Tina Turner - Lyrically Speaking - Interview 1996

[@KevinETaylor]

I am Kevin E. Taylor. I worked for Black Entertainment Television from 1991 until 2020 and still do some specials and research. THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY CAREER. I do not think I ever felt so connected to an artist in an interview. Something showed up in the room, with her, and she was vulnerable and powerful and bold and engaging and free and strong and real. I WEPT LIKE A BABY AFTER THIS INTERVIEW, in the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark.

[@peterssetumba2430]

Wow👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@shannonswift2233]

Wow! This is wonderful, Kevin! Congratulations on this excellent interview. This was the time when she was really trying to get her black audience again and really was in her best form.

[@Peibol.M]

[@bungalowmo]

I’m weeping like a baby as the final credits are rolling. I cannot imagine the tears actually being there! She is a force, a hero to many. She is a class act and will always be. God bless her. Thank you, sir, for being a part of getting this interview on air! ❤️🎶

It had to be so hard to constantly talk about that period. The thing that makes it hardest to put something behind you is to relive it and talk about it all the time.

[@claudiasteinwald8952]

She is so innocently honest, when she talks about black music and white songs and different styles. We should all be as accepting as THIS beautiful true LADY!!! GOD BLESS HER!! Thank you, Tina!

[@rich-ard-style6996]

God had blessed her in deed. She became a true star that still shines upon us; she found the love of her live and lived it for 37 years, the best husband she could have wished for, she loved her house at the lake, she lived in Europe her dream too, she was loved and still is loved for her talent as a singer and dancer, for the way she is/was, and she had found her inner peace and harmony and no worries. She said she is happy. And. I Wonder, why people still pondering on her first marriage of 16 years in her youth as if she had not found finally the live and love for the last 37 years she had wished for. She had moved on, as Tina said herself. Many people cannot even say they were happy for that long. I measure her on her accomplishment and on here personality, not on the past and those years, that she had successfully overcome and became a super star on her own. And I am glad she did. Why should she not be remembered for herself and her wonderful voice and singing and all she had accomplished❗️🥰💖💝.

[@DIETRICHCICCONE]

I saw Tina perform in stadiums in Dublin and Amsterdam - and in a park in Paris in front of tens of thousands; she was adored in Europe. Tina was up there with Michael Jackson, Madonna and U2 in terms of her ability to pack these huge venues.

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

Madonna not a singer she's a performer so she shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Tina and Michael

Tina Turner is a above the rest as she encompasses a real true artist, whose commitment to her craft is magnificent, really huge, reaching to the core of everyone appreciating her talents. She has performed her best in every performance or any song she has produced. What an absolutely amazing woman! Love her to the hilt!😘♥️🤗

True SLEEPING with rolling stone, jaguar, David Bowie is a way to get to top, gave a r&b song what's got to do with it, and #1 made queen of rock, if you just met Ike how did your son Craig get in the world, something never mention

I love the lip job, is that not plastic surgery, Cher worked her talent, not with people

[@marijnvanlingen8678]

Wtf are you talking about troll

[@jakephillips4453]

@@louisesirls9352 She mention her son Craig father in her book well before the movie came out. Disney is the one who condensed things for the movie. Sleeping with someone doesn't make you the great performer and singer she was. She was better than all of them including Ike. No one owned the stage more than her. And there are countless performances of her for you to see that.

[@MelanatedExplorer]

Freaking LOVE this woman🥰❤🌹😘

[@mattbernabe]

As a kid, Tina was the first celebrity I truly admired, and still have great respect for. I admire her strength and courage to leave a toxic & abusive relationship when it can become extremely difficult for some. She left Ike with practically nothing. She started all over again. Payed her dues a second time, then deservingly became a megastar. She's considered a inspiration for women, but I think she's an inspiration to all genders. Love her.

[@leticiachiok8057]

All women must learn from her difficult years living with an abusive partner and ex-husband Ike Turner. Through her strength and courage, she finally came to her senses to walk away from him. And, she picked herself up and started to shine on her own. God and the universe had paved the way for her to find success in Europe. From then on, she became a true, liberated woman who found herself and valued her own life and built her career once again. Her reward finally came a thousand-fold. She gained back respect and admiration. Whew, what an absolutely amazing journey she led! A beautiful woman inside and out! TRULY AN INSPIRATION!😘♥️🤗👏

One of the greatest memories I have is taking my Dad & at that time, 16 year old daughter to see this LEGEND. She's correct, she's a performer first, singer 2nd but both equal out of this world talent. She's without a doubt the best & most iconic concert I have ever been to, & 2nd was Celine Dion. Tina had Joe Cocker open for her & that was freaking awesome too. My daughter is 36 years old now & she still talks about seeing Tina & how iconic it was for her. My Daddy bought her a T-shirt of course & she painted it on canvas & it looks just like the T-shirt. ❤🙆‍♂️💯 Still blessed & thankful to have seen this Legend 💞 Love you Ms. Turner

Hi

Im struck by how angelic her face is in this interview and her energy is exquisite. She definitely is a woman who knows who she is but there's a certain vulnerability about her too. The sharing of her lived experience having been married to Ike probably has something to do with it. R.I.P Tina

[@FemiNelson-sb1em]

I'm impressed with the lack of bitterness & yet not having anything more to do with him, from her interview with Larry King. She spoke of him kindly & was still so respectful of the hard life with him. Bless her for being an example of her faith. 🙏
