What she's saying in this song is simply that she's starting to fall for some guy and she's trying to rationalize away those feeling because she's afraid to fall in love because she's had her heart broke too many times.

"IT" is.....attraction. Too many people equate being attracted to people to being in love when it's not. She also admits the way she was feeling scared her. If you've ever been in love and hurt bad...you can be cautious. She tried to down play love (protecting herself) calling it "a second hand emotion" while telling herself at the same time it was ONLY...chemistry/attraction.

^ Here's your answer Brad & Lex!

@seanboulderformerlymel3000

2 жыл бұрын

Here’s what I’ve deduced from watching a few of their videos: Brad is one of those judgmental personality types. He forms judgements then asks questions-not out of intellectual curiosity or because he actually wants answers but because he wants to suggest that he’s smart and everyone else isn’t up to par. He seems like the argumentative type that would argue with you about the color of the sky for years on end. Lex is actually very smart, but she dumbs herself down to appease him and avoid confrontation. I think that’s why their relationship works. It works in the context of reacting/review as well. She softens his sharp edges and makes their videos more tolerable. Lex is amazing in more ways than she probably realizes. That’s not to take anything away from Brad in the context of reacting. I’d venture to guess that he has issues which he can’t help. Their dynamic works like magic in the context of reviews/reacting and it’s why they have so many subscribers. In a context outside of reacting/reviews-that’s tough. But yeah, I don’t think he’s actually looking for an explanation unless it’s in support of what he already thinks. What I think a lot of these young people don’t understand is that art is not meant to be literal. Music is art and in a lot of ways it’s intentionally ambiguous so the consumer can interpret it their own way. “It” is whatever it means to you.

That girl had a rough life, struggled through it and made it, a lot of respect to her.

You got this one wrong Lex. It's about a guy who falls in love with a gal and she doesn't want a real relationship just the physical. No love need be involved is what she's saying.

Brad & Lex, you’ll love her “Better Be Good To Me”, “Proud Mary” and “Look Me In The Heart”!!!! The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. This was one of her first solo hits at age 44, over 10 years after her last hit with Ike Turner! Now that's a comeback story!!

I was lucky enough to see her live twice. Once on the Private Dancer tour.She loved coming to Europe, especially UK. The US treated her pretty badly back in the day. She was such a performer that she literally filled the stage with her presence1 She didn't need any special effects or lighting stage or anything like that. She was just a huge performer! -- Hope to see more reaction to Tina soon.

This was written by Terry Britten & Graham Lyle, who wrote "Devil Woman" for Cliff Richard that you reacted to 3 days ago. Originally offered to Cliff, he declined it. Then offered to Phyllis Hyman, who wanted to record it but Arista Records honcho Clive Davis didn't approve. Then they offered it to Donna Summer, who sat on it (not literally LOL) for two years. Bucks Fizz, a British pop group with both a male & female vocalist, recorded it but decided to have it sung by the guy and in a faster tempo. They never released it because Tina beat them to it, releasing it in 1983. The rest is history, as they say.

@krazycatz

Actually Cliff did not discard this song. Someone in his front office said they thought he would not like it. He has performed this song in some of his concerts and regrets someone in his office turned it down. Although I enjoy Cliff’s version, I think Tina’s version is a killer.

Based on my recollection, back in the 80's she was affectionately called "thunder thighs" because of her great legs. It was rumored she had them insured for a million dollars way back then. A true icon!

One of the most recognizable tones ever. There is a movie about her life called "Whats Love Got to do With it" starring Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburn. Excellent movie.

This is a performer you really need to see live. She was known as the hardest working singer in the world. When she left the stage there was nothing left to want. She was not afraid to sweat.

A goddess. She and Cher both hit big in the 80’s after a period of relative obscurity. Both vocal powerhouses and beautiful to boot, though Tina has always been known for her legs. I believe she has retired to Switzerland.

A singing coach in another you tube video analyzing Tina Turners voice said she thought that Tina's voice was affected by her childhood in Nutbush Tennessee where she was working in cotton fields, and people had to call out loudly and communicate with loud voices over the distance. and between houses people would call out to each other because of no telephones. The voice analysis from the coach said the same thing mentioned in this video.

