Meet Stevie on Oprah

[Nicks Fan]

So last fall I sent in a letter saying that Stevie Nicks should be on the show

Dear Oprah

In all the years of having interviewed many singers and songwriters there is one person you have never interviewed and that is Stevie Nicks. I am one of the biggest fans of Stevie Nicks and have always wanted to meet her in person. I think her story is very interesting and she has such an amazing voice. I became a fan when my father was talking about a band that had a female singer and how he liked them. I didn't know who he was talking about until I started going through their LP collection and found the Rumours album. That was the start of a lifelong obsession with everything related to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. I have travelled to NYC and Philadelphia to attend shows when she hasn't come to Canada which is where I live. Why I enjoy her music so much is that she has written most of her songs herself and she has this very unique voice that really pulls you in. Her stage presence always feels so magical and mysterious at the same time. My favorite songs of hers are Landslide and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You. I would love to have the chance to hear her sing live on Oprah. That would be the dream of a lifetime. In my opinion she is the queen of Rock and Roll. She has a new CD coming out in the spring so it would be perfect timing to have her on your show.

Thank you very much

I was at work this evening and I got this email from a producer at Harpo that stated that they want more information on my story including a recent photo and a contact number. The email looks very legit so I think it is on the up and up.

I can't believe this is happening. This is beyond amazing. I don't know what this all about in terms of me being on the show or just being in the audience. I will keep you posted as to what happens

[Travis]

Wow Matt, that IS very exciting. I hope something wonderful comes out of this for you, for us and for Stevie. Keep us informed indeed.

you may be the vehicle by which stevie lands on oprah! YAH! thanks for dogging this. get ready for your televised debut! :D

[Phoenix]

YES! GOOD WORK! This album could be huge With that extra help also. I hope you get to have a really good experience And that she gets to be on the show

[MacMan]

Matt that's pretty amazing.... I love it. Wow... I'm sure you got the ball rolling and with that facebook page to get her on the show, collectively you guys may have sealed the deal! Well done!... Hope it happens for you!

[mylittledemon]

:lol: Well done! I hope it works out... good stuff

[leesuh84]

I got a similar message this afternoon! I wrote a letter several weeks ago after reading a thread on this forum about it. Of course I wrote back ecstatically. Nobody has to twist my arm to get me to talk about one of my favorite subjects ever.

After years of perusing here, this is my first post. So I just wanted to chime in and say good luck to everyone involved in getting Stevie on the show. I think it's finally going to happen.

I'm not American, and know very little of Oprah, so forgive me if I sound ignorant, but, Stevie going on her show is like, a huge deal right? It's so cool that they emailed you about Stevie, though!

[Christopher]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I hope something really great comes of this. Specifically, if Stevie is in fact invited & goes on the show, that Stevie, and particularly Oprah & her producers, pull out all the stops that someone of Stevie's legacy deserves.:angel:

[BTFLCHLD]

I think it's finally going to happen.

Lisa welcome to The Ledge. Good news on your message.

[louielouie2000]

Oprah is the equivalent of the top of the mountain here in the US. The fact Stevie has been in show business for 40 years and hasn't been on Oprah says it all. Oprah is probably the single most influential woman in the US... her influence is widely credited/blamed for getting Barack Obama in the White House. Fame alone won't get you on her show... you have to be a dynamic game changer. Somebody who has piqued her interest. Someone who has sent ripples of change throughout the world. If Stevie were to get a spot on her show, it'd definitely be a real coup for Stevie and her fans :).

[daniellaaarisen]

Congrats! Did you just use the messaging forum on her website?

[APerfectLie]

Whoot! It looks like Stevie will for sure be on the show with all this recent news!

[daniellaaarisen]

I submitted the letter that I wrote forever ago and forgot to send it.... I'm technically underage (they ask submitters to be 21) but whatever.

[jannieC]

I wonder if they need someone from the middle aged demographic to balance this all out....:woohoo:

Congratulations and thanks for the work involved in making this happen.

[Jondalar]

they are probably doing a fans show or last wish show

[Nicks Fan]

It is on her website where I saw the add asking for suggestions for guests. As I recall there was a link to key in your info and type a brief letter. I don't know if it is still ongoing or not but when I sent the letter I never thought that anything like this would happen.

[kathy1]

i hope that this happens.

[greendaze5]

Looks like Stevie will be on 'Oprah'! :] :]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

Here's the official form asking for fan input!

Oh wow, I can't imagine a chat-show host having that sort of power, that's sorta insane. :laugh:

Still, Stevie going on Oprah should be a really good move for her then, especially if it's just before the album drops :thumbsup:

OMG this is kinda official. I can't do this. I hope you guys post some great stories.

[Josh2003]

Christ...I hope they don't turn this into a "look at how much Stevie's fans love her" sort of segment...home video footage of people dressed up like Stevie in their bedrooms covered with Stevie posters and candles and crystals and incense.

[SapphireSister]

That is too cool for school! You guys rock! What an amazing opportunity this would be for Stevie and her fans. She'd be so proud of us. :D

[APerfectLie]

Oh christ. I'd def fill that form out but I so do not want to meet Stevie on the goddamn Oprah show. I mean I'd be a nervous wreck meeting Stevie anywhere, but on national TV? I'd friggin die!

[Jondalar]

I wonder if they are trying to find out how many people are out there to justify it?

