🎵 Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It REACTION 

That voice. The hair The legs Great performer who overcame so much. Fabulous artist!

What she's saying in this song is simply that she's starting to fall for some guy and she's trying to rationalize away those feeling because she's afraid to fall in love because she's had her heart broke too many times.

Tina is legendary. Beautiful woman with a great voice. She sang a duet with Bryan Adams, in 1985, called "Its Only Love".

The little girl from Nutbush, Tennessee had to travel a long hard road to get to the top. THAT'S what you hear in her voice. That sound only comes from experience and living, there's no way to fake that. Some people call it soul.

"IT" is.....attraction. Too many people equate being attracted to people to being in love when it's not. She also admits the way she was feeling scared her. If you've ever been in love and hurt bad...you can be cautious. She tried to down play love (protecting herself) calling it "a second hand emotion" while telling herself at the same time it was ONLY...chemistry/attraction.

The instant you know just how good Tina is? Is when you hear anyone else try to cover her songs. A real force of Nature. There won't come another.

Brad & Lex, you’ll love her “Better Be Good To Me”, “Proud Mary” and “Look Me In The Heart”!!!! The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. This was one of her first solo hits at age 44, over 10 years after her last hit with Ike Turner! Now that's a comeback story!!

That girl had a rough life, struggled through it and made it, a lot of respect to her.

You got this one wrong Lex. It's about a guy who falls in love with a gal and she doesn't want a real relationship just the physical. No love need be involved is what she's saying.

Tina is a living legend. Rock royalty.

I definitely have a soft spot for this period of her career. Really well produced songs. Even the Mad Max song WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO has a mesmerizing quality to it.

Private Dancer was another great one from this Album. Real deep. Sad & powerful song.

One of the most recognizable tones ever. There is a movie about her life called "Whats Love Got to do With it" starring Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburn. Excellent movie.

My dad got to see her perform live back in the day. He said that he still hasn't seen anyone sing and dance as well as her.

One of the best singers putting her mark on a song and elevating it above expectations again. Agh its magical, her voice is amazing.

I'm always amazed by how little Tina Turner we hear today. She was a goddess diva through all my years growing up, made maybe the 2nd best Bond theme & "simply the best" ringing out from so many boxer camps during fight night. Astounding artist & she went through so much to get there. True legend! Great pick again guys.

Her voice goes from smooth and silky to a wail with a raspy finish.

This is a performer you really need to see live. She was known as the hardest working singer in the world. When she left the stage there was nothing left to want. She was not afraid to sweat.

This song was HUGE back in the day. Tina is fabulous. Thanks!

I was born in 1980. Mom was a singer so we had Tina Turner's music in the house. I have those weird, confusing memories of a very early celeb crush on Tina Turner. Also, this song has pretty much all of the hallmarks of the 80s sound.

A singing coach in another you tube video analyzing Tina Turners voice said she thought that Tina's voice was affected by her childhood in Nutbush Tennessee where she was working in cotton fields, and people had to call out loudly and communicate with loud voices over the distance. and between houses people would call out to each other because of no telephones. The voice analysis from the coach said the same thing mentioned in this video.

This was written by Terry Britten & Graham Lyle, who wrote "Devil Woman" for Cliff Richard that you reacted to 3 days ago. Originally offered to Cliff, he declined it. Then offered to Phyllis Hyman, who wanted to record it but Arista Records honcho Clive Davis didn't approve. Then they offered it to Donna Summer, who sat on it (not literally LOL) for two years. Bucks Fizz, a British pop group with both a male & female vocalist, recorded it but decided to have it sung by the guy and in a faster tempo. They never released it because Tina beat them to it, releasing it in 1983. The rest is history, as they say.

One of the best of all time favorites of mine. Tina Turner was a Queen right there with Aretha Franklin in the pop culture of the time.

A goddess. She and Cher both hit big in the 80’s after a period of relative obscurity. Both vocal powerhouses and beautiful to boot, though Tina has always been known for her legs. I believe she has retired to Switzerland.

I love all of Tina's hits. One of the best voices out there. I've been listening to her for 40 years and she can still give me goosebumps. If you like Tina you should listen some of her other big hits like "Private Dancer" and "You Better Be Good to Me".

Based on my recollection, back in the 80's she was affectionately called "thunder thighs" because of her great legs. It was rumored she had them insured for a million dollars way back then. A true icon!

You should react to Tina's duet with Rod Stewart- "It Takes Two", The two icons just kill it! Tina is Rod's long lost twin!

Tina is a legend ! You should definitely try "Proud Mary" live at Wembley. She was 60 at the time and absolutely rocked that stadium.

“That extra sound in her voice is the screaming at your kid sound.” 👌🏻🤣couldn’t have described it better!… yet, I can’t stop laughing cause it’s hilariously true.

As a kid, 60’s era Tina Turner was my first crush. You need to check out her early material. There is nothing like it.

