Beyoncé Is Better than Tina Turner!?!

December 1st, 2008

Beyonce

Oh, snap! Beyoncé is better than Tina Turner! Well that what Kanye West reportedly exclaimed to reporters in New Zealand. “She is just as great, if not greater, than artists we had in the past…she’s probably greater than Tina Turner,” West said, according to singerroom.

While high praises are always welcomed, even from someone prone to knuckle-headed hyperbole as West, but the statement almost seems like a stunt, as if he’s trying to start somethin’ between Tina and Beyoncé.

Beyoncé already got in trouble with Aretha Franklin for reading a script that introduced Tina as “the Queen” before their riveting performance at this year’s Grammy award show. Now it seems that outside forces are pitting a very appreciative Beyoncé against one of her mentors. Maybe Tina won’t take too much offense from Kanye’s remark. And if she does, let’s hope she doesn’t lash out against Beyoncé.

But what’s your opinion? Was Kayne’s comment disrespectful? Will it come to haunt Beyoncé in the future? Or is Tina just too cool and confident with her legendary status, that she could care less what Kanye says?

NO big deal…everyone is entitled to their own opinion! and in my opinion she is indeed better than Ms. Turner.

Absolutely Not! She is not better than the icon and diva Tina Turner

Kanye is just trying to make up for saying the truth about Rihanna being the biggest star at this time. He was probably bullied by Beyonce’s father to make her look good the same way he complained about her bad reviews. Beyonce is all hype. There is no originality. Sure people are inspired by other artists but Beyonce has a bad habit of stealing ideas and taking credit when she’s not the creator. Personally, trace her career and I don’t see anything groundbreaking. Her music is lame and childish. She looks like a dork gyrating on stage. She’s a long way from being an icon, so for the time being she can keep flinging the lacefronts and her fans can continue supporting her bubblegum music. There is only one Tina Turner. Beyonce is nothing but hype!!!!!

CeCe said on December 1st, 2008

I think that beyonce is talented in her own right. She’s not tina turner and neither is any of these other artists today someone from the past. they have similar stage performances, but different artists. Beyonce has said that tina is her idol and she looks up to her. I think its the media who has made one persons musical opinion into something so negative. Both ladies are great artists

littlemissyankee said on December 1st, 2008

No she is not better than Tina, She can even be a lady, always shaking her back side, and i’m not hating ,but it takes more than that to be Tina

olga jones said on December 1st, 2008

Not she not better than Tina ,and Kayne West there nothing to talk about

MUWGirl said on December 1st, 2008

Kanye is going hard, ain’t he? There is no way on God’s beautiful green earth that Beyonce is better than Ms. Tina Turner. Matter of fact, she doesn’t even compare. Ms. Tina Turner overcame the hardships of being beaten and controlled by her husband. She also worked hard to be original and keep her signature style afloat. Beyonce has been managed and financed by her parents her entire career. Think about it. There is NO comparison.

butterfly said on December 1st, 2008

beyonce is a very good entertainer. tina turner is an icon. i wish people would stop comparing beyonce to everyone, like she sets the standards. i like beyonce, i really do, but she isnt the best. no one is. there is always someone who’s better. but really beyonce isn’t better than tina, tina has history, she’s a legend, beyonce is close but not that close 230;R 30;..sor ry… ;

kanye is just a dumb ass trouble maker i wish someone would put him in his place already he just mad that his career aint as hot as it was so he talkin about others whos careers are going better he should just concentrate on not killin another familt member with his fading fame.

daniel said on December 2nd, 2008

I agree…. sort of… Beyonce is the best of her time… and does deserve to be respected as a Legend…. Her time is coming sooner then we think!

Angie said on December 2nd, 2008

Oh goodness, for someone to even compare the two, one must be EXTREMELY unfamiliar with the depth in which Tina Turner sang, and still sings. While Beyonce undoubtedly has a beautiful voice, she lacks that raw, unrelenting, defiance that Tina has. While yes everyone is entitled to their opinion, some opinions are just wrong. Beyonce is glamour, which is fine, but who is she without the make-up, and the fake hair and eyelashes?? Her music has not reached her soul.

