I love how Anita is trying to teaching Fantasia how to integrate on stage if a singer calls her on stage. I can tell Fantasia was honored to be on stage with her but was scared of messing up since it was her first time meeting Anita. Anita is a legendary songstress who flows whenever she sings. One day Fantasia you will be able to do the same thing and will be able to sing freestyle on any song. Love you both! Such a great show.
I like most of what you said but Fantasia can freestyle on ANY song. I'm not a huge fan/follower of Fantasia's but I know she can sing and improvise on anything. Fantasia's problem is usually not knowing the lyrics and while Anita was directing her to the prompter on the monitors at the button of the stage, she may not know that Fantasia has trouble reading. That's most likely what the problem was with Fantasia not coming in earlier on the song.
Wow! Fantasia has been that one artist that the legends have blessed, admired and passed the torch down to. The Queen Aretha Franklin has dubbed her as the Princess of Soul can you blame her. She has Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan and now Legendary Angelic Jazz Songress Anita Baker backing and supporting her. She stands on the shoulders of giants, trailblazers, icons and legends.That speaks volumes of how much they adore, admire and respect your talent, gift, showmanship and voice. Phenomenal!
i guess but fantasia just hollers to me. she isn't trained. anita and the old school women, were actually trained by professionals in the train who had degrees in music. but i will take fantasia over these young white girls with no voices, claiming they're doing r&b.
I loved the respect Fantasia showed Anita Baker! And, I loved the fact that Anita Baker passed the touch to Fantasia by saying R&B music is in good hands. Yes, with Fantasia, it is. BRAVO!!
Anita Baker is still classy and confident in her musical talents to honor other artist although it is her show... pure classiness. We love her signature black attire and short hair cut. I hope to see her in concert, soon.
Nothing classy about to is stunt. It shows her insecurity & cattiness. She did Fantasia dirty, rehearsing her with Sweet Love, then upstaging her with this novel that even Anita dtsnt know all the words to. She's dirty.
Anita asked you to carry on plus asked her audience to support you on your journey Fantasia. So appreciate the love from a veteran singer who admires your talent as well. Surely you were shocked she asked you to sing with her but Anita gave you props girl!
Loyalty 77 not true. She practically lives in the gym, she has plenty of videos on her Instagram. That body is the result of consistent workouting since 2012 and eating healthy. Her trainers are really good too!
Black Messiah lol I was just saying almost the same thing. I said after lookin at her gorgeous Brown legs, that her body was like a strong beautiful, race horse
Even though Fantasia didn't know the lyrics, she is still a great singer. I love the fact that Anita invited her on stage with her and she was ad libbing like it ain't no tomorrow! Anita baker is classy and her voice is jazzy and her songs are just timeless!
Anita Baker you are a wonderful person, you are simply someone who knows how to bring people forward. Fantasia needs you to continue to speak life into her heart and Spirit. This woman has a supreme gift and you are able to see it and cultivate it. Thank you. Blessings!!!
Metallicgld12 .... Restraint my Ass!, that’s a lie!, if Fantasia knew that song, she would have blown the roof off that place....Homegurl can SANG!...Fannie be in a zone when she sings LOL! .... it’s a religious experience, she don’t play! 😂 I’ve seen this girl Live twice!
Metallicgld12 Fantasia can not out stage Anita Baker at any moment in her career if anything she would have embarassed herself if she tried. That song has a mouthfull of lyrics to recite let alone sing on stage from memory. Fantasia did what she was supposed to do in that particular moment.
I have never seen Fantasia nervous to sing and she sung with Legends....but Auntie Anita is walking talking music real music from the Soul- I love the fact that Anita baker crowned her and it was rightfully so ..... Two of my favorites 💕💪
DeSHAWN Bethel Fantasia is a gigantic fan of Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin who are also before her time.. and I'm only 24 years old and I know this song lol so I think its just that she hasn't listened to this particular song.
RyTy Jay_ I thought about that after I sent it. She knows the songs of her idols. I think she knew a song, but Anita brought her out on one she was unfamiliar with…
I agree..I think she heard it before but didn't know all the words..so when all else fails, just yell and ad lip lol..she pulled it off..Anita realized that she didn't know it I'm sure. I'm glad they got to meet.
Anita still has her impeccable range, work mama! Fantasia great job adlibing. It helps when you pull from your experiences. Gospel singers do it often.
Love Anita Baker and Fantasia I still have Anita Baker cds and I remember I had her on tape when I had a Walkman back in the day. I’m 54 ain’t nothing like old school music. And Fantasia brings life to everything she sings and she looks great
