Ms. Bassett, should have won an Oscar for that role

Angela Bassett was robbed of her Oscar! She was absolutely RIVETING in her role. Rest in eternal peace Tina Turner❤ I was raised on your music and I am forever grateful for you! Edit: OMG thanks for all the likes! I know everyone has their opinions. I just really loved Angela's performance 🥰

Angela Bassett not getting an oscar for her performance as Tina Turner is a sin. RIP TINA TURNER. Just an incredible woman.

Angela did a PHENOMENAL job at capturing Tina's complete essence! This is a really special tribute. ❤

I'm really happy that Tina Turner found happiness.

Her passing hit me alot harder than I could imagine. Such a powerful woman. Rest in peace Tina

This brings tears to my eyes. Tina Turner was an icon and an inspiration.

I admired Tina and greatly respect her story. A woman who broke free from abuse and triumphed. What a woman. Beautiful and strong inside and out. An icon for all abused women and all people who face adversity. You can break free and soar! 💜

I usually never cry when someone famous dies, but with Tina’s passing it was different. Like Angela said Tina was inspiring and transcending. And may I add unlike a lot of other famous people she didn’t take the limelight for herself, she stepped into it to uplift and touch her audience.

Tina Turner we’ll be missed. May she rest in peace🙏🏾

Angela, you did an unbelievable job in telling Tina’s story and she knew that more than anyone. Using your own god-given talents, you helped her get through to other women around the world trapped in abusive relationships…telling them that there is a way out, that they can take back their identities in style and become bullet-proof badasses in any walk of life….that’s Tina’s crowning achievement and you played a huge part in getting that out into the stratosphere.

I was 14 years old when she made her comeback . Her inner strength was so amazing and powerful it even struck me as white 14 year old boy from NJ . I grew up in a abusive home I moved out at 16 and never looked back . Her life inspired me to get out when I didn’t think I had any hope or future. I went on to build a great life for myself and my family. Tina definitely had a hand in turning my life around . Every time I thought things were to tough I’d think of Tina or listen to her music it always pushed me through the tough times. The 14 year old boy from NJ is great full for all the inspiration may she RIP

Your tribute to Tina was better than CNN. Thank you. We love Tina

Angela Bassett just caught my heart. Thank you so much for this segment, Graeme

All the trauma that Tina went through because of Ike was very sad. I praise her for finally rising above all that and becoming a most special icon for women everywhere. Rest in peace, Tina, and thank you, Angela, for your beautiful portrayal of her. 💓

Am i the only one absolutely heartbroken about losing Tina? 😢 She always inspired me. She was the strongest woman I've ever seen... The way she turned tragedy and heartbreak into a beautiful new start and opening her heart to the best possible man she could've, taught everyone not to let a man bring you down but to rise above his hate and move forward ❤ Tina will forever be my inspiration and motivate me to be the best me i can #Thank you for the hope Queen 🙏 Everyone- Do what Tina did and focus on your faith and nothing is impossible or out of reach

It was so nice that she was given her flowers through her musical, documentary, and Hall of Fame while she was still with us...and we were there to celebrate her greatness. May she rest in peace.

She came and did what needed to be done. What beautiful gifts she left for us all.❤

Knowing everything this woman went through makes me look at pain differently. My pain can help me find my purpose and live a life of promise. Thank you Tina

I had the honor and good fortune to see this woman perform 5 times. She was a force to be reckoned with. She dominated the stage. Her backup singers who were half her age, struggled to keep up. I greatly admired her. She was a role model and an inspiration. Tina, you were simply the best. You were truly loved and will be missed 😢

Angela's words about Tina were touching and I just shed tears too. Tina Turner's life of music, dance and resilience has moved me deep in my soul!

I haven't felt this type of pain since we lost Michael Jackson and Prince there are no words to describe the magnitude of her legacy she was simply the best RIP Tina Turner 😭😭

Every Australian 🇦🇺 will immediately think of Tina's "Nutbush".. a dance done by all Aussies at school, weddings, family functions, sports events . EVERYWHERE !!! Tina.. thank you for the songs, dances and the moves. R.I.P ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️

“I won’t bother to mention the duo’s name.” Graeme, your takes are always always on point! Thank you for not invoking that man’s name along with Tina’s. That’s always been what she’s wanted all these years. To be removed from that trauma and stand on her own as a single artist. We love you, Tina. I owe so much of my resilience as an adult from having grown up as a child enamored with her story of fighting back. Rest well, Queen! ❤

I couldn't agree more Graeme! Loved your raw emotions no need to apologize! This one definitely hurt us all! May she rest peacefully! ❤🕊

So glad she was able to have time to turn things around and have a beautiful life with a husband that seem to treat her well. Rest in Peace Tina you made a difference and you will be missed.

