It's role. True. But, not sure she should have played the 17 yo Tina Turner @ the night club when Ike first discovered her. She should have won an award for her performance.
Who ever said that Angela Bassett was overacting is a damn fool.. Lol if you look some where on youtube, you will see how Tina showed her exactly how she performs down to hand movements
Zakia Antoinette And u should watch the real Ikettes doing it! Just punch "Ikettes / shake a tail feather" or "Ike and Tina live on the road" and zip to 12:50 and you'll get an idea!
I like this version of Shake A Tail Feather better than the original. Tina was singing it the way she wanted this time around and its so good. I wish they'd release it.
It's given that those youths/background dancers/extras were 80s teens and/or 90s young adults at the time this scene was filmed. I can only imagine how ecstatic their parents were [who were their age during the 60s and 70s] when thaw saw their kids dressed-up accurately to their era... it was surely both nostalgic and magical for them to see their youthful days revived by their children even for just a few minutes. 😃😃😃
😢😢😢😢I have cried for a week or more,I am broken 💔💔😢😢I can't believe she is gone I have listened to this Lady all my life I am 59 I was raised in the projects in Paducah Kentucky n I grew up in the same situation as Tina Turner and I finally stood up and I left myself and I have cried for many years and I am alone now but I don't let anyone walk on me and I will never ever be again and I pray 🙏🙏🙏 I meet her in HEAVEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭💋💋💋💋💋💔💔💔💔💔💔💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 I LOVE YOU TINA AND THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH TO MOVE ON MY LIFE IS BETTER THAN EVER EXCEPT FOR LONELINESS AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love Laurence Fishburne as Ike, man. He should have won the Academy Award that year. This movie is just classic from everything to the music to the acting to the fashion.
I've been told that Tina Turner redid all the vocals for the movie. Now, that's what you call amazing, and yes, of course, Laurence and Angela have always been robbed when it comes to getting awards.
Whoever is on the strings are really murdering this song. Especially towards the end when Tina is dancing with her back-up singers. Now this is a real live music performance.
Tina was the stuff back then and the dancers had it going on. I didn't set an account on youtube in 2008 but I could remember dancingbhard to this and I did again when I played it. Tina was well built, danced classy, dressed decent and talented. I like the music that's out now, I'm not that exclusive but that was back when people danced and didn't act crazy in the crowds but I like the movie and that outfit she got on? Whoo.
Love this version of the song. I have to hear this version over the original. Her re-recorded songs in the movie are better than the originals and L. Fishburne did the Ike Turner vocals himself love his sound on the songs also.
They twerking!!! Lol xD Thumbs up if you “Performed” the little tail feather dance 💃🏽 ..in your living room! This how Tina used to roll baby lmao 😂😂😍 #legendary
Whitney Houston was actually originally offered this role but she was pregnant and had to decline they also considered Janet Jackson and Halle Berry but at the time none of these ladies were available and that’s when Angela was called time is what got her this role and I’m glad she was phenomenal ❤️
Almost true Halle Berry Robin Givens and Angela Bassett were the top three sought after black actresses in the early 90s both Halle and Robin along with Angela audition for Tina but Angela got it due to Tina saying they kind of resembled each other. Whitney and Janet were both considered but we’re too busy to commit
The reason why Angela Bassett didn’t win an Oscar for this movie is because if she would’ve, she would’ve been the number one black women in the world of Oscar performance in they don’t want to see a black woman won Is there Angela Bassett phenomenal performance in this movie?
this was a performance of a lifetime and no award would ever do it justice. There is only one tina turner and there is only one angela bassett. Outstanding work that will never be beaten.
