Ledisi definitely doesn't get the recognition she clearly deserves
She really doesn't
She’s no joke! A consummate professional with a sweet spirit, and vocals to match!
Hello record producers!
Hello talent agents...
She is incredible! Please make her as famous as Whitney🏵️, Mariah, Jill Scott, Selena Quintanilla 🌹, Aretha💮, Mary J, Sade💃🏿🌺... 🤑♥️
She was going full Aretha at the end there...just stunning!
Idk, sounds like she can’t hit and sustain them high notes. So she tries to add side comments to fill in her errors. Felt like fergie singing the nation anthem lol.
The tough thing about Anita's songs is that they were designed for her voice so hard to hear them in any other way❤️
Yes indeed.
Very true 💯
This a fact because my first 20 years of life I always assumed toni braxtons’ “love shoulda bought you home” I always assumed it was Anita Baker. Same day I learned it was toni I found out it was originally written for anita
Except Lalah Hathaway. 🤎 She sang “Angel” exceptionally! 🤎
Except for Beyoncé she ate this song tf up
I'm convinced Ledisi has no sweat glands. The girl does not break a sweat when she sings. Flawless!
Anita is so grateful that Ledisi was selected to perform this beautiful ballad.
Young folks. Take notes. Real music
Speak Truth Videos Yasssss!!! They need to know!!!🙌🏾
Speak Truth Videos I love Anita Baker! Only 19 but she’s definitely my favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️
its boring
LadyiSh09 why? Can't you enjoy both?
Speak Truth Videos yes indeed
Anita has never put out a bad album, but the songs from her first three albums made her career. The songs are timeless! I still can't believe I first heard her 40 years ago, in 1978. It's now 2018 and Anita's music and talent are still relevant and loved today.
Great comment!
DID SHE JUST RAISE THE KEY??? Omg, this girl never stops to amaze me
Ledsi so underated she can sangggg
You can totally tell Ms. Baker loves her voice! I can't listen to any of her songs without starting to sing.
Ledisi has one of the most beautiful voices.
Always using Ledisi for your tributes BET...she does make her own great music if y'all don't know
Ledisi is the tribute Queen
I feel the same about fantasia but man can they kill a tribute!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾LEDISI YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT WELL DESERVED QUEEN BAKER !
Nekay O this was very pitchy she was off Ki and straining not really good performance at all and she's a good singer
She is a phenomenal singer Ledisi is my baby! ❤️
GotAL2Say The nerve. Ledisi can sing. This wasn’t the right song but she’s not out of her league.
Anita Baker is still beautiful!!
Something they will never take away from black folks. SOUL!!!!!!!!
Anita should have her a nice tribute special - hour long... Toni should be there. Brandy too (remember she sung You Bring Me Joy?) also, Jojo (who did a nice Caught Up in the Rapture cover). They could've got Syleena Johnson. People with some buttery low registers and smooth tones. That would be fire.
Cory Ballad Yep, TONI out of All the Divas would have been the PERFECT pick to do the Tribute!!!! 100%
Cory Ballad daaaang you pullin up alll the goodies 🎤🎤🎤
Troy Walker Anita is Toni's idol. If she wasn't sick I'm positive she would've slayyyyed it
Jazzmine sullivan would have been nice to hear
Agree
So true Toni Braxton and of course Queen Brandi
They got real singers to do this tribute as it should be. That’s respect for an icon.
Nice!!!!! Congrats to Anita baker for winning the lifetime achievement award.
FINALLY!
Amazing. Phenomenal Performance
Ledisi never disappoints!
I was born in 1984 and my parents used to play Anita Baker in our household all the time in the late 80's and early 90's. Great childhood memories.
This woman got some pipes for real!! Incredible range 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Anita had tears in her eyes!!! Yes girl she did that 🙏🏾♥️
These tributes should be an even bigger testament to Anita's contribution to R&B. She had some vocal powerhouses sing these songs, but they still couldn't quite do her songs justice. Ms. Baker's beautiful contralto rightfully deserves its own lane.
