Distasteful Amazon Review

[RockALittle250]

I was reading through some of the reviews on Amazon.com, and this one is just distasteful...and the person claims to be a "30+ year Stevie devotee"!? Give me a break!

Mind you, I write this as a 30+ yr Stevie devotee. Don't know why I buy Stevie solo concert DVDs: they invariably have been disappointing. LIVE IN CHICAGO is a decent performance, but something essential is missing. Stevie looks like an impersonator of herself--voice is there, but eyes aren't right. (Plastic surgery, perhaps?) She looks like Lindsay Lohan--(no wonder L.L. hopes to portray Stevie on screen). Also, the fate of Sharon Celani bothers me. Ms. Celani might have had a promising career as a solo artist in the '80s, but she hitched her wagon to Stevie's star (as her lover?)and stayed with her through thick and thin. Nevertheless, in this video, Stevie is insensitive enough to trot out a mediocre twenty-something (her latest flame?) to sing a forgettable duet called "The One." Stevie may have been her meal ticket all these years, but this display made me feel very sorry for Sharon.

For more down-to-earth and satisfying performances, instead of this DVD you would do well to get FLEETWOOD MAC - THE DANCE, FLEETWOOD MAC LIVE IN BOSTON, or a live Lindsey Buckingham disc.

So basically... this isn't even a review of Live in Chicago!!... It's a character attack.

The only thing this woman mentions about the music, the songs, the musicians or Stevie's "performance" is by saying "the voice is there". All they were worried about was how she looked, whether she had plastic surgery or not... whether Sharon and Stevie are/were lovers... and Vanessa C.

This isn't the first time I've read about people who think Sharon and Stevie are lovers. What the hell is up with that? :laugh:

Sounds trollish to me. Can people troll Amazon?

[PenguinHead]

Objectivity aside, Ms. Maloney's comments reveal her to likely be a miserable human being. The slightly delusional reasoning and rationale speaks more about herself than of Stevie --not to mention the somewhat scary and peculiar preoccupation with Sharon!

I agree it has a stalkeresque feel to it..likely a lesbian with a long standing and unrequited love for Sharon or La Nicks.

Yeah, kind of like Stevie got in the way of Sharon's impending stardom, thus reducing her to a singing slave.:shrug:
