Tina Turner Never Doubted That She'd Be a Superstar (1997)
Ойын-сауық
Tina Turner was destined for superstardom. Access Hollywood sat down with the late music icon in 1997 for an in-depth discussion about her life and legacy, and she discussed launching her solo career after leaving ex-husband Ike Turner and how she never wavered in her goals even during her lowest points. "I knew I would work again. I must say, I just wanted to be as big as, let's say, the superstars that's filling the stadiums and et cetera, and I had kind of put it on hold because I was trying to actually take care of my life," she said. "And then, when I decided to go back to work, that was the focus. I want to play stadiums. I want to fill stadiums. I never doubted myself because I've been performing long enough to know that I'm good at that. That's all I've ever done."

Her speaking voice was lovely too!
So articulate. So easy to listen to. So easy to identify with. *THIS woman is inspirational* whether one liked her music style or not. She was one in a million and for her existence and projection, I thank and respect her.
The main reasons she looked so good is because she never indulged in smoking, drinking, drugs & gluttony. She also said she maintained a pattern of proper rest. Having a healthy relationship with a much younger man helped too, I'm sure.

@@TheBrownIsland if meditation & mindfulness alleviates stress, I'm baffled by why she suffered from high pretention most of her adult life. Though stress isn't exclusive to causing high pretention, it does contribute to it greatly.
Her honesty and candidness is refreshing. She was truly remarkable. As a star and as a person. RIP TT
As a woman, I am SO proud of her. She knew how to give her audiences what they wanted. A time when the industry was filled with men, she worked twice as hard as many of them. What a great attitude, she waited her turn so to speak. She knew how to change with the times. Such talent, grace, class, a real lady.

When you consider what she suffered for all those years and to have the determination to create a career that she wanted? It’s amazing, rising to the heights of stardom and never losing track of who she was…Tina gave us so much, and I hope she went gently into her new life. I think of Erwin so often, rattling around that mansion without her, surrounded by all her beautiful things that she loved.

A towering lady, yes.
This magnificent, massively talented, highly intelligent woman and music icon was always so gracious in interviews. How many times she's been asked the same predictable questions by journalists. But she responds with with truth and integrity - and always a warm smile on her face. I love that Tina Turner was a 'girls girl', who loved and appreciated other women and never saw them as rivals. Of course she was a superstar and had nothing to prove. But from her earliest days with the glamorous Ikettes, to her big, stadium tours as a solo superstar in her 40s and 50s, she chose to surround herself with gorgeous females onstage. She knew her worth and knew surrounding yourself with excellence doesn't diminish you - it makes your star shine brighter! One of the British, much younger dancers who toured with Tina, wrote such a beautiful tribute to her on her death. That women as well as men adored Tina Turner, shows just what a class act and a big-hearted human being she was. I'm so glad she found true love and happy ever after in her mid-40s, and got to retire and enjoy her last years with her lovely husband in tranquil Switzerland. What a stunning couple they were, as they happily strolled around the town together arm in arm. Rest in blissful peace dear Tina - Simply the Best!
I absolutely love Tina. It's annoying that this interviewer didn't get it when she said that she was over Ike and the interviewer kept bringing him back into her interview. She is a Class act.

Why keep talking about someone that brought you so much pain? She admitted in her last interview that she still thinks about Ike a lot. I wonder what her husband thought about that?
Tina had such grace and set an inspirational example of deep self acceptance and the power of self determination! Such a beautiful testimony ❤

