Jimmy Barnes & Tina Turner - (Simply) The Best (Official Video) REACTION VIDEO

[@TheShannon681]

Losing her is painful but weren't we lucky to have her.

[@necianicholas2878]

Rest peacefully now Tina. ❤ Thankyou Michael for showing this song & for your heartfelt words. Jimmy was ecstatic to record this with Tina, as he tells the story of how at the age of 16 in the mid 70s he & several friends snuck into the Apollo Stadium here in Adelaide, South Australia to see Tina performing. He got to the front of the stage & stood in awe of her performance. Her raw energy & passion left him astounded. He has said he fell in love with her then & there. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺💕

[@amandacollins2854]

Tina was beloved in Australia to this day the best way to fill a dance floor in Australia is to put" nutbush " on the stereo. Tina has shared the birthdays the weddings and all the other celebrations people here have she will definatly be missed and remembered. Simply the best . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song was done for the national rugby league in Australia. Tina Also done (what you get is what you see) Tina was the face of rugby league in Australia from 1989 to 1995. The national Rugby league and all clubs have paid tribute to her this weekend. Tina was the shot in the arm Rugby league needed at the time. RIP Tina🙏

Tina and Jimmy singing together is a match made in heaven. Their voices are perfect together and you can see the camaraderie between them. Jimmy said when he woke up to the news of Tina’s passing, he was really shocked. Back when they made this video he was told he had to dance in it. He was really worried because he can’t dance, but then Tina whispered to him, Don’t worry I’ll make you look good. That’s the kind of person she was. RIP beautiful Tina.❤️

[@marycarolan7518]

I thought I had heard every Tina Turner song there was. This is my first time hearing this duet. Awesome music from an awesome lady. Thank you Michael. Your the best!

[@adamannesley5794]

Oh how I wish you could see her doing this song here in Australia with our Rugby League guys as a promotional song for our national footy league at the time Micheal 😁 the joy on her face is priceless mate

[@salvation2979]

what a great duet

[@shoresaresandy]

RIP Tina, you were an amazing singer and person! Jimmy remembers that the producer’s wanted him to dance in the filming this and he can’t dance to save himself. Tina saw the horrified look on his face and lent over and told him to just stand there and she would make him look good!😂

[@screamingfirehawk]

Love you Tina. Stay strong brother, we all feel the loss.

[@leadoucet1432]

The one and only. The Queen. That she got to live so many good years in peace and love is... Simply The Best.

[@artistjoh]

Barnes is possibly the only artist who can match Turner. I love their chemistry, and how they push each other to be the best they can be.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

Jimmy is the male version of Tina. What a great duo. Did they do any other songs together?? I saw her with Ike in my college years. / around 1967. I just dated myself/ She was mind blowing and I did not even know who she was back then. I never forgot her and never will. She was a great lady. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about her with your followers. Love all around.💔

[@Gymnastics-er3kx]

R.I.P. Tina, we love you girl, a trail blazer and great performer your concerts were full on and fabulous. Tina and Jimmy together Dynamite! 🙏🏻❤️ Simply The Best! Aussie loves you Tina.

[@suzanneh.3822]

She was so amazing in every way

[@realbser1956]

It’s shocking the number of greats in all walks of life that we are losing, almost on a daily basis. It makes me so cognizant of my own advancing years and my own mortality and I’m angry and scared at the same time. Tina was a legend, her impact to music is incalculable, IMO. A brilliant singer, a trend setter, very gracious, a survivor of an abusive relationship, she felt more at home in Switzerland because of her husband and also because of the greater acceptance she felt in Europe. I saw a video of her and Bryan Adams singing a song and I felt bad for Bryan. Try as he might, he could not keep up with Tina and she was not even going all out. We could see and feel that she meant a lot to you. Nice tribute Michael. 🙏

[@LeahJ-hf3nk]

Tina Turner and Jimmy Barnes were born to sing this song together. Tina Turner has alwY been an Australian favourite and even though she will be greatly missed, her legacy will live for ever.❤

[@lauragarner7095]

Anyone else keep crying when they see her? Mannn I can’t help it it just happens what a woman. Force of nature she was . And when people say legend they give that name anyone these days who dies but this woman right here really is a legend the life she has lived from being a child and to come out on top and have a career lasting as long as she did …. Miss Tina you are an actual legend! I’m so glad she married a nice man in the end and lived in her dream home ❤ and had the family … she is so loved and I hope she knew that

[@maryhuhnke4706]

So glad you're doing this song! Jimmy was so nervous! She put him at ease. Her friends wanted to know who the cowboy was! ❤❤ She will be missed. ❤

[@TheShannon681]

You NEVER fail to bring respect.