LaJouet said on December 2nd, 2008

YES YES YES…. BEYONCE IS THE GREATEST

JOJO said on December 2nd, 2008

Heck NO!! She is nowhere near Tina’s level! Kanye always talking crazy..

scorpion delight said on December 2nd, 2008

B is the MILLINIUM Tina she is just as great as Tina. To replace Tina No but B is good. They Both have blazed a path that is untraceable. So do yo thang Mary Janes.

rb said on December 2nd, 2008

!!BEYONCE I MUST SAY IS A TALENTED PERFORMER AND SHE ALWAYS GOES OVER THE TOP TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED AND TALKIN ABOUT HER,BUT SHE IS NOT BETTER THAN TINA,NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THIS ICON’S STATUS. BEYONCE HAS A THING TO RECREATE PPL’S IDEAS AND PERFORMANCES AND MAKE THEM HER OWN..IM FROM JAMAICA AND THE DANCES SHE’S BEIN DOIN ARE DANCES I’VE DOIN A LONG TIME DERE.THERE IS NO ORIGIONLAITY YES SHE IS GOOD ND I LOVE TO WATCH HER DOE.AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER GIVE SUM CREDIT TO HER DANCERS WEN PPL ARE PRAISING HER..SO YA DATS IT 4 NOW!

Kevin C said on December 2nd, 2008

Why are people always hating on Beyonce? Just stop and give the woman her props. I dont think nobody can sit up here and say they havent had there favorite Beyonce song and turned the radio as loud as it can go when it’s playing. We all love Tina too. Tina is a legend, but yet Beyonce is the future. Either you like it or you don’t Beyonce is the next big thing. She is a legend in the making. No matter how many haters she has she will always have way more fans.

unknown said on December 2nd, 2008

Gay-Z is upset with Kayne because poor little Beweaveable is shook by the new it girl….RHIANNA!! Now he’s back tracking. What a punk!!

truth said on December 2nd, 2008

beyonce songs r corny as hell they r not well written plus she grunt & scream not sing,tina is the best & dont u idiots 4get that,end of story

JoJo said on December 2nd, 2008

I can’t stand it when people talk about these new artists are better than the legends who set the stage in the first place. Where do you think Beyonce got her style and moves from? Or how about Ne-Yo and Chris Brown biting off of Michael Jackson? You cannot say someone is better than the one who created it, that is just stupid. She may revamp it and make it her own, but Kanye doesn’t know what he is talking about. He needs to go pull that BS he calls an album off the shelves and go sit down somewhere.

Sunshine said on December 2nd, 2008

Come on now, Beyonce is good, but she’s no Tina Turner.

Camille said on December 2nd, 2008

First off,
What I don’t like is how EVERYONE turned Kanye’s opinion into a Beyonce backlash. If you don’t like Beyonce, thats cool, but don’t turn Kanye’s words into Jay-Z making him say that or Beyonce’s father threatening him to say that either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should know by now that Kanye has plenty of it. Second, Kanye didn’t say Rihanna was BETTER than Beyonce if you want to requote someone, he said that she made Beyonce step her game up. Third, if you listen to any of Beyonce interviews, she ALWAYS credit whoever shes inspired by. When she performed with Tina at the Grammys, she couldn’t stop praising her and saying how much she loved her and she was her favorite growing up and thats who she mimics alot for her dance routines. So before you start downgrading beyonce like people usually do, PLEASE READ THE STORY RIGHT!!!!!!

Camille said on December 2nd, 2008

So much emphasis is made on the wrong things nowadays. I’m not understanding the majority of the comments made on this blog. Majority of the people is so negative. Of course Tina Turner is a legend in her own right but why take Beyonce status away from her because of someone else’s opinion.

sharon said on December 2nd, 2008

no she is not better than tina. as a matter of fact i think bey is really over rated.

