[sleepless child]

I'm so excited by this. I've been watching this season because I'm from the Pittsburgh area and I wanted to see Heinz Ward. Now Stevie will be on singing!!! I wonder what she will sing? I don't want to hear "Secret Love" We need something new. Maybe "You may be the one'?

she's really pumping that song right now so I have a feeling that anything we see of Stevie in the next few weeks will be that song..I like it but Ive worn it out already:nod:

[wheart]

I can totally see a dance sequence to "Moonlight".

[Bandon]

According to this website (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/dreams-come-true-for-stevie-nicks-1514437.htm), Stevie will be doing "Secret Love" and "Landslide". Such shocking choices! :eek: :p

In other Nicks news, the Gold Dust Woman is scheduled to perform two songs including her new single, "Secret Love" and her classic mega hit "Landslide" on next week's "Dancing with the Stars" airing live on May 17th.

Thanks!

I'd rather hear anything other than "Stand Back", "Landslide", or "Secret Love". But alas, Stevie is Stevie :cool:

[WelshWitchPMD]

Not too thrilled about hearing Landslide for the 26,000,000 time but I guess we will have to take what we can get. At least she is going to hopefully get more exposure.

way to go, NOT, Secret Love means it time for a bathroom break

[Heartboy]

:lol:

[Jondalar]

Italian Summer is perfect for Dancing for the Stars. I really don't understand this stuff with Secret Love. It's like beating a dead horse. All I can think is Italian Summer is not easy to sing and Secret Love is.

[RockALittle250]

Why is anyone surprised that she's performing "Secret Love" and "Landslide"? Stevie isn't trying to sell us, her "hardcore" and devoted fanbase her album, she's selling to the casual fan and/or new fan.

The reason why she performs the same songs over again is because that is what the public wants. I can guarantee the public-at-large did not think "Landslide" on Oprah was "boring".

Landslide is a classic. Secret Love, in my opinion, will not get people to buy the album. Italian Summer would of been perfect for this. Infact, they could of done a dance to this song. I'm just thinking that Secret Love was chosen as the first single because it is the easiest song for Stevie to sing off that album. I really think that is what this is about.

Well that is one of the reasons why certain songs are chosen as singles. I'm sure she could perform "Italian Summer" but it would be very stripped down and not as grandiose as the studio version.

Pretty much she will be riding out "Secret Love" until Reprise decides to release a new single. And the song is STILL climbing at AC radio, so they are just riding the wave right now.

[UnitingNations]

I have my secrets. :)

[UnitingNations]

Cool, thanks for the info, wise-poster-of-very-few-words.

I've made many a similar posting before. Trust me, I cannot say more than what I *can* say.

[DeeGeMe]

I'm not a Secret Love fan either but the ratings for DWTS are huge so hopefully it will help boost album sales.

[Macfanforever]

This show was my moms favorite tv show.I will be tuned in next week.

[MacMan]

I don't have a problem with hearing either... Everyone young and old will know and enjoy Landslide... Secret Love hasn't been played on primetime tv yet... It's really it's first LARGE audience.. we're talking massive.. so it's all good. More people will hear this song watching this one show then if she toured for months and months.

[johnnystorms]

is a great, catchy song! arguably the most marketeable song on the CD. let her get it out to 15million people! i love IYD, but until Repreise gets behind something else, that's the horse she has to ride.

not much of a wave, more of a ripple. Will be soo excited to see what is released next.

[Heartboy]

It can be but I'm reminded of last October when Heart was on 'DWTS' and their new album was mentioned so all Heart fans were excited because of the exposure to the new CD but I have yet to hear if it's atleast gone gold! :shocked: Stevie's in the same boat as Ann & Nancy, same era and ect so I hope it helps with her new CD as well!

yeah, this isn't glee or american idol. She may get some sales from this, but not much, especially promoting the wrong material.

[APerfectLie]

Secret Love is not going to get anyone to buy the album if she sings it the way she has been singing it recently. Maybe it is just me, but I don't think SL sounds good live. Maybe when you are there in the audience, but on youtube and on Ellen, it sounds bleh. It would sound a lot better if Stevie didn't feel the need to yell the whole damn song. You May Be The One would probably be the easiest one to sing live. For What It's Worth would be pretty easy too, but when she gets on stage she goes into yell mode, so instead of singing it softly and turning up the mic, she'd go belt it out at the top of her voice. Oh Stevie...

[AliceLover]

yeah, this isn't glee or american idol. She may get some sales from this, but not much, especially promoting the wrong material.

ITS HER NEW SINGLE!

Did you follow her when TISL came out? She played her singles to death on every public appearance in 2001. Its the same deal. Its NOT because its easiest to sing, its NOT because shes afraid to try new songs, its NOT because she was sick and hasn't rehearsed. SECRET LOVE IS HER NEW SINGLE, THAT IS WHY SHE IS PLAYING IT.

[APerfectLie]

I understand why she is doing Landslide. It is a classic, it sounds good when she sings it, and everybody loves it. However, it is a Fleetwood Mac song. A Fleetwood Mac song she has beat to death! Why not do Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You? It'd be just as good without the overkill factor.

[Heartboy]

ITS HER NEW SINGLE!

SECRET LOVE IS HER NEW SINGLE, THAT IS WHY SHE IS PLAYING IT.

Do you think you made your point? *LMAO* :lol:

Exactly! She has promoted Landslide to DEATH!!!!!!! A few weeks ago on twitter people were commenting that if they heard that song again, they were going to throw up. She needs to promote herself. Leather and Lace is a single that she get to gold status. Has Anyone Ever Written is great and would help her sell her solo career. She is in solo career mode. Quit selling Fleetwood Mac. She's becoming a one trick pony. The sad thing is she has good material off this album that some people will never know is even on the album.