[@sharontaylortaylor1858]

Tina was a real survivor. I feel blessed that I was able to see her in concert on her Private Dancer tour...with my adult children. She was one of my favorites and ahe will be missed. Thanks for the reaction...just beautiful.

[@leegerkew8883]

My absolute respect and gratitude to Tina's legacy and gifts she gave to humanity 🙏 RIP Beautiful Queen 💖🕊💖

[@brownmouse100]

Rest in eternal peace Tina the legend you will bring many smiles to the people who loved your music when we hear it RIP SWEET LADY

[@heidisprouse4290]

Nice pairing. They really complement each other.

[@Laraine3]

Jimmy Barnes considered this moment one of the greatest highlights of his career. He got to sing with his hero and when he met her, he was gobsmacked by her warmth and generosity to him. You can see the joy on his face. Jimmy grew up in abject poverty in a town that suffered abject poverty. When he was a young teenager he and his friends snuck in through a back door at an Ike and Tina Turner concert. It was the first concert he ever saw. His friends were more interested in causing trouble but Jimmy was spellbound so he snuck right up to the front near the stage so he could see better. The way Tina performed was like nothing he’d ever experienced, she was a wild force of nature and in that moment he decided he was going sing like her. The rest is history… We in Australia had a special place in our heart for her and for some unfathomable reason she loved us back. Today the world is a little darker because Tina is no longer with us. Vale Tina Turner.

[@donnabost4445]

You picked my favorite version of this!! Thank you!!

[@iainsmith2434]

The more I hear this the more I realise it is probably the best Male/Female duet I can think of, certainly from the 80s and 90s.

[@alimac1469]

Powerful, beautiful duet ❤

[@janecamac2182]

RIPTina another great legend in heaven beautiful song with jimmy .Tina was one of a kind her music will live on forever 😢😢

[@maxmirni2768]

what a brilliant collaboration and moment in time captured forever

[@hlbjazz]

I've known this song forever - but not with Jimmy Barnes. I had to look him up as I didn't know who he was. :-) This was fantastic. Thank you.

[@frankmuno6626]

Nothing softens the blow of losing such an amazing talent. But I recently heard something that really hit me to the core. Don't be sad that it's over. Be thankful that it happened. I'm so thankful that I grew up listening to the Incredible talent that was the Great Tina Turner. R.I.P To an Amazing SOUL!!!!!

[@amandameale6000]

Echoing your words about Tina Turner being a legend. The first woman I ever saw who could sing ( oh boy could she sing) and dance, and was a pioneer for many present female artists. But none of them can sing like Tina. Much love to you Michael.❤️

[@justlinsu]

Feeling so sad but seeing this I couldn't keep the smile from my face... I feel so blessed that we can still see all her wonderful moments especially this one as I know she loved Jimmy and he will be missing her too. I recently watched two of her epic performances at Wembley Stadium in the UK she was 60 but you would never guess as she danced and ran about but still belting out those legendary vocals. We won't forget this Amazing Lady 💔

[@heidisprouse4290]

Always an honor and pleasure to watch her, to listen to her. RIP fierce songbird. ❤

[@robertzoomer9886]

Thank you , Aussies love our Lady of NRL and yes shewas simply the best

[@timp1390]

One of the best duets

[@angeladawson7162]

Well Said....RIP Tina xxx

[@davidcruse6589]

G'day mate A good tribute She'll be impressed by the out pouring If you notice the greats always come from a struggle in life It switches something in them for the better We all have our journey in life and it teaches us along the way Yeah I grew up with her I was in school when nut bush came out She was very popular over here I think they did this for our rugby promotion NRL and why you wouldn't have seen it before Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

The title says it all. Two great legends combining to make great music. RIP Tina. So sad you have left us.

[@mahls93]

I was listening to this one again for the past couple years. I love this version best. They did this as a promo for our rugby league competition in Australia. She even came out and performed it at the grand final. It was my senior year at high school. What a legend!

