Beyoncé's Possibly-Lip-Synched Grammy Song / What's Love Got to Do With It? / Better Be Good To Me / Proud Mary

Beyoncé opens with a tuneless number about how as a little girl she dreamt about being on the Grammys. She appears to be lip-synching. That's as good as irony gets. Tina Turner follows with two killer versions of two killer songs—keeping time with three dancers who could be her granddaughters—before summoning Beyoncé for a duet of Proud Mary. Beyoncé looks a little scared. To be fair, Turner is a soul singer while Beyoncé does pop, but Turner makes her look like a back up singer. Someone might want to sign this Tina person to a record deal.