Yvonne said on December 2nd, 2008

I love Beyonce. But come on now, how can you compare a living legend to someone who has not reached the level as Tina has. Sure Beyonce is now one of the top paid entertainers but that is because she has gone into other areas such as movies, commercials and her clothing line. Smart move on her part. But as far as comparing her to Tina who is 70, that in itself should tell you who is better. A living legend. When Beyonce gets 70 we will see who is better.

H-Town said on December 2nd, 2008

Its funny how people say Tina Turner is better but they can’t say WHY. People act like Tina Turner wasn’t shaking her behind either…lmao!

bebe said on December 2nd, 2008

there’s being a diva and there’s being an icon
it takes years to earn that status its not only about hard work
and accomplishments, singing and performance
tina turner is both a diva and an icon
she’s earn her right to gain that title over the years
beyonce has a nice voice and is a great performer
her being with jay z helps her get more appreciation and more doors open
not to mention that her father threatens everyone that says something about bey that he totally disagrees with,
beyonce is diva and she can become an icon
people have to remember these women are in two different genore and era
music industry and fans now and days have set their own values and taste on what is good and what isnt
they are interested in what’s hot right now and beyonce is hot right now
think kanye talks to much and needs to relax
just yesterday he thought that rihana was hotter than beyonce
now are there better singers than beyonce and rihana HELL YES
leona lewis and lets not forget jennifer hudson
but these women are not the most popular ones
they are not that great in performing either
but beyonce and tina are greater performers
this doesnt mean that all of these women havent accomplish
something different
they are all unique and gifted
society just looks at the measure of success and what’s meaningful music differently than back in the day folks

lilp said on December 2nd, 2008

people always hatn on beyonce shes better than rihanna n thts a fact rihanna know whats up n in my own opinion shes on of the best if not the greatest SO FORGET ALL U HATN SMUTS!HA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHH AAHAHAAA WHAT?

LadyK said on December 2nd, 2008

I saw Beyonce on the Ellen show. And she said “Sasha fierce is definitely a different person than me, if I was on stage I would not want to run into her”. I think that proves my point of who was the bully when the real destiny’s child broke up. I feel like it has always been about her. Talented yes. But Jennifer Hudson blew her up in dreamgirls, she will never have the dept in her voice as jennifer, but she tries. And she probably will get a great legend award, doesnt mean that she deserves it. All that to the side,Beyonce has showed us that with hard work and determination you can go far.

LadyofWisdom said on December 2nd, 2008

HELL NO, FUC……..NO:
I love B, but Tina is a LEGEND she earned it,B is good but not that good
she has a LONG LONG LONG WAY TO GO to be even called a LEGEND!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!< br /> Kanye needs to stop, he has not been right since his major lost.
Maybe he is trying to start something up with B and Tina. But Tina and B are real women and B didn’t say it so Tina won’t waste her time responding to that non-sense anyway!!!!!!!!

tia said on December 2nd, 2008

well in all honesty beyonce is talanted ……bu theirs no way n hell ….(exdcuse my french) she cud eva b mrs tina turner she cudnt even b her if she tried she prolly cudnt even live the life tina lived let alone b better than her…nd kanye needs ta stop talkin cuz he aint nevsa sayin the rite thing ….rewind the comment he sed wen katrina went down and now he jus need to rest the metal in his mouth ……o nd mite i add every time beyonce ~~# out wit sum shyt its always sumbody in the bakgrond bakin her u..jay-z …..jennifer hudson&# 8230;..k elley 230;.sha kirah 230;neyo …. nd othas so i say to the world their is only one icon/diva MRS. TINA ANAMAY TURNER YA DIGGGGGGGGGG.

Honey B said on December 2nd, 2008

Consider the source of the comment people! Kanye West is known for blowing off at the mouth without thinking. He’s a whiny, semi-talented brat IN MY OPINION! Bey is tip notch, but she is NO Tina Turner and I’m a big fan of Beyonce! Now, Beyonce is definitely on her way to iconic status if she keeps going at the rate she’s been going, but there will never be another TINA TURNER! Even Bey recognizes that, as she is a humble artist and gives props where they are due…

king said on December 2nd, 2008

All of the young girl and guys think they are the best lets take away there freedom just like it was for tina.tina is the best put them back in the 1950 and let see how good they are.There is and old saying beyonce is good but Tina is great.

sally said on December 2nd, 2008

Beyonce is far better than Tina,why, beyonce has more awards than tina, beyonce can sing better,dance better,beyonce maybe not a legend a yet,but mr.west knows what her is saying,not because Tina is older….

