Patti LaBelle paid tribute to the Queen of Rock, Tina Turner, with a performance at the BET Awards on Sunday night. LaBelle took the stage in a shimmery, black fringe dress and sang a lively rendition of Turner’s classic “The Best.”
“Give it up for Tina Turner,” LaBelle said at the start of the performance.
However, even the best stumble a bit sometimes. At one point during the performance, LaBelle experienced a technical issue with the show’s teleprompter and flubbed some of the song’s lyrics.
“I’m trying y’all,” she told the studio audience as she briefly improvised.
LaBelle’s performance was one of many tributes to hip-hop’s most significant moments at the BET Awards. Other performers included Bia, Coi Leray, Cutty Ranks, Fat Joe, Soulja Boy, and The Sugarhill Gang.
Turner died at her home in Switzerland in May after a long illness. She was 81 years old. Throughout her career, Turner was known for her incredible voice, her sexy dance moves, and her resilience. She overcame a difficult childhood and an abusive marriage to become one of the most successful and influential artists of all time.
Turner’s legacy will live on for generations to come. Her music continues to inspire and entertain people all over the world. Her story is a reminder that anything is possible if you never give up on your dreams.
