What a fabulous singer and performer.
RIP Tina!
RIP Tina!
I never personally cared for her work, however she appears to have had a great impact on others and she was a human being so, Rest In Peace Tina.
This!I'm a sucker for any good singer with rasp and/or vibrato.
But with Tina...there was an attitude. It was in the voice, in the lyrics, in the moves, a confidence that was sexy as Hell. People like Madonna sort of "perform" that kind of sexy confidence....but for Tina, it was natural. It was her essence. And yet her music was always a little melancholy when you really listen....there was always something lost, or something missing, or something to regret.
It wasn't just her music for me. It was something she touched on...something like "Yes, I bleed, but I survive." Sometimes it's an inspirational surviving, sometimes it's a defeatism..such as "Hero" or "Private Dancer".
I get you, though...in my younger years, she was "background music" and it did nothing for me. It wasn't until I sat and listened to her music, on it's own, that my appreciation grew.
