Things you DO NOT want to hear Stevie say in concert

[Gypsybecca]

All in good fun, what just makes you cringe when you hear Stevie say it on stage?

What I don't want to hear:

1. "This shawl is sooo old....but so am I!"

2. "This next song I'm going to sing was written by Tom Petty/Bonnie Raitt/Bob Seger."

3. "When Lindsey and I first came to L.A.........."

I can't wait to see Stevie, but she always seems to say the same things. Is it because she gets nervous?

[CADreaming]

"Um, this next song..."

[SapphireSister]

Thank you.

[louielouie2000]

"This next song is another one I didn't write..." :(

[bluefox4000]

"I'd like to introduce my good friend Sheryl Crow" :rolleyes:

Mick

[Angel69]

"I'd like to introduce my good friend Sheryl Crow" :rolleyes:

Mick

Amen to that!!!

[vivfox]

"I'm only gonna be performing three new songs tonight"

[michelej1]

"I'd like to introduce my good friend Sheryl Crow" :rolleyes:

Mick

Or, "I'd like to introduce my good friend Vanessa Carlton."

Also, wouldn't be partial to:

"Waddy, come closer."

Michele

[bluefox4000]

Oh I got one, "I'll be on TV next week. I'll be performing. Stand Back. Dreams, and a bonus.......Landslide!!!!"

Mick

[CADreaming]

"My Dad always thought Landslide was about him."

[michelej1]

"My Dad always thought Landslide was about him."

"My Dad always thought Sara was about him."

Michele

[CADreaming]

"My Dad always thought Sara was about him."

Michele

:laugh::laugh:

[wheart]

Stevie needs to simply talk less, limiting her song introductions to two at the very most. By now we all know what Dream is about, what Landslide is about, what Fall from Grace is about and what Sorcerer is about. I find her introductions not only rambling but they completely kill the flow of the concert.

Oh, I also don't want to hear Stevie talk about how we can all save the music business by going to cafes and having a revolution. WTF was that nonsense all about??!

[bluefox4000]

"My next album will feature Kanye West."

Mick

I can't remember what she said on the SYW tour exactly, but she always had to be careful to distinguish the song SYW from the album SYW and her wording was cute, if awkward.

I loved the Gypsy intro for the Unleashed tour and every slight variation thereto.

Michele

[sorcerer999]

Oh, it's never, "My GOOD friend, Sheryl, Vanessa, etc"...

it's always, "I'd like to introduce my LITTLE friend, Sheryl Crow."

"I was talking the other day with my LITTLE friend, Vanessa Carlton..."

"My LITTLE friend, Michelle Branch and I had a conversation about..."

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Gypsybecca]

"I'd like to introduce the love of my life, and boss, Waddy Wachtel."

1. Is Waddy REALLY the love of your life?
2. If you're paying him, then YOU are his boss, right? :shrug:

[Amlyn]

Michele

I thought it was very interesting how the story evolved from a few sentences to a full blown monologue by the end of the tour. Although like you, I loved hearing it each time.

I don't know why but it bothered me when she muffled "Let's Get This Party Started" during Unleashed. If I never heard that again that works for me.

[DallasDude]

"Christine is like my best friend, even though I haven't spoken to her in like 10-12 years."

"The internet is just a fad."

"I don't need to sell as many CDs now that I'm not in desperate need of cash to support my coke habit."

"I can't wait to duet with Justin Bieber!"

[Hawkeye]

You know, when me and Rod started this tour 18 months ago in what was it April 2011 like 3 months before my album In Your Dreams came out, it was just for a couple shows, but well it was just SO much fun, we just had to keep it going"

[StandbackStevie]

I wrote this song in colorado and it was a time where Lindsey and I were not sure what to do next should i be in the business or back to college, well you know Lindsey and I were like married you know. And we got to taste the finer things of life recording in a big studio making a record to have it just be dropped as soon as it was released was like were back at square one you know and Lindsey and I were like married you know i did stupid jobs so he can practice day and night and to get us to were we want to be its alright for me to do stupid jobs because it was fine.

[Sanne2]

Aww no I thought that was cute!

[TerraRhiannon]

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Lmfao, x10000, so funny xD :laugh:

[Artemis]

Mick

roflmao. I made the funniest laughing sound when I read that. :laugh:

OR - "I was on vacation, went shopping with, went to a play with, ate dinner with...

"My best friend, Lori..."
"My best friend, Sharon..."
"My best friend, Mick..."
"My best friend, Bob..."

etc., etc., etc...

