Anita Baker

If you don't catch Ms.Anita Baker your one helluva show.The Songstress is giving you the best that she's got.

Anita Baker is one of a kind, she gave us the best she had. The venue was nice!

Anita Baker still has her beautiful silky voice! She entertains with style and grace!! I will try to catch her concert in another city! The only problem was, she can t sing all of her songs.

First off let me start by saying Anita Baker still looked good. Sang like an angel Sang directly to me and my lady

ON A RAINY NIGHT , THE HOUSE WAS PACKED. AS THE WINE FLOWED AND THE BASKETS UNFOLDED, THERE SHE WAS...MS. SENSUAL SOUL. ANITA BAKER. THE FIERY SIRENE MADE THE AUDIENCE UNDER THE RAIN, FORGET ABOUT BEING WET;SUMMONED THE GOD OF RAIN, AND WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO CLEAR SKIES TO MAKE A MEMORABLE NIGHT FOR THE TRUE LOVER OF LOVE. YOU HAD TO BE THERRE TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN. JUST IMAGINE....

I really enjoyed the show Anita really sounds better now to me than she did when i first heard her a young adult. She really put on a good show! thanks Anita

She put on such a great show, ill be there for the next show she does here in atlanta. It poured down raining and I was soaked but I didn't care haha.

This was a great concert! The perfect venue for a legendary artist like Anita! She is a true performer. I would love to see her here again! Had it not rained I would have given the evening/concert five stars. She performed two straight hours! It was awesome.

HER SHOWS ARE BECOMING DATED. NEED FRESHENING UP. I LOVE ANITA AND HER MUSIC BUT SHE NEED SOME NEW MATERIAL. AND HER STAGE PRESENCE IS NOT QITE LIKE THE OLD DYNAMIC ANITA. THE WEATHER MAYBE THE CAUSE OF SOME OF THIS. IT IS HARD TO BE AT YOUR BEST WHEN IT IS POURING DOWN RAINING.

don't know for a fact, but she must know music theory. no one is that intuitive with vocal variations. top-drawer singing with genuine down-to-earth presentation. a beautiful show from a beautiful person. would love to see her again. absolutely no bad seats at Chastain Park.

I really enjoyed being at Chastain Park....It rained and when I say rained I mean the bottom fell out...Don't get me wrong i like Anita, but she was tired after the 3rd song....??? She was ready to end the concert at 9 30...For what me and I am sure other paid to see her, she could performed a little longer. We would not have minded a intermission. I will buy whatever she put out, but I will NEVER go see her in concert again. I guess she was saving herself for the essence awards. I really feel we got cheated.

I have absolutely nothing but praise for the talents of Ms. Anita Baker, she has been and will remain one of my favorite performers. Her talent is immeasurable and she is extremely sexy and appealing. That being said the experience however was less than pleasurable because of the incessant rain. After spending nearly $200 on a pair of tickets I didn't expect an evening of Monsoons. After getting totally drenched and ruining my new outfit it was difficult to enjoy the show even after the rain subsided. However I will always love Anita Baker and she remains totally blameless.

Was good overall. Started very late due to weather. Sound quality not great.

Anita's performance was great!! However, it did rain that night, so i assume that is why her show was rather short. but then again it did not start on time. (at the time it was posted to start it was not raining, but i think there was some technical difficulties with sound equipment and lights.) But even with all of the elements of nature, my friends and I had a wonderful time!!! Chastain Park has the most beautiful ambience!! I only wish that her performance could have been longer. I did not hear some of my favorite songs. Also, before the show, Anita's songs were being played overhead in the park. I thought that was weird, since we would be listening to her "live" in just a few minutes. I think the crowd would have liked to hear Michael Jackson's music. (or anybody else's for that matter.)!