Joi said on December 2nd, 2008

Hell NO, Beyonce is not better than the legendary Tina Turner. Back in the day or Tina’s day it was hard for black artist to be successful. Not only was Tina knocking down walls for Beyonce & others but she was getting her butt whipped by her husband. So to be black & to go out on stage after getting beat down & perform like no other is awesome. Beyonce is sitting backstage looking in the mirror or whatever, not going through anything types of obstacles or hardships. In other words she has it easy. And Duh, of course she’s better now because she’s younger & Tina is in her 70’s but she stills the best. Kanye is always making negative or unnecessary comments that make no sense.

piggy said on December 2nd, 2008

No i think he was just tring to be nice to BEyonce but he should not fill her headup sheis not better than Tina Turner. Tina kan take beyoce any day

Black Angel said on December 2nd, 2008

Tina Turner set the standard to entertainment she is an icon. I would not say that Beyonce’ is better than Tina, I would say that Tina Turner did her thang in her day and is still doing her thang. There is someone that always have to pave the way and should I say Ms. Turner with reverance has difintely done that!
As far as Beyonce’ she’s doing her thang right now, I would go as far as to say she is the new age Tina Turner STOP hatin’ on the girl she has it going on and it’s just her season to shine so let her do what she does best!!!
There will never be another Tina Turner nor Beyonce! EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO DO THEIR OWN THING SOME PEOPLE JUST DO IT BETTER THAN OTHERS.
Have a Blessed Day!!!!!

tommy said on December 2nd, 2008

tina turner is bigger than beyonce she a star . EVERYBODY NEEDS TO DO THERE OWN THING AND STOP TAKING OTHER STAR IMAGES

Joi said on December 2nd, 2008

I get so sick of people saying “Stop hating on Beyonce.” Ain’t nobody hating on her if you don’t like her you just don’t like her. Everyone is entitle to their own opinion. I’m not a Alicia Keys fan, Rihanna fan, Ashanti fan, nor Beyonce fan. If I said I didn’t like those artist wouldn’t nobody say anything. But soon as you say something negative about Beyonce everybody wanna say you hating. Yeah she’s a great performer and she’s beautiful & she will be the next Tina Turner when she’s 70 if she’s still performing… Is that hating? But I’m not a fan. So please get your face out of her fat azz & open your mind. Don’t everybody like her and that’s cool.

storm said on December 2nd, 2008

HELL NAW!!!!!!!! she is not touching Ms.Tina Turner…she is trying SOOOO hard too be like her too the point it is sicking..She needs too find her true self.Tina will always and forever be the Official Tina for the ol’skool and new

beyonce sucks i do not understand why you people have this girl on this high a** petal stool like she is better than the rest of the world. well she isn’t her music is whack just like her weave job. and how dare you compare her to great tina turner or any of that great soul singers beyonce doesn’t even come close. are serious.

lateyia said on December 2nd, 2008

i thunk b is great is she better than tina i dont know tina was great in her days and b is great in times now so how could that be

sylvia said on December 2nd, 2008

Where do you think B got her move from? Tina, so im sure every time Tina Turner sees B perform she like I was do those moves in the 70’s.Here its the 2008 they still doing the Tina Turner dance.

yessuh said on December 2nd, 2008

hell no!!!

penabuttacup said on December 3rd, 2008

Be for real. The kind of music they’re making these days you will never be an icon. I don’t want to hear “Single Ladies” 20 years from now. B is very talented but she don’t come close, and to lump them in the same category is an insult.

