Beyoncé and Tina - Ouch!

So, this may seem like an odd post for an 80s music blog, considering Beyoncé is popular now, and Tina Turner is - well - legendary.  However, Tina had a huge comeback in the 80s.  Her album Private Dancer, released in 1984, sold millions of copies.  I absolutely loved that album.  Had it on cassette tape and probably wore it out listening to every track.  "What's Love Got to Do With It" is probably the biggest hit from the album, but my favorite is definitely the title track.  I can hear the bridge right now..."Deutch marks or dollars, American Express will do nicely, thank you.  Let me loosen up your collar, tell me, do-you-want-to-see-me-do-the shimmy again? Uhhhhhhh."  That last extended "uh" reminds me a bit of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby."

Anyway, Tina has had an illustrious career, so I'm not surprised that there are many videos with her on YouTube.  I particularly like to see the tribute videos, and I came across one from the 2008 Grammys where she and Beyoncé performed together.  At about 4:45 minutes into the performance, Beyoncé stepped on Tina's foot.  Ouch.  I wish I could say "I feel her pain," but I bet it was worse than anytime I have had my foot stepped on.  Heels are dangerous.  I wonder if the duo will perform again.  I bet Tina will wear boots...
