Fefe Dobson as Tina Turner on American Dreams

[KayceeSparks]

Fefe is great as Tina! she captures the raw passion and vibrant energy Tina has in her performances.

[KayceeSparks]

Do you have Kelly Rowland singing Dancing in the Street on the show?

[betogarofalobr]

terrible

[theturners71]

Abysmal. This is the worst portrayal of Tina I have ever seen! I would hate for people of this generation to think that this is how she really performed in the 60s. So awful...

[victorbanner]

i went to school with this girl

[rockinrobintweets]

A great tribute. NO ONE is going to be the orgianal singer / performer THAT S simply imposable. But I can say each performer that protraier a legendary singer on American Dreams did so with a lot of respect and that s worth a LOT. I loved this show and the time period it was set in. Not just the Beatles but Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys, Ike and Tina, Dianna Ross,, so many amazeing singers and great talents, ...it s like being homesick, you miss it that much

[ricoafterdark]

i dont like it all .. that was not any tina turner ive ever seen..and im a huge huge fan.. sorry .please take it down...

[mjjcng8958]

fefe is singin this song

[abrown2015]

wow but fefe and tina turner are similar in many ways !!! to they both love rock and roll !!!

[happymike44]

The show was a tribute to our past history.

It was supposed to be the singers tribute to that artist.

I think she did a really good job and sorry but I like her.

[compnetworks]

thatz how tina performed back then and now. if fefe didn't portray tina well enough then the director or producers of the show would have given the role to someone else. there have been other artists that came on the show and portrayed the given legendary role of an 60s artist but they didn't sound or performed exactly like them.

[neonmoon82]

She looks and sounds nothing like Tina but she still gives an excellent performance.

[NiymbleFingers]

I like this impersonation. Though Fefe doesn't have the vocal power for this kind of stuff. Nice though.

[josbo51715]

This is so whack! She looks or sound nothing like Tina Turner. This sounds more like the Celine Dion version.

[speakurmind21]

@josbo51715 this is the way the song was originally the ike and tina revamped the song and gave it a rock sound...

[dancingbugg]

that's how tina performed back in the day ppl. research!

[theturners71]

@dancingbugg It most certainly is NOT how Tina performed back in the day! Not at all...

[soulsista1220]

Shake them fringes, girl!!!

[93spoonyg]

Tina is the originator, if anything i would rather have them put Angela Bassett do it... AGAIN. FeFe tried way too hard

[ShezStillViva]

Let Me See Any Of U Hatein Tricks Try & Do It.

& Man I Miss Fefe.ca.com I Use To Get On It When I Was Like 8

Shes Come A Long Way. Bow Down Haters

[YTLOVER02]

FEFE ROCKS!!!!!

[merediths07]

i completely forgot she guest starred on this show!

[Phyre702]

FeFe worked this song out!

[deejzilla]

Wow.

This is amazing.

Can't wait for Joy.

[TheDangergirl35]

wow angela bassett was better way better

[deltarem94]

the worse tiny tuner i ever seen.

[bu11com]

Nicola Roberts sang it better!

[brandonmachew3204]

@bu11com Better than Tina Turner or Fefe?

[tendanate30]

love..great song and voice

[PierreProdInc]

didn't know fefe did the tina turner.. she's good with the impersonation.

[Viruspirate]

she sings it better than tina

[93spoonyg]

@Viruspirate WTF??!?! HOW?!?!?!

[LiquidDreams07]

Oh my GOD This girl is no Tina Turner, a drag queen can do better than this performance! Tina Turner does not move around like that on stage, well don't get me wrong she has a lot of energy but just the movements that this girl did for this song is nothing compared to the real deal. A TOTAL SHAME IF YOU ASK ME!!!!

[tendanate30]

@LiquidDreams07

shut up

[jesus919]

Fefe has a talent 2nd to none. Saw her for the

1st on the Rock and Roll Induction and she

was fantastic, too bad it was thru the credits

she is so good her talent shined past all that

good luck Fefe great job!

[figlet]

This is was my favorite musical performance of all 3 seasons of American Dreams. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[jaga185]

@figlet no problem, i'm just happy people are able to see it!

[Fefefan]

VERY true to older Tina Turner performances, if you look bad at similar performances. She channeled her amazingly!!

[lildanial555]

Why thte hell is there always a comparison of artist on EVERY youtube video. Not only are ya'll bickering for no good cause, but your demeaning the artist themselves. If you really liked the artist you would respect their talent and support them instead of bashing them for doing something their manager or video director told them to do or try. Peopl eact like famous people don't have stylist and everything else under the sun. Anyway, I loved this performance from Fefe Dobson.

