Nobody else like her, I remember when I first saw one of her live performances I was completely blown away, legendary woman!

[jszmiles]

no one has ever recorded such powerful Bond Theme!

I have never been a huge fan, but her music's been somewhere around all my lifetime, listening from time to time. True artist that will never be forgotten

RiP

I was actually on a work call when I got the BBC Breaking News alert. This is tremendously sad. I have such great memories tied to her music.

I have her catalogue on shuffle on Spotify, what a brilliant talent she was - currently listening to Till The Right Man Comes Along, sounds like something that Chaka Khan would record, brilliant record.

That one's actually my most-played Tina song.

RIP Queen

It's unbelievable that in less than 15yrs, we've lost Aretha,MJ, George Michael,Tina,Prince,Whitney,Amy,Etta, Bowie,Donna,Robin Gibb,Kenny Rogers,DMX, Harry Belafonte... Old age or not,I wish some people would just live forever

R.i.p. to an icon

[Tansike]

So unexpected. Truly shocked. May she rest in peace!

[JimJim]

She was truly an icon, a such a vibrant performer.

This might seem a little strange, but there's a dance called The Nutbush to her song Nutbush City Limits, that literally everyone in Australia knows. You learn it in school and do this dance at every wedding.

[Phoenixx]

Anyone else listening to her music?

Done this yesterday.

Glad Celine has said something about Tina, she was hugely influenced by her.

[SilentDream]

This really came out of nowhere! RIP Tina, a truly legendary and iconic artist in many ways.

Blessedly they will - that’s the power of music.

Tina commanded the stage and gave her all to her audience. A legendary performer. RIP.

I love re-watching her old tours and yesterday, I plunged into her wikipage for hours and checked out her tours... and some of her tours had like over 100 concerts just in Europe. This is amazing. When she was on tour or did a tour, her tours were sooo incredibly full with dates, never under 100 concerts. The woman worked so hard for everything. Many of her tours had like 150-200 concerts. It's mindblowing.

Even at 70... her last tour had like 150 concerts. Think about it.... and Tina is like dancing like Beyoncé... she's not sitting on a piano or sth... Tina did a full on 2hrs hardcore gym workout in front of 100,000 people.

This made me so emotional... imagining how exactly that must've played out, with Tina at first being a bit hesitant and then it is girlfriend talk and all giggles. I love Cher's and Tina's friendship... they were so sweet together...