KENYATTA said on December 3rd, 2008

IS BEYONCE BETTER THAN TINA TURNER&# 8230;AHH …. NO. SHE DEFINITELY LOOKS BETTER BUT NO IN MY OPINION SHE HAS A LONG WAYS TO GO FOR THAT TITLE. NOT TAKING ANYTHING FROM BEYONCE …OF COURSE.

Tosh said on December 3rd, 2008

I dont think its a matter of if she is “better” than Tina Turner…

Its can she be lined up or listed with the greatest Divas in the history of music…

I say HELL YES!!

Bey definitely has a living legacy…at the age of 27!

unknown said on December 3rd, 2008

@sally…Please. I’m neither a Tina or a Beyonce fan,but Beyonce better singer and dancer because she has more awards? They practically gives those things away nowadays. Plus,the competition is not what it use to be. Beyonce can only be an “icon” or “legend” in this era. She would have never seen the light back in those days. Plus,money/sales doesn’t equal talent/artistry. Don’t get it twisted!!!

unknown said on December 3rd, 2008

@MREYECANDY…Beyonce will always succeed in life when she has little “cult followers” like you supporting that fluff she calls music,that posing she calls acting and those cheap looking haloween ensembles she has the never to call “designer clothes”.

unknown said on December 3rd, 2008

“IF SHE RETIRE TOMORROW WHO WE GON LOOK UP 2………. NOBODY …… …… …… …… ” ;

I’l l pray for you. There are so many other black women/role models out there. Try Oprah Winfrey or Mya Angelo. I’m embarrassed for you. You’ve made this cellulite, illiterate entertainer (nothing more because she has zero substance) be the example you live by.

I love Beyonce and she is a great preformer, on the other hand Tina Turner is still the greatest .Think of it this way without the legendary icons that possesed the dance moves and music of today, really where would we be. There is always a starting point and improvements are made! They both are still great in my opnion.

t-dub said on December 3rd, 2008

why we gotta compare people but TINA is better and she doesn’t have a split personality.at least thats what we think

del said on December 3rd, 2008

beyonces album is super wack she is a biter

mike said on December 3rd, 2008

beyonce will never be tina shes too fake and never original and rihanna is better to me her songs are better and she looks better

ANITA said on December 3rd, 2008

Please,,, Tina is too cool and to grown to feel any type of way about his comment. Beyonce’ is great in what she does i will geive her that but greater then Tina, in about 25 years once Beyonce’ has put in the work and years as Tina has then we can compare the 2. These are 2 different types of Divas Tina has earned her R.E.S.P.E.C.T Beyonce’ still has some mountains to climb to reach Tina’s status.

Brenda Stevenson said on December 3rd, 2008

Beyonce is not better than Tina Turner or Aretha Franklin. She is not even a good singer. She cannot be compared to these two ladies. The grinding and hunching needs to stop. She is too “thick” to be on stage and videos dressed the way she does. I cringe when she performs because she is too thick! Yes she can move, but it takes more for her to be BETTER than Tina and Aretha. Come on guys, listen to her without seeing a video behind the music. I’m not impressed, and I’m not alone.

Kyeisha said on December 3rd, 2008

Hell Naw she is niot better than TINA yall better wake up and see the LIGHT!!!

Hell Naw she ain’t better than TINA yall need to wake up TINA will smash her!!

Gee said on December 3rd, 2008

HELL NO!!!!! Dam what Kanya ugly ass had to say, he is always trying to start something. He needs to worry about his own problems and leave everything else alone to keep the peace. I like Bey’s work but it ain’t no way she better than our girl Tina, Hell Ashanti is in the running for all that matters. Yes, I said it Ashanti can run w/ Bey anyday, Na ha ya love that Bey?!?!?

zee zee said on December 3rd, 2008

Why is it always who is better than who? Why can’t Tina be who she is in her own right and Beyonce the same. This are both “Beautiful” black women who have accomplished a lot in their lives and given black people a good look world round. Kanye sometimes speak without examing “how” what he is saying will be interpreted. I am sure he did not mean “better than” in the sense of “better than”, but in a sense that she has attained the same standing in the music arena if not a little more following than Tina.

