Yesterday, legendary producer Babyface announced that his “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack special would take place this upcoming Sunday, May 24.

After he shared the good news, he gave a tutorial on how to sing like Toni Braxton. He did so by holding water in his mouth to get that not-so-clear sound she is known for making.

Afterward, Tamar Braxton, Toni’s younger sister, joined in on the fun. Being that she grew up around her sister, she was able to mimic her tone and bass perfectly. She told us that the trick was cutting off the words before the end of a sentence.

With those two as guides, the Toni Braxton challenge was born.

Check out some of the hilarious impersonations on the following pages.

This one came complete with original lyrics, editing and a full performance. While we’re here, can we all take the time to acknowledge that this woman looks a lot like Ariane from “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta”?

This man said that the key to Toni is gargling the water. But from the sound of things, he didn’t have anything in his mouth when he matched her sound perfectly.

This woman hit us with a song every adult in America knows–the ABCs sung just like Toni Thee Braxton. Not bad at all.

Trina had to get in on the fun. She chose “Let It Flow,” and nailed it. Not only did her sisters hear her voice all their lives, they also toured and sang background with her. The know it know it.

Another original song we can’t help but to appreciate in today’s climate.