Heeey.. Both my Girls! Yay!🙌 What a Sweet collaboration! Fantasia can't listen to all the songs to know the words she got her own songs to remember! Lol.😁😂 But she laid the song out without the words! OUTSTANDING! 😍😘💕❤❣💞👏👍👍🙌✌
This was beautiful to me! Made me shed a tear or two! Beautiful moment to beautiful people! Amazing, this is what legends are made off! I salute you both, God bless and keep you💕
I love it!!!! 💝 Fantasia didn't know the words to that one! They still cut up!!! 💃Anita Baker should have sang that one where she clicks her heels like Dorothy. It reminds you of that Temptations step also. Lol. This lady is an absolute legend hands down. Fantasia is leaving her mark as well!
This is not one of Anita’s well known songs but it’s my favorite! I would have sang along but couldn’t hit the notes Fantasia hit😂 I wish she knew the lyrics, she would have torn it up!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 two legends ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Its not bout her knowing the words...Auntie Anita is passing the torch on to those that she feels is qualified to carry it....other legends should be as gracious for we only have a season with something and when its time to pass it on...pass it on
Sang Tashia! Even not knowing the words she sang and Anita passing the torch was beautiful! I grew up on Anita she continues to show why she is the G.O.A.T!
Anita has been ending all her concerts with the song Fairytales, there was no shade, Fantasia just didn’t know the words but she handled it very well, why do you all always try to find something negative, this was beautiful, Anita has nothing to prove she has been where Fantasia is trying to go, and was only showing love and support for her when she realized she didn’t know the words she said Fantasia just sing anything show your skills, that was admirable
My My My....This is the epitomy of class. May these young ladies that are singing R&B today. See this and aspire to perform in such a manner. That they don't have to share all their goodies. What a class act Fantasia you are now carrying the torch.
Tasia' can sing a recipe and make it sound good....I'll never forget Fantasia on American Idol . That was the year Fantasia and others made it the best of all other American Idols .......
I feel you Fantasia! I don't care who you are, if you get to sing with Anita Baker you are going to be very nervous and probably won't even remember your own name at the time let alone any lyrics.
That song IS Anita Baker. This song isn't meant for anyone but Miss Baker. No one's has ever touched it for a reason. It is a difficult song to capture and follow. I love the humbleness and true admiration Fantasia has for Auntie Anita. That's real love, for her to genuinely pass the torch. Loveeee, I am here for it !
I Love it! Anita told her own fans to " Take Care of Fantasia" the "Next Soul Songstress" Generation! That's how we pass the Baton Folks! No Hating. Just The "Sisterhood." 👩🦱 🎙 👩🦱 🎤 🎶🎵💞
Anita was like "sing baby, sing with me" . . . Fantasia was holding back outta respect cause we all know that guh can blow that roof off if she wanted to lollll
Cory Ballad As a professional, and admirer of Anita Baker's, Fantasia never should have been placed in such an awkward situation. Anita showed her true insecure colors here. I see her differently now. Fantasia deserves a DO OVER! Jennifer Lewis never would have done the young sister this way.
I kinda feel like if u constantly make public statements about an artist being a favorite that you want to sing with, your catalog of their songs should know the popular 1s at least. I don't think Anita played her because she's from that era that goes hard when another good singer's onstage to push the maximum performance out of them. Singers like Patti, Yolanda & others aren't threatened by big voices... they encourage it to give fans unforgettable shows...in my opinion
ray davis How can you push the maximum performance out of someone , when they only know the minimum lyrics? It isn't possible. At the end of the day, I am certain Fantasia was embarrassed. While she may have improvised, she also said Anita put her on the spot. It was not supposed to be a challenge. But anyway. Also, because those of us who disagree with Anita's antics, it doesn't mean we want to sing with her. Nonetheless, I would definitely not have been the least bit embarrassed. I do know the lyrics. Unlike Fantasia, this song was during my era and is a favorite of mine. Because I don't agree with Anita, it doesn't mean inLove her any less. I just know Reba McEntire nor Dolly Pardon would not have done this to Taylor Swift. Do you feel me?
Keep The Change Keep The Change Here's the thing..if Tasia had known the words...we know she would've completely smashed this performance. That's not Anita's fault..and those other singers you named arent notoriously known to pull singers out the audience.. Anita is. And for the record Anita showed her the monitor with the words and Tasia refused to read them.. I saw this and wondered if it was low key an issue for her to read words fast on a monitor..not being funny at all but its a real possibility. However I don't expect an artist to dumb down their performance for another artist to catch up at their own song. And those words she spoke at the end trumps all. We debate if there's underlying shade and overlook the overlaying love

