Anita Baker Reviews

TERRIBLE

30 years ago we saw Anita Baker at the same venue,at that time she was in her late 30s, I have her CD permanently in my car. The only music I play .last night was a real eye-opener. She was screaming. She must’ve said four times in her monologue she needed her teleprompter the people next to me got up to leave. I lasted 2 1/2 songs and my date and I got up and left it sucks getting old is the only reason I could give for why she was terrible

SADLY,,, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED, ATLANTIC CITY 11/24/23

First, let me say, Anita Baker is one of my all time favorites. She possesses one of the most soulful voices ever, exhibiting power, range and a style all her own. Unfortunately, none of those qualities were on display at the Hard Rock in AC on Nov. 24. My quick impressions are as follows... Band was a bit loud. Anita was forgetting lyrics with some of her songs being unrecognizable. Rambling dialog between songs was difficult to make sense of. Poor production of show left Anita complaining about the amount of smoke on stage, lack of a teleprompter, etc. Anita complained through out the show of being old and exhausted, being 68 myself, I get it. Funny first couple of times. not funny through most of the show. In closing, what I found most curious was the fact that Anita's voice was still as strong as it was 30 years ago! I have read many reviews regarding this tour and they all seem to echo the same criticisms.

AWFUL AND SAD

Anita, Anita, Anita…you made us wait an hour and 30 minutes listening to your hits being sung and pictures of the younger you on a movie screen. You came out looking a hot mess disrespecting my all time favorite singer Patti Pattie by ruining her song! Heck you didn’t even no the words because you kept asking for a teleprompter! You talked most of the time about whatever and how old and tired you were and when you did sing you couldn’t remember the words to your own damn songs!! You were rude to the crew, mean to one of your fans and did I say you looked a HOT MESS! My Husband paid ALOT of money for us to come to this concert and it was the worst concert I’ve ever been to! We left before the so called concert was over and that is a first! If you are reading this PLEASE stop stealing people’s hard earned money . Go get some help and get some rest! Damn!

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE WORDS

So disappointed in this concert. First, she was almost an hour late. then she kept singing "where's my teleprompter" because she wasn't singing the words, and was constantly talking to her band and the audience (probably to stall so they could fix her teleprompter). Her voice was good, but 30 minutes into the show, she only sang 2 songs and didn't know the words. Seats were good but we got up and left--total waste of time

A COMPLETE DISASTER!

My wife and I were looking forward to seeing AB and hearing her sing her amazing catalog of songs. What we got instead was a totally disappointing night. First off, the 8 PM concert (Nov. 24, Atlantic City) started an hour late. Apparently, AB had a falling out with opening act, Babyface, months ago at the beginning of the tour, and asked him to drop out. Instead of starting at 8 PM, or at least informing ticket holders via email through Ticket Master that the concert would start an hour later, she did NOTHING. It just got worse from there. She talked to the audience more than she sang. When she did sing, it was clear she wasn't trying, and didn't care. She kept repeating that she needed a teleprompter (since she couldn't remember the lyrics). When she did sing, it was hard to determine what song it was, since it sounded NOTHING like the record. I don't know how many times she said she was tired and old and age 65. The sound of her band was all distorted and mushed together. I think AB really doesn't care, and just wants to get the tour over with. What a shame, and A REAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

I saw Anita In Atlantic City November 24th. She was horrible!!! She was an hour late and she constantly complained about being old and needing her teleprompter. She didn’t sing and wailed most of the night. She turned the concert into an open mic night. Session When she couldn’t waste anymore time due to the fact that she couldn’t sing WITHOUT the teleprompter she came into the crowd and met people. It was by far the worst concert I have EVER SEEN!!!! People were walking out mid show because how horrible it was. I feel like they robbed me and took my money. She looked like she was on something or drunk. I WANT MY MONEY($650) BACK!!!

TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT

I winced at the sound and her behavior. Made earplugs and then eagerly left my $300 seat.