ANITA IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT I WOULD STAND IN POURING RAIN TO WAIT TO SEE PERFORM. LOVED IT!!! SHE LEFT US WANTING MORE

She started late and with the Chastain curfew, that means a shorter than necessary concert. The rain was not her fault, but if she had started closer to time we would have had more concert before the downpour. There was no opening act so we heard every Anita Baker song at least once so that by the time she came on it was almost anticlimactic. Overall, I would have to say that I have attended many MUCH BETTER concerts. (And by the way, Anita, 51 is not that old)

I love Anita, it seems she was making excuses that, I guess because she doesnt tour much

It rained "cats" and "dog" making it a bit difficult to hear the singing over the rain. Also, since Chastain does not have covered seating, everyone crowded in one area until the rain stopped--it was hot and muggy. I thought Anita Baker was ok. She still has a good voice but I just can't believe a singer who has not developed any new hits should command such high ticket prices (i.e., $70 plus)--not exactly the same caliber as Michael Jackson. All in all, it was ok. I liked the girl in my younger days but now that I am older she nearly puts me to sleep and the crowded venue didn't bring much solace.

The Anita Baker concert was great. The only set back was the cold rain shower that took place. After getting over that, it was quite enjoyable. The sound was clean and sharp. It proved to be a great outing for the wife & I. I was impressed with Anita's still powerful vocal ability.

Despite the rain, she put on an excdellent show. She performed almost all of her hits. She was enthusiastic and kept the crowd alive. I had waited years to see her and was not disappointed.

Anita Baker was fantastic. Her voice was crystal clear and as sassy and sultry as I always remembered. She was stunning and her vocal style was reminiscent of a small blues club. The Chastain Ampitheatre was transformed into a small intimate jazz like club. Through the storms, terrential rain and loss of every technical capability aside from the sound she drew us in like friends sipping coffee at a kitchen table. I was mesmerized and transported back to a time in my basement listening to my component set. " I apologize swept me away."

I really enjoyed the concert. It helped that it was at Chastain--the perfect venue for Anita Baker. I didn't like that it started over half an hour late and we were sitting in the rain, but besides that, it was a great concert. Anita Baker sounded great, band sounded great, and she sang all the favorites. Will definitely go again if she comes.

2 WORDS: SIMPLY AMAZING! ANITA IS AN ARTIST THAT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER LIVE THAN ON RECORDING.

The opening act Laura Izibur was fantastic! She's a lovely young energetic singer from Dublin, Ireland with a positive spririt and message. There was a very long break befroe Anita Baker performed, that's why I gave the show 4 and not 5 stars. Anita Baker still has it!

Anita came out on stage with her band and ripped it up! She sang all the fav's and it was such a joy to see her really enjoying her own music. The band was great. She didn't have the glitz and wardrobe changes as artists think they need to have nowadays. She was just Anita! She opened for Maxwell but I could've left right after her and been totally satisfied.

She still got it. Her energy was contagious. She sang the songs that I wanted to hear and also took some advice from the fans. I think her performance was exactly 1.5 hrs. The audience was in unison with Anita as she sang. There were people dancing and swaying to her love songs. There were hands in the air that waved to the beat. There were kissing and carrassing in the aisle. And this was not due to the aaaa achohol. She was one with the audience and whether or not she was acting she generally acted like she wanted to give the audience the "best that she got". I will definitely continue to see her. The audience was a mixer of all ages. One drawback the concert didn't start on time. Each time a promoter would come out and say one more minute. But the minutes turned into almost an hour. My tickets stated 6:00pm but Anita came on around 8:25pm. Some people in the audience were told that she was due to appear at 7:00 others said 7:30 and 8:00pm. You could tell that the audience was getting alittle agitated. But all-in-all the event was spectacular.

fine wine ages. art work grows more beautiful during the decades. Ms BAKER still has it. For all times.