Angela's a beautiful human being inside and out. Always enjoy seeing her in the movies. So articulate and well-spoken. As for Tina Turner - she was a force to reckon with. I was always a big fan and will miss her very much. She was one of those rare souls who got more beautiful the older she got. Literally. She had a metabolism that people half her age wished they had. She's earned her eternal rest after a job well done. She rose from adversity and entertained us all for so long. RIP Tina.

I am from the Philippines, and when I was 5 years old, my parents introduced me to music they love to listen to. This was circa 69, we listened to the Platters, the Cascades, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. Pat Boone, Matt Monroe, Tony Bennett and much more artists in the 50s 60s. And of course they listened to Ike and Tina. (This was when you have a stereo system that played long playing vinyl albums and 45s). I loved Tina... and mimicked her singing Proud Mary, and at one point I danced Proud Mary in one of my kindergartens school program. My admiration and my love for her music back then even made me change how I introduce my name to friends and family much to my parents laughter. I would say to whoever would listen, " Hello, my name is Tina Turner!". My family and friends would look at me smiling. This went on for sometime. Ms. Turner is my childhood, a lot of memories. So yes early on, I am channelling my inner Tina Turner. You are a blessing Ms. Turner. You will be missed greatly, especially this 5 year old that adored you early on. Thank you for your magnificent existence.

Well said...RIP to a woman who has inspired women to shine.❤

We are really losing so many transfortmative legends. Within a month's time we've lost Harry Belafonte, Jim Brown and now Tina Turner, my goodness. Angela's words were so profound--as expected. She's such an impactful writer and orator. You can feel the love and admiration dripping from every line. I'm thinking of Oprah as well. Its really just too much.

Rest In Peace, Anna Mae Bullock - a beautiful woman filled with grace. Thank you for demonstrating that love has so much to do with it. Angela, I knew your tribute would do justice to Tina’s memory. May God continue to bless you. ❤

A life well lived and a story for us all. My mother went through an abusive relationship. While it wasn’t as physically brutal as Tina’s more so mental abuse, as a then child, it was rough to witness. I’m amazed at the strength for Tina because in many ways, my mother saw the similarities and had this crazy strength in her as well to get away from this situation. While my mother has gone on to be with the Lord, I am thankful for Tina in sharing this dark part of her life to shine a light for so many others. Rest well Queen, you have truly done it all and deserve it.

Wow Graeme 😢 Reading Angela Bassett's words had the same affect on me. Can't believe she's gone. Such an inspiration. RIP #Tinaturner

I know this is not possible yet after TINA survived Ike and became the Solo Queen of Rock and roll in 1988 I thought she would live forever. Thank You Graeme for this tender tribute alongside Ms Angela Bassett x!

Thank you for your Tribute to Tina Turner! Love Angela Bassett’s contribution too. RIP Tina ✨🕊️✨🕊️

Tina Turner was an iconic legend like no other. She fought her way back to the top against all odds and she was the Queen of Rock & Roll! That had to be hard with people telling her she couldn't do it at her age but she proved them all wrong. What a great message for women today! I remember seeing her in Concert in 1987 and she was magnetic! She will be missed! RIH Queen!💖💖

Angela Bassett is always so eloquent. She spoke the most beautiful words about Tina Turner, Tina was a legend, I was very inspired by her story and her life. RIH my Queen.

Tina was a OUTSTANDING WOMAN AND ENTERTAINER ❤

She's so well-loved around the world. This world is missing a wonderful human being with great talent.

Angela Basset absolutely embodied Tina Turner in her performance in What's Love Got to Do With It , brings me to tears every time. Fantastic actress and a beautiful tribute ❤

Tina's use of Buddhist chants to find moments of peace in her turbulent world was truly an inspiration to me. Angela portrayed Tina's many struggles and Tina's great triumphs so well. Thank you Angela. Thank you Tina Turner For Being So Strong and finding a way and showing all of us that way to a better life. God Bless You, Great Tina. You will never be forgotten.