[flickersticked]

I got an email too! I would be really really really nervous to go on the Oprah show but it'd totally be worth it!

[GoldDustOrphan]

Any publicity that fans can generate is a worthwhile endeavor. Of course, we'd all love to see a Oprah conduct a substantial interview with Stevie, but even a segment regarding her fanbase will still be seen by 6 million viewers. It's the #5 syndicated show in the U.S.
Fingers crossed for Oprah, and performances on American Idol (average aud. 24 million ), Dancing with the Stars (average aud. 22 million), etc.

[GypsySorcerer]

Oh wow, I can't imagine a chat-show host having that sort of power, that's sorta insane. :laugh:

Still, Stevie going on Oprah should be a really good move for her then, especially if it's just before the album drops :thumbsup:

Oprah is massively influential. I think every book she has featured in her "book club" has become an instant bestseller. There is a segment of the population that literally hangs on every word she says.

[Christopher]

Christ...I hope they don't turn this into a "look at how much Stevie's fans love her" sort of segment...home video footage of people dressed up like Stevie in their bedrooms covered with Stevie posters and candles and crystals and incense.

That's my fear as well. Though, it can be somewhat charming, but we all saw how that VH1 fan show turned out in 2001.;)

I would really just love 4 Stevie to be featured - in all her glory, and having an in depth, terrific and *revealing* interview with Oprah, perhaps sharing something she has never shared before. And equally prominent, have Oprah celebrate & acknowledge Stevie's legend and legacy going into her 5th decade in the music inductry. Top it off with 2 performance's by Stevie, something classic, and something new - celebrating the return of Stevie and her career masterpiece of a new album.:p

But if it is a fan related show, I genuinely hope the fans bring it! Bring some terrific and heartfelt stories, and a strong demographic diversity of fans is represented.:nod:

[TakenByTheSky23]

Looks like this is happening! I wonder if it will be just a segment or the whole show...regardless, my bet is that it airs the week of the album release. What a delicious treat!

[Jondalar]

Look, lets hope this happens. Aretha Franklin is going to be on the view in a couple of weeks and Jennifer Hudson is on the view. Stevie needs some show like Rosie to help promote.

[TakenByTheSky23]

Big time. I - and all of you - have been so looking forward to 2011 as the Year Of Stevie. I'm thrilled for everyone that's going to see she and Rod, but I hate the fact that so much of the lead-up to IYD has been eclipsed by the Heart and Soul Tour. She deserves her own platform - and an all-out media blitz. You couldn't get away from Stevie if you bloody tried in 2001 - Blockbuster Music Awards before the release, Rosie, countless media appearances. She did a huge media stop in Toronto where I lived for the release, and one of my favourite things to come out of that was an hour-long interview that aired on Much More Music (Canada's equivalent to VH1) called Speak Easy. Try to get ahold of that if you can, my American friends. But anyhow - this Heart and Soul tour is smart publicity for the album, sure - but you have no wonder where she'd be right now if she wasn't touring with Rod. I doubt she'd be reclusive. She'd be out there in the media doing more interviews and appearances, and maybe things wouldn't even be so tight-lipped. But here it is Tuesday again, and so far - squat! Throw us a frickin' bone...

[GODDESS6]

yeah, i filled something out:o~ i hope it all comes to fruition~

[jkmaletic]

I love how you called her, "The Oprah"! Too funny.

I filled the form out too. :)

Jamie

[jkmaletic]

Who cares?? Do it!! It would be worth it. You could just take a valium or something. :)

[Dodfather]

Well done! This is excellent news and I can't wait (I Can't Wait) to see what happens with this.

[mikebise]

I work for the Gap in DALLAS. Back in 1998, we had just discontinued the scent product called Grass in May 1998. In September 1998, Oprah said that Grass was her favourite scent from GAP and gave everyone gift baskets! Well, the company pumped that stuff back into production because of the INSANE demands for Grass because of Oprah!!!!!!

[RockAlot]

Well I submitted my 2 cents, and it wasnt easy as they wont let you enter without pictures, that wasnt the problem, it just mine were too big and had to adjust the size etc.

Totally not Stevie related...but I just sprayed Grass all over me on the way to work. I had no idea about the Oprah/grass thing. Not sure how popular the stuff is now though, I bought a small bottle of it for 97 cent the other day! It's my favorite Gap scent, but it's no Fracas. Ha ha.

Anywhoodles, back to Stevie news....:rolleyes:

Mikebise! So what your saying is that since Stevie loves "grass" she has to be on Oprah?!?!?

That's a brilliant connection! :nod:

[J.Miller]

I don't stand a chance. I am a 49 year old sweaty man and married with two kids. After my story I begged Oprah to have Stevie on her show.

[Silver Springs]

I hate being in England. We never get the good stuff :p

[WildHearted]

This is so awesome. I'm gonna sign up just for the heck of it but not thinking that I'll win. I REALLY HOPE they have Stevie on... this is amazing!

[daniellaaarisen]

I've submitted but I'm REALLY worried about the age limit... it says don't submit if you're under 21 but I did anyway. If this prevents anything from happening I'd be so pissed.

[sleepless child]

I'm 49 also, and God, I hope I don't sound like a stalker. LOL. I'm so excited about this. The only thing was submitting 3 photos. I only have one of my on the computer right now, so I submitted it and two of Stevie. :blob1:

[Musicman408]

OH THIS IS GREAT!! WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER ON THERE!!!

