Tina Turner Simply The Best 2021

[girlsmiley]

I've always been a big fan of Tina Turner so I was nearly in tears two minutes in lol. Not for any reason in particular. I think it's that big Tina presence. She's a very strong woman. Strong performer. I remember watching Rio '88 on video in the 90s and thinking wow. She is inspirational. When you put all those things together? Well they reach out and they grab you. Young, old. It doesn't matter. They grab you.

There were times during the documentary that I really felt bad for her. Raised in Nutbush. On a cotton farm. She was Ann Mae Bullock back then. Literally left by her mother, and then her father. She said that she felt her mother had not loved her, that she "wasn't wanted", and that her mother had planned to leave her father when pregnant with her. Tina said she remembered her mother staring out the window and thinking how pretty she was. And then never seeing her mother at that window again.

We all know the Ike part. Heads up, some of that is tough to hear. I can't imagine how it must have been to live through that. I mean, she nearly didn't.

But what really struck me is what she said about her life in general. She said something along the lines of "It hasn't been a good life. The bad has outweighed the good". She says a lot of things in a matter-of-fact way to keep her tone light.

It really makes you think, you know? Not everyone gets a good life. There are a lot of people out there who have it a lot harder than others.

I'm not sure how you could watch it your country sorry. In Australia you can find it on Binge.

She has a beautiful home in Switzerland, now. Loves her husband. Seems like a lovely man.

Adore her

Hit me again Ike and this time, put some stank on it!

Jim Carrey, Liar, Liar

I met her in the early 70s when it was the ike and Tina Turner show. I was a policeman and was off duty and worked security for thier show in Terre haute Indiana. I walked her to and from the stage and stood outside her dressing room door on breaks. She is a super nice lady.

google says amazon prime.

 

[girlsmiley]

Is it true she had 168,000 spectators in Rio?

That is fucking INSANE

Thank you!
I never got to see her live

I watched a new one called Tina on Sky Docs. I wonder if it's the same. It was fucking good.

True story about her: London club in late 80's a very insistent guy kept pestering her and after initially being polite she eventually told him 'Fuck off, I don't do black men'. Absolutely true and guessing 'Ike' left big scar on her; probably literally somewhere knowing that arsehole

When "Private Dancer" came out in the 80's/90's, I saw her in concert several times. So much energy!!! Even at her age back then (50's??), she had more energy than most people in their 20's & 30's.

Loved her and yes, she overcame a lot to end up having a relatively good life. Just goes to show that a bad upbringing, doesn't mean you have to continue to have a bad life.

She gave up her US citizenship several years ago when she moved to Switzerland and became a Swiss citizen.

I've seen a documentary on her life, but not sure if it was the same one. It seems like it came out several years ago.

Don't think it's the same one. Tina is one of the very best biographical documentaries I've seen.

She worked hard and managed to completely turn her life and career around by her mid 40s. She met Roger Davies and went to London. Loved it. Made the Private Dancer album. Yes, touring at 50. Unbelievable. Phenomenal woman.

America is scorched earth for her, I think. Not a lot of good memories in the US. Extremely traumatic. She's left that life behind.

Happiness is a state of mind, its always available for the taking at bargain prices.

I could say I've had a shitty life in a lot of ways but I don't see it that way.

I try to be blackpilled but as far as I can get is redpilled sometimes.

There are people in prison who rejoice in God's forgiveness and love. There are quadriplegics who celebrate every new day. As bad as all this shit may get, every day you're above ground is a good day.

Gods creation is beautiful and a miracle.

Well if your posts are anything to go by I could say you've had a shitty life too.

Tina is also a bhuddist, champ. Not everyone etc etc. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

I saw Tina on that same Private Dancer tour. One of the best shows I have seen. Tina had the whole crowd standing and singing along with her.

I respect Tina Turner, unlike her upstart wannabe, Beyonce, she doesn't have a chip on her shoulder about race issues, she doesn't think white people are out to get her. she seems a good person with her head screwed on right.

With respect Tina was with such a black bastard the whites she subsequently met seemed angels

Back in the 90s I took my mom to go see Tina in concert, for her birthday. Great show.
Tina had the crowd from the first note, and energy... my lord she had bucketloads of it.
Always smiling, dancing like she did in those heels, and belting out songs like someone 20 years younger.
I brought my mom there because she was a fan and I thought she would enjoy it, but I enjoyed it tremendously as well, more than I’d expected.

Her energy was infectious as well. My mom went home and in the days following the concert, she signed my dad and herself up for dance lessons at some local studio, an activity they still very much enjoy today.
