Rate This Singer - Female Edition - Day 6 - Anita Baker

[Standing on business]

I can't help but think you're being biased here.
Anita vs. Beyonce is weird to me. Anita's voice is unique and her music is timeless. Beyonce's voice is not unique and her music is not timeless. Raw vocal ability though, I guess Beyonce is a better raw vocalist. It pains me to say it.

Thank you, and how am I being biased when I admitted that Anita’s music is way better.

And Beyoncé’s music being timeless is up to preference, she’s still an active artist and singles from her first album are still being played. It might not be for YOU but down the line I’m sure a lot of her singles will still get radio and TV play.

shes easily top tier to me

is there a list of singers that you plan on listing?

Nah. For the most part, I think of them at random. I'm open to any suggestions though.

Idk breh. I'm a Beyonce fan and she gets good rotation on my playlist. Like I said in her thread, she only got a few great songs. Everything else is just meh, good for the moment. Songs like Love on Top and Crazy in Love are the only songs from her that I can honestly say will get play time 25 years from now. Her music just doesn't age well. My personal favs from her are Me, Myself & I, Speechless & Rather Be With You. Not a great catalog of songs.

She never really had anything that was too up tempo. She is more for the grown and sexy, but I think that's her niche, and she definitely held it down.

No doubt. I can appreciate her more now but as a kid when she was in her prime her music would put me to sleep

Anita Baker version of 'Lately'>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyrese version of 'Lately'

Tyrese version is better bro but Anitas is hot too.

 

[KodeBlue]

Y’all act like I didn’t give her a 9


But I’m saying tho. All her music is like the exact same tempo. Some shyt women be curled up next to the fireplace with some wine to

Breh, my mother did that shyt when she played Anita Baker when i was growing up.

 

[UpAndComing]

Gave her a 9. She can sing her ass off but her music was always kinda boring to me

I love Anita so much I had to give her a 10.
Also, don't forget the classic Ain't No Need to Worry with The Winans. She got me with that note at 2:27.

My favorite female singer

Couldn’t stand her music when I was a kid lol, had to grow up to appreciate her.

That last verse on Angel tho


Swear to God if a woman ever sang to me like that she could have it all
