True

She was very beautiful indeed.

Abusers are never comfortable in their own skin.they usually find someone who is outgoing and sure of themselves…then they try and tear it down due to their own insecurities.

@@debbiemartin2026 yes, so true. So pitiful

​@@jacquelineoh6382Tina was still calling Ike behind the scenes

That’s so true that was weird tho

@@Worldshottestpariah Because she was finally happy and it showed in her face.

@@jakephillips4453 she was beautiful

Drop dead gorgeous and talented woman.

Much agreed. If anyone has heard her mother speak, they’d know that she sounds just like her. Tina never had a heavy southern accent.

❤ so true, I wanted to look like her especially her hair one hairdresser informed me that I wasn't African American I still couldn't understand what the difference was, she was such a beautiful woman how did that matter to me? Beauty is Beauty ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

@@colleenvozella4401 amen

​​@@colleenvozella4401, African Americans have completely different hair than any other race, except other Africans. My mom is a Nurse who worked at the Children's Hospital in Oakland CA. During her orientation they spent 2 days explaining how to care for their hair and skin. It is possible to copy their hair, but, depending on the type of hair u have, u might regret it. My mom has fine dirty blonde hair. She told me she got "corn rows" once, and, it took hours to undo them, to prevent extreme tangling. It can end up with having to cut the hair. It can cause a "rats nest" situation. Their hair is tightly curled with thick single hairs. With today's mousse, gels, oils, and straighteners, high heat blow dryers, it's likely easier to have their hair styles. Although fine hair will still need cutting or hours of attention to remove "corn rows". Tina also used wigs. It's amazing that during her high energy performances, that any wig or extensions never came off. When their hair gets wet it will totally mess up their hair. My mom still considers Oakland CA to be her favorite city. She also likes Danbury, CT, where she grew up. She told me that babies with the longest hair at birth are from Latin America. Two inches usually!

Nicely said. And an apt tribute to her legend. ❤

Yea, kinna sad to hear..but my Mom & sister thought and said she looked "stink" nasty and funky. I never agreed, I always thought Fabulous. They said this because many of her moves were wide legged and gyrating, which were unusual for female performers. I Loved her.

​@@songsalon7868, Women are cruel to one another. Not surprised that your mom & sister felt that way. Jealousy is a driver of this. How they are brought up contributes to this too. Think of what many think when a female is raped. What did she do to bring this about? What was she wearing? What was she drinking & on & on.

she doesn't want an acting career she's busy being a singing legend

@@Blumoon_vii you didn’t read my comment. she did want to acting throughout her career and she mentioned that plenty of times.

So kind, so beautiful, so giving. Erwin was blessed to have her ❤️ in his life. She is missed. Mr Bach and his family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏.

Nailed it- feel exactly the same- I hated/hate when interviewers alwayyyys asked about it- just let her live her new chapter and allow her to heal and move on. Been my fav artist/hero from 8-40’s and what a wonderful human being

Its a big part of her story. She doesn't seem to mind it because as she says her practice has allowed her to think differently about it. That it was a passage and had to happen so to speak . A life lesson to get her to become the person she is today. She sees herself as a survivor now and its because of that story.

@@tasibho that is not what she said in her recent documentary. She did not like the endless questions about the abusive relationship with Ike. She wrote the book I Tina thinking it would put a stop to all the questions, but it did not. Yes, the journey she had, the good and the bad, did help to make her the person she is today, a survivor and an inspiration to others who have gone through it or are going through it. However, she did not like having to re-live the pain every time a dumb ass reporter interviewed her and had to bring it up.

It did bug her, and yet she had children to care for, and, she repeatedly said she was learning and she'd made a promise, not to leave him.

A brilliant diamond, nothing rough about her, at all, ever!

My favorite Tina song

She is brilliant!

Who doesn't love or like that song? She's the Queen of Rock for good reasons!

She sounds great and looks even better. Maybe she sounds HAPPY ❤🎉😮😊😂❤🎉😂😮😮

That could all be for the camera for all we know. Just sayin....

She was paid $40,000 for her a t in "Tommy". Ike collected and cashed the check though. I'd have walked out at that time.

@@donspringstead1649 I hear you. You could be right.

@@Woozler554 ok ...but what was my comment? I forgot and I thinking deleted it! Only me!!!

@@donspringstead1649 You were saying it just could be the way she comes across on video.

Me to

THE ACID QUEEN !

I smile just reading your comment...how apt. She a true performer...a legendary act

Tina did not abandon her kids. Some people have to re-read her book.

@@true1evanique Thank U for correcting her👍🏼Some people get things so twisted 🙃🙄😉 Just be talking & don't know what's really going on 🤔

By the time Tina left her youngest child was 16, and she didn't abandon them.