I'm always amazed by how little Tina Turner we hear today. She was a goddess diva through all my years growing up, made maybe the 2nd best Bond theme & "simply the best" ringing out from so many boxer camps during fight night. Astounding artist & she went through so much to get there. True legend! Great pick again guys.

Her voice goes from smooth and silky to a wail with a raspy finish.

I was born in 1980. Mom was a singer so we had Tina Turner's music in the house. I have those weird, confusing memories of a very early celeb crush on Tina Turner. Also, this song has pretty much all of the hallmarks of the 80s sound.

One of the best of all time favorites of mine. Tina Turner was a Queen right there with Aretha Franklin in the pop culture of the time.

One of the best singers putting her mark on a song and elevating it above expectations again. Agh its magical, her voice is amazing.

This song was HUGE back in the day. Tina is fabulous. Thanks!

You should react to Tina's duet with Rod Stewart- "It Takes Two", The two icons just kill it! Tina is Rod's long lost twin!

“That extra sound in her voice is the screaming at your kid sound.” 👌🏻🤣couldn’t have described it better!… yet, I can’t stop laughing cause it’s hilariously true.

I love all of Tina's hits. One of the best voices out there. I've been listening to her for 40 years and she can still give me goosebumps. If you like Tina you should listen some of her other big hits like "Private Dancer" and "You Better Be Good to Me".

"A second hand emotion" is correct. Love is not one of our primal emotions. Fear, happiness, sadness, anger, joy. These are things that we feel pretty much on a daily basis whether we are in love with someone or we are not. I am with Tina, love is indeed a second hand emotion.

Tina was about 43 when she recorded this in 1983. I'm glad she had her comeback. It baffles me that she had the fame and success she had and then had to become a cleaner to survive! Ike nearly ruined her, but she's such a powerful woman. She went on to become the Queen of Rock'n'Roll.

The Woman is a LEGEND!!!!!

Lex is on the right track with the meaning. She experienced a lot of pain in her real life and turned it around, to become an icon, legend, and one of the best to ever do it. She also found true love.

And you should watch her acting debut in mad max beyond thunderdome. She had quite the comeback from the grave of her career.

Beautiful song. In our household growing up, my mom taught us that Tina Turner and Chaka Khan were "queens". 30+ years later I still think they are and I'd probably blush and start stuttering if I ever met them.

Love Tina! I loved her performance in Mad Max, beyond Thunderdome. Great legs.

I have a random memory from 1984 of sitting there watching MTV one morn and the only 2 songs I can recall for certain were this and She Bop by Cyndi Lauper. Lex and Brad just did that one the other day. I had zero idea who Tina was. I remember my mom telling me she was already famous before 1984. She and my dad apparently saw Ike and Tina once in the 1960s.

Tina Turner is timeless!! Spanning decades of music genius!!

Back in the day, I believe she had her legs insured for a million or more. She always had an outstanding voice.

Nothing but respect for Tina Turner! She was 44 yrs old when this came out and she was huge !!!! Until she retired.

Tina Turner is a legend in pop music with major hits in the 60's, 70s, 80s, and this one in the 90s. Legendary.

Tina was my first crush as a kid. TO THIS DAY I'm still in love with her. Tina Turner is one of the all time best, artists should pay homage to her.

My Mom LOVES Tina Turner! I remember growing up, my Mom would have her Tina Turner album/tape/cd blaring in the kitchen while she cooked, dancing around happy as can be. Very nostalgic music for me! Great voice. Great performer. Great catalog of songs. Tina is a legend!

The true queen of rockin roll!!!!

Tina's a badass!💖

Crazy to think how she transitioned the first rendition of this song. it needed Tina on it! Also, I think a lot of people equated this song particularly to her overcoming the horrendous abuse from Ike and it being a rebuttle to that experience. Sometimes the right things happen at the right time and it just clicks. ❤️ Tina

There are stars, there are big stars, then there are superstars. Tina Turner's definitely in that last category.

Wonderful 80's music. I love Tina Turner. Im sure you all seen this music video before. Come on now. 😄

Much respect for Mrs. Turner. You must watch the movie about Tina and Ike. It's a tough movie to watch at times but this woman went through hell at the hands of her husband but she came out on top and made her on way. Love her!

This song makes me think of Tina, her story, her coming back on her own and strong, and how much she deserved to be free and happy!