They should of asked Tamia again !!
nick smith 💯💯💯💯and Beyoncé her version to this was amazing and tamia killed it when she sang in the last tribute to the amazing Anita Baker
Quinshaun Pipes I love Beyoncè's version of Sweet Love. It's a straight tear jerker make you wipe the corner of your eye. If I'm not mistaken Tamia sung Anita's Giving You The Best That I Got. I don't remember her singing Sweet Love
I agree! And Lalah Hathaway!
Yes!!!!
Truuueeee
My mama used to play Anita Baker out!!!! She needs a whole festival dedicated to her 😅 I love her music 💯
I feel no one can do justice to her songs..Anita is on another level.
SING GURL! YASSSSSS! I love Ledisi! She's so underrated! Great Job! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ledisi always be just jamming on stage she turn every song into her own🤣
I love Anita Baker that's my girl she well deserves this tribute....you betta sang ❤❤❤❤
Real music

EAST OAKLAND!!! SKYLINE CLASS OF 88!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️ LOVE ME some Ledisi!!!
Ledisi you did that girl. That is not an easy song to sing and you killed that! ❤️
Go Ledisi, one of my favs! She killed it! Honor to you Anita Baker, thanks for all the years of music you made for us with your soultry voice!
Why in the Hell wouldn't they get Toni Braxton to take part in a Anita Baker tribute?
She & Anita both have that deeper tone to their voices, that would've just made sense to have Toni there.
QUEENKIM4EVER YEP!!! That's Exactly what I said 100%
Yeah but toni isnt really a good live performer like that
Toni was a great live performer and probably still has the chops but sadly she has sufurred from lupus for a while now...
Toni should have introduced her bc she helped contribute to Toni's introduction to the world. Fr
If it wasn’t for Anita Baker turning down The Boomarang soundtrack who knows where Toni Braxton would be right now
LEDISI NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION, i found her since aretha’s tribute that “aint no way” is everything and i really cant get enough of her talent since that, SHE NEEDSMORE RECOGNITION!!!!!
Ledisi just had me in tears and wiggling my hips. I love her!
I remember the first time I heard Anita Baker's amazing voice. She was in a group called Chapter 8-I just wanna be your girl. Real music!!!
I think Anita Baker tributes are my fave: she has the best soulful songs- everything is about love and feeling good.
Music brings everyone together and that is evident throughout this tribute. I love how even the younger generation in the audience sang along and was jamming!
I love all her songs!! Congratulations Anita Baker!
Shamika Oliver Adams next year it should be Mariah Carey
Black queens 🤩🤩 👑
Ledisi really out did herself, beautiful, had Anita on her feet, brought her to tears it was so fabulous!, really feeling her song, by Ledisi.
Ledisi ,,she is a great singer
YOLANDA ADAMS WENT OFF OMG, SHE HAD THE BIGGEST VOICE.
FACTS
That is very true!
Ledisi is absolutely perfection, in vision as well as song!!!!
Yes, she is!!!!
Her voice is something else….she can blow! Its not too many singers who really have a beautiful voice like this frfr
You know someone is AMAZING when 20 30 + years later, no matter does your songs better. Even amazing singers.
Childish Gambino just got inspired
Man those ba kground singers are on point
Background

Beyoutiful_ Dimples #LandonsMoM he was definitely grooving
Yes, Wale was grooving!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ledisi on Questlove Supreme brought me here….. Wow!!!!! Beautiful!!! To be able to effortlessly body an Anita Baker song like that, is remarkable!
Ask a bunch of 80's 90's kids how they learned how many days was in a year we all say Anita Baker.
I love Yolanda Adams. She saved this tribute😍
Andre Skeet I was crying her voice is awesone
Yes she did!!! Yolanda Did That. But where is her performance?

Woman is staring right at her, that gives me butterflies just watching Ledisi perform Anita's song
Ledisi soooooooooo amazing.
The beautiful Ledisi!!!! Yaaaassss!!!!
Yeeeessss, that's her!!!!
Anita cried
Ebony Da'shay you saw when she passed out lol
I always enjoy Ledisi.