Anyone know when our stories are due?

[daniellaaarisen]

So I'm wondering if I should pretend like my dad is entering me because the age limit is APPARENTLY 21... but it lets you submit if you're younger...

[TerraRhiannon]

So I'm wondering if I should pretend like my dad is entering me because the age limit is APPARENTLY 21... but it lets you submit if you're younger...

Yeah really.... you mean like writing your Father's name down in the First Name & Last Name spaces & putting his age? I don't want to be disqualified because I filled something out wrong. Arghh

[TerraRhiannon]

Also, is anyone else submitting a video? I think I might, I just need to get my **** together & not sound like a friggen retard. I am anyway, but anyway...

[Christopher]

Just submitted my "essay". O M G that was like hell, trying to keep it under 2000 characters! The Ledge seems kinda quiet with a lot of lurking. Is everyone off to the races, submitting their stories to Oprah? I really hope so. So that Oprah & her producers realize what a thing of beauty Stevie Nicks is! She is Rhiannon - a bright light, from a bright world - brought down to bring us hope and joy in our most difficult hours.:angel: Sorry, all this writing and contemplation of all thing Stevie to me, really almost burst my little ole chiffonhead .:p

[louielouie2000]

I wonder if they need someone from the middle aged demographic to balance this all out....:woohoo:

I think you should throw your hat in the ring... you'd be a wonderful face for Stevie fans everywhere. You're gorgeous, well spoken, intelligent, balanced, and SANE! :laugh: I just fear what kinda weirdo the Oprah show might pick, and make the lot of us look like nutbags :shocked:

This whole thing makes me wonder if Oprah is doing some sort of "meet your idols" kinda show, where Stevie would just be one of several stars in the episode. We all know how Oprah loves to dedicate shows to making people's dreams come true.

You just built a case as to why YOU should throw your name in the hat:woohoo: esp. the weirdo/nutbag part.:p :lol:

[SapphireSister]

I thought about it but I've decided not to submit anything (even though I think I have a pretty compelling story) and give other people the chance to have some face time with Stevie. Plus, I wouldn't want to air my dirty laundry on national T.V. :laugh:.

[RockAlot]

I too submitted my view, at least we know they are getting some hits to there request.

Seriously, they have a age limit? That seems unfair? I'm sure there are legal reasons but seriously? Its like....here's my parents permission slip, can I play now!

[Dodfather]

This worries me too. We've all shuddered at some of the downright crazy people we've seen! We're not all like that! I say go for it.

[daniellaaarisen]

It's not even an 18 age limit.... it's 21 which makes zero sense.

[daniellaaarisen]

Not to be pompous or anything, but I think I have a really good story, and it would be hard to find better. I AM PRAYING OVER HERE, PEOPLE

[HejiraNYC]

I suspect that the winner will be someone who has the most stuff- a Stevie shrine full of tchotchkes. Oprah will definitely dispatch a camera crew to the individual's home. I mean, anyone can come on and say, "I am the biggest Stevie fan because _____." But few people have the actual tangible evidence to back it up.

I definitely would not want to appear on the show, but I would love to be in the studio audience. Who knows what they could be putting in those goodie bags? :shrug:

[louielouie2000]

I definitely would not want to appear on the show, but I would love to be in the studio audience. Who knows what they could be putting in those goodie bags? :shrug:

Same here... I have no interest in meeting Stevie or being on tv, but it would be fun to be in the audience for sure. How can we crash that joint?! :laugh:

[GODDESS6]

i'm praying over here as well, i have loved this lady since i was 5 & am now 42~ i sent in my story~ along w/ pics & a link to my stevie collection~

[Musicman408]

The 21 thing doesn't make any sense..... I may be 21 by the time she is on the show, but really???? Are us under 21-ers doing this anyway?

[SapphireSister]

It's not even an 18 age limit.... it's 21 which makes zero sense.

I support you baby girl!! :xoxo:

Perhaps there will be an open bar before/after the show?

[HejiraNYC]

Same here... I have no interest in meeting Stevie or being on tv, but it would be fun to be in the audience for sure. How can we crash that joint?! :laugh:

And this being Oprah's final year on broadcast television, she has been amping it up way over the top, e.g., sending her entire audience on a trip to Australia. I could see her doing something like that- free trips for everyone to see Stevie in Vegas!

Don't get me wrong- I would love to meet Stevie. I just don't want to fan-tard out on national television.

[daniellaaarisen]

I support you baby girl!! :xoxo:

Perhaps there will be an open bar before/after the show?

Whatever, they'd know I'm 19 and no one would let me drink! Such a pointless reason.

I may ask my dad if he'll submit my little letter again in my honor... be like, "my daughter already sent this in but was worried about the 21 age limit, so I'd like to support her in this and nominate her."

[daniellaaarisen]

i'm praying over here as well, i have loved this lady since i was 5 & am now 42~ i sent in my story~ along w/ pics & a link to my stevie collection~

If anyone has got it, it's you. Seriously-- the collection, the lifelong story, the fact that you're not psycho... :)

[SapphireSister]

Whatever, they'd know I'm 19 and no one would let me drink! Such a pointless reason.

Do you want me to submit something on your behalf my lil sis of the moon? It can't hurt, right?

