Exactly.... Anita needs to sit her SSA down
She mean honey, and let's her fame go to her head. She beat me up one time! Almost if I let her!
@@terrinash4615Quit with the fake anger and outrage
Exactly
Exactly. Boy bye!
I guess that the fans no longer “Bring Her Joy”. She isn’t going to “Apologize” and hasn’t done it since 94. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😩😩😭😭😂😂🤣🤣
I c y'all clowning the shish out of her 🤦🤣🤣🤣
😭
@@blessedone612 This is mild compared to what’s out there. 🤭😭😂🤣

Anita Baker did her thing. I flew in town to watch her perform, in the rain and cold all for 2hrs w struggle kitten heels! 👏🏽👑 Love Anita and she did not disappoint. She was playful yet honest. But that’s just my experience.
I appreciate your honesty…I luv (Detroit’s own Anita Baker) & am feeling bad regarding all of the backlash she’s receiving…I pray that whatever the dissatisfied fans are experiencing can be worked out in the near future…because all of the preparations it takes to get ready & see our favorite artists…we the fans truly don’t want to be disappointed…🎤🎹🪇🥁🎼🪘🎷🎺🎸🎻🪈
I was there. This story has been spun so many times. She told security to help them out they were lost trying to find their seats which were on the 2nd row. They laughed we all laughed. As far as the pictures it was press and it was flashing directly in her eyes. No one was removed from the center. 🤦🏿♀️
Thanks for the clarification
And this is why we need folks like you to tell the real. Social Media spin stories for the views.
Thank you! People love making her the problem without telling everything
Thank you. I flew in from out of state to see her and she did not disappoint. Anita Baker started late bc everyone ✋🏾was late due to a storm! But she performed for 2 straight hours in kitten 👠! Don’t believe everything you hear bc that’s hearsay.
That's my boo@@Chrys4u2
There are no cheap seats for any concert these days. Concerts can take its toll on artists but they should be required to be up for the task.
They were flashing camera lights and she told them to stop. What if she had epilepsy and is sensitive to flashing things?! They had to go!
She can stay home. Any concert has LIGHTS, duh.
@@DeeDiamond2981🤡
@@DeeDiamond2981 Exactly or just leave the first 5 rows in the front empty don't sell tickets for those . Or maybe make everyone leave there cameras and phones at the door idk what she was expecting.
@@DeeDiamond2981you can also turn lights down so no she shouldn’t stay home
@@jgibson8092for people to do as they were asked.
I worked security for her, the brief interaction I had with her was extremely pleasant, I only saw her interact with male security guards but it was “sir” when she addressed us. There was no bad attitude or rudeness to be seen even at 2am after the show when she was saying her goodbyes.
She's had a decades long reputation for being difficult. I saw her the next night in Dallas. She was an hour late but no rudeness on stage. Her p.r. team must've intervened.
And she did apologize for the late start and she did perform past 11pm
i was there in Dallas, i got there 45 minutes late so I was happy she was late too.
I luv Anita..
I do remember when i went to one of her concerts few years back. Everyone had there phones out. She said "you guys going to miss the moment with your phones."
She did say it in a loving way but i took it as she wasnt feeling the cameras/phones.
everyone is so quick to judge her and call her rude. she’s just being firm she clearly told people
not to record and they continued to record so they had to go period.
At the beginning of both shows I've been to she gives the option to record but ask that the flash be off bc it's distracting
I’m with Q on this. She wants to interact with peoples’ faces not camera phones. If the artist says put your phone away, put it away.
People record they don’t care anymore
Then she need to put a disclaimer. Folks have to lock up their phones during the Tony Toni Toné concert
@@mariej.richard5114and that’s the problem is entitlement and feelings. Bet they won’t do that on their jobs
She has no right to kick anyone out, I would have not left, I tell you one thing I would have filed a lawsuit against asap
.