Nothing like Ms Baker for this song
I love these specials SO much BET. This one is unbelievably special - to see Anita's sweet endearing expressions of gratitude and joy - and all of the crowd singing along and enjoying such a celebration!! This show is unforgettable.
ray jay don't even know the words @ :34 sit down lil boy, this is grown folks music
I love me some Anita! She carried every performance with her supportand love.
She hit that high note effortlessly
Now I love me some Anita Baker but Tina Turner is way overdue for a lifetime achievement award
Dreday Allday Everyday Tina wants nothing to do with America
Jay thomas I know but maybe she can send her performance and thanks on video like Beyonce lol
Tina ain't showing up to no BET awards
She's not Black anymore!!
Andre Jackson I don’t think they would do one for her because Tina’s catalog is borders on rock music.
I know she isn't in this video but YOLANDA smh YOLANDA ADAMS shut it down!!! There was no need for anymore show after that. Uggghhh SHE KILT IT 💯
What did Yolanda sing? I want to see that!
Love her so much
Beautiful woman with a very beautiful voice Weldon more Grace on you ma
gold mind I loved it 💯 inspiration too the youth and the older listen ears all opening ...
That Was Beautiful!
Stunning to say the least. A truly talented performer honoring a Stella woman, Ms. Anita Baker. You brightened by days. Thank you.
LEDISI IS A CLASSIC BEAUTY, I LOVE HER VOICE AND STYLE!!!
I love that head groove Anita does with here songs .Ledesi can sanngggg beautiful.
Where’s Lalah Hathaway, Tamia, Toni Braxton, and Dionne Farris? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Great job ladies though
Lalah was in Virginia at a Jazz Fest.
& KeKe Wyatt
Stephen Jackson TONI ♥
Tamia unfortunately (for this performance that is, though with how it turned out, maybe that was also a good thing) was out in Detroit doing another venue.
Stephen Jackson
Grrrr! Who was in charge of scheduling? First thing off the bat they should have moved heaven and earth to get the right tones to cover Anita’s jewels! Honnneeeeeyyy Donny’s daughter puts some extra shine on Angel!!
Everyone was making it seam like Ledisi sound Bad..smh Sing Ledisi.
She's a dramatic soprano, that vocal type can't really sing in the 2 octave which is where Anita voice is
Zeek Street but she can still sing..
@@ZeekStreet nah Ledisi’s range is ridiculous!
Great job Ledisi!!!!
I wanna hv a cool and talented mom like Anita, how lucky his kids are
YOLANDA!!!!!
A minha música preferida na vida toda ❤❤❤😊😊
How can I be 28 and be asking where has real music like this gone 🔥
aww anita wiped her eyes yea she deserves the tribute she a legend she up there
Saaaannnnngggggg !
Yolanda Adams brought tears to my eyes
Yes, she brought!
She always on point !!!!
Love Anita Baker ❣️💖💖💖✊🏾😘
Dionne Farris definetly would have snatched wigs had she been added to the lineup.
WHERE IS LALAH HATHAWAY???
Great performance! Talent and respect for the ladies. Real ladies. Thank you
I grew up in a time when people said Anita couldn't sing she was ugly etc etc
I'm so happy she is receiving this award it's long overdue and deserved
Damn when we didn't settle for trash packaged as R&B....
Dr Phot open your ears! Maybe the trash in there! As you can see Anita enjoyed it and has always loved Ledisi! Call us when they do your tribute
YOLANDA killed it
Yes, SHE killed it!
You can tell Mrs. Anita Baker is so touch by theses ladies singing her hit songs.
Great arrangement, orchestration, and preformance. Very moving!
I thought that this year award show wasn't the same as year before award show nobody seem to be hyped and excited about this year
Jasper Everson yeah the energy was dead from the start. The world is in a really bad state. I think it's getting harder to distract ppl.
starseoul 22 You make a good point. The audience was lackluster at best and anytime the host has to resort to literally cursing out the crowd, you know it was bad! The best part of the show for me was the Anita Baker tribute and I thought the previous tribute a few years back runs circles around this one. Maybe all of the current negativity going on in the country has had a profound effect on how we all vibe with each other.
All the people hating guess what queen anita loved it therefore y'all opinion don't matter.😜😂
