Can't say i care that much for Sheryl but i used to like some of her songs, so in that respect i can like her in ISOLATION of Stevie

However, I don't think imitation is flattery here
You can't imitate perfection hon!

I don't think she's trying to imitate Stevie, I think she's trying to make her new album look as good as possible because the actual content of it is atrocious. As a big Sheryl fan, I never thought I'd hear such a horrific excuse for an album from her.

Besides, It's perfectly normal behavior between friends to hold each other very very very close for photo ops at award shows....sure...women lock themselves into hotel rooms for days on end....of course friends have little lover spats in public all the time---and then after they are no longer speaking to rip off your old friends concept for the cover of your new CD by inverting the color scheme--- yep, yep, wouldn't want to overstate.....

I really like Sheryl Crow and think she is very beautiful but when she was on Overhaulin' with Lance she had NO make up on at all. She had tons of bags and wrinkly skin. So yes I think that picture of her is photo shopped A LOT.

EDIT~ I just wanted to add that I like Sheryl's picture way more than Stevie's.

Well, since you brought it up.....perhaps they were. Seems to be a lot of rumors to that effect floating around. They did seem to spend an awful lot of time together during "TISL," showing up at each other's concerts, benefits and impromptu gigs.

How about their duet of "You're Not the One" -- to each other after a tiff, perhaps?

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear that. I had high hopes. What's it like?

Syrupy sweet ballads and midtempo tracks that all sound alike. Out of the whole album, there's only one rocker ("Live It Up") and it's still more of a sunny pop song than anything else. The lyrics are what makes it a truly horrendous affair, though; they have none of her trademark wit or observations of society. Instead, she drones on about newfound love as if Diane Warren took her over a la "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." It's an embarrassment through and through.

INVASION OF THE SHERYL CROW THREADS!! PLEASE MAKE THEM STOP :p .
Ha ha Stevie and Sheryl lovers?...in our dreams (for Stevie to be in love with a woman, that is).

I highly doubt she's obsessed with Stevie. According to Stevie's last interview with Jim Ladd I got the impression she wasn't even returning her calls and Stevie even said something to the affect of "Sheryl if you're out there call me". I think she's in Lance land and not caring too much about Stevie right now.

If Sheryl is trying to imitate Stevie, she really shouldn't. There is just no comparision. Look at Stevie's eyes in this shot - she is commanding, powerful, strong. The background has strong, vibrant colors with beautiful, meaningful images and extensive detail. This shot is spiritual and one of her best IMO. It really captures Stevie's essence.

On the other hand Sheryl is just sitting there was a pretty little smile on her face with some drawings in the background. At least if she was trying to imitate Stevie she could have come up with something slighly more creative. Very unimpressive IMO. This is like comparing a girl and a woman.

Take a minute to actually look at each of the photos. Thematically, they couldn't be any more different. They aren't just "some drawings in the background," they're obviously meant to represent a transition from living in darkness to moving on and living in light and happiness.

In no way is she trying to imitate Stevie, that's ludicrous.

Yikes. So, it's like another C'mon C'mon but with less rocking songs? Hmmmm....this isn't sounding so good. I'm wondering too, if her "trademark wit" wasn't really just a product of Jeff Trott? When she goes it alone the lyric content isn't as sharp.

I don't know, I thought C'mon C'mon had some very sharp lyrical content hidden behind all of the schmaltz. And tracks like "It's Only Love" and "Weather Channel" were so breathtakingly amazing that they overshadowed crap like "It's So Easy" and "Over You."

"Live It Up" is a shameful rip-off of "There Goes the Neighborhood," wait until you hear it, and "Good Is Good" steals from Bowie. :nod: She just has no edge on this new record. It's boring.

I didn't say she was trying to imitate Stevie, I said if she is trying. Isn't that the point of this entire thread? (the person who started it used this as an example of Sheryl being obsessed so I'm assuming he meant to compare the 2 images). I could care less to be honest if she was or wasn't. Also, I probably did underestimate the representation of the artwork by calling them "some drawings in the background" but I can't help it. I really dislike Sheryl Crow so it's hard for me to be objective, especially when being compared to Stevie :).