That part it always the famous people in the wrong they are people too. When are the fans always right cause u paid you give you the right to do what u want ? Make this make sense
I luv Anita too. But she was late for 2 concerts that i paid for. So now i just luv her on youtube.
I've gone to a Lalah Hathaway concert and she asked the audience to do the same thing- do not record!! She simply stated she wanted the audience to see the performance and truly enjoy it. On her last song she stared the audience could now record. She just wanted them to truly enjoy the concert!!
Who is Lalah Hathaway?
They don't want you to record because it will be uploaded for everyone to see. Some people will watch and not buy a ticket hence they will lose money. She could careless about your experience and more about her pockets.
😂@@markjohnson-sl9qf
I don't go to concerts but seeing front rows full of phones up looks disrespectful.
Anita singin my songgg. I dont know WHOO U ARE...MOVE BAAAACK!!!!!!!💯
They were not giving her the best they got
Lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
She hasn’t been giving us the “Same Ole Love” for the 365 days of the year like she claimed I fear.🤭🤭😭😭😂😂
Hahaha 😭
Anita needs to get it together, like Claudia said. It gave drunk Auntie LOL I went to a Tone, Toni, Tony concert and they provided cellphone pouches that you use to lock up your phones during the performance. Best Concert I've been to!! Everyone was engaged and listening.
I went to their Vegas concert, OMG the best concert ever
How do you "lock up" your cell phone in a pouch?
Agreed. I went to the 3T concert in Philly. Best concert ever. The cell phone pouches were genius
Auntie Anita Baker don't play no games 😭😭😭
None at all
None 💯‼️
My friend was there and she said it was a good show but people didn’t want to move from front row after being asked numerous of times to move back. Anita say *Y’all not gonna knock her upside the head throwing stuff*
Just a thought; the issue with the social media era is humanity doesn't know how to enjoy moments and its beyond seeing concerts....ppl are trying to record everything they do and its narcissistic....the simple things in life ppl enjoy are memorable and that goes beyond a screen shot
Very good point!! 👏
As someone who gies to concerts. I agree totally. I get getting a a little bit to remember but I watch people be on live for a damn near a whole show and the camera barely turns towards the artist. It's just too much. Monica kicked someone out of a show we saw in D.C. because she was wilding. Lol. Monica said she's singing about love not knuck if you buck 😂😂😂had the girl escorted out then said buy her another dink on me.
Nope! The person wasn't a fan the person only came for a wrong motive, so Anita did right
That's why Bruno Mars has a "No Cell Phone" policy at many of his concerts. He wants you to come party with him not come to record him.
Prince was the same way
They need some privacy
I just love Claudia’s take on most subjects. 😂
I’m from Detroit where Anita is from. I met her 2005 in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, while working at Wendy’s. She was rude and constantly making promises about autographs she never produced until I checked her politely. I love her but she’s too much‼️
For real
@@oholm09 Most definitely 💯
She's from Toledo.
Stephanie Mills also tells people about recording and the flashes from cell phones. 😂
Aunty said I can bring them in....and I could put them out!!🙄👀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I seen Anita Baker in 2019 in Miami Gardens Florida and she was awesome amazing !! Anita sound better than her albums live no studio. She had just came back on tour. When I seen her in 2023 for Mothers Day Baltimore concert she was complaining about the mics and sound system. No problems when Babyface was on stage but as soon as Anita step foot on stage the mics went out!! And I agree people pay good money to hear her sing live and if the sound system is terrible you can’t enjoy the concert. So Anita the diva had every right to complain because she is a professional singer that wants to give you a good performance and your money worth of entertainment. I live Anita and if she has a bad attitude well than we all have bad days! 65 and still have a fantastic voice is a gift and a blessing.
This. ❤
Talked to Her . In passing , Downtown Detroit.
Very nice person to me.
If fan was wrong in what , they did... Speak up on that. Why don't you...
Still big fan....
