I really hate to see Beyonce, a woman whom I have absolutely no respect for, compared to Tina Turner, who is a legend and a classy woman.

Ike is saying "Come here bitch, I'm gonna shove this right down your throat!"

You know it.

Don't you guys read anything before you start ranting about it? It says she should hook up with Ike Turner's BAND, not Ike Turner. As in, put some funk up in there and let's see what ya got!

OK, that's scary. Last night when the assorted PP's were in the chat room after the 'earthquake' we were talking about Beyonce and I said I thought that Beyonce right now = early Tina Turner...

Yes. After comparing Beyonce to a young Tina Turner.

Connect the dots.

La la la la.

It's a bit like saying Rob Thomas would be the Kurt Cobain of the 21st Century if only he'd hook up with some heroin.

Another overblown P issue...yawn!

He was simply stating that in her performance she looked like Tina Turner, but lacked a REAL BAND behind her. He was only suggesting using real musicians not pre-recorded loops, NOT that she should "hook up" with Ike Turner.


Do P fans just HAVE to start up drama over the most idiotic issues??? Grow up people!!!

Well, maybe you can have Ike loan you his belt and you can put the smackdown on some of these willful sass-talkers up in here.

worship

Furthermore, if she did hook up with Ike Turner, perhaps her music would finally begin to improve. Do not forget the importance of Ike Turner in the history of rock & roll.

From the All Music Guide

As a pianist in the early '50s, Turner helped lay the groundwork for rock & roll; he was also a distinctive guitarist with a biting, nasty tone, and was one of the first to make the whammy bar an integral part of his sound.


and

by the late '40s [Ike} had assembled an outfit dubbed the Kings of Rhythm. In 1951, the Kings of Rhythm traveled to Memphis to record at Sam Phillips' Sun studio. Their original tune "Rocket 88" was recorded with a lead vocal by sax player Jackie Brenston, and as a result was released under the name Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats, not Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm. "Rocket 88" zoomed to the top of the R&B charts and is today regarded by many critics as being quite possibly the first true rock & roll record.


Regardless of what Ike Turner has done in his personal life, the man deserves some respect as a musician.

It's a jungle out there.

All I know is that the look on Ike's face when he beats Tina makes me wet. THAT'S what I like in a man, friend or lover. A sense of control.

I'm talking about Ike on film, duh - I know it's not the REAL Ike...the real Ike is even more sleazy looking than Mr. Fishburne.
