From someone's local paper:

"Local singer (Minneapolis) Jana Anderson, of the Sugar Divaz, leaves for a seven-week stint with Fleetwood Mac as a backup vocalist."

[GardenStateGirlie]

Livia, Meredith and Marissa~~~The Fly Girls. Yep.

Since beautiful Jana Anderson's on board, now MY BROTHERS want to attend a Fleetwood Mac concert!!!

[Sarah]

I never notice the backup singers anyway.

[4Buck]

Bet Buckingham's EXTREMELY happy with this choice!

"Course, he may have chosen Jana himself, or at least helped Nicks with the selection!!!;)

[FiercestCalmSea]

I kinda figured it wouldn't be Lori..considering they are going overseas and stuff and she has a kid to consider..this Jana chic seems cool..of course they were gonna pick a cutie..you can't have unattractive back-up singers,dammit..

Blame Waddy for restraining them. (And yeah, I know you don't mean the solo tours, Sarah, but they're not too different with the Mac.)

From the Q & A, here's Waddy:
I make sure that everything sounds, feels and looks the way it ought to. And that's why I used to bitch at Sharon and Lori (when Lori was on the road with us) and they would be over there doing these "moves" . . . I'd go over there and say, "Girls, cut that **** out!"
And Lori (Laughing) . . . she'll totally respond and remember this: I went, "Keep that ****in' arm of yours down or I'll cut it off!" She's pointing up in the air and dancing. I went, "This is not a disco." I've got this kind of Bob Fosse thing up my ass where I think I'm in charge of all of it . . . so therefore I am in charge of all of it. And I can't look over at my singers and see them like flailing around, you know? "Get a grip. Keep that arm down!" (Laughing)
Yeah, you know doin' them Chi-lites moves and stuff. I have to make sure . . . well, first of all, I have to work on the material, the "set list" with Stevie . . . get it the way she wants. I've got to make sure the band knows every intro, every ending, every chord, the singers know their parts . . .

I never understood what the appeal was with Lori. I thought she sang way too loudly, and I didnt think her voice was all that wonderful either.
I agree that Marilyn Martin was a good back up vocalist for Stevie.
I had to laugh when I read Waddy's comments because when I saw Stevie on the Wild Heart Tour, Lori was all over the place. I mean, it's great that she was enthusiastic, but she was way too busy up there. I think she was definitely coked up at the time-LOL!!

Well, if it can't be Sandy Stewart, then it should be CHRISTINE MCVIE!!!!!!!! Then they have a singer and keyboard player who knows most of the stuff already. And they're in England anyway.
:cool: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[HejiraNYC]

I thought Sara Fleetwood would be the obvious choice... even more romantic tension on the stage!

[macmar71]

Figures the new girl is blonde. Lindsey will definitely like this;)

[frostie]

Hmmmm.....pretty, long blond hair.......anyone else see a pattern here????

I wonder what Kristen thinks about the new back up singer? I bet there will be even more tension now!!!!;)

To go with this quote I add Gypsy-Rhiannons comments 'Damn, I want Lori to come back'

Now mine

Who the hell is Jana Anderson????:distress:


Lori, sweety, you are needed, sorely wanted and missed by the fans. :wavey:

Stevie, the fans recommend that you sack this Jana kid and get Lori back NOW!!:(

I blame Mick...he carries the can for all the bands ills, bless him....LOL!!:eek:

[WindingRoad]

Don Henley probably recommended her? :shrug:

susieq :wavey:

[gypsysara]

Or that maybe Stevie met her via Don and her involvement with Don / Eagles?:shrug:

She looks an awful lot like Mrs. B the whole blonde a'la Stevie thing...

[Livia]

Or maybe Jana replaced Mindy when Mindy left Don to tour w/ FM and Mindy recommended her....it's all so incestuous...

:wavey:

[wondergirl9847]

Has anyone HEARD her sing? Perhaps, she's a terrific voice? She's a cute gal and will contrast with Miss Sharon, O dark-haired lady that she is. Heh.

[gypsysara]

What if they have to re-re-print the TOURBOOKS because of this and hence why its taking FOREVER to get them out (??)...

Congrats to Mindy ~ BTW...