[ksha]

she did a ok job

[taj1587]

She's trying too hard

[5posen]

i don't mean any offence, for i've never really watched tina turner nor fefe dobson performed , but this performance kinda scared me..... like.. the way she moved and her facial expressions.. quite frightened me.

[jonoconner1]

she does a really raelly good job

but no one can do Tina as good as Angela Bassett

[nellie2581]

That's so cute. Never saw the show but it sounds great!

[HowPoetic]

LOVE IT! <3

[DamoneIsLegend]

I don't like FeFe as Tina. She seems to be making Tina into a charicature, as opposed to a real performer....hmmmm, not my favorite. Angela Bassett was AMAZING in the movie!

[LoverszObama]

lmaaaaaaoo , fefe went to my school in toronto , its called Fleming Public School

[FaithImaniroxs]

wow that's cool in your class or what? Please

[gos11387]

Wow..Tina turner is a hard one to copy... I wonder if the producers had a hard time casting her here.... but fefe her does her justice I think!

[TaintedPurelovers]

ALL OF YOU SUCK IT!! god and BTFW Rihanna is only famouse becaus eof er looks and accent so suck it!

[carmenkaylynne]

lol kay

[xcheesecakequeen]

she sounds good!!!!

[fckinhawt01]

it doesnt matter if rihanna copied fefe dobson or not because the fact remains that rihanna is more famous, successful and popular than ''what's her name''

[nanacakes3]

y dont u go suck rihanna than thts y she got her ass kicked

[aGwEENapple]

lol, what's "done in the dark, comes to the light"

And when you steal " you reap what you sow"

Fefe can sit back and watch Rihanna if she wants. They're both people of course, but in my eyes, Fefe is innocent in this case.

But Rihanna's team and, possibly Rihanna herself will see their dream crumble

They're all a great big lie

...Oh yeah, Fefe's A GREAT chunk of more talent than Rihanna ever was.

She's not even a skank.

[owl1210]

she did a great job and she may not sound like tina, tina's voice was deeper. i love fefes voice!

[nomoreiloveyou]

omg i've heard the original version with tina turner! and yes, it's good! but i love fefe's version more! to everyone who thinks they're opinion is right and everyone else's is wrong, i'm not saying it's better, just that i enjoy fefe's more!

[Norb0x]

I looove Fefe

[mistabigg007]

I luv FeFe but uh... Her voice aint as strong as Tina's and you can tell from this song.. lol nice try tho

[uncoverbrother]

no ma'm. but damn i miss that show. it was so great

[FM897]

she's pretty damn good

[YungDaze402]

she sound good

[Xskatergirl13X]

THANK YOU!!!

I really like this sing and it sounds amazing =]

[Xskatergirl13X]

what song is she singing?

[mrspage09]

The song she is singing is called "River Deep Mountain High".

[Merrida100]

\> cont'd from below. She's young enough, if she really wants to pursue this, with a voice coach who'll be respectful of her wanting to sound like Tina and help her do so, she'll come far. Most teachers try to coax out the natural voice at least at first. But, she's established,...she has more pro's than con's.

[Merrida100]

Yeah I think Tina did move sort of like this, some of these are her signature moves and she does them also to Proud Mary. She has classic stances, arm moves, and shimmies unique to her flourishing movements. That's what most impersonators can't do. The voice comes easier but not the aura that is Tina.

That being said, I do think for when this song came out it was prior to heavy fringe years (she wore sweaters and longer skirts and long straight hair. But Fefe sure has the voice, IF she

[rasputin63]

Fefe's impression is not overstated. Tina really did act like this in the 60's. Although Tina didn't wear the 20's flapper dress in the late-60's. That look came later.

[happymike44]

Tina wore clothes like this in the 60's and was a really wild kind of performer.

When she started she couldn't walk through the front door of many places.

Even now Tina puts on one heck of a show in person.

[violetcloud]

i think she captured tina's attitude better than some other singers out there, even if her impression is overstated (but face it, tina really does act like that, people! and we love her for it)

i wish i could get a full version of her singing this song.

[HowPoetic]

is it possible to download this version of the song?

[weirdandkindacool]

the singing is great. the acting may be a bit too much though. i think tina looked a little bit better than that. just sayin'.

[RyeLady99]

What the heck is she doing. It's like she's impersonating a robot

[hyst3ricglamour]

dang she can SING.

