has truly become a classic in itself.
God Bless you Anita Baker
She deserved that award shes marvelous
Tough category loved Anita turned and paid respect to Bobby at 1:28 because he was a force back then as well🖤🖤
Bobby was the hottest thing that whole year.
Best R&B again.

What did Man In The Mirror win?!? 😤 This is insane
@Cmar102 That is Melissa Manchester
How can man in the mirror lose to that? How can man in the mirror lose to anything?
It's blossoms mother
Dafuq Man in The Mirror should be
Who is that lady with The Boys ?
Charles Marcus agreed with you on that, who is that lady with the boys.
That's Melissa Manchester....she had a couple of hit songs in the mid 70's....goggle her.,she might have a video here on you tube.
key22ks She won a Grammy for You should hear how she talks about you!
Anita Baker has hits these kids only saying Bobbi cause of a film they jus watch 😒
Exactly. They bugging. Look at that category- all of those songs were good and hits.
Well I’m old enough to remember. I think Bobby or Michael should’ve won. They were bigger stars with more hit songs.
MJ was bigger and more commercial. Anita was as big as Bobby and certainly had more hits then. Every song she did was popular
Anita's total snooze fest was not it! They also gave her best Urban Contempo. That was them playing it safe

@@swingmob9294I agree. MJ personally to me should've won because he was still in his prime but I wpuld undertstand if Bobby won.
Bobby should of won that
How
That's only YOUR opinion
exactly!
what song in the fist intro??
The Soul Train theme TSOP (1987 version)
Who are those young men? Is that ABC?
The BOYS
i thought that was abc too!
Man in the mirror
.
Ain’t no way she beat Man In the mirror. Her song was Good but not better than that song
Glad brown didn’t win it
