Tina Turner should be hailed as a woman who came through serious adversity and managed to prevail with her head held high. (She looks beautiful in the thumbnail by the way)❤️🙏🏾
-
Tina didn’t wanna talk about it despite the fact that she inspired people to leave their abusive marriages but she became a living legend and she should have been acknowledged as such. It took too long until the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame finally inducted her as a SOLO ARTIST. But everyone wanna talk about “Ike, Ike, Ike!” 🙄😕
-
I'd argue that Tina IS the blueprint for the standard we have for all the current pop girls. Nowadays we expect female popstars to put on these concert tours full of stage show, choreography, and deliver vocals, all of which Tina did and popularize in her prime. Tina will always be the pioneer of the modern day pop act and that demands the respect from all of us. Long live the Queen of Rock and Roll <3

I wholeheartedly agree. I also feel like people let Whitney Houston drug overdose overshadow her amazing voice. It’s sad how people disrespect her.
-
Of course Chris Brown would reference Tina's abuse in a lyric 🙄 Disgusting.
-
I am really appreciating the content that focuses on eras prior to "contemporary era". Anything prior to the 2000 are so hidden from popular media so this was really insightful!
-
Success is often the best resistance and ultimate rebellion to abusive relationships. Tina not only survived, she thrived
-
I’m happy Tina Turner is enjoying life now after she suffered so much, not just from Ike but even from her own sons’s death. She is a legend and very kind person and deserves the best.
-
Im honestly disgusted at the fact the there are artists who think they have a right to reference the abuse Tina went through. That is not their abuse to write about and what she went through was horrific so to exploit that for a song? absolutely fucked up, even more fucked when a lot of those artists have a history of abusing/mistreatig women (biggie and chris brown). ugh
-
The lady with the long legs ❤️. It’s even more devastating how her abuse was made as punchlines by artists in recent years. People should glorify abuse or poke fun at or become the butt of peoples jokes. I hope Tina Turner continues to live a peaceful life. She has endure so much and has been a trailblazer. Her documentary was amazing.
-
Personally, I was *very surprised Beyoncé okayed Jay-Z's verse in "Drunk In Love". With Tina being her biggest inspiration next to Michael Jackson, I thought she'd be more sensitive to Tina's history.
-
The world is really cruel to women, it’s truly sad. I really respect that Tina doesn’t glamourise anything she’s been through and is quite frank about how terrible that was for her. Even being as honest in saying she has known so little love and so much pain in her life and that she doesn’t feel any of it was worth it. There is no happy ever after or glazing over the past for her, sometimes life is just cruel.
-
Once again, this is what I love about honest. He’s young, but he has an obvious appreciation for music eras from the past.
-
There'd be no Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Beyonce, Rihanna or Ariana without Tina Tuner, never forget that.
-
Really love her…. For everything…. The music, the voice, the presence, the dance…. And for everything she represents… She is REALLY an INCON…. For me, she is a rebellion and showed that music has no boundaries….
-
Jay Z's verse on drunk in love was genuinely the worst. Why would someone even write that?
-
8:08 how can anyone NOT look at this picture of her and not smile after all the challenges she went thru. So we’ll deserved. Truly an Icon.
-
My grandma had me watch the What’s Love movie because she has also been through an abusive marriage in her past. I was so young, too young to be watching it lol but I’ve always seen her as a huge inspiration growing up. She is so much more than what she’s been through and it doesn’t define her, just like my grandma. 💕
-
The media constantly reduces black artist, mostly women down to shit they dealt with.
-
The amount of struggles this woman has gone through her life time yet the way she still continued to be this successful is astonishing!
