She kind of reminded me of Anita Baker vocally, she had some good songs, however like with most performers involved with La Reid, got pushed aside for fresher and younger talent. A common practice in the biz.

Don't know how true it is but supposedly Seven Whole Days was meant for Anita Baker. Could also be an urban legend.

Wasn't it "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" that was intended for Anita Baker? I think I remember hearing that.

Toni has a unique tone. She sounds nothing like Anita Baker. I can see why someone would compare her to Anita Baker but no they don't sound alike IMO and also they sing very differently.

Yeah it was. Anita told Toni to kill it, and that she did.

I like her first two albums but I lost interest after that.Her music became generic.

Same here.