And she still takes care of them. Anytime there is a check in the mailbox, that's not abandonment.

Always sacrifice for your child. You are doing the right thing. You will find a way to leave and have your child with you.

Except he had to go back and talk about Ike. Even after she said writing the book she hoped people would stop asking her about that past. So friggin disrespectful. Much 💜 to Tina.

Erwin Bach 😉 I agree tho!

Whitney was the total opposite of the image Clive created for her and she became a prisoner of that image. I believe she could have been just as successful had she been allowed to be herself. Whats funny is Whitney was considered to play Tina in the biopic. Whitney and Robyn Givens were frontrunners for the role but Whitney was pregnant (and not right for the role). As far as a mentor I think Tina would have been a great mentor but Whitney was already an addict by the time she became a star. Its sad how her story ended she was such a gifted talent and beauty.

@@spanishharlem I enjoy and appreciate your reply here. It's funny, I've just scratched the surface with my "research" but I feel I still don;t have a strong sense of who Whitney was. She seemed to have many different periods. She even sang differently during them. I think her first 5 years were pure fire. If I just had that I think I would be ok. Had no idea she was up to play Tina. That wouldn't have been the best casting at all, right? I can't think of anyone better than Bassett, although I'm sure there were other folks out there whom I never heard of. No one I've seen playing Whitney has really knocked me out. Not bad, but not her. It's just really hard to truly "be" these people.

@@haysfordays When Tina's movie was originally being cast they wanted a big name to ensure the movie's success. Whitney's Bodyguard did amazing numbers and that is why they wanted her. From what I understand Whitney didn't even have to audition if she wanted the role they were giving it to her. She was pregnant and passed on it. Angela didn't have name recognition, but she was one of the few actresses who auditioned who could dance and act. She ended up being the best for the role. As far as who Whitney was as a person she basically was an around the way girl from Jersey who was raised in the church and went to an all girls Catholic high school. She was a rebel, and her extraordinary beauty had her gracing the covers of magazines as a model when she was still a Junior in high school. The reason Whitney and Bobby hit it off so hard is that Bobby allowed her to be herself. She was smart, sophisticated, and classy when she needed to be but the real her was laid back and loved to cuss and smoke cigarettes LOL. Bobby and Whitney were more alike than people like to admit. Eddie Murphy dated her because he was infatuated with her image but once he saw the real Whitney was a chain-smoking cursing sailor who loved to party (Eddie didn't drink or smoke) he lost interest very quickly. Chronic drug use alters your personality greatly and yes Whitney has different eras. I personally think she was at her professional and physical peak during 1992-1995. She was never more beautiful than that era. She was also more relatable and not the pop Princess Clive manufactured early on. Whitney's demise was sad the drugs totally took control of her by the late 90s and the rest is history. Whitney was once the highest paid actress in the world (of any color) when she got 10 million for The Preacher's Wife. She opened a lot of doors for women entertainers of all colors, but especially black women.

@@spanishharlem i still think that a famous accomplished artist like Whitney was, would be a silly choice to portray another famous accomplished artist like Tina. It’s like having Michael Jackson play Elvis. It’s just ridiculous. Actually i don’t even bother to see these type of movies because knowing the artist the way they are, someone trying to portray them always looks bootleg to me.

@@JCX-9 Diana Ross played Bille Holiday. Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles. It can be done!

Oooh now I know I’ll be depressed since Paradise is Here is my favorite song by her! I had been looking at these interview clips of this interview when she discusses Buddhism but was surprised when I clicked onto this & it came up as a full-form interview

@@shannonswift2233 In another site they have the full interview (a few extra minutes), and she said that Two People and some other ballads are not her favorites of that album but she liked then and thought that they were well written

Uncut version: tv.nrk.no/program/FUHA04009887

One of my top favorites, also! I have loved for years listening to her end the European tour with "Paradise is Here." I always imagined myself ending a show that way. :)

She doesn't have any she did dna with that PBS show and there was none, just coincidence

@@pams3747 And you believed that.....her good looks come from the Cherokee....its very apparent. You sound jealous.

​@leegrant7333 all my aunts and uncles look Indian as well as I but we're not Indian, there's no jealousy she went to school with my mom. My aunt cried after the debut of her movie, cause they knew Ike from local venues. She's like a virtual family member, so jealous for what. We love Tina in our family she just happens to not be Indian according to a sit down interview with her and she had no problem with it, why should you.

@@pams3747 oh you are jealous of her good looks that do come from her native heritage.... the mere fact you need to jealously comment is telling.