I can tell Fantasia was honored to be on stage with her but was scared of messing up since it was her first time meeting Anita. Anita is a legendary songstress who flows whenever she sings.

This is the comment I was looking for...so true!
@Educatorpoet .... P.O.W.E.R.F.U.L. !!!!!!!!!!!! WELL SAID !!
So well said and I completely agree!
Say that!!!
Perfectly said!!!!
Anita has offically passed the torch....much respect....r and b is not dead
Joyce cates I agree. Something needs to wake these r n b singer UP! The world needs this type of 🎶
Love it lil willie
Yeah! Anita Baker is class, Class just passed the mantle, to who can really sing. Fantasia is a home grown power house. Luv luv💖👏
She passed the torch and blessed her. So Awesome
i guess but fantasia just hollers to me. she isn't trained. anita and the old school women, were actually trained by professionals in the train who had degrees in music. but i will take fantasia over these young white girls with no voices, claiming they're doing r&b.
I loved the respect Fantasia showed Anita Baker! And, I loved the fact that Anita Baker passed the touch to Fantasia by saying R&B music is in good hands. Yes, with Fantasia, it is. BRAVO!!
When a legendary elder gives you her approval, you must be something special. Go Tasia!
Anita Baker is still classy and confident in her musical talents to honor other artist although it is her show... pure classiness. We love her signature black attire and short hair cut. I hope to see her in concert, soon.
elcee Anita didn't have her hair done with that messy pony tail..she should have her hair done for a concert..naw.
This is part of her farewell tour.
Nothing classy about to is stunt. It shows her insecurity & cattiness. She did Fantasia dirty, rehearsing her with Sweet Love, then upstaging her with this novel that even Anita dtsnt know all the words to. She's dirty.

You can see Fantasia admiration for Anita Baker love a legend😍
Whether she did not know the lyrics or not... she had a blessing to be on stage with Nita. I'm sure anyone would...She stood her ground💖💖💖
Anita sounded soooo damn goood.....she still got it !!!!!!!!
Pamela Taylor Yes she does!
Anita asked you to carry on plus asked her audience to support you on your journey Fantasia. So appreciate the love from a veteran singer who admires your talent as well. Surely you were shocked she asked you to sing with her but Anita gave you props girl!
One Black women celebrating a younger Black women who shows lots of RESPECT
I love when Anita baker said to take care of this one meaning fantasia.
Fantasia = body goals......she looks so good! Go Tasia!
She started working out months ago. She looks great!
Loyalty 77 You must don't follow her on social media. Fantasia stays in the gym.
Loyalty 77 not true. She practically lives in the gym, she has plenty of videos on her Instagram. That body is the result of consistent workouting since 2012 and eating healthy. Her trainers are really good too!
Yes Lawd with the church derriere.
L. Ligon you better say that!
When she said “Next generation, take care of this one.” I felt that!!😭✊🏾🙏🏾😩🙌🏾
Just Air Fantasia needs to first take care of herself...sing tht Gospel & dress accordingly..decently!
JNT-EIR SHALOM7 So what compelled you to write that? Stop being negative especially when you’re hiding behind a profile with no pic!
Absolutely!! We have to take care of each other because WE literally are all WE have!! 💛🐩💙
She showed restraint out of respect and homage even when Ms. Anita begged for it. I love them both...❤
NEXT GENERATION...WOW!!!! TO BE LOVED BY THE GREAT ANITA BAKER HAS TO BE THE MOST WONDERFUL FEELING😍🙌💕
I love that Fantasia did not try to do fake lyrics. She held her own.
Never heard of that song either, nice song though
Fantasia is stallioned out! Her legs are godly!
yesssss
Baybeeeee is STACKED now !! #PraiseGod lmao
Black Messiah lol I was just saying almost the same thing. I said after lookin at her gorgeous Brown legs, that her body was like a strong beautiful, race horse
Black Messiah yes gawd
Her Lips
Even though Fantasia didn't know the lyrics, she is still a great singer. I love the fact that Anita invited her on stage with her and she was ad libbing like it ain't no tomorrow! Anita baker is classy and her voice is jazzy and her songs are just timeless!
TIMELESS INDEED!! 👑
I'm libbing myself
When you are great but in the midst of greatness...you get nervous...Anita passing the bato...to .Fantasia...love their humility...on stage together.
Anita Baker you are a wonderful person, you are simply someone who knows how to bring people forward. Fantasia needs you to continue to speak life into her heart and Spirit. This woman has a supreme gift and you are able to see it and cultivate it. Thank you. Blessings!!!
Fantasia was respectful and restrained, she didn't make an attempt to try to outstage a great singer like Anita.
Metallicgld12 She couldnt...that's why Anita chose tht song
Metallicgld12 .... Restraint my Ass!, that’s a lie!, if Fantasia knew that song, she would have blown the roof off that place....Homegurl can SANG!...Fannie be in a zone when she sings LOL! .... it’s a religious experience, she don’t play! 😂 I’ve seen this girl Live twice!