I’ve been crying all day - I thought she would outlive everyone - a powerhouse and a true lady. Forever young and always classy 💔

Angela Bassett is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She should have won an Oscar for her performance. "Ambition eclipsed adversity" Tina Turner, we are mourning your loss. You will be missed. For your enduring legacy we are grateful and thankful 🙏😭💝

She grew through all the hardships, and soared, gave her all, and made us all want to grow . She was and always will be a musical legend and a beautiful human being, we love you Tina ❤❤❤

Thank you for being vulnerable with us. It hurt me so bad to hear of her passing. She will truly be missed ❤

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF ROCK OF-N-ROLL FOREVER……She Was “Simply The Best Better! Than All the Rest!!!” 👑🎸🎶🎵🎙️❤️

What a beautiful message from Tina to Angela- you never mimicked me, you reached deep into your soul and found your inner Tina”. Like you Graeme, I was moved to tears too

We all got in our feelings over her passing. She was so loved. Tina Turner, a true legend & icon. R I.P. 🌹

Oh Graeme, I know it might seem corny but thank you for being vulnerable there for a sec. I know I was too. I couldn't have imagined how hard the news of her passing would hit me. She was one-of-a-kind and truly iconic and incomparable - simply the best. 😭😭😭💔 Have you watched her performance of Let's Stay Together from 1983? She performed it at The Tube. Look it up if you haven't - it's magic. 🙏🏽

R.I.P to a true legend and pioneer of music. Your legacy will forever live on Ms. Turner 👑👑👑💯💯💯💯

Angela Bassett you are a gem and your words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this segment of respect paid to the late Queen Tina Turner. The Angels are saying enter the kingdom because you are " Simply the Best." We lost three of the best.

As a survivor of DV, Thank you Mrs. Tina Turner for Standing! And pushing forward through it all ...And giving me the example of PERSERVERNCE...one of my favorite words. S.I.Prince of Peace Jesus Christ, He gave me the true meaning of the word, Jesus saved me , Deliver me, kept and still keeping me through DV, and helping me consistently to STAND,in the face of adversity and BE, JUST BE, ALL HE CALLED ME TO BE, VICTORIOUS!condolences to your family 😢❤❤❤

You are more than an icon TINA you are a stepping stone for generations after you and your influence has touched the lives of so many through your pain and life. RIP proud black woman!

She lives the Life she wanted, had the Fame and Fortune she deserved. May she Rest in Peace.

Ridiculous that they only inducted her as a solo artist at 81! This should have happened in the 80's/90's already! Always the icon. Always the legend. RIP 👑

Words of love strength FAITH and comfort flows through Angela Bassett for Tina Turner. They couldn't not have picked a better role and a better person to embrace the Spirit and wisdom of Tina Turner. May her Soul Rock In Peace and Rest In Paradise❤

What a beautiful soul ,trail blazer and unique talent. Rest in peace lovely lady ❤

When an actress or actor does not resemble any physical characteristics of whom they are portraying and makes you see the essence of the person through their performance as Angela Bassett did portraying Tina Turner, then you KNOW they are the real deal and although her peers cannot give her her flowers in accolades, we as her fans can just as the great queen of rock n roll did those many years ago when she chose Ms. Bassett to portray her-#RIPTinaTurner

We lost yet, another icon. It was too sad to know that the States did not give her the platform she deserved. May your beautiful soul Rest in Peace, Queen.

You summed it up perfectly! Tina is and will always be an icon and Angela played her so amazingly. I don’t mind admitting I cried a lot

May she rest in musical heaven. Thank you for sharing your voice and life with us. My deepest condolences to her family,friends and all of her fans. May she live on in all our hearts.😥🕊️💜🙏🏽

She was so much of my childhood!...I'm 46 now and now she inspires me by her strength and her willingness to overcome her pain she went thru in life....people like you are never forgotten... Because you my queen are a legend...and they never die...show God some dance moves up there.

A beautiful person inside and out, kind, talented, strong and an outstanding Buddhist. Thank you for being in my life and for the wonderful music, will miss you.💔

"I had a very hard life that i didn't put blame on anything or anyone for, i lived through it I got through it with no blame and I'm a happy person", Tina Turner. She was a kind person who fought back with her resilience and by living well. Its time to rest now Tina you will forever be Simply The Best. My condolences to her husband Erwin Bach.

She and Tina both deserved that Oscar damnit.

Another Black Queen. Gone in the body. Spirit lives on!! #SALUTE 👑T

My mum adored Tina, so I grew up listening to her music. It was the 2nd concert I ever went to at 14yo with her. I was blown away. We played Simply The Best at her funeral, and now they are rocking together up in the ether.

Those words Tina told Angela would have made me melt. Im glad Tina was fully happy as she thrived in Europe with the love of her life. She deserved all the love she received from everyone. She truly is an inspiration. She will live on in our hearts and we will continue to see her live in the artists of today and the future. We love you Tina, and thank you.