ANITA BAKER IS THE ICON FOR CLASSY SOULRTY PERFECTION. SHE WILL CAUSE YOU TO REMINISE ON PAST LOVES, FALL IN LOVE AGAIN WITH PRESENT LOVE, AND REMAIN HOPEFUL FOR THE LOVE THAT'S ON IT'S WAY. THERE IS NO ONE IN THE WORLD ... CAN SING IT LIKE ANITA BAKER. THERE ARE TRULY NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HER GOD GIVEN TALENTS. HER VOICE IS NOT POWERFUL AND ANGELIC THAT I HAD TO STOP THINKING ABOUT MY MAN AND THANK GOD FOR ALL OF MY BLESSINGS (WHICH OF COURSE INCLUDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH AND HEAR HER SING UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL).

Overall the concert was just mediocre for the $80 dollars tickets purchased. Anita Baker was extremely late and didn't perform until 1 1/2 after the starting time. Her band was off key at moments and she would request that they start over.

Anita Baker's concert was amazing. Enjoyed hearing and singing along with all her songs. Her voice is like a finely tuned instrument that has gotten better with age. This concert did not disappoint and was well worth the money.

This was the best concert I've been to in my lifetime. I've attended many concerts in the past which were nice. Mrs.Baker is in a class all by herself. She is EPIC. IMy heart was filled with so much joy as I listened to the sweet melodies exit from her voice. I wish this was not a farewell tour. Mrs. Baker is a Legendary and her must will always be apart of my life. We love you dearly Anita Baker.

This concert was a MUST for me. I m 40 years old and grew up to her music and it did my soul well to see her LIVE in her element. She sang her face off. Every note was in key, the live band are 2nd to none and the back up singers were first rate. The show was amazing and money well spent and money I d spend again.

Anita was OUTSTANDING & UNFORGETTABLE!! I wish she could have stayed on stage all night long. If I get the opportunity I will see her again.

I had never seen Anita Baker before, but when I tell you she was simply amazing! It was a dream come true! If you haven t seen her it s definitely a must see!!

Anita hasn't lost ANY OUNCE of her ability to sing and perform! She completely embodies every note and every word she sings! I've literally been talking about this show every day since I saw her! She is a true legend and I'm SO GLAD I got to see her live! Hands down, THE BEST concert I've been to!

Anita hasn't lost ANY OUNCE of her ability to sing and perform! She completely embodies every note and every word she sings! I've literally been talking about this show every day since I saw her! She is a true legend and I'm SO GLAD I got to see her live! Hands down, THE BEST concert I've been to!

Anita Baker put on a phenominal show and it was a night to remember.

This concert was simply awesome. Anita s voice still sounds great and may sound better than she did many years ago. She still has a wonderful stage presence and engages her audience. I REALLY DID NOT WANT IT TO END.

Her voice is still as strong as ever. She still sounds like she did when I first seen her perform over 20 years ago.

I was blown away by her voice! She commanded that stage. She SANG all off her hits. She sounds just like her album, no gimmicks or tricks...just live music at its best. Authentic and fearless. This was my first time seeing her in person and she did not disappoint.

Beyond impressed. Beyond stunned. Beyond amazed. Rumor has it that she is a perfectionist. Well, it pays off. Her show was, by far, one of THE BEST concerts I have ever attended. The music was spot on. Her band and backup singers were completely in sync. Not a missed note, beat or opportunity. So glad I finally got to see her. And if she is anywhere within a day's drive, I will make every effort to see her again.

She was very professional and her voice sound magnificent. Truly a great concert and she will be missed.

Anita Baker was excellent. She still has that remarkable voice. If you have an opportunity to see her at one of the other farewell tour dates, please go, because you will not regret it.

Awesome! Anita B gave the best that she got and her performance was unforgettable!

It was an amazing show, loved every minute of it!!!

Anita Baker's performance was great and her voice is still amazing after all these years. I wish she would have done a few more songs but I would go see her again.

We had a great time. Ms. Baker was as graceful, elegant and powerful as ever. Her stage presents was amazing....this is why I love live music. I m honored to have been apart of it.

