Live DVD? Who the hell recorded this? Some random fan? It looks cheap as hell. I've seen random concert footage shot on cell phones and uploaded to YouTube that look better than this.
I bet the cover art for the DVD is like some picture of her from 1991. SMH.

Wow.
I should have went.
I saw Anita in July 2006. She was good, but I was disappointed that she only sang 13 songs. She talked too much and went on 45 minutes late.

Billboard.com:
Anita Baker Hits Studio With Snoop Dogg, Plots 2010 Release
Anita Baker is considering a live video and/or album for her next release, possibly in 2010. And she's not ruling out the possibility of some new music next year, either.
The Grammy Award-winning songstress filmed shows during the past year at the DTE Energy Music Theatre near her hometown of Detroit, Mich., in the Cayman Islands, and at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minn. But Baker tells Billboard.com that, if the project moves forward, the bulk of the footage will likely come from two shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall over Valentine's Day weekend this past February.
"What you'll probably end up seeing is something that's packaged live from Radio City, with elements of the Caymans and Detroit added into that," says Baker, whose last studio album, "My Everything," came out in 2004. She's also been looking over footage from this year's Essence Music Festival, which will be used for a future TV broadcast. "Luckily I wear black all the time," Baker says with a laugh, "so there's no problem with having to go back and re-cut anything, usually."
Baker released "A Night of Rapture -- Live" in 2004. As for brand new music -- either instead of or alongside the live project -- Baker says there are "a couple of songs that I had in mind for a couple of artists that I think I'm going to use for myself." She adds that the new music is "not a departure. It will be an Anita Baker record, but it will have a lot of surprising elements in it. We'll take a lot of our contemporaries and bring them into my project where they may fit."
One of those could be rapper Snoop Dogg, who Baker is working with on an adaptation of Curtis Mayfield's "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)" from the "Superfly" soundtrack. "We do it in a very contemporary way, a very grown-up way," Baker says. "It's lovely -- who knew that Snoop is madly in love with his wife, you know? We've got a chance to see that in the way his music has grown, so when he comes in to do dialogue over that love theme, it becomes very grown-up and contemporary at the same time."
As for when we might hear, or see, something new, however, Baker is circumspect. "The record company (Blue Note) wants next spring, and I would love for that to happen," she says. "That would be lovely, but we all are mindful of the fact that we want it to be right. So when they say spring, they really are planning for the fall. It's like...I'm a mom. If we want to be at brunch at 1, I have to tell my kids 12 o'clock -- you know what I mean?"

I'm sure their remake will be better than expected.

She is a trending topic on Twitter. She is getting clowned for a supposedly horrendous rendition of the national anthem at game 4 of the NBA finals tonight

It WAS horrendous. The worst part was that she was flapping her wings like the goose that just laid the golden egg, as if to distract from those vocals.

Crackheads aren't paunchy like that. She sounded less terrible the second time I saw it on YouTube but she still had NO business singing that song if she wasn't up for it. It was wayyy too big for her voice.

It wasn't that bad. She just needed practice and to catch the pitch.
She looked really happy to be there though!

LOL!! The very thought that someone would post that Anita Baker can not sing is a joke! I have personally seen Anita perform the national anthem many, many times at Detroit sports games and she has always nailed it. To say she can not sing based on one performance is just crazy. Her new single drops this fall....and you'll see!

Uhhhhh…. She didn’t sound that bad. She can still sing. I saw her on the Monique show a cope months ago and her voice was amazing as ever..
I must say she did seem a bit off in this performance. Is she using some type of substance?

I had caught the show and I very much enjoyed it. Loved Tamia & Lalah's performances the most. So glad that one of my favorite singers of all time was honored.

The album was pushed back to early 2011. It is probably more likely that it will be out late spring IF they stay on schedule which they never do. There is supposed to be a deluxe edition with her Feb 14th concert at Radio City. I think thats the one from 2009 where she sang Angel with Mary J Blige

No. Anita Baker takes forever even when there is news that an album is on the way. There was news an album was on the way in the late 90s and we didn't get one until 2004.
