Tina Turner: We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)

From the soundtrack of "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" comes this excellent song performed in an electrifying way by legendary Tina Turner and in the music video she appears exactly like she did in the movie, with the costumes, wig and all but instead of her villanous acts she simply performs the song as images from the film, Mel Gibson's character along with the whole gallery of characters are also presented. And the magnificent sax player comes make his awesome act during the solo bit.

It's a fine video, like many soundtrack videos that started to become frequent back in the 1980's and onwards - they don't make'em like these anymore - and it's real special quality is having Turner appearing on it as the character she played on the movie. That's something quite rare to happen in music videos specially if you consider that most musicians turned actor usually play musicians rather than extraordinary characters like the one she played in "Mad Max". It also works as an outstanding trailer showing the magical visuals of the world created by George Miller. And the song is a massive hit! 8/10 RIP Tina.

Tina Turner's music video for We Don't Need Another Hero was recorded for the soundtrack of the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which starred Mel Gibson and Tina Turner. In the video, she wears her Aunty Entity costume from the film. The video mainly features scenes from the movie, with Tina singing in the foreground.

While the early parts of the song sound as if Tina is holding back her breath and voice, the chorus is where she lets it all out-showcasing her truly incredible vocal power and charisma. Toward the end of the song, her singing becomes even more powerful and captivating. Her voice alone makes the track feel fresh, even though it was released nearly four decades ago-something that's easy to forget while watching the video.

I've heard Ghost's cover of the song, and while I really like it, Tina's original performance still holds its own-and arguably outshines newer versions. That's an incredible achievement and a testament to just how talented she truly was. Her voice is unforgettable and instantly recognizable-one of a kind.
