Anita Baker‘s latest live performance is getting some attention after she apparently became annoyed with the Texas crowd – parts of which were captured on video.
The legendary crooner put on a show at Houston’s Toyota Center on Friday night and played to quite a large crowd… but at points during the performance, AB seems to have gotten a little involved with a few people in the front row.
There are two videos in particular that are currently circulating online. In one you see Anita saying to some people just below her near the stage: stop recording …in the middle of a song.
There is one more moment where Anita could be seen/heard asking for security to boot people up.
I was there, so I will speak. People kept running onto the stage and interrupting her, and security just let it happen. I would have done the same because they ruined the experience of other people who also paid money. It was a sold out arena, she can’t just let everyone show up

Overall, this seems to have left a bad taste in people’s mouths – with some online complaining that Anita was more concerned with arguing with a select few ticket buyers than doing her best on stage. Others claimed that she seemed to miss some lyrics… and claimed that overall her performance was relatively short-lived and somewhat sloppy.
Now there’s a handful of people defending Anita… saying the people in the front row were actually acting and testing AB. Others said the performance was great overall.
The bigger background to this is of course the Babyface feud she was on the road earlier this year – interacting with him and his fans in the Twittersphere.
Anita has one more show in Dallas tonight, then she comes to Cali for her final two. I hope she can go out with a bang – it sounds like the tour has been a bit bumpy.