[Musicman408]

"Let's Rock!" :)

[darklinensuit]

"My new album, 'In Your Dreams', is my masterpiece! I think it will be out by the end of 2011, or whenever my brother Chris finishes designing all the photo inserts and fonts."

- Jake

[Sanne2]

"Please take a look at the merchandise stand, not only did my brother design wonderful t-shirts, but also keychains, pillowcases AND the new tourbook!"

[michelej1]

"You all remember I Can't Wait, don't you?" She pauses to allow for loud explosive clapping and cheering from the audience, then continues:

"So, now please welcome my handsome brother Chris, to recreate his dance moves from that video."


Michele

[bluefox4000]

"Please welcome.......THE CAST OF GLEE!!!!!"

sorry couldn't help it:D

Oh and......."In your dreams will be followed with....Sweet Dreams and Shattered Dreams." Hee Hee
Mick

[WelshWitchPMD]

Let's congratulate Rod on his new baby boy. :mad:

[CADreaming]

"Stand back! Stand back!... Ladies and Gentlemen - Mr. Rod Stewart!"

[vivfox]

I don't know why but it bothered me when she muffled "Let's Get This Party Started" during Unleashed. If I never heard that again that works for me.

She said this in Connecticut on last years 'This is Not A Tour Tour.'

[PenguinHead]

I wish she would omit the verbal crutch "thing" from her vocabulary. If she's the poet she thinks she is, you'd hoped she could find more descriptive words. Even in her lyrics, she sometime uses weak generic terms, where a better word would strengthen the lyric.

[APerfectLie]

Here are a few:

-"Lindsey"
-"Every once in a while, a song comes along that you did not write"
-"Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night... YOU FINISH IT!"
-"And now, to help me out with this classic hit, please welcome Miss TAYLOR SWIFT!"
-"ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE ROCK AND ROLLED!"

[wheart]

I can't remember what she said on the SYW tour exactly, but she always had to be careful to distinguish the song SYW from the album SYW and her wording was cute, if awkward.



Michele

Here it goes..."This next song is from our new record Say You Will...it's the song itself, Say You Will..."

a bit awkard but Stevie may it sound charming nonetheless;)

[wheart]

I wrote this song in colorado and it was a time where Lindsey and I were not sure what to do next should i be in the business or back to college, well you know Lindsey and I were like married you know.

LOVE IT!!:thumbsup:

[WildHearted]

"You know"

....

[StandbackStevie]

LOVE IT!!:thumbsup:

glad some one loved i though it was funny cause she does say that at times...lol :wavey::thumbsup::lol::shocked::blob1::woohoo:

Kind of like...who cares...shut up and sing?

I really dig her rambling...she get excited...and its neat because you see and hear the woman...in all her hilarity, oddity, human...emotional, loving etc...the person that keeps writing for the things money can't buy?
Stevie, to whom do you cry...when people are unkind? And yet you still dance across the stages of the world...Sweet Girl.

I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic here or not but if you were being serious that was beautifully stated! You articulated that so well and I couldn't agree more. I love when she talks. It's such a different "voice" than we hear singing and shows a side we don't often get to see (as in what it would be like to have a conversation and hear Stevie Nicks talk to you). I would be crushed if she said nothing but band intros the whole show.

Thank you Sapphire Sister. Slamming Stevie as a human being makes me sad.

Mick, this would be a good thing! Imagine a whole cd of songs like At Last and Call On Me For Magic.

I totally agree ! I know she's a bit repetitive at times but that is part of her charm, that is who she is. Who know's maybe she'll let something slip, like who Secret Love is about ! :shocked: I am sorry, but i am not buying that she doesn't remember who or what that song is about !! If you think about it, she can tell you everything about every song she's ever written. Even " I've loved and I've Lost " song way back from high school ! If she would just fess up that she would really rather not discuss who the song is about, it would add just that much more mystery and intrigue to the song and also her !! Adding mystery is what Stevie is all about. I just think she should have done it that way !! :shrug: I love her not matter what, that's just my opinion.

[bluefox4000]

Mick, this would be a good thing! Imagine a whole cd of songs like At Last and Call On Me For Magic.

I like standards. No problem there. However.....I loathe when an aging rocker attempts it. Hearing standards with Stevie's nose singing.....scares the sh*t outta me:sorry: It would be good comedy though. Lol

Wow. I love these! Some of you Ledgies are hilarious, thanks for the laughs.

That bothered me too for some reason... it just didn't sound natural and I kept thinking - is this what my Stevie/fairy godmother/soul mate/sister of the moon calls a party? Must be...cause if she's using the weird muffled voice, she means business!