[Jondalar]

Do you want me to submit something on your behalf my lil sis of the moon? It can't hurt, right?

I think you should go on the show. You seem like a happy go lucky person.

[gypsy4life]

I am going to fill this out now.
I hope Stevie is actually on the show. I don't care for Oprah, but, her advertising power is unbeatable. I am sure it would boost the sales of In Your Dreams!

[SapphireSister]

I think you should go on the show. You seem like a happy go lucky person.

Aww, thanks. I would love to but the thing is my story has some really personal elements to it that I don't feel comfortable sharing. I guess I could leave those parts out or just be vague and give it a whirl...very tempting.

[APerfectLie]

I thought about it but I've decided not to submit anything (even though I think I have a pretty compelling story) and give other people the chance to have some face time with Stevie. Plus, I wouldn't want to air my dirty laundry on national T.V. :laugh:.

Oh come on Linds! When I first read this, I imagined you being the one they pick!


And this being Oprah's final year on broadcast television, she has been amping it up way over the top, e.g., sending her entire audience on a trip to Australia. I could see her doing something like that- free trips for everyone to see Stevie in Vegas!

Same here!

[Musicman408]

It's weird- because there have definitely been people under 21 on that show.... oh well... I'll have my dad vouch that it's alright and then fill out something myself.

[daniellaaarisen]

Do you want me to submit something on your behalf my lil sis of the moon? It can't hurt, right?

Lindsay, I would be FOREVER grateful. Seriously, expect flowers in the mail.

[Jondalar]

Are there any soldiers on here?

[RockAlot]

Are there any soldiers on here?

Me, but it was many moon's ago, why?

[gypsy4life]

Submitted my gushy, very personal Stevie story...we'll see what happens.

[Jondalar]

Me, but it was many moon's ago, why?

would have a great chance of getting on show

[Gypsybecca]

"It's SSSSSStttteeeeevvvaaaayyyyy!!!!!"

Stevie baby, I have been in love with you since 1975, girl! When I saw you on the Midnight Special show twirling around in that black chiffon and bangin that tambourine with your sexy and cute self....mmmm hmmmm!!!!

Nooowww, Stevie...you know I have to ask about the drugs, girl. I don't wanna know but the rest of the world does...Miss Stevie how did you blow a hole right through your nose with cocaine?

:shocked:

[CADreaming]

Wow - this is such a difficult contest! I know so many of you have been fans forever and have such amazing stories.

So, good luck everybody!! :wavey:

[TerraRhiannon]

I suspect that the winner will be someone who has the most stuff- a Stevie shrine full of tchotchkes. Oprah will definitely dispatch a camera crew to the individual's home. I mean, anyone can come on and say, "I am the biggest Stevie fan because _____." But few people have the actual tangible evidence to back it up.


Yeah & that's sad. Just because someone has the most stuff doesn't make them the biggest fan etc. It might for some people, but yeah. Also, I do not have the money or resources to acquire such a collection so I hope this isn't the case. I sent in my story, because I feel it is a good one. I would not mind being on national television, it would be such a rush & my friends & family would go bonkers. I am praying my ass off, I might go down to the church & sit in a pew :\ Hahaha... joking... maybe,:angel:

[RockAlot]

would have a great chance of getting on show

Thats funny cause my story started with me listenting to The Chain when I was stationed in Mannheim Germany while in the service!

[StevieRox2]

"Tell us about your relationship now with Lindsey because y'all were breaking up during the famous Rumours record, but it seems like y'all was hookin' up after you two broke up"

[CADreaming]

"Tell us about your relationship now with Lindsey because y'all were breaking up during the famous Rumours record, but it seems like y'all was hookin' up after you two broke up"

LOL! I was going to say something like that too:

"Girlfriend, why do you talk about Lindsey Buckingham so much? 'Cuz you two broke up in like 1976, right? It was 1976? Or was there some hanky panky going on later?" :lol:

Yeah, Liz better get to work because Liza Minelli's people didn't stop Oprah from bringing up her last marriage even when Liza absolutely insisted she wouldn't talk about it.

[SandyMac]

Oprah: I dress up in chiffon and twirl around my living room while rocking out to Stand Back.

[SapphireSister]

Thanks guys for the encouragement for me to try for the Oprah thing but it didn't work out. I spent the last hour writing my letter in Word and when I tried to send it through the Oprah page not only was it more than twice the word limit but none of my pics were the right size so forget it. I'm taking that as a sign that it's not meant to be (plus my story cannot be compromised by shortening it). Someday she'll know and I wish all of you the best of luck! May the best fan win! lol

[SapphireSister]

"Stevieeee Nicks, my best friend Gayle has the biggest girl crush on you!"

[Gypsybecca]

Stevie, I feel like we have such a [I]spiritual[I] connection-we've both battled weight issues, abortions, aging in the public eye, men who have used us...we have such a [I]spiritual [I] connection, Stevie.


Stevie... I have a surprise for you! Suze Orman is here to show you how to manage your money, because at this point shouldn't you be a billionaire...I mean "Landslide" alone, girl!
You should be 'living your best life' at home, not on the road.

[sorcerer999]

I'm not submitting anything either. Not only do I NOT want to be on national television, but I also don't want to be on national television, blubbering and stuttering like an idiot to my favorite woman in existence.

...plus, I'd like MY STEVIE to remain MY STEVIE. Meeting her could ruin that.