[@LeahJ-hf3nk]

I have just finished watching your speech at the end, 😢 your words touched my heart and made me cry, i have seen tina Turners life story and she is and for ever will be one of the strongest and inspirational woman the world has ever seen. ❤❤❤

[@joanmonaghan8428]

Love it, Tina gives thumbs up when Jimmy really let's loose at 3:18. She's having a ball too!!

[@greygolem]

This duet is one of those happy circumstances for everyone who's a fan of music. Two powerful and talented vocalists that match so well actually getting together is always a great thing. One day, they'll both be gone but the music will live on.

[@flutesong5527]

Yep yep the BEST!

[@craigmytton1405]

I feel your pain sir. I've loved tina since 1984 & she's been my favourite idol since. I feel gut punched at her passing. Rest in peace queen

[@davemcdonald10]

RIP tina simply the best forever 💔

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

That is the bench mark right there. The Gypsy, The Acid Queen. ladies and gentlemen, MISS TINA TURNER!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Vale Tina Turner. Love this song it’s one of my favourites. This is what music is all about

[@peaked_aussie]

RIP beautiful lady.

[@robertrea8194]

Thanks for the reaction to a true icon. Love you Tina!!❤❤

[@jolenewitzel7919]

She was soooo awesome! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@maximummilitiaimmaculataem883]

What a duet! Part of the NRL promotions in the 1980’s. Tina was so loved in Australia Something that needs to be remembered in our times of much deception and political manipulation… trying to divide Much love & prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏻 for Tina

[@dee-smart]

That must have been filmed in Australia because Jimmy's band with Diesel on the electric guitar is in the background.

[@jetpark3743]

Australian anthem ❤

[@bernadettelanders7306]

A beautiful soul at rest who gave so much music and love to so many. I love this video with Tina and Jimmy - It’s The Best 💞

[@jeffwilson7100]

Is that Diesel on guitar?

[@MrT115]

Tina was a true legend in every sense of the word. No one had her style and voice. Her voice always reminded me of a sexy saxophone solo. The old legends are leaving us every other month it seems. Just the other day the musical poet Pete Brown passed away. I know of him because he co-wrote many of Cream's songs. Songs like White Room and Sunshine of your love. Back to Tina. I discovered her through Miami Vice of all things. We wouldn't have Beyonce without Tina and her stage presence.

[@neridahicks7160]

Wow wasn’t she so amazing. I can’t wait to watch Australia’s tribute to her this weekend at the NRL grand final . What a loss but what a legacy ❤

[@wrk9851]

Like the song I hung on every word you beautifully articulated(said)! Losing this ICON hits hard. Much love. It's one thing to hear a song, but it's so much more when you feel it to your very soul!

[@Raghnaid]

And Diesel, everybody forgets Diesel. Vale Tina, one of a kind 😪

[@agatopol]

R.I.P. Tina ❤

[@aliciasaracino1233]

Love your honest and intelligent reactions.. Much success to you.

[@trialbyfirepyrography321]

One word....Legend!

[@ScruffyIsMyName]

Tina + Jimmy = Magic. Dramasyde, if you want something truly spine-tingling, rewatch your vid and listen to Tina match Diesel's guitar at the 3:49 mark. Honestly, no-one else could do it. Thank you for this vid.

[@petepotaczek5844]

Rip great Tina. We all have our time, now is yours. Get Gods hips a shakin up there, we’ll all see you soon!

[@cathydionizio886]

Thank You. ❤ 🙌🏻🔥

[@jeffwilson7100]

Great reaction BTW

[@julzhunt7790]

RIP Tina Turner. 😢❤️🇦🇺

[@lauragarner7095]

You know also that song was massive over here because we had a boxer in the uk and he always used to come out to this song and once she performed it live for him I think ? I hope that’s right or I imagined it? I was only a child haha

[@grahamleadbeatter5981]

I don't believe that even Whitney Houston or Judith Durham could have hit the high notes that Tina does in this song. It's just off the charts.

[@carolynh8866]

❤❤❤❤

[@divinemadness7119]

❤️

[@frankscarborough1428]

She found love after Ike. Her second husband truly loved her. When her kidneys failed he gave her one of his.
