I watched The Voice in the UK for the first season and enjoyed it. I haven't watched it since as I got tired of the format. However, it is still very popular, and one of our music legends - Tom Jones, has been on it every season. I'm sure it's only been a good thing for his career. He has reached a whole new audience, and won the hearts of many new fans young and old, and he's 74. I know that some of these shows are quite tacky (I used to really hate them) but I can see their appeal, especially on long dark winter nights. I see absolutely nothing wrong or dismal about Stevie taking part. I'm glad that she doesn't see herself as above appearing on The Voice. I think she should just enjoy whatever she choses to do, and I'm sure many people on the show will enjoy her being there.

However, Stevie is joining the cast of a reality show this time- not just making a one-off appearance. That's what I'm not okay with. I think it could be mostly agreed around here that Steven Tyler resides in roughly the same echelon that Stevie does- lead singer of an iconic 1970s band. However, I definitely feel Steven has tainted the Aerosmith brand by becoming an American Idol judge. There's such a thing as too much exposure, especially if it starts eroding into your collective identity. Steven Tyler is no longer just an iconic rock star anymore- he's also a reality show host & judge. THAT cheapens his & his band's image. THAT'S why I'm not okay with Stevie doing this. She's supposed to be this mystical, elusive rock star... not a game show host.

Advisor
Stevie will not be a judge on The Voice, just an advisor to contestants like Michael Buble, Cher, Miranda Lambert, etc. did during their turns on the show. They give advice and support to the contestants on the show for the various judges. The advisors aren't really even on the show that much.
I wish she was working with Gwen Stefani instead of Adam, but whatev.

I have somewhat mixed feelings about Stevie being on The Voice. But they aren't mixed too much. Regardless of my feelings on any of these shows - DWTS, AI, The Voice, AGT, Grammies, CMAs, etc, they get huge ratings as whole. They are truly on the edge of the coveted audience of advertisers.
Liz is very smart to get her on any and all of these shows. It is tough to say how much exposure she gets from them, but I bet catalogue sales spike for her every time she is out there. That equals money. And it also equals young people who may become US. It exposes her to tons of kids who will never hear her on the radio and some will become crazy groupies like we are who go to shows, buy her entire catalogue, etc. It is a genius strategy to keep her in the spotlight. It reawakens her older audience of fraus and old men who loved her back in the day. And it showcases her to all the emo kids, real musicians, bad ass girls and gay boys who are under 30 and love real music. Get real folks. Where the hell else are they going to hear her? I think this is a pretty awesome move. At this point, Stevie's ICON status is bulletproof. It cannot be diminished. It can only be burnished. Liz has seen to that. And in the arena of self interest, I work on pretty much all the above mentioned shows or my friends do. So I get to go to rehearsals and tape days and hang with her. So I say bring it on. This works for me.

Her involvement with Glee wasn't that different. She went to the set to be a source of encouragement and inspritation, just as she will be doing with contestants on The Voice. And even though she was playing a (fictionalized) version of herself, the AHS gig was dabbling in acting, so I'm not sure why that is more palatable than being a mentor in a singing competition. |

In the case of Glee, I see it as a lot different because these are actors who are doing Stevie's songs--AHS was exciting because some of it was designed around the mystical aura of Stevie Nicks. I find these singing competitions lame, so I hate to see someone I adore within 50 feet of them. Again--my apologies to people who like these shows. I have things I watch on tv that a lot of people think are stupid--myself included-ha! Last edited by Steviegirl; 07-11-2014 at 09:41 AM.. |