[APerfectLie]

"STEEEEEEVVIIEEEEEEEEEEE NIIICCCCKKSSS!!!!"

"Girl! I've been a chiffonhead all this time and never had you on my show because I was too nervous to give you a call!"

"Okay, so you HAVE to tell me why you only date guys who look like their face got ran over!"

"Alright, this is very serious. After all the rumours, I want to set this straight once and for all. Did a roadie REALLY blow coke up your booty? What about your vajayjay?!"

Hahaha, nah, Idk what Oprah will say to Stevie, but I hope she asks her some new questions and puts her on the spot a little bit.

[PenguinHead]

If you want Stevie to move forward and promote her new album, why the heck would you want her to rehash the past?

Everyone knows about. It's history that has been written about since 1977; it's in documentaries, it's been adressed in numerous interviews over decades. It reeks of tabliod explotation (which is the disgusting tone of today's info-tainment cluture).

Haven't we've already heard it all, over and over again? It's done! It's toast! With fans interested only in this ****, you start to realize why the band has stagnated under the pressure to perpetuate the past. The credible artists that are of Stevie's age today are not usually subject to this tedium.

No real depth to the pandering questions like "How did cocaine put a hole in your nose?"

Really? Is that a question that needs to be asked...or answered? So much for an insightful interview!

Although it wouldn't hurt, Stevie does not need Oprah. I hope she does interviews with more credible music-oriented/industry sources. And I hope questions are focused mostly on what she's doing currently, and not the ancient past.

How about questions about her solo career?
Her views on social media and how it plays into today's market?
The chemistry and influence her producers have on her music?
How Dave changed her set-in-her ways attitude about writing?
How she sees herself fitting in as an elder in a youth culture?
Her views on aging rock stars?
What songs on the new album are really important to her?
Her current interests outside of the music world?

Think outside the Lindsey/Drugs box! In a way, we put her in that box. I do understand how younger fans were not even born during the heydays, so all the stories are intriguing to you, but it's already been said,done and there to see and read. Do really want Stevie to just be a broken record? Unfortunately that is what has happened. This new album is a new breath of fresh air. The oft-told stories of the past are rankorously stale.

Having been a fan for nearly four decades, it's curious to see how the fan perspective has drastically changes with the advent of social media. Instead of just being focused on their music, now we are all focused on their marketing strategies! It's a weird ****ed-up world.

It's only a weird f'd up world if you see it that way. And that's fine. I don't feel that way, and that's fine.

In so many ways, Stevie has never let the past go, and isn't that what makes her so endearing to so many of us?

Some of us grew up with Stevie and yes, you are correct we all know the "stories" but to think Oprah wouldn't go for the sensational elements would be fooling yourself. I'm sure even Stevie knows she will always be asked about "Rumours" and always be asked about Lindsey, and in my opinion, she seems fine with it, enjoys it even, telling the same stories that we like to hear....even after all these years.

If everything has been "said and done" then why does this board even exist? It's ok, lighten up! Stevie is happy, and we are happy she is still with us, creating more music. What's stale to you may not be stale to us all.

[CADreaming]

If you want Stevie to move forward and promote her new album, why the heck would you want her to rehash the past?

Everyone knows about. It's history that has been written about since 1977; it's in documentaries, it's been adressed in numerous interviews over decades. It reeks of tabliod explotation .(which is the disgusting tone of todays infotainment cluture) we're heard it all, over and over again. It's done! It's toast! With fans interested only in this ****, you start to realize why the band has stagnated under the pressure to perpetuate the past.

No real depth to the pandering questions like "How did cocaine put a hole in your nose?"

Really? Is that a question that needs to be asked...or answered? So much for an insightful interview!

Although it wouldn't hurt, Stevie does not need Oprah. I hope she does interviews with more credible music-oriented/industry sources. And I hope questions are focused mostly on what she's doing currently, and not the ancient past.

I agree with you - but the topic is what Oprah WILL say to Stevie... and I can't see it going too far outside the well-marketed box...

[jannieC]

I submitted an essay too, but more out of support for Stevie than a desire to end up on Oprah. I would be appalled, watching myself later, seeing myself so ridiculously fanatical on national TV. I would do it, though. :o I also hesitated on making my story too personal, knowing it could be broadcast for all to see.

I had to merge these threads, everyone. I hope they merged in a way that makes sense to new readers. Please, let's keep the Oprah conversations in one place. Thanks.

random thoughts...

Itunes killed the concept of albums and records stores, and irerrevocably changed the industry for the worst . Social media -- for all it's benefits -has a dark downside. Honoring the past is one thing. Pandering and living off of it is another thing. There is nothing endearing about stagnation. The board exists to celebrate and share critical analysis of our favorite artists!

[Jondalar]

Well I hope she doesn't ask her about her drug addiction and men. That would take three weeks and she would never be able to squeeze it in.

[Jondalar]

I bet I could get on the show if I wanted. I would just tell them that I was a Ukranian orphan and my real name was Posha. I came to america after I heard Stevie's voice on the radio because I wanted to be close to that voice. Once I almost died by choking on a Big Mac, but then I saw a vision of her and I was called back to earth...

[APerfectLie]

Well it looks like it won't necessarily be just a Stevie show...