I've been a fan of Ms. Turner ever since I saw mad max beyond thunderdome as a kid in the 80's. Fantastic artist. The song from that movie is probably my favourite. Well, that and simply the best. My all time favourite boxer chris eubank used to make his ring entrance to that song.

The song was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, who originally offered it to Cliff Richard, but it was rejected. It was then given to Phyllis Hyman, who wanted to do the song, but Arista Records head Clive Davis would not allow her. The song then was offered to Donna Summer, who has stated she sat with it for a couple of years but never recorded it. Some months before Turner recorded the song, the British pop group Bucks Fizz were offered it. Member Jay Aston requested to sing lead on the track after hearing the demo, but was told by the producer that it was unsuitable for a female lead vocal. The group went on to record it in February 1984, but sung by male member Bobby G. Aston recalls the demo was very similar to the eventual Tina Turner version, but their finished version was in a very different style. It was intended for possible inclusion on their next album I Hear Talk but was shelved when Turner released her version first. The Bucks Fizz version went unreleased until it was included on a re-issue of their Are You Ready album in 2000. The Original Bucks Fizz included the song in their reunion concert tour in October 2009 Until the release of "What's Love Got to Do with It", Tina Turner had not had a US top-ten single since the early 1970s. The single went to number one[8] on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for three weeks, giving Turner her first and only solo number-one hit in the U.S. Turner was 44 when the song hit number one, at the time making her the oldest female solo artist to place a number-one single on the US Hot 100. In 1999, Cher, at age 53, became the oldest woman - solo or as part of a group - to have a US number-one hit, with her song "Believe". The song also spent five weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, from July 14 to August 18, 1984, "When Doves Cry", by Prince, being the reason it never reached its number-one spot. At the end of the year, the song was ranked the second-best-performing song of 1984 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100, behind the aforementioned "When Doves Cry". Worldwide, the song did well on the music charts, reaching number one in Australia and Canada. It peaked at number three in New Zealand and on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her highest-charting single on the latter chart alongside "River Deep - Mountain High" and "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)". Elsewhere, the song reached the top 10 in many European countries, including the top 5 in Ireland, Sweden, and Austria. It also reached number two in South Africa.

She was the GOAT among female artists

Brad is so stoic and lex is so smiley and excitable, the combination is immense. These two people will make a fantastically robust child

"What's Love Got to do with it" is that you have a choice to get involved and if getting involved causes a broken heart, she'd rather not. Tina was such a gr8 dancer, the best legs in the business and her singing was superb. Tina went through a lot of physical violence with her ex- Ike Turner and she's just singing about being cautious in future encounters. But Tina found love again, she remarried; they live in Sweden & except for some health issues she has, she is doing gr8 now. "Better Be Good to Me" is another awesome Tina T. song.

Brad she had the best legs ever as you can see , her voice and legs! I saw her live twice and it was very memorable , enjoy the rest of her amazing songs .

It’s about the fear of commitment when falling for someone after getting your heart broken and not wanting to go through to again. The whole disillusionment of love after heart break and retrying to stay safe. “I’m not falling for that love thing again, I am gonna stay safely in the it’s just physical attraction!” Mind sett

What a great double act you are- Brad focuses on what the meaning of the song is and Lex enters the vibe to get the feel for the song.

Hi Brad& Lex.... Lex has a good point about Tina's voice ; Tine sings with a very raspy.... jazz like sound in her throat . The lyrics are about a broken relationship from Ike Tuner her ex husband . There is a movie with Tina Tuner in it "What's Love Got To Do With It"~ 1993 . I really enjoyed both of your reactions for this song . A fun fact : In 1994 Tina Tuner had her legs insured for 3.2 Million dollars .

Tina Turner has a presence that can’t be taught. She commands attention, it’s palpable and 100% natural.

Lex nailed the theme. It’s a response to all the love songs. Dig it!

You can never go wrong with Tina.

I was a teenager when this song was released and loved it,she also has many other great songs.🎵👍

In the first verse she tells you what 'it' is. It's how she responds to the touch of his hand, his nearness. I think the song is about talking herself out of falling in love again by telling herself it's just attraction, not love.

a legend .... Freaking legend ... Those legs too lol
