The singer and actress was handpicked by Showtime Australia director, John Van Grinsven, to tackle Turner’s trademark growls, grunts and raspy vocals on stage.
“Tina is not like a lot of other performers out there. She really puts on a show when she's on stage, so when one tries to emulate her, you have to make sure you study her down to the tee,” explains Borole.