Anita loved the energy of QC ! She gave us her all despite being tired as heck. Black don t crack and her performance was nothing short of amazing !!

The show was AWESOME and so was the venue. Anita's voice hasn't changed. I drove five hours to see her and it was worth it!

Anita Baker and her band was simply amazaing. The venue and ambiance was intimate and i enjoyed from start to finish

Ms. Baker gave a GREAT show! Want to see her again.

Anita was amazing! She sounded just like she does on her CD. The live band made it that much better.

Ms. Baker is as AWESOME now as she was years ago. I was in awe of her stage presence and that VOICE. I am so glad I was able to experience a live show with her. Her energy transformed the event into something out of this world. Thank you Ms. Baker for giving us the best that you got!!!!

I love Anita Baker she still has that voice..I can see this show again

Her performance was so on point. I feel so full from it

Anita put on a great show. The performance, the atmosphere and the venue were great and we had an awesome time. Money well spent to hear a legend do her thing.

The Anita Baker song book is amazing. She performed exceptionally well as did every member of her band and vocal backup. The show was sold out and the crowd loved her. However, the volume of the audio was way to loud.

..... however, the sound system throughout the show was horrible! There were times that we could not clearly hear the artist do too the volume being so loud. And there were times when she was singing and there was horrible feedback!

Anita's fans LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. She sounds as good as ever.

What an amazing show! After all these years she still gives an incredible performance!

What a show!! Ms. Baker is so down to earth. I loved how she interacted with her audience. And even though the sound techs couldn t get it right, she was really very, very polite informing them. I don t know of many musical artists that would have been so polite. You go Ms. Baker, A classy lady with an Awesome Voice and an Unforgettable Concert!!!!

I went to this show with my mother cause we are big Anita fans! Anita's voice was great and she sang all the great songs we love by her. The band was great & the back up singers too. Anita even sang Lady Marmalade and had Fantasia come on stage to sing with her. Watching Anita joke, dance, interact with the crowd and hit those high notes, made this show a very beautiful experience.

The concert was AMAZING! She sounds just like her albums, she still HAS it!!

Very great show. No souvenirs were for sale after the show......

Anita Baker never has and never will give a bad performance. Class act from beginning to end 365 days of the year. I could watch her over and over again.

Anita Baker was absolutely amazing. She performed for about 2 hours, she sounded like she hasn't aged a bit. She stayed engaged with the crowd and kept us wanting more.

She looks and sounds very good. I was so excited to see her and she did not let me down, U go gurl. We love U Anita. I would have loved to here her sing Ur the Best Thing Yet, maybe next time.

This concert was amazing. Anita knows how to treat a crowd. I absolutely love her stage presence. The atmosphere was amazing, especially being able to bring your own food and drinks. Very sexy and romantic evening!! #LOVE

Anita Baker is a true entertainer. I like the interaction with the crowd and the way she took song request from certain fans. She was great!

I am a huge Anita Baker fan. I have been listening to her music since I was a kid. Now as a 33 year old woman, that has been through some things, her music resonates with me even more. Her voice was flawless and smooth. She took song requests from the audience, which performers never do. SOmetimes you leave a show wishing they had sung YOUR favorite song. It was a refreshing change of pace. I would absolutely go see her again. It was a great show. She hasn't aged a bit. She looked like she enjoyed being there, which made it even more special. Great perfromer.

Because she is my all time favorite, I am partial to her anyway. But I thought her voice was very strong just like it was 20yrs ago. The songs were fabulous, she looked stunning and the show was great. I was in the zone all night and now I do not have a voice. If there was another show the next day i would be right there. Thats how much I enjoyed Anita. Sorry she didn't sing ANGEL- my favorite. Gerald Albright looked and still sounded great too.

