Kanye says Beyonce is “greater than Tina Turner”... but he hasn’t seen this picture

<img alt="Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images" title="Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/0mf8eZ8s2CPV/photos/9f8204307d6fed6cf5dd8eb1fb877603/mr_4b3ac92be6d78c.jpg?ug_____DatieyyTB" align="left" height="253" width="400">Kanye West usually brags about himself, but recently he pronounced his extreme admiration for fellow star, Beyoncé. &quot;Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyoncé is a f---ing living legend,” he said. Later Kanye went so far as to claim Beyoncé “is just as great, if not greater, than artists we had in the past. She’s probably greater than Tina Turner.&quot;<br><br>While we think Beyoncé is perhaps one of the greatest contemporary singers and performers, she has a ways to go before she reaches Tina’s icon status. <br><br><img alt="Jezebel" title="Jezebel" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/0mf8eZ8s2CPV/photos/a9e4558612c0c64554b1921f347b449f/mr_b94311c39bad09.jpg?ug_____DNjV9hZXO" align="left" height="400" width="227">Also, clearly Kanye didn’t see this new photo of Tina on stage. Seriously... what the...?!

    Tina danced while she sang.. and was great at it (still is I suppose, I haven't seen her much lately)... Beyonce's talent is akin to a pole dancer/stripper. She shakes her ass and gyrates the way she does to distract you from the fact that her voice is marginal, at best. Kanye is just another loud mouthed, no talent rapper who thinks he's "ALL THAT". Why does his opinion even matter? One question for him: Would he spout that trash to Tina to her face? Bet not !

    Beyonce better than Tina Turner? Has he lost his mind??? Beyonce has a long, long, long, long way to go before she's better than Ms. Tina (as though that could ever happen). Kayne West should just stay quiet.

    God, wish I could just put him in a barrel and send him out to sea...never to be seen again. That guy is such an ugly person on the inside. I refuse to support anything he does. Not one humble bone in his body. He'll die alone because he'll have no real friends because he was such a freakin' prick to everyone he came in contact with. Every time he opes his mouth , I am embarassed.

    How about both Tina and Beyonce are great entertainers?

    Kanye can make whatever he comments he likes.

    As far as Tina's Mad Max in the Thunderdome outfit? Leave that back in the 80's/90's where it came from originally.

    I think Tina and Beyonce are both great at their craft! Kanye has always said how he feels and really that is his right... Let's all just stay tuned to see if Beyonce has the staying power that Tina has had for decades. Don't get me wrong I love Beyonce too, but if I had to attach the word legndary or icon or anything along those lines, it would be to Tina.
