I love Tina Turner. I respect her very much for the way she took control of her life with Ike. She ventured out on her own and made her career happen. I think at her age she is awesome and is a good example for others. She also has a strong faith and an excellent attitude. She’s the real deal and God bless her. She’s “Simply the Best.” :)
What do you listen to?/Just Asking - seoul62.......
I agree with you 110%. The 80s were great. Today's music sux!
Who the hell over the age of 15 or 16 watches these stupid things?
I think the ratings were low because most people just don’t care. The only thing more boring is the Pro Bowl. Made for a long, bad TV day. The music industry is dying and it isn’t because of piracy, it’s because a lot of the music and musicians just plain suck.
I caught about five minutes of it last night, by accident. There was some kind of weird “hippies meet Cirque de Solei” thing going on with “Let It Be” playing in the background.
Very, very odd.

“Id bet money that youd find a direct correlation between current demographics and sales/ratings.”
The fact that not very many of the watch-cap wearing, saggy pants skateboarders can hold down a job contributes to their lack of buying power.
That is worth repeating over and over...
What you said!!! Excellent description of Wino and her talent. I enjoyed the show too!
I read that too...but I think Natalie has no room to talk. She has had her own (public) problems with addiction. Natalie Cole also came with the pedigree of being Nat’s daughter (with its stresses and comparisons no doubt, but the good of her background would have to overcome some of that).
Aretha’s always been big
N-O-R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Oh I know well who Beyonce and Kanye West and Amy Winehouse are.....
My IPod is filled mostly with eighties and nineties music, even some older 70s and 60s stuff. Probably the latest music on it is PICTURE by FILTER and SHADOW ON THE SUN by AUDIO SLAVE (I get suggestions from the kids). The rest is a bit of everything from classical slices (Rimsky-Korsokov) to the Wailers to Linda Ronstadt to Cheap Trick to The Cure to Depeche Mode to you name it....
Oh wow...what to say...nobody dis-R E S P E C T S the Queen of Soul like that.
I didn’t even know they were on last night.
I love her too...and if I am lucky enough to make it to 69, damn I hope I look that good!
Why is this Winehouse thing all the rage now? That skank is beyond disgusting to look at. Is her music great enough to compensate for all that?
PaMom ;)
I knew that Amy Winehouse would win just because she is a druggie! What a society when people want to reward someone who is a druggie over a real talent like Carrie Underwood. I hear a long time ago Aretha has diabetes so she won’t be around very long. I had read she is addicted to pizza and regularly has them delivered!I would have preferred to hear her sing one of her songs rather than gospel music.
No one alive can sing like Aretha.
But what was she thinking when she chose that dress to wear?