@precious9157 girl these folks are crazy on this internet as if I could ever be jealous of my beloved Auntie.

That's because her beauty came from the inside out

She actually had no Indian ancestry. There's a show on PBS hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. where he researches the ancestry of celebs. Her mother always told her she had Indian ancestry (which is a common, but untrue claim in African-American culture). But in reality, she had no Native American ancestry at all.

Actually i think what was said in her ancestry, there is more of a caucasian DNA. I think this is typical of majority of the blacks in US because of the mixing of the races throughout the decades.

@@BlackGirlGenius How do you know that, do you have a genetic chromosome test ?

@@JCX-9 Wow, talk about ignoring history. That last sentence really ignores the atrocities against Blk American wmn. The mixing that you speak of is largely due to the period of enslavement and the violation of Blk wmn.

@@ruudgreat9810 You're quite stupid. I CLEARLY STATED ABOVE HOW I KNOW THIS. Get someone to read and explain it to you since you have a low IQ.

Don't discredit a performer. Imagine someone else doing those songs wouldn't work in my humble opinion. The performer creates the song just as much as the original creater.

​@@michaelmitchell2143 agree. She certainly did "produce" her shows, though. She designed her stage, chose costumes and choreographed her dances. Nutbush is her song and in one interview she talked about that being the only song she wrote and hoped to start writing more. She was a precious soul and is already sadly missed❤

When i listen to her music i don’t think about oh did she write this song or not. I enjoy her performance of it. What’s there to be disappointed about?. She gave so much of herself into performing it and making it her own.

I agree!!

There's No comparison to be made...Tina is an absolute Icon. Beyonce love of her comes from Beyonce's mom Tina Knowles is avid fan/admirer.

Tina Turner disagrees with you and praises Beyoncé and even said Beyoncé's more talented, but either way do not pit black women against each other. It is really not your place to speak on either, speak on women in the your own culture.

@@08CARIB Hi there, I know you are not replying to me, but your statement sounds like you know Ms. Turner personally...... (doubt it). The next time you see her please tell her she is wonderful, beautiful inside and out, and a woman to be admired. Ms. Crockett is in no way, “pitting one black Woman against against another..”. Your comment is doing just the contrary to what you are being so critical about. I love people no matter their color, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc. With all the UGLY going on in this world, people loosing loved one, try UPLIFTING others- even especially strangers. Nobody knows what another person is going through so why pass on ugly over a Tina Turner comment--shallow. I hope God blesses you and gives you the comfort you need because I know you need it. Be well, Ms. 08CARIB.

@@leswehman11 My comment quotes Tina directly, she has praised Beyoncé many times. As to the rest of your comment, I said exactly what I meant. Note you had no comment to the unwarranted disparagement to Beyoncé on the original comment, which is not surprising. It is neither of your place as white women to put down a black woman, there are plenty of white women for you to choose to disrespect should you feel the need to be nice nasty.

Unfortunately no, sorry

@@ZvonimirBucevicBuc Thanks anyway. I love this video.

It’s not supposed to corporate

@@gavingavalli389Uhm, ok... 😒 What about *COOPERATE*, though🤔?! LOL I mean I agree her hair is indeed big enough it could be incorporated as a *CORPORATION*, but I don't see how that would make it *COOPERATE*. Can it be safely presumed that was an autocorrect malfunction? LOL 🤣

​@@Mrs.Doubtfire007, Autocorrect used to work well, but that has definitely changed. It seems as though tech companies want us to talk to our devices in order to get the correct spelling and help the companies improve their "talking" software!

I heard nothing close to that.

no. clearly. she said "but i never saw... good side of the nigga... till i hitched a ride on the River Bow Kwe (sp. Kwee?)"

Not even close to what she said.

Brandon - How in God's name did you hear THAT???

Dude really😏

Yeah, so you know better then the person who lived this life in her skin, sure

Until you walk in someone else shoes don't judge what happened to them...I remember when she left him in Dallas it was all on the news.....for someone as a female to succeed as Tina has is an incredible success, if stay with Ike she may not be where she's at today. She is simply the best!!

For the two replies do y'all apy that same logic to Ike? Bc he was there and he walked in the shoes but his recollection of events have always been different and included specific examples as to how. Three sides to every story but the world unilaterally only wants to believe her side. However, if you look at Tina's history and remove Ike as a villain you see that she has a history of using every man she has come across and discarding them, her sons included. There are parts we do not know and I wager that as she inches closer to death she will attempt to sway the Ike narrative back to what it should be, his musical genius...bc all she wanted was the victimhood; I doubt she thought she would truly destroy Ike's image forever.

​@@pele914 R.I.P.
