The Grammys are known for their double-take worthy pairings, but sometimes the groupings aren’t so much WTF as just a nice and easy no-brainer.
Case in point: When Beyonce and Tina Turner took the stage together at the 2008 ceremony. Beyonce gave a sultry intro with a little jazzed up “Crazy in Love” before the two divas joined together for a high-energy run through of “Proud Mary.”
UPDATE: Beyonce to Perform in Grammys ‘Selma’ Tribute?
Beyonce has been all over the Grammy stage for years (as if you could possibly forget last year’s “Drunk In Love” — CBS’ censors surely didn’t!). But while her individual performances are already great, the real treats are Bey with some of her obvious idols. Unfortunate side note: Her 2004 duet with Prince is pretty much scrubbed from the Internet.