"A second hand emotion" is correct. Love is not one of our primal emotions. Fear, happiness, sadness, anger, joy. These are things that we feel pretty much on a daily basis whether we are in love with someone or we are not. I am with Tina, love is indeed a second hand emotion.

Tina was about 43 when she recorded this in 1983. I'm glad she had her comeback. It baffles me that she had the fame and success she had and then had to become a cleaner to survive! Ike nearly ruined her, but she's such a powerful woman. She went on to become the Queen of Rock'n'Roll.

Tina Turner - We Don't Need Another Hero

Sometimes lyrics are just lyrics, no hidden meanings, no soulfull stories to tell, just instantaineous inspiration... words put together to rhym in a lyrical way, they fit the chorus and bridge. Just to enjoy.

Tina Turner is timeless!! Spanning decades of music genius!!

Praise Tina turner!! I think one of the most fantastic things ever saw her do if you see Tommy by The Who the movie which came out and about in 1970 cause a scene in there she does this song “The Acid queen “ So me and my friends went all the way down to Los Angeles to watch that film I was released oh my god that scene where she does that song is incredible damn she’s sexy…

Lex is on the right track with the meaning. She experienced a lot of pain in her real life and turned it around, to become an icon, legend, and one of the best to ever do it. She also found true love.

And you should watch her acting debut in mad max beyond thunderdome. She had quite the comeback from the grave of her career.

1984 this was tina's return to the charts, this song was produced by the guys from Heaven 17

The Woman is a LEGEND!!!!!

Nothing but respect for Tina Turner! She was 44 yrs old when this came out and she was huge !!!! Until she retired.

Back in the day, I believe she had her legs insured for a million or more. She always had an outstanding voice.

To this day , Tina has the greatest legs to ever walk on a stage .

My Mom LOVES Tina Turner! I remember growing up, my Mom would have her Tina Turner album/tape/cd blaring in the kitchen while she cooked, dancing around happy as can be. Very nostalgic music for me! Great voice. Great performer. Great catalog of songs. Tina is a legend!

Love Tina! I loved her performance in Mad Max, beyond Thunderdome. Great legs.

Beautiful song. In our household growing up, my mom taught us that Tina Turner and Chaka Khan were "queens". 30+ years later I still think they are and I'd probably blush and start stuttering if I ever met them.

I have a random memory from 1984 of sitting there watching MTV one morn and the only 2 songs I can recall for certain were this and She Bop by Cyndi Lauper. Lex and Brad just did that one the other day. I had zero idea who Tina was. I remember my mom telling me she was already famous before 1984. She and my dad apparently saw Ike and Tina once in the 1960s.

There are stars, there are big stars, then there are superstars. Tina Turner's definitely in that last category.

Tina Turner is a legend in pop music with major hits in the 60's, 70s, 80s, and this one in the 90s. Legendary.

Her voice is like that from years of being choked out by Ike turner. She owes everything to Ike.

Crazy to think how she transitioned the first rendition of this song. it needed Tina on it! Also, I think a lot of people equated this song particularly to her overcoming the horrendous abuse from Ike and it being a rebuttle to that experience. Sometimes the right things happen at the right time and it just clicks. ❤️ Tina

Tina was my first crush as a kid. TO THIS DAY I'm still in love with her. Tina Turner is one of the all time best, artists should pay homage to her.

Her voice is VERY unique...no other like it:)

When you get hurt too many times in life love scares you. You don't want love. You run away from it. It is life

Much respect for Mrs. Turner. You must watch the movie about Tina and Ike. It's a tough movie to watch at times but this woman went through hell at the hands of her husband but she came out on top and made her on way. Love her!

Brad is so stoic and lex is so smiley and excitable, the combination is immense. These two people will make a fantastically robust child

This song was INESCAPABLE on the radio 38yrs ago this summer… how is that even possible?

This song makes me think of Tina, her story, her coming back on her own and strong, and how much she deserved to be free and happy!

Wonderful 80's music. I love Tina Turner. Im sure you all seen this music video before. Come on now. 😄

TIna's big comeback hit. Tina is from Nutbush Tennessee. We got Dolly, Elvis, Justin Timberlake and TIna...not bad!

Beauty of a song. Well sung with feeling. Tina was abused by her husband leading to her cynical view on love.

I've been a fan of Ms. Turner ever since I saw mad max beyond thunderdome as a kid in the 80's. Fantastic artist. The song from that movie is probably my favourite. Well, that and simply the best. My all time favourite boxer chris eubank used to make his ring entrance to that song.

The true queen of rockin roll!!!!

Tina Turner " simply the best "

She was the GOAT among female artists

This must be said about Tina Turner . HER LEGS HER LEGS

Tina ! What a queen!