Guys find someone who loves you the way Q loves auntie Anita! 😂
Regardless if the flash, she has people who love her voice and spend money to see her perform. There is never a reason to be rude no matter what era she comes from, it’s concert. There are a lot of legacies but never a reason when people are supporting you to be rude period.
She is rude and disrespectful.
No she's not.
True, she beat me up one time almost 😮
Patty Labelle would definitely. my mom told me a story of seeing Labelle and Patti kicked her shoe out into the crowd. Patti refused to sing until she got that show back. This was 1977
That's not rude she wants her shoe back
@@kimson305 Exactly TF 😂😂. I'm sure those shoes are expensive .I would do the same thing.
She’s no Angel🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼Oh…Angel!!
😉🤪
Oh 👼🏾😭‼️
TALENT AND PERSONALITY are 2 different gifts
We are not doing this tonight 🧡, I’m with Q
Yess, ahe worked on tbe same job as my mom and my mom stated , " she is something else sometimes!"
Anita Baker did not take a 20 year hiatus!! She had her retirement tour, and just a few years later, came back.
Anita Baker is really just MEAN ❗️⚫️
I'll just listen to her records.
It’s really no excuse. It’s performers older than her who DON’T have these problems! Not even taking into account that she’s been known as rude for DECADES!
Come on y'all let's not make this Anita Baker thing Y'all use y'all's common sense When you go to these concerts you already know they do not want you flashing cameras at them. Not only that it distracts them on the stage Y'all got to have some type of respect for these artists.
Look at how rude Anita Baker was to Babyface for no reason. People say she's nasty and bitter. It looks like that's true. Anita Baker is allegedly baked🧐😂.
😅😂😅😂❤
More to that situation than we will ever know. If it is revealed some people will have egg on their faces!
@@bjw3243Comment wasn't funny
@@rodericksutton7782 don't you dare tell me what isn't funny! I thought it was funny okay!
Stop it Funky! Patti is 79 and she don't act like that. Also, I don't buy that "she don't know anything about technology because of her age" crap. PLEASE! My aunt is 80 and she is on all social media platforms.🙄
Lol😂 Drunk Rude Auntie 😅
One thing Black Culture does need to keep in mind is integrity for our Legends...we are always talking about wellness awareness amongst our ppl but we dnt walk our talk when it come to keeping our platforms as integral examples for how we as a ppl should be honoring, uplifting and speaking life-giving words over eachother. Anita Baker is a Black Vocal Icon who's music will stand the test of time. It is very demanding to be famous for even a second, let alone decades. She deserves the comforts she requests, to be at her very best for us, for herself and for her vocal legacy.
Period
Say it louder for the people at the back !
Exactly.
I agree with this statement
Say so. ☝🏽
At the end of the day Anita is the talent if she asked you to do something so she can give you what you paid for then do it! Stop feeling down entitled and in your feelings like people owe you something! It could be a medical reason! If you did this on the job you’d be fired!!!
Depends on why Anita kicked them out and NOT what the Media GOSSIP ABOUT it being narrowed to. Patti LABELLE also has her oddities.
And y'all need to be reminded that Anita has had her share of personal and professional unkind interruptions.
Anita Baker Is not the only one who gets terriblly upset when they ask sudience to PLEASE TURN OFF THE CAMERAS. The flashing lights are distracting!!!!!!!!! Some of her songs are among my favorites such as the collaboration with Babyface, but I am not even a fan as such of Anita because I can't concentrate that deep even though it IS GOOD MUSIC QUALITY, BUT I do appreciate her for the ARTIST she proves to be.
The reason I agree so. strongly with Anita aboit light flashing and understand why the anmoyance is because I am effected by the bright lighting in mall settings.
The stage management needs to give the house manager guidance on if there can be any photos, recording during her shows. If she is still old school and gets distracted by the flash, PLEASE put that information out in advance before the show starts. I volunteer at performing arts theaters and the house manager lets us know what the rules are and it is posted in the lobby also. Now how is she talking to the audience when relating the info SOMETIMES IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY BUT THE DELIVERY. I saw Anita Baker in Atlanta at the Fox Theater and she was amazing.