Anita was incredible. I miss her already.... She looks more and more incredidle every time I see her. Every song she sings is a mountain of energy and passion. She had a great band and backup singers... Anita likes to free style and the band never missed a beat... I really enjoyed the venue at the Ceaser's in AC. The seats were comfortable and the floors were clean... I've experienced worse in Atlantic City... Not that it stopped me from seeing Anita... Can't wait to see her again....

This concert was well worth the eleven hour greyhound bus ride from St. Louis to Detroit. As always Anita came out a little late but when you listen to enough interviews and hear her explanation you don't sweat it. She was gorgous, witty and energetic as usual.

From the moment she gracefully took control of the stage to her final, "see ya next year" Anita Baker was simply still amazing. Her wit and charm mezmorized the audience from start to finish. Her vocals seem to mature and become better each year as her audiences seem to grow with new fans from a younger and younger era. A sea of lights filled the area as Ms Baker ran from one end of the stage to the other refusing to be denied the love she clamored. "I see the lights" she sang sounding like a wonderful child. "give me the lights" she sang. She called the lights "love" from the audience and we gave her just what she wanted over and over and over again. As the show began to wind down she asked the familiar question, "What do ya want me to sing?" The shouts rang out this song and that song. Finally a gentleman from the audience clearly caught up in the rapture of this artist screamed, "What ever you want" She tossed a sultry smile in his direction and pleasantly obliged. And sing she certainly did. Saying her good nights she exited the stage with the fans on their feet demanding, "Give us more! Give us more!" She returned and gave her fans just what they wanted...More and then more. Soon it was over, for real and she was gone. She didn't neglect us neither were we denied the pleasure of her lyrical kisses or the pleasure of her sultry stylings. As the people began to leave the area I said within my self. "This is the best concert I have ever been to" But then again, don't I say that every year? -wink- Good night Ms Baker ....where ever you are......see ya next year.

I love her interaction with the crowd. She blew kisses back at me. And, she sings her instructions to the band & crew, So Cute! The tickets say 8pm, I just wish it started closer to that time so we'd have more time to here more favorites. And, she should have a chair to rest for a second or two... And, I hope a DVD is coming soon.

she was great, i really enjoyed myself . I look forward to seeing her again soon.

I have been trying to see Anita Baker in concert for years. She was all I expected her to be and much more. Ms. Baker's performance was absolutely spectacular. She performance live just as well as she does in studio (which is very rare these days). I only wish she had more time. I felt she wanted to stay on stage just much as the crowd hated to see her leave the stage. I hope she will honor Orange county with another performance very soon.

AB was in rare form!!! This was my third time seeing her and she did not disappoint!!! But the Pacific Amphitheatre was another story--from the "lack of visible signs saying 'Pacific Amphitheatre' or 'Anita Baker Tonight'" to the "5th grade auditorium seating" to the "lack of the use of a Jumbotron" or the "2 mile forced march from my parking spot", let's say--it wasn't "My Everything".

3rd time round and Anita still delivers a powerful and magical performance. Her dazzle doesn't fade any! (even with the downpour we endured)

Of all the concerts where I have seen Anita Baker perform, this was THE BEST ONE! I never heard her sing like this . . . with such a vocal range, clear lyrics, and power. But, most of all, she showed so much grace and humility. I was done after her opening number! OMG! We could have listened to her sing for another hour. If this is her farewell performance, she was "giving 'us' the best that 'she' got"!

We all had the best time during her concert! She started about 30 minutes late but that was just fine because the traffic to get in was packed. We didn't miss a thing. She came on stage jammin' to Lady Marmelade and rocked it! I sat directly behind Fantasia and her hubby (another great treat!). The icing on the cake is when she brought Fantasia onstage and they both jammed. Love both singers!!

I grew to love her all because my mom loved her. From stealing my mothers cassette tapes of her albums to buying the CD's as an adult. She was on my list of people to see. I saw her in New Orleans and she was breath taking! Her voice was just like brand new. I am thinking about going to see her in another city Just Because. If you want your monies worth for a legend, I say go see Anita Baker!

