Chrisette Michele Takes On Legend, Badu, Baker
Chrisette Michele is currently on tour with Maxwell, and if you have yet to see her live, then it would behoove you to do so. Take it from me that she puts on a killer show. She has great stage presence and that voice? Lawd, that voice is an incredible instrument. Concertgoers in Connecticut got to hear just how incredible when she stopped through there recently and gave them a treat while singing "If I Had My Way," from her debut disc, I Am. During the song she explained how she sings the song in the shower and went on to do impressions of John Legend, Erykah Badu and Anita Baker. Her impression of Badu was spot on. Press play below to get into it and enjoy this moment.

Dominic | August 4, 2009 1:48 PM | PermalinkI don't think Epiphany is that bad. Ok, it's not I AM and there is the Ne-Yo factor, but it's one of the best releases of 2009.
oldskoolsista | August 4, 2009 12:30 AM | PermalinkSaw her at the El Rey in Los Angeles. Went out and bought I AM again!! She deserves so much more acclaim. I do think she made a misstep with Epiphany, though....
keith | August 3, 2009 10:27 PM | PermalinkI saw her do the impressions in Atlanta on tour with Musiq and Anthony Hamilton. THE GUL IS BAAAAAAD!!
rodfin | August 3, 2009 9:46 PM | PermalinkI was there in Ct that nite..She sounds great live.. and she was funny too.. and then Killed it with a reinterpretation of her own song If I had my way off her first cd. She is truly talented artist- Well deserving of the praise she's receiving.. If you haven't purchased her new CD, you should..Blame it On Me, Notebook..great songs.. Trying to catch her at the Summer Spirit Festival in MD too..i
JuJuGee | August 3, 2009 8:34 PM | PermalinkI was having CHUUCH when she did this on the Anthony Hamilton tour. She hits both Anita and Badu spot on!
Vivrant Thang | August 3, 2009 4:49 PM | PermalinkSooo talented and funny. You're right, Anita was spot on. Another great act is Malina Moye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojC8Re59TzA) who played with Robin Thicke and is coming thru with D'Angelo. Go Chrisette, go! Some great talent in the rankz.
Soulluvva | August 3, 2009 2:39 PM | PermalinkLast year she did impressions of r.kelly, kci and joj and she was offf the hook..She is a great live act.
E.ton | August 3, 2009 2:06 PM | PermalinkReminds me of when Betty Wright would do impressions of other singers in concert.
Soulrific | August 3, 2009 12:38 PM | PermalinkI thought her impression of Anita was more SPOT ON.