Sassy Diva You took my thoughts😂🤣😂🤣Yep Fantasia just didn’t know the words,but lord if she knew those words....That’s all I’m gonna say
Fantasia didn’t know the words, but only a true fan would. That song has a lot of words and it wasn’t a radio hit.
Love them both. Fantasia didn't know the song but it was still great to see these two goddesses share the stage.
next generation ... take care of this one!! I loved that 💜💜💜
Raquel Rene' We will, she's a mini ReRe. These are our Singing Warrior Queens......🇱🇷stl

I have never seen Fantasia nervous to sing and she sung with Legends....but Auntie Anita is walking talking music real music from the Soul- I love the fact that Anita baker crowned her and it was rightfully so ..... Two of my favorites 💕💪
Love this. You know the old school R&B artist don't really care for most of the new singers. But Fantasia got it.
I really wish Tasia knew the song!!! That would've been a FIRE collab!!
RyTy Jay_ I think fantasia was too young to know that song. It was before her time…
I also wish she knew the song. Fantasia would have ripped it!
DeSHAWN Bethel Fantasia is a gigantic fan of Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin who are also before her time.. and I'm only 24 years old and I know this song lol so I think its just that she hasn't listened to this particular song.

Go Ladies!!!! Yesssssss 🥰 Luv how Fantasia showed respect and loyalty to the Queen ❣❣❣❣❤
Fantasia looks absolutely AMAZING
I've listened to this song 1000x and still don't know the words. It's okay Fantasia.

There's nothing for Fantasia to be embarrassed about that girl still did her thing and she sounded good
Pure Perfection🎤🎤. I love how Anita Baker loves on Fantasia. They sound amazing 2gether.
Love Anita Baker and Fantasia I still have Anita Baker cds and I remember I had her on tape when I had a Walkman back in the day. I’m 54 ain’t nothing like old school music. And Fantasia brings life to everything she sings and she looks great
How much better would this have been if she would have pick a sing she knows. But I love them both. Anita is Legend and Fantasia is looking good.
Jo Coffee but what Anita fan doesnt know Fairytales?!?!? 🤣

Well, I believe Nita choose this song because it was the title of "T"s movie
🤭I've never seen Fantasia seem so awkwardly nervous !
She's sharing a stage with greatness so I understand.😁

Fantasia is super humble! I love it!
I love it!!!! 💝 Fantasia didn't know the words to that one! They still cut up!!! 💃Anita Baker should have sang that one where she clicks her heels like Dorothy. It reminds you of that Temptations step also. Lol. This lady is an absolute legend hands down. Fantasia is leaving her mark as well!
Ms.Anita Baker is and always will be vocal supporter on variables attitude levels. Humble spirit, love you Ms.Anita Baker and your music!
Absolutely awesome!!!!!! A regal queen blessing and passing the torch to a young diva. You can see and feel the love.
Fantasia was so humbled. This is how you treat your elders.

Anita has been ending all her concerts with the song Fairytales, there was no shade, Fantasia just didn’t know the words but she handled it very well, why do you all always try to find something negative, this was beautiful, Anita has nothing to prove she has been where Fantasia is trying to go, and was only showing love and support for her when she realized she didn’t know the words she said Fantasia just sing anything show your skills, that was admirable
Heartwarming when talent gets together
My My My....This is the epitomy of class. May these young ladies that are singing R&B today. See this and aspire to perform in such a manner. That they don't have to share all their goodies. What a class act Fantasia you are now carrying the torch.
Get it y'all! Beautiful! Pass that torch proper Lady Anita Baker!
Tasia' can sing a recipe and make it sound good....I'll never forget Fantasia on American Idol . That was the year Fantasia and others made it the best of all other American Idols .......

Gotta give Fantasia some major body props. She looks amazing there❤❤❤
Older singer love Fantasia, because they know she has pure talent, its real
That song IS Anita Baker. This song isn't meant for anyone but Miss Baker. No one's has ever touched it for a reason. It is a difficult song to capture and follow. I love the humbleness and true admiration Fantasia has for Auntie Anita. That's real love, for her to genuinely pass the torch. Loveeee, I am here for it !
Who cares if she didn't all the words it was great they were able to sing together!
Anita still got it!!! Beautiful duo!

Thank you so much for sharing this video....these are my two favorite artist....I would have love to be there!!!!
Nita still has it...Go Guuurrrlll Legend
Wow Anita still has it.fantasia you look damn good girl.
Haha! Tasia didn't even know the words but fell right in there with that church ad lib! Yaas! Real talent!
Fantasia improvised well in a tough situation.
Cory Ballad As a professional, and admirer of Anita Baker's, Fantasia never should have been placed in such an awkward situation. Anita showed her true insecure colors here. I see her differently now.
Fantasia deserves a DO OVER! Jennifer Lewis never would have done the young sister this way.