Hey let’s show “both” our great ladies some love in being able to obtain what they so rightfull deserve for their talents and efforts.

Sylvionn said on December 3rd, 2008

No Way!! She is not better than Tina. If anything she is “TRYING” to be just like her. Beyonce, can’t think of anything on her own she’s always copying someone else.

Natalya said on December 3rd, 2008

Honestly, I think some of you got it right when you said that Kanye made the statement to sugar coat some of the other comments he has made about Beyonce. It’s obvious that Beyonce is not better than Tina Turner for the mere fact that she has not been in the business as long as Tina and has not had to endure as much (being abused, racism, staying in the business for as long as she has) as Tina has. I think both women are talented but there really isn’t anything to compare. We probably should wait 40 years and then answer this question.

In Tha D said on December 3rd, 2008

If there was never a Tina Turner who then would you compare her as being better than. Come on folks Tina is a legend and obviouly if you,ve ever had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Turner you would know from B’s moves and dancing that Ms. Tina holds a great influence in her perfroming. Let’s not get it twisted, Ms. B. has a long line of Diva’s/Legends that she emulates and that has paved the way for her and others to shake across the stage.
Knowledge is powerful! Let’so the homework before we start these Urban Legend Tales

ChiTown said on December 4th, 2008

More publicity. Whatever works. But Tina turner will always stand alone. Isn’t Bey’s movie coming out soon? She is good and has worked her a@# off to get where she is and a husband. Not bad. Her face is everywhere. She is an alright entertainer and singer but not to the status where so many are obsessed. Like some of the other no one is hating and I personally think that is to keep news and readers blogging.

bettina fitts said on December 4th, 2008

Honestly, they both have different type of voice How can we say beyonce is better than Tina Turner when they sing totally different from each other.I

beatrcie said on December 4th, 2008

just cause you have more awards dont make you a better artist or performer
that’s false
more awards does let others know that you are becoming more well known
and you receive a higher level of recognition but that doesnt mean you are better
for example leona lewis can sing
rihana wins more awards, she’s not that talented
and being in different categories as an artist
doesnt mean that you cant tell who’s more talented than the other
that’s like saying lil wayne vs 50 cent
or jay z vs kanye west
we all have our own preference and different perspective
on how we see things and what we like
but you can tell who’s a better performer vs a better singer
there not the same thing
we are not always going to agree on things
but let’s still keep the level of respect for one another
besides while we are blogging about this both women
are getting their money and probably not stressing about it
so why should we????????????????

Kezia said on December 4th, 2008

Beyonce’ is good but NOT that good. Tina Turner has a strong and unique voice that even Beyonce’ couldn’t imitate.

lil mz.pieface said on December 5th, 2008

Well in all kanye is stating his opinion but he starts lots of mees in the industry and, i feel like yes beyonce is the best and so is tina u have to respect the ones above u and tina and many others made her who she is.i mean all the glitter aon her dresses[tina] and some of her dance moves if look like tinas so in all shes jus a reval of the ones before her!

who listens to what Kanye says??? Leave it be.

Indipooh said on December 9th, 2008

I feel that their aren’t any artist now that can touch the artist of my parents’ time or before. What is music really about anyway now? Beyonce is a great entertainer but not as great as Ms. Tina Turner. Ms. Tina is one of many performers that have paved the way for most artist today….

J said said on December 9th, 2008

Tina is a legand, there is no comparison at all! I agree Bey is over rated. She’s good, however, there is a lot better entertainers!

Monique Anderson said on December 9th, 2008

This is my “bold” comment about this mess here, Some People need to stop saying and doing things to stir up foolishness, PERIOD! To me, this is not funny and it’s not about competition in this matter it’s about growing up mentally. Maybe Kanye feels that way but it shouldn’t haven been published what he said or who ever said! Some People just live to be hypicritical, I see why Shawn Penn use to black out on the media folks! Boy I tell you… GROW UP AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!

t said on December 9th, 2008

Beyonce should’nt be compare to Tina at all.

