Would you say Tina Turner is a great singer? Or is she more of an entertainer? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

If you're into gritty vocals, I guess. | |

Whatever it is she does, she does it right! I love her voice...and I would say that she's an entertainer AS WELL. Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

Hmmm I like Tina, though I'm not a huge fan, but her vocal range does seem rather limited. But she's kick ass in concert. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

She's both.
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 This is from Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters (2007) Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

I think she's a better entertainer than vocalist - like most pop stars. | |

Yeah, she is definitely a great singer. My problem is that her actual songs (I only know the post-1984 ones) are not strong enough... | |

Her 1960-1975 stuff is the best. The Private Dancer era was her finest moment as a solo artist. [Edited 3/23/10 8:40am] | |

I saw her live last year and she was great. [Edited 3/23/10 13:12pm] "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

Tina is THE queen of Rock & Roll. I think she is a great singer AND entertainer. Why do you think Beyonce beat-bites the hell out of THIS woman?!? | |

A great singer, no! A stylist, perhaps. Entertainer, well if you like shimmy-shaking and wig hair tossing yes.
She isn't very versatile as a singer - not much range and she growls a lot. I can be effective at times, but tone and finesse, nawh. Music Royalty in Motion | |

I say that she is both. In her early days, she was one heck of a singer. She wwas raw. Vocals that were out of this world. Over the years, she became more of an entertainer, which is really good. Hands down the Queen of Rock and Roll. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara |
