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?

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!!

J said, “Tina was a great Performer, exciting and fun BUT not known for her voice.”

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

SHE REFLECTS ON BEYONCE ALOT THEY BOTH ARE GREAT SINGERS , HAVE HAD BIG TIME MENS IN THERE LIFE IKE & JAY WHO ALWAYS STAND BEHIND THEM IN WHAT EVER BUT IN THIS CASE I WILL HAVE TO GIVE IT TO TINA CUZ …… WHEN N O ONE WAS THERE IN HER LIFE …..

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 .



THE WATCHER!!! Said on

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

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!!!!!
