By I Love You Anita Baker
Call Me On Stage
I have always dreamed of singing Lead Me To Love w/ Ms Baker at one of her concerts. I went to her Vegas concert in 22 And her LA 2023 concert and she was the BOMB….. all that I thought and more.

Absolutely outstanding stellar performance! Anita bakers voice is still as velvety as it’s been over 20 years! Her band and background singers were effortlessly stellar. This was a 40th birthday present to myself and the memories will forever be cherished. Amazing show.

Anita Slays the Audience AGAIN
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
It has been over 10 years since I attended a concert with Anita Baker. She was absolutely energized, engaged with the audience and performed for us like we were family. She gave her best and left it all on the stage! She shared her heart, her life long passions, and her love for her craft! She even mentioned she will be back in Los Angeles next year and I can’t wait! Thank you Ms. Baker - nothin’ but love for you!

The worst show of 2023
This was the worst show I attended in 2023. I am a HUGE Anita Baker fan but this concert was simply awful. The sound was so bad that I left half way through the show. Ms. Baker, you can do better than this.

Anita Baker Is Loud!
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
Anita Baker's voice and range is still superb and the choreography of the concert was awesome. That being said, her concert was disappointing. She was over 30 minutes late in starting the concert; the music was painfully loud; Anita purposefully had bright lights shine at the audience, which made it painful to watch the concert (imagine driving with high beam lights in your face); and she too often interrupted her awesome singing with screams and shouts. Ugh!

Great Concert
American Airlines Center - Dallas
Anita put on a great show in Dallas. She still has it. I'm giving her 4 stars instead of 5 because she was an hour late coming to the stage. Overall, I had an awesome time on my 50th birthday.

BEYOND AMAZING
Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles
This is by far one of the best concerts I have ever attended. If I could give 10 Stars I would. Saw Anita Baker at the Crypto and the seats I had were center stage with a great view. Anita does not disappoint and gives an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PERFORMANCE. It was well worth every single penny. She sounds just as great as her recorded albums and song all of her classics. You will be dancing and singing the entire time. I will be definitely seeing aunty a few more times before she stops touring because I was more than pleased.
Bio
Anita Baker on Tour
Anita Baker has brought grace and class to every performance since her teenage days honing her three-octave vocal range at Detroit nightclubs. After gaining more experience on the stage with the Detroit funk band Chapter 8, she set off on a solo career in the early 1980s.
She hit it big with such romantic classics as "Sweet Love" and took the world by storm, starting with her first headlining stint, The Rapture Tour, in 1986. Over the next decade, Baker kept conquering the charts as well as stages around the world, until 1994-95's Rhythm of Love tour.
After a long hiatus, she came back strong in 2004 after signing to Blue Note Records, and she became a regular on the road once again. In January 2018, she announced her retirement, but not before saying goodbye with a bang with her hugely successful Farewell Concert Series tour.
Anita Baker Background
One of the great masters of quiet-storm slow jams, Anita Baker has long been a dependable voice for soft sophistication and everlasting romance. Born in 1958 in Toledo, Ohio, but raised in Detroit, Baker found her passion at a young age, performing in gospel choirs, then singing at local clubs and performing in various bands, including funk band Chapter 8.
It took some time — and persuasion from Beverly Glen Records label head Otis Smith — before she pursued a solo career. She recorded her debut album, The Songstress, in 1983. Three years later, she hit her stride with her sophomore album, Rapture. The release garnered a number of hits, including Grammy-winning songs "Caught Up in the Rapture" and "Sweet Love."
The following year, she earned one more Grammy, this time on track "Ain't Got No Need to Worry," a collaboration with brother quartet The Winans. The hits kept coming with Baker's 1988 album, Giving You the Best That I Got, which landed on the top of the Billboard charts and earned her more Grammys for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song.
Baker would continue to dominate R&B into the next decade, starting with 1990's Compositions, followed by Rhythm of Love in 1994. From that point on, Baker took a break to focus on family, and it wasn't until a decade later that she returned with her next album, 2004's My Everything and then a holiday release, Christmas Fantasy.
The next decade saw another Grammy nomination, this time for Best Traditional R&B Performance with 2012's Tyrese cover "Lately." In 2018, she was honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. That same year, Baker announced her retirement — but not before selling out shows around the country for her farewell tour.
