Silvermare, 12 hours ago | FlagThank you, Ovation TV for bringing Rock n Roll royalty to my television. I had the pleasure of viewing Tina Turner's performanc e, and fell in love with her all over again. First, I was struck by how AMAZING she still looks. Most women can only fantasize about having sex appeal at that point in life. Tina Turner made it her living reality! She inspires me to pay more attention to my fitness and appearance in the hope, albeit slim, that I may someday follow her example. Second, I was struck by her voice. No, I was FLOORED by her voice. OMG! It immediatel y reminded me of a comment I read in a special Women in Rock edition of Rolling Stone Magazine in 2000 on which Tina Turner graces the cover with the immortal Madonna and a third, lesser icon. Madonna had exclaimed that Tina Turner IS Rock n Roll. What an amazing compliment , especially from such a goddess in her own right, and this performanc e was a testament to its truth. Finally, I was struck by the high quality of the performanc e itself. Tina Turner looking delicious, Tina Turner singing her heart and soul to an ecstatic audience with the energy of a supernova, this is what historic performanc es are made of. Tina Turner, I love you, and your voice, spirit, energy, courage, drive, and strength. Most of all, I love how you inspire me. Thank you! And thank you, Ovation TV, for showcasing such a stellar queen.