Are you a rock fan? Are you inspired by any female rockers? Did you grow up listening to Fleetwood Mac, dreaming of being Stevie Nicks? Do you get nostalgic when a Pat Benatar song comes on the radio? Did her songs help you deal with your heartbreakers? Did you always wish you and your sisters could form a band, like Sister Sledge? What is your go-to karaoke song?

Good Grief :( Suddenly, the air just left my balloon. Total cheese.
So were Oprah's producer's just phishing, and now honing in on their prized concept. or possibly they did not get enough responses to just Stevie?! Ugh, I just died a little inside.:sorry:

Yeah, they were and Stevie might not make that show. It depends on the stories they get. Frankly, this is makes me a little sick.

[Musicman408]

Any people under 21 submit one? I'm trying putting my age as 20, and it's stating I need a valid age..... Might make a brief note of this is my note! :(

By the time the show happens, I may be 21~

[michelej1]

Oprah is massively influential. I think every book she has featured in her "book club" has become an instant bestseller. There is a segment of the population that literally hangs on every word she says.

You're right. It will translate into IYD sales.

Michele

[michelej1]

I think you should throw your hat in the ring... you'd be a wonderful face for Stevie fans everywhere. You're gorgeous, well spoken, intelligent, balanced, and SANE! :laugh: I just fear what kinda weirdo the Oprah show might pick, and make the lot of us look like nutbags :shocked:

This whole thing makes me wonder if Oprah is doing some sort of "meet your idols" kinda show, where Stevie would just be one of several stars in the episode. We all know how Oprah loves to dedicate shows to making people's dreams come true.

Oprah's audience screams when she hands out scented candles, so if candidates can't act like a breathless lunatic when they're introduced to their "idol" then I'm sure they won't make the cut. Histrionics required. Michele

[HejiraNYC]

It sounds like Oprah's producers are fishing. And some of the names tossed out there are so far-fetched. I mean, Tina Turner is a recluse living in Switzerland with nothing new to promote. Cher is no longer doing her Vegas show and has nothing new to promote. Cyndi Lauper released an album last year and has nothing new to promote. Sister Sledge? Really?

A couple of years ago Oprah did a special with Cher and Tina Turner together, each being infinitely more famous than Stevie. So I think having a solo Stevie episode would have been an impossible dream. I think an 80's theme show with Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Stevie and Pat Benatar is a likely scenario.

Exactly...I think it's a bit crazy to think that Stevie would get her own full-hour. If anything, maybe half of the show. But to feature her in a show on other women rockers, while a bit of a disappointment to the fans, makes more sense, I think.

Stevie might not be on that show. I bet it depends on the most heartfealt stories they get, and they don't have time to feature all those rockers.

By the way, Aretha Franklin did not get a full show either. I saw her on Oprah and she was only on there for like 10 minutes.

A few years ago there was an even weirder mix of singers- Mary J. Blige, Carly Simon and, I think, some female country singer that I can't remember. Each had a song and an interview segment. I can't remember the theme of the show. :shrug: But there is always a common thread in there somewhere. The only time a celebrity gets a full hour is if they are unqualified A-list stars or if they are currently in the midst of a big controversy or about to make a big confession. She could have easily devoted a week of episodes to Whitney Houston!

This is what I thought originally, which immediately had me thinking Stevie & Rod might appear on the show together. Some sort of rock n roll retro show to also promote H&S before the Chicago April 9th Show.:shrug: But ultimately, I've warmed a little to possibly see Stevie appear with the likes of Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Debbie Harry & Heart. But Sister Sledge!?:shocked: Thats just freaky. I mean, I can even justify Donna Summer, but Sister Sledge!:eek:

Basically, if Stevie does appears on some future O show, it will be great exposure and good for In Your Dreams. And I suspect Stevie would be the featured *prized* guest out of all the names being thrown around by Oprah's producers for Rock Goddesses of the 70s and 80s.

I am sure they are doing a show about 70s and 80s rock goddesses. Stevie is the first name mentioned on all of them and she has a new album coming out and there has been a huge push to get her on there, so I would bet my sweet ass Stevie will be there. I think it may end up being a "Where are they now?" show woth Stevie and Pat and maybe someone else.

Agreed! Rock Goddesses "from the 70's & 80's" is bad enough.;) referring to Stevie & Co. as practically irrelevant.

[WildHearted]

I think it's most likely just a tribute to 70/80s Female Rock Icons of some sort, highlighting the cult following they have etc, hence the fan submissions. I don't know if it will focus so much on the 'Where are they now' aspect, as if it's some sort of shocker... it's not like Stevie's working at Burger King, lol, she's still in the industry.

[GODDESS6]

i saw a show on OP this season where she had male heart throbs from the 70's~ she had peter frampton & shaun cassidy on~ i think there was another guest as well, but i can't remember who~

[APerfectLie]

That would be horrible theme? Would they ask where is Aretha Franklin now? Stevie is an Icon. Everyone knows where she is.

Lol they definitely aren't going to disgrace her by marginalizing her to some one hit wonder has been, but I am sure thats how the episode will be structured. Neither Stevie nor Pat have released any new music sinve 2003, and tho many people regard both of them as legendary icons and know they are still around, most people have no clue what either has been up to over the past 8 years. I am not saying they are going to say, ROCK GODDESSES OF THE 70S AND 80S, WHERE ARE THEY NOW? what I am saying is they probably aren't going to do a show about fans or one completely geared toward Stevie. They are going to have a few "rock goddesses" and tell their story and bring them out and do an interview with them on their past and what they are doing now, just like the where are they now episodes.

