Watch: Anita Baker WOWs with National Anthem at WNBA Championship Ring Ceremony

Published: Saturday 27th May 2023 by Rashad

Anita Baker may have garnered mixed reviews for her a capella take on the U.S. national anthem at January’s NFC Championship Game (as we reported here), but the Queen of Quiet Storm earned a royal applause from onlookers for her rendition of the historic tune in Las Vegas on Saturday (May 27).

On hand at the Michelob Ultra Arena for home opener of the Las Vegas Aces vs. the Los Angeles Sparks, Baker lifted the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ to new heights ahead of the Aces (players, coaches, and staff) receiving their championship rings in honor of their 2022 WNBA championship win.

Look inside to see the action.

      Hater. When you get invited / paid to sing live at events post it so we can call you a “Hot mess” too. Until then STFU and keep being a fan.

    Sounded good to me but she would sound better if she sang this in her natural vocal style.