I find a lot of women attractive who are not classic beauties - Sheryl is just not one of them. She does indeed have moments where she looks o.k. but in general I'm not a fan of her looks or music.

I agree, Stevie is not a classic beauty but she has so many other things about her that are attractive so that makes her beautiful to me.

She didn't try to tap into Stevie's fanbase to be "successful", she did it to try to get a "loyal fanbase".. there's a distinct difference between the two..

Sheryl can sell 12 cups of lemonade for $.35, while Stevie would struggle to sell 2 cups... that isn't the point..

but Stevie has that mystical quality that Sheryl simply does not have... Sheryl has fans, yes... but are they the type of fans who will travel from New York to Las Vegas to see 1 concert? nahh.. are they the type of fans who who will follow her around on tour from city to city? nahh..

What is the big deal with playing big venues? Maybe she prefers not to? Speaking as someone who has seen her at a very small intimate venue I have to say I prefered it that way.

And I still say she has very loyal fans...at least she is performing over here in the UK. Same can't be said for Stevie :( It isn't just about what's happening in the US you know ;)

I do prefer that as well... however, this is a business. Do you honestly believe that Sheryl doesn't perform at the big venues because she simply "doesn't want to"? If there was a market for a large venue Sheryl Crow tour, don't you think her people would be all over that? The fact of the matter is, there simply is not. And i find that very odd, considering how many records she sells...

At the height of Stevie's record sales and popularity, she was playing those venues. 20 years later and 20 years without a hit, she's STILL playing them. So we have an "in-her-prime Stevie Nicks" selling out large venues and a "20-years out-of-her-prime Stevie Nicks" selling out large venues. Yet we don't have an "in-her-prime Sheryl Crow" doing that and she sells and has OUTSOLD Stevie by millions and millions of records... what's wrong with this picture? hmmmm..

At the height of Stevie's record sales and popularity, she was playing those venues. 20 years later and 20 years without a hit, she's STILL playing them. So we have an "in-her-prime Stevie Nicks" selling out large venues and a "20-years out-of-her-prime Stevie Nicks" selling out large venues. Yet we don't have an "in-her-prime Sheryl Crow" doing that and she sells and has OUTSOLD Stevie by millions and millions of records... what's wrong with this picture? hmmmm..
That's true for the US.... Stevie couldn't outsell anything outside of the US unfortunately, which I'm sure is why she doesn't come here :(

BTW... does Stevie always outsell the venues? What are the figures?

I do prefer that as well... however, this is a business. Do you honestly believe that Sheryl doesn't perform at the big venues because she simply "doesn't want to"? If there was a market for a large venue Sheryl Crow tour, don't you think her people would be all over that? The fact of the matter is, there simply is not. And i find that very odd, considering how many records she sells...

I'm sure you're right. Maybe she isn't as hungry for the touring as Stevie is. Who knows? But I don't think we can determine someone 'popularity' by the size of venues they play in.

I'm sure any similaritie's people may find between the two images are purely coincidental. But these "Stevie is a lesbian and doing every woman she lays her hands on" rumors are a real beating and make gay people look bad.

I could not agree more. You would think Stevie has never been with a man! Can't the woman have a female friend without it being some lesbian love affair? Sheesh. It could not be more obvious that both she and Sheryl have always been into men...lots and lots of MEN. (besides..in the other thread..Stevie's real lover was Lori..so was she cheating on Lori with Sheryl??? Ridiculous)

I felt the need to reply to this. Stevie and Sheryl are good friends, Stevie and FM were a huge MUSICAL influence on Sheryl, Sheryl is one lucky girl to be close to Stevie like that ( god it makes me jealous-LOL) and IMO I don't think Sheryl is obsessed with or trying to copy Stevie, maybe they have the same tastes in style-who knows?

Aprt from sitting cross legged I don't think they are the same at all. :shrug:

I don't think so either.
There is a track on the new album (which I like very much by the way) called I Don't Wanna Know. Make of that what you will...