Mz.Lovely said on December 10th, 2008

I would have to say that Im a fan of both, I cant say that beyounce is better than tina it takes time to get were tina’s at .Voice and lyrics tellsit all ,Tina is a soul singer beyounce music really dont have soul when listen to the lyrics it have no meaning and her videos never makes no since to what she’s talking about. If everyone stop watching her shake her but and listen to the lyrics then u can have ur honest judgement. B really do works hard for her talent but she can never be a Tina Turner but who are we to judge. I give me hat off to both of these woman because they both deserve it

I love Kanye, but I hope he didn’t say that. Tina Turner is a legend who has endured great obstacles to get to where she is today. Also, there would be no Beyonce if it weren’t for artists of the past like Ms. Turner. But we all know that Kanye says stuff to make headlines. He probably doesn’t even believe what he said. Heck, a few weeks ago, he supposedly said something bad about Beyonce. And he could have been misquoted. Regardless, I feel like Kanye is going through a rough time right now. Let’s all pray for him and hope he gets better soon.

Is it just me or is this fake barbie just dont got no talent! Better than Tina Turner?! She could and will never be the singer, songwriter, performer, ambassador or WOMAN that Tina Turner was and still is. Did anyone remember when Diana Ross slyly dissed Beyonce without even mentioning her name at the last bet Awards? She spoke of vulgar girating and sexy clothing that seems to make women a star today. Hmmmm I dont think that she could’ve have out it any better. Beyonce you got a lot to live up to sister chile!!!!

First, the two are not in the same category, Beyonce has a beautiful singing voice, just listen to “Dangerously In Love”! Tina was a great Performer, exciting and fun BUT not known for her voice.
Tina had excellent stage presence but Beyonce does too.
Because of Beyonce’s voice I would say she is better.
Kanye’s opinion really does not have any effect on me.

Personally, I think its like comparing apples to beef…..There is no comparison. Tina Turner is a legend, Beyonce may or may not be on her way to being one. But, I guess we’ll know the answer after Beyonce has been in the business for more than 50 years and looks as fabulous as Tina does at 69….and still rockin’ the stage in sell out venues!!

I disagree J, Tina has a very unique voice. She doesn’t sell out venues just because she can move. She has her own voice, powerful, deep and soulful. Beyonce’s voice is very commercial and very pitchy at times. Both are great performers, but Tina is a LEGEND. No comparison in my opinion

KANYA IS A TALENTED, HADSOME , FOOL !! COMPARING BEYONCE TO TINA TURNER IS LIKE COMPARING WATER TO AIR. THESE LADIES BOTH ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL AND GIFTED INDIVIDUALS .

I agree with the one brother that said that Kayne must’ve been bullied by Gay-Z into saying something to make up for telling the truth about Rihanna.Beyonce has to make alot more songs&better ones before anyone can even begin to put her in a class with Tina Turner.I’m from Houston like Beyonce and she’s not getting love out her like she use to and instead of trying to make real good songs,she wants to do interviews&say dumb sh!@ and make songs similar to what’s already been made,biting Ciara’s I wish i was a boy with her If i were a Boy.

OMEGA QUE said on December 14th, 2008

Kayne needs to worry about why his lame CD isnt selling and worry about his last album being his peak and it’s all downhill now.and i agree with THE WATCHER,Beyonce has alot to do before she can even be compared to Tina.

Beyonce, Usher, Chris Brown, and etc., will never, ever, be better than your legends like Tina Turner, Michael Jackson(R.I.P.), Prince, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, and etc. Do you want to know why? It is because they have no soul, they are not original, they are very overrated, they can’t sing (not foreal!!!!), and they don’t sing from the gut, or heart!!! Everything is rehearsed, fake, orchestrated, and etc. This is not hating, this is just the truth. There are some true artist in this new generation, (like Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Lyfe Jennings, India Irie, and a million others who will never be heard…), but they are not being recognized because of the big wig companies that wont promote them. Today young people go off of looks, videos, clothes, swagger, and etc., and not real talent. Wake up and unplug yourselves from the matrix!!!!!
