The bruise, the voice black and blue fear who steered the star in the sea of entertainment Why do they the man the choice the boss the voice the demon claim the sleeve the hips the neck the eye of the hopeful she leaves him behind she was lost he is lost without her she sings “What’s love got to do with it…” in her case the matter’s embraced the brace of victimhood shed like a snake, such was Ike the devil personified who beats a star!!! forget him…it she is IT! the real thing Tina’s burning her hips churning short skirt quaking no longer afraid not fretting not dreading so alive….so alive….so alive before she was dead her music lives on living the dream Tina shines

Really good stuff here Kim. Tina was indeed a great star. Most of her songs seemed to be about her life with Ike. He was brutal to her though she loved him. He made her a star but I think he feared her because he could see she outshone him. In the end they both got what they deserved. Bravo. Good Luck in the contest. God Bless, JB

Thank you, Judy! Jealousy and pride lead to worse things. Thankfully Tina survived and in a big way!