Tina's a badass!💖

The song was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, who originally offered it to Cliff Richard, but it was rejected. It was then given to Phyllis Hyman, who wanted to do the song, but Arista Records head Clive Davis would not allow her. The song then was offered to Donna Summer, who has stated she sat with it for a couple of years but never recorded it. Some months before Turner recorded the song, the British pop group Bucks Fizz were offered it. Member Jay Aston requested to sing lead on the track after hearing the demo, but was told by the producer that it was unsuitable for a female lead vocal. The group went on to record it in February 1984, but sung by male member Bobby G. Aston recalls the demo was very similar to the eventual Tina Turner version, but their finished version was in a very different style. It was intended for possible inclusion on their next album I Hear Talk but was shelved when Turner released her version first. The Bucks Fizz version went unreleased until it was included on a re-issue of their Are You Ready album in 2000. The Original Bucks Fizz included the song in their reunion concert tour in October 2009 Until the release of "What's Love Got to Do with It", Tina Turner had not had a US top-ten single since the early 1970s. The single went to number one[8] on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for three weeks, giving Turner her first and only solo number-one hit in the U.S. Turner was 44 when the song hit number one, at the time making her the oldest female solo artist to place a number-one single on the US Hot 100. In 1999, Cher, at age 53, became the oldest woman - solo or as part of a group - to have a US number-one hit, with her song "Believe". The song also spent five weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, from July 14 to August 18, 1984, "When Doves Cry", by Prince, being the reason it never reached its number-one spot. At the end of the year, the song was ranked the second-best-performing song of 1984 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100, behind the aforementioned "When Doves Cry". Worldwide, the song did well on the music charts, reaching number one in Australia and Canada. It peaked at number three in New Zealand and on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her highest-charting single on the latter chart alongside "River Deep - Mountain High" and "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)". Elsewhere, the song reached the top 10 in many European countries, including the top 5 in Ireland, Sweden, and Austria. It also reached number two in South Africa.

“We Don’t Need Another Hero” is another good one by her.

"What's Love Got to do with it" is that you have a choice to get involved and if getting involved causes a broken heart, she'd rather not. Tina was such a gr8 dancer, the best legs in the business and her singing was superb. Tina went through a lot of physical violence with her ex- Ike Turner and she's just singing about being cautious in future encounters. But Tina found love again, she remarried; they live in Sweden & except for some health issues she has, she is doing gr8 now. "Better Be Good to Me" is another awesome Tina T. song.

Tina Turner's voice was explained that she had nodules on her vocal cords from working as a little girl working in the cotton fields, along with other singers who had raspy voices. They had to throw their voices to be heard.

Tina Turner has a presence that can’t be taught. She commands attention, it’s palpable and 100% natural.

Definitely one of my favorite Tina Turner songs this and the one from Mad Max beyond Thunderdome

Tina a living legend for real though.

Definitely one of my all time favorite songs! Thank you!

Brad she had the best legs ever as you can see , her voice and legs! I saw her live twice and it was very memorable , enjoy the rest of her amazing songs .

GOD BLESS YOU BRAD & LEX GOD BLESS YOU TINA TURNER

She was in “MadMax Thunderdome.” She sang the movie’s song.

Tina kills this! She made herself relevant for a whole new generation with Private Dancer.

If you ever went to a Tina Turner concert you will know they were simply the best!

OMG...love this song...love this album!

What a great double act you are- Brad focuses on what the meaning of the song is and Lex enters the vibe to get the feel for the song.

You can never go wrong with Tina.

Ahhh... her comeback album... every song was good. Great reaction.

Brad if you are asking yourself what the verses are about then you need to watch the movie what’s love got to do with it. After you know what she went through with her husband Ike by the 80’s she was a changed woman. She is amazing. I had a new found respect for her after everything she went through.

There is a movie about her life of the same name, her husband was IKE TURNER, they were a singing duo before her solo career 🎸

It’s about when your heart has been broken before and you don’t want to let the walls down again and be vulnerable.

Ok…. I’m a teenager again!!! 😂 She was great! This reminds me of driving around the square uptown on the weekends jamming my car stereo. Small town America….love it!

It’s about the fear of commitment when falling for someone after getting your heart broken and not wanting to go through to again. The whole disillusionment of love after heart break and retrying to stay safe. “I’m not falling for that love thing again, I am gonna stay safely in the it’s just physical attraction!” Mind sett

I swear her and Cher are vampires they never age. And have powerful voices

A little bit of trivia: the gorgeous legs in Rod Stewart's video for Hot Legs are Tina Turner's.

Second row center at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis when she was touring this. Maybe the finest concert I've ever been to. A little over two hours of electricity. Tina is awesome.

80’s hair! Love it.

she can sing, she has super star talent on stage - and her legs are something dreams are made of

I was a teenager when this song was released and loved it,she also has many other great songs.🎵👍

What a voice. If you enjoyed this classic, consider checking out Tina Turner: "We Don't Need Another Hero" or her version of "Proud Mary."

The song is about her rocking relationship with Ike Turner! Her story is great read

Her and Ike played in a bar down the street from my great grandmother's house in North St Louis. She had a hard abusive life with him. She made it big without him. Love her attitude.

I was in a 20k people Tina Turner's concert in the early 80s, and it sounded even better than in the record.