I've been dying to see Anita & tried to get tickets at earlier dates. I was finally able to secure tickets for Ravinia in Illinois & she was phenomenal. If you are lucky enough to get tickets its definitely worth the money. I drove from Cleveland to Chicago to see her.

Anita Baker was excellent. Although she was late, she was worth the wait. Her voice is still magnificent. Thank you for including Charlotte on the farewell tour.

Anita Baker was amazing as usual. 4th time seeing her in concert and she never disappoints. I just love her!

The concert was very enjoyable. Anita still has the voice.

Ms Baker was amazing! Her voice and stage presence was none less than perfect. Her energy was giving me all that she s got!!!!!

Concert was well worth the drive and next day off work. She gave us more than our money worth

Ms. Baker was down to earth and fun! Loved every minute of it!

We left before it ended. We didn't pay 125.00 per ticket for the audience to serenade Anita. Karaoke 2.0. I knew it was going to be a bad night when Anita stepped on stage with a ponytail in her hair. Worst show I have seen in my lifetime. For those giving her 5 stars, they either had to be drinking or they have never seen what a good show looks like. Sad...... Yes, I have seen Anita perform in the past. Ths didn't even compare.

WE (ATLANTA) LOVED ON HER, ANITA DIRECTED THE AUDIENCE WHILE WE SUNG TO HER. ...PPL DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE, I WAS SITTING IN THE BACK WITH MY BINOCULARS - HOPING NO ONE ASKED TO SEE THEM- I DIDNT WANT TO MISS A BEAT, SKIP, FACIAL EXPRESSION ETC.... LOVE HER ( WHEN SHE ASKED, WHAT WOULD WE LIKE TO HEAR - I'M SCREAMING IN THE BACK " FEEL THE NEED IN ME". I DIDNT GET MY WISH BUT I WAS STILL HAPPY!!!!

I never been to a concert when the audience serenaded the artist making the artist start the song over and finally she asked what we wanted her to sing. It was a awesome experience. Of course it was too short but I would not have missed Atlanta on a Friday night.

She has not lost it. Voice was so amazing. I loved every minute.

Anita Baker gave an excellent concert last night! Her voice is impeccable and she still sound the same from the 80s and 90s. If you get a chance to experience her farewell tour, do so! You won t regret it. It was my best concert ever!

PLEASE GO SEE ANITA! Her voice is straight from Heaven

I see some folks commenting about her singing 5 songs or so.......NOT! it was more like 10 then she exited the stage as MANY performers do to allow the crowd to go wild then came back & performed another 5 songs or so... I guess some people aren't used to classy/classic events but this is the normalcy when I see mature performers. To quote my friend "she sounds just like her original records 30 years ago......ANITA STILL HAS IT.... and regarding the sound checks they're correct she kept having them adjust it but to me that was partly because of the audience trying to sing over her, she wanted FANS to hear HER... even during that time she was classy & sang the instructions to them, made it much more personal to me........She IS a MUST SEE! I left jax & headed to Miami for another great performance byt her & will see her again several times before this year ends.

Anita Baker still has her vocals. This was a sold out show. However, her stage presence wasn't on point at this performance. She talked a lot. Sound and lighting crew messed up her set. She complained the smoke was harming her vocals. She sung maybe 5 or 6 songs then ended her show. I guess the promoter asked her for a few more songs. She returned to the stage and sung about 2 or 3 more songs. I will always be a fan, but Anita's performance needs some polishing.

Amazing is an understatement! Anita Baker still has it!!!

Really enjoyed the show and it was at a great venue. Easy parking across the street ... friendly people to help with food, beverages and seating ... We had a great time!

The Anita Baker concert was amazing! Although she had a couple of technical difficulties with the guys backstage, she sung the directions to them so beautifully. She sung every hit song, and she even sung Body and Soul acapella. I know this was her "farewell tour" but I hope that she does one more go round!