Sorry funky Anita Baker this summer and it started raining and storming we was at the outside event I waited 2 hours I left because she didn't come out I thought that was rude I will never go see your girl again we went to an outside event outside of Detroit this is where she started at she didn't care sorry funky
Most artists don’t allow recording of their shows cell phones included 🤔 people just don’t go to concerts, plays, movies etc without dragging their phones how do you enjoy show😒seriously wait for the Blue-ray, DVD to come out.
If she asked them to stop recording regardless of how much you paid, acquiesce!!
I love Anita 😂❤ People know her personality, and be trying her on purpose. I think shes funny. It's cool when Beyonce or Mariah does it, but not the legend Anita Baker? Please.
When i used to live in Detroit, she lived there too in the upscale neighborhoods, i believe it was Indian village, but i cant remember. She had a reputation in the 80s and 90s for having a bad attitude around town.
So, no excuse
Disposable cameras had flashes , she used to cameras 😂😂🤣😂
I’ll take Miss Anita however she comes
I am with Q on this one!
Funky, I have gone to see Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and Gladys Knight in concert multiple times. All are from the same era as Baker. None of these legends have and would never behave as unprofessional as Anita Baker. Anita is just simply a mean person and thank God this is a farewell tour because she needs to be gone.
Funky Anita baker took a 20 year break because no one would sign her ghetto acting behind
😳
😱
🤭
I really don’t like seeing these stories about Anita Baker. I grew up listening to her music and I went to one of her concerts in the early 2000s in Chicago and it was a great experience. She took requests from the audience and if the band wasn’t prepared to play what was requested, she sung it acapella. It felt like a family reunion. I don’t know what she is going through now, but I hope she is ok and she gets it together.
Just saw her on Dec 23..She was 45 min late but gave us almost 3 hours of amazing loving entertainment. Engaging and she did mention to put away phones so we could be in the moment. We loved it!!!!
Anita Baker and Miranda Lambert stay fussin at their fans!🤣🤣🤣
It’s got to be something more to this story.. I went to her concert at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, the day before thanksgiving. I was literally a few rows from the front row. It was a lot of ppl recording and taking pics. I was one of them. She never told anyone don’t take pics or stop recording her. The concert was okay, she was 2 hours late. I expected her to sings most of her hit songs, she didn’t sing too many of any of her songs. So she say, “it was bc of audio issues.” It sounded fine to me, but I’m no audio expert.
CLAUDIA, NO ONE BROUGHT CAMERAS TO THE FRONT ROW BACK IN THE DAY. Okay Im out now with Claudia just sating something to be saying nothing.
The story about the kid and the picture was hilarious lol
Yes AL!!!!!! Lolol😂 Give me all my money back!!!!
Funky “She need her stuff to be right!” 😂 Funky With Anita is me with Mariah 😂
She needs to stop doing concerts, for real!
If she is so awful, then why do you continue to go to her concerts. Plus, who has time to chat online about a canceled concert. Just move forward.
Al is hilarious!!! I flew from london to Switzerland to see her..she gave a good performance but she was screaming at the poor sound engineer to stop forcing her to sing so hard! She could have handled this situation very differently. Q is her publicist!😂😂😂
You have to admit that was real genius how she did it and worked it right into her song.
The audience, should have collectivley booed her..i ❤ Anita..but no.. Q, please stop !!..i saw Anita 3 years ago and prior to that..She is fully aware of cell phones...
Come on Q. I love you but I’m 60 Anita can conform like everyone else
She has had a reputation for years. I love her music, but don't expect to see me at a concert.