[gldstwmn]

I think Oprah's producers are going to be surprised at the "cult" of Stevie. I don't think they realize how loyal her fans are or how big her story is. She should definitely have 60 minutes to herself. Also, I can't see her doing a ladies of the 80"s thing. :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

yet octo-mom can get a whole show. go figure.
That's only because she was with Suze Orman. :rolleyes:

The taping is on April 8th. I have a reservation for two to be in the audience. I wrote a paragraph on why I love the music of Stevie Nicks on nickslive.blogspot.com where they featured Oprah looking for the "Ultimate Stevie Nicks Fan". I also wrote a similar paragraph to be in the audience on Oprah's website. I'll be disappointed if Pat Benatar shows up instead of Stevie! Anyway I'm going to meet some friends from other parts of the country to have a girls weekend in Chicago. Should be fun!

That taping date is a good enough omen Stevie will be on the O show. :) April 8th is a day before the Heart & Soul tour stops in Chicago, and Stevie has that day off...on her way to Chicago in all likelihood April 7th, through April 9th.

Stevie performs in Chicago April 9th with Rod. Therefore, there is no reason she won't be on Oprah! I'd say you should snag up some tickets to the Rod/Stevie show on the 9th, but you may get some free ones at Oprah!

[Rampage Girl]

Urgh. I put in for tickets to the show and haven't heard anything yet. I live with in driving distance of Chicago and have been not only a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan since I can remember but have also tried to get tickets to a taping of an Oprah show for years with no luck. Oh, I hope that I can get tickets to see the taping of this show! That would be the BEST!!!!!

[Buddy]

That would be awesome!

[Pyewacket]

Being a fan of both Nicks and Benatar, I'd love to see them both on the show. Even a little exposure on Oprah is a lot of exposure, right?

It's the right age group for Stevie -- these are people who would never know she had a new album from the regular channels (like radio or MTV). It'll be huge for "In Your Dreams" to get a plug.

Benatar has a book to promote. Hers is a completely different story than Stevie's -- she was drug-free, got married to her guitarist, Neil Giraldo in 1982 and had two kids. I have to admit...it made for a bit of a dull book (it's more about her struggles with her sexist pig record company and her sweet romance with Giraldo than anything else).

I hope they're on stage together as I'd love to see them interact. They're both generous in spirit and they've been kind to one another in the press, so I am sure it would be a lovely exchange.

That's only because she was with Suze Orman. :rolleyes:

I suspect that the winner will be someone who has the most stuff- a Stevie shrine full of tchotchkes. Oprah will definitely dispatch a camera crew to the individual's home. I mean, anyone can come on and say, "I am the biggest Stevie fan because _____." But few people have the actual tangible evidence to back it up.

I definitely would not want to appear on the show, but I would love to be in the studio audience. Who knows what they could be putting in those goodie bags? :shrug:

OMG..Now you have me scared..I put mysubmission in and didn't even think about that that they would come to your house!

[JeannieKartis]

So last fall I sent in a letter saying that Stevie Nicks should be on the show

Dear Oprah

In all the years of having interviewed many singers and songwriters there is one person you have never interviewed and that is Stevie Nicks. I am one of the biggest fans of Stevie Nicks and have always wanted to meet her in person. I think her story is very interesting and she has such an amazing voice. I became a fan when my father was talking about a band that had a female singer and how he liked them. I didn't know who he was talking about until I started going through their LP collection and found the Rumours album. That was the start of a lifelong obsession with everything related to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. I have travelled to NYC and Philadelphia to attend shows when she hasn't come to Canada which is where I live. Why I enjoy her music so much is that she has written most of her songs herself and she has this very unique voice that really pulls you in. Her stage presence always feels so magical and mysterious at the same time. My favorite songs of hers are Landslide and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You. I would love to have the chance to hear her sing live on Oprah. That would be the dream of a lifetime. In my opinion she is the queen of Rock and Roll. She has a new CD coming out in the spring so it would be perfect timing to have her on your show.

Thank you very much

Matt Denison

I was at work this evening and I got this email from a producer at Harpo that stated that they want more information on my story including a recent photo and a contact number. The email looks very legit so I think it is on the up and up.

I can't believe this is happening. This is beyond amazing. I don't know what this all about in terms of me being on the show or just being in the audience. I will keep you posted as to what happens

well I hope it happens because I'm going to the April 8th taping of rock and roll fans and the rumour is from one of the producers that they are working on getting Stevie since she and Rod's show is the next night :)

We all know that Oprah's folks are on the hunt for the megafan, and now the media does too. Here's an article from the CBC:

Is this the same link as the one posted a couple of days ago?

[Musicman408]

Anyone heard of anyone getting selected for this yet?

[Rampage Girl]

So it sounds like 2 of you got tickets to the taping on April 8th. I have happy for you but I am still waiting to hear anything after putting in my request. Did you get an e-mail or phone call? I have been having my cell on during work & checking my e-mail constantly and nothing. :-(

[Buddy]

I found out by e-mail. I found out about it within the same day of applying. I suggest you make sure you fill out both entries, one for audience tickets on Oprah's website and the Stevie Super fan entry (where you have to put up your picture). I also signed up as a member on Oprah's web page. Good Luck!