[HowPoetic]

FEFE DOBSON IS THE ULTIMATE SHIZZ!!! lol she's amazing. . .<3

[tuchesuavae]

she did a great job.

[MusicMAAD]

I LOVE Fefe Dobson! ^-^

[HowPoetic]

whatever happened to this show? I mean, it was wonderful. Fefe's wonderful in this!! she did a awesome job as Tina!!

[yeadime]

this is my favorite tina turner song

[datickywickygurl]

LUV u fefe!

[BackStreetAngel14]

over done

[yeadime]

tina over does it everytime

[RyeLady99]

THANK YOU!! Finally someone notices. She is horrible as tina turner. And she's waaay too young to be Tina.

I can't beleive they aired this performance

[BackStreetAngel14]

Yeah I know

If the real Tina acted that way she would be the butt of every joke

[blkicequeen]

i so agree...she was over dramatic and no soul for this.

[kriskross21]

I definetly think they could have picked someone way better to play Tina for the show!

[meretteschipettes]

ugh haters im pretty sure if you did a bad performance im pretty sure you wouldn't want noone talking about you so ok...

[VolumeSearcher]

Mya, Chilli from TLC, Mary J. Blige or Beyonce come to mind. Fefe was only 18 when she played this part and looked much younger. She also doesn't have the raw voice needed to convincingly pull of the portrayal convincingly.

[rjs5146]

they based the reenactments on the ACTUAL performances the artists performed on american bandstand. therefore, tina must've acted like this

[blkicequeen]

yeah but with people like tina turner with such character in their performances...it can easily turn into a bad impersonation which i believe this one is...she still has to be realistic. n e way.. i think Fefe sounded amazing on the song ..just a bad performance =)

[dadevi]

What? No Ike?! No abusive bastard on bass?

[rwmusic]

"River Deep, Mountain High" was produced by Phil Specter, Ike had nothing to do with it.. well, other than to 'allow' Tina, if you will, to work with Phil Specter.

[dadevi]

I'm talking about live performances. Not in the recording studio. Ike was always there playing in the background.

[rwmusic]

That's what i'm saying.. Ike had absolutely nothing to do with this song, so he wouldn't be there. While "Ike and Tina" did later do their own version of it together, this version was only Tina Turner, no Ike at all.

[mskrys419]

DINOSAUR! at 1:22

lolz i LOVE Fefe

[clsimpson19]

what is this from

?

[mskrys419]

American Dreams...it was a TV show from 2002-2005 set in the 60s with American Bandstand and they had celebrities and singers play 60s singers

[TragicSorrows]

Really?

So every episode had different characters then?

[mskrys419]

yeah there was different characters in each...just look on the side at the other characters

[nigel1242001]

shes a better actress than singer.

[princesspink75]

fefe captured tina turner DOWN! she definitely did some studying b4 she did this show

[Markisha2u]

i &hearts; it!!!

[smtann]

this is hot...fefe better get it!!! lol

[leycorbin4ever]

What? is this a nasty comment?

[AmandaMewa]

I never heard of this show. Yea Fefe did good though cuz Tina is dramatic! Lol she sounds great!

[KingdomKupcake]

U shud wastch it, ,its the BOMB!

[BrittneyDominique]

actually tina was very dramatic with her performances..

so its kinda accurate!

[vmlisaf09]

lol! she looked shock or she either got shocked. I dont think Tina is that stiff.. lol

[miaangel247]

1:23- 1:26..what in the hell was that?? lol look like she just got shockedXD

[mskrys419]

DINOSAUR!

[MBossMan1996]

this was ok not to good not too bad

[MagicalAl]

Fefe is talented!

[EliAhidet09]

what movie is this?

[ABCjen868]

American Dreams...it was a TV show from 2002-2005 set in the 60s with American Bandstand and they had celebrities and singers play 60s singers

[ambrosha14]

What is this from?

[ABCjen868]

American Dreams...it was a TV show from 2002-2005 set in the 60s with American Bandstand and they had celebrities and singers play 60s singers

[EcstaticRop]

Fefe did good loved this enthusiasm she gave love ya Fefe

[gregew6]

love it!

[rollerstud98]

whats the song called?

[bandb7]

"River Deep Mountain High"

[amssk8rgrl777]

IT's because the Feef is a rocker

[ferstday]

Of course there's only one Tina Turner. You guys are f*ckin' retards- if everyone compared them as stringently as you do, NO ONE would ever portray Tina Turner and no one would know that song exists, some 40 years after it was made.

