tbh i don't think christine was never really known for her deep lyrics, i always thought her lyrics were like a hallmark card. her 'thing' was her catchy pop sensibility. but as much as i love her, stevie has had pleeeeeenty of dud lyrics herself. and idk about you but i don't consider releasing an album of several decode old demos reworked to be a "bold move" lol.

I didn't know this was a thread about Christine vs Stevie. Isn't there plenty of arguing on all that on the "Rumours" board already?

Wink Shh!

https://youtu.be/xbJOfN0zEeM I think it's sweet of Harry Styles to invite Stevie to his show. He's adorable, and I posted this to show her fancy old school pants lol. She sang 3 songs.."Two Ghosts", "Landslide, and Leather and Lace". Go Stevie! Younger generations love her, and that always makes me happy!

that's true but that song isn't what i think of for "typical christine". when i think of like 'typical christine' i think "tell me lies tell me sweet little lies oh no no you can't disguise" "you look at me and i just melt" "say you love me falling falling falling" "honey honey honey what's sweeter than you" that's how i always think of her lyrics-- cute little, greeting card-esque rhymes to a catchy beat. so talking about being the honey in your tea is just typical christine for me.

Harry Styles Bridges Past and Present at Stirring Tour Kickoff Show
Singer-songwriter treated an adoring San Francisco crowd to a skillful blend of solo favorites and One Direction classics


Outside San Francisco's Masonic, a modest but modern venue nestled in the city's upscale Nob Hill neighborhood, thousands of Harry Styles fans had spent hours – some, even days – waiting on the steep sidewalks. The mob would feel smaller inside the venue, during a show that was the most intimate many of them had ever seen the boy-band heartthrob play.

It was more than the screams that made Styles' first official tour date as a solo artist feel like he was playing to a football stadium rather than a theater. At 23 years old and with only 10 songs to his name, Styles has the charm, presence and feistiness of a veteran rocker twice his age, strutting and strumming across the stage with a delicate power that makes him seem as accessible as he is otherworldly.

Styles and his carefully curated band took the stage Tuesday night after Muna, a California electro-pop trio that brought the house down with a one-two punch of Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" and their own "I Know a Place." Lead singer Katie Gavin set the tone for the night, building upon the joyous mood of the crowd. "Harry has built his career, his essence, on kindness," she earnestly said to deafening screams.

After a brief delay due to a fire alarm that dared to shut the whole night down, Styles finally made his grand entrance to a loop of the "Ever Since New York" harmonies, already intoxicating on his self-titled debut album but nearly hypnotic as the lights dimmed to reveal his guitar-holding silhouette on the pink-and-floral curtain that was hung after Muna left the stage. Here, we were introduced to Harry's first persona of the night: folk troubadour. From "New York" on, he displayed his most tender, rootsy side, performing more album ballad cuts like "Two Ghosts" and "Sweet Creature" – the latter met with a sea of fan-made pink hearts that were held up throughout the song. Much earlier than anticipated, Styles reminded everyone exactly where he came from, offering a tender take on the anthemic One Direction fan favorite "Stockholm Syndrome."

Following "Sweet Creature," Styles disposed of his floral jacket – part of a matching, two-piece floral suit – and launched into Act II: raucous rocker. A Jagger-ian strut propelled his body across the stage during "Only Angel," and he gyrated to the sexy "Woman." During that same track, a fan threw a rainbow flag on stage, and in direct opposition to the song's heteronormative storyline, he subversively twirled around with it before attaching it to his microphone where it remained for the rest of the main set.

By this point, Styles had completely loosened up, shedding the semi-serious (possibly even nervous) mode of his set's first half. He began to perform a few covers, a twist that was as crowd-pleasing as it was brilliant. He first tackled "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart," a piano ballad he co-wrote that Ariana Grande sung on her 2014 album My Everything. He turned Grande's melodrama on its head, remaking the tearjerker as a down-and-dirty country-rock romp. He did the same with One Direction's massive, unmistakable breakout hit "What Makes You Beautiful," a bold choice for an artist setting out to forge his own path.

But Styles has proven time and time again that to be a successful solo artist, you don't necessarily have to let go or even erase your past. As soon as "WMYB" ended, the band launched into the gritty, glammy "Kiwi" which got an even bigger rise from the crowd than the 1D classic did.

Once the song wrapped, Styles marched off the stage with the rainbow flag as the set was re-arranged and his jacket was revived for the "encore." It was here that he unveiled his third act and his final persona: the subtle superstar. The show's final 15 minutes featured a tight trio of tracks, beginning with "From the Dining Table," a gorgeous, simple guitar tune featured only Styles and primary collaborator Mitch Rowland on guitar. Next, he launched into an incredible take on Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" as he celebrated and highlighted the talented quartet of musicians he culled together for his touring band. He could've ended the show with the classic cover and it would've felt completely natural, charming and on-brand, but of course he had an appropriately epic goodbye up his sleeve with "Sign of the Times," the single that officially launched his solo career. Styles' live version of the anthemic, Queen-inspired, nearly six-minute opus was stirring and triumphant as bright lights bathed him and his fans. The singer looked positively radiant as he shared in this moment, one that rightfully belonged to him, with every person in the room, whether physically present or being FaceTimed, Periscoped or live-texted in.

"You are the best friends any person could ever ask for," he offered sincerely, much earlier in the night. Blurring the lines of fans and friends is not typical rock star behavior, but then again, Harry Styles isn't shaping up to be your typical rock star.

Set List:
"Ever Since New York"
"Two Ghosts"
"Carolina"
"Stockholm Syndrome" (One Direction cover)

Unhappy

I honestly prefer Nick Jonas over Harry Styles. Nick's new song " Find you" is terrific. I'd absolutely love it if Stevie recorded a duet with him. I can dream. Lol

May 19, 2017 (When I see a pic like this, with the audience holding up their phones and filming, I try to imagine if only we had this technology in the 1970's. We would have so many Live Rhiannon's to enjoy from every angle. I hope & pray all the time for all the Tusk Rhiannon's to fall in my lap one day, even if they're just audio recordings.)
