Beyoncé Is Better than Tina Turner!?!
December 1st, 2008
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 DIVA TINA TUNER
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!!!!!