She was pure talent, beauty and class. What a total knockout. And even when having to deal with interviewers like this. This woman keeps trying to get the "story" and Tina is so gracious.
A real artist, doesn't need to double, go using auto-tune, she's got the most amazing quality as an artist, she was healthy and clean! So, she had a healthy lifestyle. Tina rest in power 🙏 we love you forever ♾️🌹 Ps. The day women could (as Tina) realize that AGE, isn't more than a number of life experience, their lives perspective will change, forever. Thank you, Tina; Queen 👑 of Rock n' Roll. True force of nature and beloved of God.
Tina was such a strong and attractive woman. An inspiration. RIP 🙏🏻💜
The way she talks and her cadence reminds me of Whitney Houston
I have so much respect for Tina, her grace and endurance, her spark. Such a legend. How journalists, just like this one, completely failed to connect and engage her, with the opportunities they had, baffles me. So many cringe-worthy moments with every inappropriate leading question of no relevance, in fact, complete disinterest to Tina- she even says it twice “enough already”. 🤦🏽♀️ Can’t wait for her theatre production to hit Melbourne- it will no doubt be amazing. 🙏🏽
She and Oprah became super close.. i love this interview. Never saw it before. I had often wondered why Tina didnt do Oprah before 1997. Im glad she cleared that up.
And you watch the U.K and Europe interviews from the 90’s/00’s and they would never ask about Ike - they were just overwhelmed to be in her presence and talked about her life NOW and utilised the fact she was till a MASSIVE star here, not like an old has been singer like people viewed Diana Ross or Aretha - she was still very relevant in our popular culture and her tours here were immense! I can’t believe she held her composure with that interviewer…. We accepted Tina, we were never really interested in Ike because they weren’t particularly famous here. I’d never heard of him till the film came out in 1993. Us 80’s/90’s kids just knew Tina!!!
Love how that reporter is trying to get her to say other then that she's happy... She didn't need the USA to be Queen and and ICON either.... 👑🔥💯👌😍🎤📀
The defiance and rest that sits in this woman. So absolutely unmovemeable. It brings me the greatest joy knowing that for many years she was truly loved but for many years she gracefully stepped into her full person and lived unapologetically her own very way. She would not quite fully know the extent of her reach to the many women who now can because of her. May you rest beautifully and in eternal peace. Thank you so much
I loved the way Tina always handled herself as she was being interviewed, with such class and dignity. Some interviewers seemed somewhat sarcastic at times, but she always answered dignified. Simply the best.
All this talk about looks and legs and age, with a woman who has accomplished so much, both in her personal and professional life.
RIP Tina Tuner Queen of Rock&Roll 🙏🏾👸🏾
When heard she was a Buddhist it opened my eyes and I got into Buddhism a few years after that. I’m not a physically practicing Buddhist but I have held on to the basis beliefs and it has helped my life so much. I’m presently dipping my toe into Islam and considering becoming a Muslim. I understand how Tina has been able to be what she is today. ❤
Ultra talented and drop dead gorgeous woman! An American music icon. RIP beautiful lady you are sorely missed!
I always have loved Tina
Amazing, astonishing incredible Tina Turner rest in peace from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Oprah, said it well--she makes me want to be better. Since Tina Turner passed, I've been "catching up" watching performances and interviews like this. She does inspire me to want to be better. I'm so impressed with her confidence and her strength. She knew who she was and what she wanted. She was very comfortable in her own skin and was settled spiritually to move on when the time came. That's something!! 💔
Poised lady- love her.
She is my favorite singer at all time. I love her Private Dancer and Proud Mary songs.
You will always be missed Tina. God Bless you always ❤
7:40 In her process of abuse, she learned what would make her free forever. When Ike didn't go on tour with her, she learned that she only needed a set of musicians and a manager. Because she knew she would make it. That's beautiful. Never throw out the lessons that you learn on your journey. They will be useful for your future. Yes, you may have to pay a big price for each one of them. But it would be worthy. You just get to see it with a positive eye.
Actually Tina Turner is a very spiritual human wing. Her soul shines, she is centred and confident. She respects her body. Respects every human being. The way she conducts herself with dignity, articulates with eloquence, speaks truth that is relevant to all questions. Absolutely amazing human being. We will all miss her. Bless your heart Tina may you be blessed eternally. There will never be another you Tina Turner because you died as Mrs. Erwin Bach. What a great human being Erwin Bach is. May he find endurance to live his life without you. May he be blessed.
I love you so much Tina Turner ❤️🙏❤️🥰
What a lovely woman!👑🎤

This interviewer was such a hypocrite. "The American press" this and that, and then asking an absolute onslaught of those very old and tired questions. As if they had not been asked. As if Tina had not answered those questions at many times prior. It feels they ask these foolish repeated things for a rise or reaction. And what a shameful way to behave for Tina.

Gotta have my Tina Turner playlist every 24/7 Private Dancer album really introduced me to Tina in 1984 cause I wasn't around the Ike and Tina days. She has such a great singing voice that's powerful, strong, wild and rough, her manager Roger Davies gets her to sign at Capitol Records in order to record the Private Dancer album just in two weeks followed by Break Every Rule, a live album, Foreign Affair and a compilation album of singles. Then in 1993 she signed with Virgin to complete the What's Love Got to Do With It soundtrack album based on its film about her life story starring Angela Bassett also in 1996 came the release of Wildest Dreams and then finally Twenty Four Seven in 1999.Meanwhile she went back to Capitol for All the Best, Tina! and Greatest Hits compilation albums that included three new songs Tina was and always will be "simply the best" RIP Tina 💿🙏🏽🎶🎤
What a human Being. So cool❤
It’s nice to see and hear an entertainment reporter offer a shred of depth. Look, it’s entertainment tv, we’re not expecting an analysis of Einstein’ as theories, but usually these interviews are hopelessly vapid. This one offers something more.
Because of her loyalty that's why she took so long to commit again in her life because of the let down being committed. She gave of herself unselfishly as to Erwin who comfortably engaged with the power of 💕 love and God 🙏 as happiness was the reward with being in an unconditional moment!!
I am so glad she corrected her when she said when you had to clean for poor people they're always wanted to throw black people under no matter how sharp you are how well-educated you are it doesn't matter I'm so glad Tina corrected her on that when she said I live but with those people and she chose to clean

This interviewer is terrible. How did she land an interview with Tina Turner? Tina was such a class act. She handled it so well.
Its typical fir America to hold on to past people even after 50 years even when people have died you still see them on magazines covers. Her marriage was long over for decades and people in America still talk about it. Tina has lived a happy live with the love of her live for 37 years and has had a very successful career too. Her dream came true in every way she had wished for. And Americans love to talk about Tinas past in the comments. As she said herself it was the past, it was done. But still people hold tight to it. And she had given up her American Citizenship to become a Swiss citizen and was happy with it.