Sorry Q but she is straight up rude period. I am 56 came up in the 80's and attended many concerts in tht era and this is the first time I'm hearing about this Concert etiquette and decorum, but that's fine I wouldn't pay to see her anyway, Id rather see someone that is greatfull for the people that put her where she is today like Ms Gladys Ms Patti Ms Chaka Ms Mills or Ms Ross the ladies that deserve the right to be Divas but would never treat a fan in that way. There is no excuse for treating people the way she does!!!!!!
The lady laughing in the background is cracking me up lol
Funky tried it! 🤣
😂 " I don't who you are" great song!
❤ Anita Baker. 🎤🎶
Weren’t those folks told NOT to video or use flash…??? Then FA&FO…!!!
Saw her in LA and she was fabulous!
Also been to see shows where they require you to put your phone in a type of bag and you cannot remove the phone until you tap it when exiting the show. Maybe she needs to start requiring that
I'm with AL. Anita is out of order 😂😂😂😂!!!!
AL getting all his coins back😂
Auntie said what she said and she meant that! 😂😂😂
She's ridiculous.. She gotta stay home now
No excuses for Anita Baker
If the show is good enough, then people forget all about recording. I tried to record the first Prince concert I attended for my own memories, gave up, and live-tweeted it. Then went to another concert a couple months later with no recording or live-tweeting. A friend who is not a Prince fan came with me the 2nd time because of my testimony about how great the 1st concert was AND she saw that I was not impressed with anything that Vegas had to offer in comparison. Both shows were enjoyable for me. The truth is that these old-school artists don't want clips of their shows online because they think that it interferes with sales. But if it's a good show, then the clips will increase concert sales. Word of mouth is the best (or worst) free advertising! That said, a few years ago, God gave me a dream of many people leaving an Anita Baker concert early because of her stank attitude. This is all just fulfilling prophecy.
Sorry Q. She wasn't in a Cave. I am 67 yrs old and I know you are talking nonsense. Poor Baby!
She entertained us at that show! Folks need to stop whining. She was sweet overall IMO. The vocals ATE tho
She was not gone 20 years. She was gone about 10 to raise her boys and care for family. Rhythm of Love in 1994, and then “My Everything” was released in 2004… and she’s been touring and performing live since then. Some of the best footage out there is of her Radio City in 2012 and can be found right here on TH-cam. Fact check before you spew nonsense!
Q let it go you're trying your best to vouche for Aunt Anita.. No baby, Aunt is rude 😂😂
They have been telling people that for you cannot bring a camera or cell phone and record that is a No-No I don't think too many people realize that. But that's been the rule for years.
Al listed all the details for reimbursement that was hilarious!!
As far as using a flash on any source, phone/camera, it should be educated that at any concert it's 99.999999% worthless...they are only useful up to maybe 25 feet!
A flash?! Anita Baker was around when people had actual cameras!!
I went to a Dave Chapelle show and security provided us with phone pouches that had locks on it to prevent recording/pictures. It’s something for artists to take into consideration to prevent these issues. I understand her enforcing the rules of no recording/pictures, however, the approach could have been softer.
Not Q sitting there protecting Anita at all cost, but was quick on Lauryn Hill's a**😄
It has not been 20 years since anitas past tour funky stop it . She had a fairwell tour in 2018.
if no phones are allowed and you get caught... your fault for not following the rules... bye bye
I wouldn't go to an Anita Baker Concert even if it was Free!!! She is not that great! Never was! Poor Q. She must be his Godmother! 😅😂
Don't do that cause is somebody within the black community, and who are u?
Most theaters ask you to refrain from taking photos or videos with light. It is not an unusual request. Actually, the ushers should have handled the patrons that were using the cellphone lights. That should not have been up to the artist to correct. Perhaps Anita could have asked security to make them stop using the lights instead of putting them out, but they should have known better.
Tell me someone Anita has been in a feud with? She even blocked Cheryl "Got to be real" Lynn from her twitter because she annoyed her. 😂
Q is right the flashes from camera's does irritate performers' eyes.