Thumbs up to FD for taking that challenge on- I dig her take on the song and the show's recreation of Phil Spector's sound.

[harrygild]

This is no Tina Turner! Tina is 100% better

[marudell]

ugh, i like fefe but she ruined the song!

[ERGSEG]

this is terrible

[jagettainc]

Fefe has the dance moves down pat, but her voice is not up to the challenge. As much as it pains me to say it, Beyonce would have been better.

[nikkiemaus]

tina is and was crazy! fefe is awesome!!!

[BardleyCfan]

You are crazy. No know nothing about Tina

[leycorbin4ever]

Fefe did great!! No she was no Tina but she has to stick to her own style! she can never abandon that and her style is great. To those who didn't like her as Tina remember that!!

[trenchnurse]

Did Tina Turner really strut around like she was having a seizure? lmao BTW, Fefe was hot!

[ceravis]

*jaw drops*

oh.

mah.

waffles.

[windrix1]

D*** my ears and eyes are f****** bleeding!

[alicia1990]

wifey right there.

[laceyandskye]

haha fefe dobson was wikkid!! she is soo kool!!

[damianusaf]

yay fefe was awesome!

[teachupligg52]

Theres only one Tina Turner!!!

Never will be another Legendary Diva like her

[Trelle86]

She definately doesn't suit the role of Tina. Where in the hell did those stiff dance moves come from at 1:22. That was horrible. Voice isn't powerful enough. Fefe should have turned down this role or studied Tina closer to get the moves right.

[liljaymd2005]

i agree the dance isnt that good, but for fefe the voice was reallyu good

[SWEETDEE007]

thats how tina danced in her time

[BardleyCfan]

Tina never danced like that

[ScienceProjek]

Who Cares, Anyway?...If You Like It "You Like It" , If You Don't "You Don't"...Everyone Is Entitled To Their Own Opinion...I Liked It, Think Of It As Holloween...It's Not Really You, You're Just Having Fun!

[windrix1]

Totally

[LaughOutLoud98]

omg fefe did so good, i never wouldve thought that she would do something like this, aw im so proud of her.

[utap123]

omgooosh she looks sooo nice and she did suuuch a good job..daamn i loove it

[spektor86]

Thanks for uploading this. This is really cool! Fefe is Canadian. :)

[kekoaT]

LOL I LOVE HER VERSION OF THE SONG

[littlelotte86]

the celine dion version of this song is good too

[minidryhire]

i dont know why people are critising. She is doing a good job, besides Fefe is dircted to do that and dance like that. I think she is amazing and a great inspiring talent. before judging, you should try a little understanding first.

Fefe your awsome

[kedisha17]

i love fefe, but HELLLLLLLLLLLLL no. I mean she sounds fine but she doesnt suit the role of tina turner.

[ryansheila]

Tina Turner is better much better

long live the Queen of Rock !!

[steph2steph2008]

wat is da name of dis dong omg sum1 help me?

[ScienceProjek]

River Deep, Mountain High

[dragonfirestorm2002]

[liquid114]

I am not a fan of fefe but I LOVE this verison!!!! plus I Iove this show! i MISS it. I wonder if its available anywhere? LET ME WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD IT, IF U KNOW. THANX

[Nonetheless123]

Fefe did a good job

[gillianhenry]

Terrible nobody can sing like Tina. Tina is the best the Queen Diva, Beyonce would have done a better job.

[jmarti2006]

I don't think she moves like Tina, but I like her version and the song.

[buddykun]

i dont either but she did do a nice job. <3

[Koifish07]

abreena123: i agree...Tina looks NOTHING like that.

[negritabxtch]

ahh i love fefe she's awesome.

[abreena123]

she looks drunk as hell

[Hauraunah]

That guy she's talking to is an asshole. Ugly jerk. And she's stupid for dealing with him.

[sunshine69877]

she went thriller 1:24 lmaoo HORRIBLE TINA SHOULD BE MAD

[StillaVirgin]

i doubt this would bother Tina as much as you guys would think.

[spektor86]

I'm sure you could do soooo much better! That's why you're sitting at home, criticizing successful people. Get a life! Lol. I'm here enjoying this video, I don't need to come across your hater crap!

[xofa11enange1ox]

Loved It.

PS

people who argue on YouTube are lame.

[dividedcondition]

haha. seriously.

[aaront3000]

An insult to Tina...sorry

[princess899p]

we know LOL

[NkreesThaPEACE]

was this on a movie or a tv show or something? does anyone know what it's called????

[tomsorvolo17]

Is a tv show,it´s over now.