I listen Tina since the sixty. She is a beautiful She is the best lady RIP

TT was raised Baptist, Turner embraced Buddhism whole-heartedly in middle age and said its teachings changed her life. “I came to understand that any achievement stems from inner change and only you have the power to realize and change,” she told Harvard Business Review. “The more I studied Buddhist principles, the deeper I dug within myself and cleaned up whatever attitudes or habits were standing in my way.” Simply the best ~ better than all the rest "

Tina showed herself and the world what she was made of, inner strength, fabulous talent, such a kindness beyond any words, one majestic entertainer who took our breath away. RIP wonderful, wonderful, Tina. Angela made Tina proud doing an epic portrayal of her. We will miss her so much, Angela.

Angela did an amazing job portraying Tina. was shocked when I heard the news that she had passed away. RIP Tina.

She will always I mean ALWAYS be in my heart I've been of fan of hers ever since my mom introduced me to her ❤️♥️ Her spirit will always live on .

Speechless Angela, you nailed it!! So true and genuine as you spoke those beautiful words about Tina. You gave her the grace and respect she deserves. Bless you♥

I am completely choked up since her passing. May she rest now after having achieved the greatness she deserved. Thank you for this.

Great video tribute to both Tina Turner and the actress Angela Bassett who portrayed her in the movie, "What's Love Got To Do With It". I love both ladies and R.I.P Tina you will be sorely missed by all! Make music in Heaven Tina, make music in the heavens now!! Again, Thank you for this video and your tears for Tina!❤

My Queen Rest in Heavenly Peace 🙏🏽❤️ Rolling on the River ⭐️...

❤🕊"SIMPLY THE BEST"🕊R.I.P. TINA❤🕊 THANK YOU, 🌹🎤🌷🇺🇸🎼⚘🥰🙏❤🙏

Tina was amazing. I still remember my first impression and where I was when I first heard Tina singing Rolling. I was a teenager. That song never grew old. It’s so wonderful that Tina and Irwin Bach found each other and had a beautiful relationship for decades.

RIP Tina. You'll always be simply the best and thank you for sharing your many gifts with the world!❤

HOW MUCH HAPINESS THAT LADY BRING TO THE WORLD WITH HER SONGS. THANK YOU TINA , REST IN PEACE

Wonderful strong woman that endured so much but remained strong. We love you Tina and you will be greatly missed!!!

Oh I have cried so much since yesterday. I am 35 and I have listened and loved Tina since I was 3. 33 years of admiration - such a sad day

Got me choked up. Cant believe this amazing icon is gone!! The world will NEVER forget you Tina! I was lucky enough to go to one of her concerts in Dallas Tx. I believe it was early 2000's. IT WAS AMAZING! THOSE LEGS!!! Rest easy beautiful lady. A part of my life just went with you Tina.

I was fortunate enough to see Tina perform live three times, and she was amazing! Simply the best! Thank you, Tina, for being in the world. Say hi to Bowie for us.

We lost a true legend I am heartbroken truly r.i.p

Thank you for the realness. Tina was the sound track to my youth. She shone with her strength, charisma and her unstoppable joy. She taught forgiveness and that individual triumph comes from living her best life. ❤🎉

Best tribute to this beautiful Icon! RIP Tina Turner🙏❣️ Tina life is a perfect example of how to rise in the midst of trauma. Loved her as the beautiful artist and human she lived.

My deepest condolences to the family, friends, loved ones and colleagues of, Tina Turner. May her soul rest in eternal 🌹peace. She truly was, "simply the best!"

I just saw the tagline and immediately started crying. I didn't know until now.

Simply The Best! R.I.P. Our Queen. I am so proud to have shared a birthday with you. Nov. 26, you will be truly missed.

Excellent segment. Thank you so much. Tina freed herself and empowered so many to stand w/ their truths and move forward against any adversity. We were blessed to be in her existence. Angela has the same effect. There will come a day of recognition and award for her. Thank by supporting the remarkable people in our lives now before they leave us. They don't have to be singers or movie stars. Family & friends will do but if there is a quality gem that inspires the best in you & fails to be recognized then show some love.

We're still waiting on that Oscar, Angela deserved it.

What a loss! Truly an legend in Every sense of the word. RIP Tina Turner! 💐

Some of the most beautiful, truthful and down to earth words I have ever heard. Heart felt words forever informing all generations, and seen individuals how our lives are always waiting to lived beyond measure!

beautiful and touching tribute here. you made me start crying again when you did. Tina Turner is a symbol of self freedom and immense talent

This one hurt

Angela nailed it. Of course. TY TINA, ONWARD & UPWARD

Just watching Angela Bassett speak so fiercely but eloquently about Tina brought me to tears. I see in her the class of the 'Queen of Wakanda'. But also the passion that drove her to play Tina Turner in the movie (which I've never seen but will do so). ❤

Beautiful, heartfelt and touching tribute. I love these women. 💕 “You never mimicked me, instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world!” That’s exactly what she did. 🙌🏽
