Many are familiar with the Ike & Tina or the 80s era comeback Tina. She pretty much has been giving you variations on those sides through the years. However, as a singer, when placed in a different setting, she still comes through because she's a PRO. This is evidenced by her restrained yet sizzling take on Joni Mitchell's... ...Edith and the Kingpin again, giving credibility to the org.

I love Tina Turner more than ever - cuz it is some serious business to pull off a Joni cover. | |

I think she's great. She's got the female version of Rod Stewart's voice. Wait a minute, let me correct myself because she was around first. Rod has the male version of Tina's voice.  Andy is a four letter word. | |

I didn’t even want to entertain such a thread because I adore Tina. As already mentioned, Edith and the Kingpin, the rock of that album, is a great showcase of Ms. Turner’s vocals. She can turn it up or turn it down and she can do it live every time. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

That was one of her best vocal moments.  She is actually very diverse with her voice in a way she can sing R&B, soul, rock, pop and jazz. "River Deep Mountain High" was the perfect mixture of pop and soul (pop in the verses and the soul during the bridges).[Edited 3/25/10 12:14pm] | |

Oh yeah, she tore that up "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I believe some music teachers might be tempted to say "She's not a real singer, you know." I've never seen her live on stage where she's said to be at her best, nor have I really listened to her albums.
The old stuff she did with Ike Turner.. You can still smell the funk coming out of the speakers when you put on any of their records. I couldn't really say if she's a great singer or not. Some of her stuff just sound right and that's what counts. Obviously, she's no Aretha Franklin or Sade who are both doing their thang very well too. | |

Tina is an excellent singer! She has incredible power and range. I just love her gritty and powerful voice. She has such a unique voice. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ
