London, Mar 24 Singer Stevie Nicks is a big fan of The Weeknd but thinks he needs to clean up his lyrics.

The 68-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer is a big fan of the "Starboy" hitmaker but wishes the words to his songs weren't so "super dirty", reported Femalefirst.

"I've been listening to The Weeknd's records. I play them one after the other when I'm in my bathroom, getting ready to go out, or just hanging out with myself," Nicks says.

"He's brilliant. And his voice - he could have come straight out of 1975 - he could have been like Stevie Winwood. He's over-talented.

"But if I were to meet him, I would probably say, 'You say over and over again words that I would prefer you didn't say. I think they're unnecessary. However, even though I think a lot of your songs are super-dirty, I still really like them. So I've given you a pass on that.'"

Isn't this just an excerpt taken from the last interview with Q Magazine?

Is it? If so, apologies

It pretty much is, but no need to apologize. You might get a valid discussion.

I like in the end she basically says, he's allowed to swear because she likes his music so much.

Which I thought was a cool way to say it.

I thought it was a pretty cool way of her to say that, as well

I like his music, too. Not at all my genre of choice but it gets me movin..

It's funny how music that is normally not in your genre can appeal to you.
Case example: I HATED the Jonas Brothers.
But I LOVE Nick Jonas' solo stuff.
I like his vocal range, rasp and have purchased all Nick Jonas' solo albums, starting with a blues inspired album he did with Prince's old band before he ditched Disney.
I think he gets A LOT of crap for his stint with Disney, the same way Timberlake did at first.
I NEVER in a million years thought I'd support anything Jonas related!
He's a pretty good actor too. His show "Kingdom" is a terrific ensemble show and his character is very well written and he does a great job in it.

The Weeknd is one of the few artists in his genre that I enjoy. His music always has a good sense of melody and the lyrics are clever, kind of crude, but clever. The Hills for example is such a fantastic song.