[Musicman408]

So, is the Stevie fan thing the same as just tickets to the show?

[Rampage Girl]

Oh, this is not looking good for me. I also signed up in both places and have been a member of Oprah.com for many hears and I have not heard anything. :-(

I filled out both too and signed up as a member and didn't hear anything back. I'm afraid there are no more reservations left :(

To meet Stevie, or just to be in the audience. Are there two different things we're going after- I'm having a hard time understanding here!

[Buddy]

I think it is two different things. One to be in the audience and one to be featured on the same show. I think a "superfan" will actually get to meet Stevie. Maybe it will be a surprise for the "superfan"? I don't know if filling out the "superfan" info gives you an advantage. I would think so. I'm thrilled to be in the audience. I have heard the audience is small and intimate. I couldn't find the link for the audience selection any more on Oprah's site. Anyone know if it's been taken down?

Good luck , I hope the audience is full of Ledgies!

As of last night the reservation window was closed as the audience quota had been filled....my friend got the email shortly after she submited the form for the Rock and Roll show they're doing...we're hoping that Stevie will show up since she and Rod's show is the next night in Chicago...they are in the planning stages of other shows so you may be able to get tix for one of those...

LMFAO! Here is to hoping Salt N Pepa get Stevie to sing Push It with them :lol:

As funny as that is, Stevie likes her R&B so I can actually see that happening. :laugh:

[Musicman408]

I'm just wondering how we're going to find out who the "Stevie's Number 1 Fan" was, in terms of selection.

[jkmaletic]

I never read into it as a "contest" for her "#1 Fan", just that they were looking for fans in general. So I don't think anyone will be named her #1 Fan necessarily. :shrug:

They were probably looking for a certain type of fan that fit in with what they want to do on this particular show.

That's what I was referring to, not necessarily who her number 1 fan is. That's just what they've coined the thing. I was just wondering if we were going to find out, and how.

[jkmaletic]

My guess is that it'll just be a show about rock stars and their fans, some crazier than others.

I sure hope so as I and a few others stevie peeps have tix to that taping :)

My fear about Stevie appearing on Oprah is that we will hear the same old script that we've heard from her for the last ten years. Will she sing a new song, or will we get another performance of Stand Back? Will she address how and what she's doing now, and how she sees herself in today's world, the state of the music industry, or will it be a lot of pandering to her past?

Stevie is interesting and quirky, but she is not the most articulate and insightful person:sorry: Aside from featuring a bunch of gushing fans, I hope the dialouge will be on higher level--in the context of her longevity, her iconic persona, her unconventional lifestyle, her work and interests outside of the music industry (with various charities/military) etc...

um yes, we are talking abt Stevie Nicks, not the best guest on a talk show but I'll take whatever I can get :)

[Nicks Fan]

Well it has been a week as of Monday that I was contatcted by Oprah's staff and I still haven't heard. I posted on her forum just asking about notification and their response was that you will hear back by phone or email if selected but they didn't specify how soon you should hear back.

This is all so very weird as they have not confirmed anything yet nor has anyone said they were picked to be a guest on the show.

I will keep hoping for a call. My friends think that they have to be serious about my letter if they asked for a photo and a contact numbe plus the publicity that my sister helped create. I still think that there had to be more then just me whom they contacted. I would love to go but if it doesn't happen oh well I still love Stevie's music and will hopefully see her solo this summer.

I am pretty much in one hundred percent the same situation as you!

[daniellaaarisen]

I am pretty much in one hundred percent the same situation as you!

You heard back?!?!

[Musicman408]

You heard back?!?!

No- so the same boat, MINUS that part! :)

[WideSargassoSea]

I was hesitant to post this, but I figure what the hell! I'll rock a little...

I wrote in an e-mail to the Oprah Show last Monday on a whim and I was contacted the next day (last Tuesday) by one of her producers. When I got that call saying "Hi, this is Allyson from the Oprah Show," I almost had a heart attack! I played it cool though, and we spent about 15 minutes talking about how Stevie has influenced my life, etc. She took all of my contact information and said that she would reach out to me again soon. I'm starting to get a liiiiiittle anxious, since it's been over a week since I heard anything.

Has anyone on here had a similar experience? I know Nicks_Fan received an e-mail. It would be fantastic to have the audience filled with Stevie fans.

So not 100% the same situation at all then?

[LiquidDiamonds]

:laugh: :xoxo:

[Nicks Fan]

Well at least it is comforting to know I am not the only one who is waiting. My sister started a Facebook campaign to help me out when she found out I was conatcted and now I have been making the rounds of lcoal TV and radio. I would think that has to count for something since my hometown has rallied behind me.

Well that really sucks, I wish I'd written right away.

[GYPSY100870]

I had the same thing happen to me, I filled out the form and sent it in last Tuesday, Last Wednesday Allison from Harpo called me and asked me all about what I wrote. I was on the phone about 15-20 minutes as well. I tried not acting to "crazy" but interesting as well? She said, at that point they had about 30 shows to do this season and this one was a contender. If I was "chosen" they would contact me. I havent heard anything back? I was at least hoping to get in the audience if nothing else, but I guess it wasnt meant to be? :(

[Nicks Fan]

Well on Facebook Pat Benatar posted that the rumours were true and that she was going to be taping an episode of Oprah. Air date TBA.