[Annabell Lee]

I think her problem is confidence. Stevie is a comfort person. Landslide for her, is like curling up w/ a good book and a cup of chai ;) ! She knows the song inside and out and prob. wouldn't screw it up on live t.v. I think to her, it's the most sensible thing to do. For us, it's getting boring. I love the song, don't get me wrong. However, this horse has been beat to a pulp. I really think she's afraid to do anything different. Your average fan or listener, expects to hear Landslide. Why not throw them for a loop, and sing something beautiful like HAYWAFY ? That's my answer. You would think after all these years of success and performing and all the people that just adore her, she would have all the confidence in the world in her self but i don't think she does ! It's kind of sad because artistry is all about taking chances but to her it's almost like jumping off a cliff ! :confused:

[StandbackStevie]

I read she will be performing two songs so my guess would be Secret Love and a classic my guess Standback or Landslide. would be cool if she did Love Is or HAEWAFY.

[fumidesigns]

I'm not mad at all that she's doing 'landslide' and 'secret love'. 'Landslide' is a classic! Everyone and their mama knows that song! Besides with all the new 'glee' buzz it will remind folks to go buy that album, the white album, rumours, bd, so on and so forth......this equals $$$$!!!!

'Secret love' is perfect because not only is it her new single, but it's easy to sing!!! Hellooooooooo she was just sick! That just makes sense if ya ask me. 'Italian summer' has some notes that she may not be able to hit right now! She'll rock SL of course!

Any promotion is an excellent and much needed thing right now!!!!

Oh and HOW'S THAT FOR THE 'QUEEN OF THE ONELINER'!? :lol:

I can never get mad at Stevie at all I am so glad she is going a national show to perform Secret Love and Landslide and anything she is sings you know its going to be good can't wait to see the show on tuesday.

[wheart]

She's done Secret Love on Oprah, Ellen and across the US with Rod Stewart. The song was released back in March (?) or even sooner. I don't recall. My point is we've all heard it and love it but it's reached it's peak. It's been on the charts for a while now. It's done. It's a wonderful song but it's time for a SECOND single to gain some exposure. That's how you sell records in this day and age, if you're lucky. Gone are the days of waiting months to release a new single. That's why artists now release singles in rapid fire or even simulatenously to keep people's interest. Radio isn't exactly playing Stevie's new stuff on a regular basis so she needs to look for other avenues for promotion.IYD is an exceptional album. There are many wonderful songs on it that need to be heart by people who have not bought the album yet. Being that it just dropped last week, DWTS is a prime opportunity to play a new song and keep the interest and the momentum going. Playing Secret Love and Landslide (ugh) will do nothing to promote this record or Stevie's career.

I swear people B*tch to much around these parts! :rolleyes:

yeah, I think it's time to let it go, just take the album and run

[fumidesigns]

We'll shall see........

It would be cool if she did her new single, but since she was sick, she's gotta do what she can. I mean damn.......who wants to hear the new single if it's not gonna be the best cause she can't hit the notes? Maybe I'm not making any sense......but I think I am lol!

[DefDumbandBlond]

I haven't read through the other comments but all I meant by rumors & not seeing concrete confirmation was that at the time it wasn't confirmed by any news networks or websites. I wouldn't consider what I said being better info than what was originally posted.

I totally agree your comments regarding a new single. Yes she needs to move on and release and promote the next single. SL has fallen off the AA chart and is dying on the AC chart.

However, regarding Landslide, she needs to perform the one song that has the greatest audience recongnition for all generations, which is Landslide. After they hear Landslide, she will perform SL. That makes for good marketing sense.

Trust me, I'm so tired of seeing her perform Landslide, but then again, I would not consider myself a casual fan. I like so many other hardcore Stevie fans seek her performances out. Most people don't. :nod:

[PenguinHead]

Regarding the over-exposed song Landslide: the problem is that Stevie has never written another song in that vein that has acheived universal accessiblity and acceptance.

You would hope that in the 37 years since she wrote that song, that she would have written another song like Landslide: one that would have the same qualities and appeal. But sadly, that song was a fluke of sorts.

The only song I hear that has some of those qualities is "For What It's Worth." My only irk with that song title is there is another well-established song with that same title: Buffalo Springfield's hit song written and sung by Steven Stills. Given that Stevie is familiar with late 1960's music, I wonder if it ever crossed her mind.

[Bandon]

doing Secret Love on Oprah and on Rod's tour didn't really seem to help

Technically she did not do Secret Love on Oprah. It was not broadcast on the show, but put on the Oprah site later. I bet only a fraction of the TV viewers logged on to watch the Secret Love performance in the internet. So really the only nationally broadcast of Stevie performing the song was on Ellen.

Dancing was the number one rated program last week. That audience will give her and the song much, much greater exposure than the Ellen show performance for sure. :thumbsup:

[delongpre]

"When it comes to music the Dancing With The Stars results show has two very different acts lined up. Rock & Roll icon Stevie Nicks stops by to sing her legendary song “Landslide.” She will also be singing her new single “Secret Love” from her new album In Your Dreams. Stevie Nicks’ performance will be accompanied by DWTS pros Dmitry Chaplin and Anna Trebunskaya. "

Just announced on ABC.

[Macfanforever]

I wonder if they going to let Waddy and rest of her band on stage. or she's going the wing it with the shows band.She probably feels out of place.

[Macfanforever]

I got this from Zap2It listings.

Dancing With The Stars 2011: Stevie Nicks Performs Live (May 17, 2011)Posted by Jeff Kane on May 16, 2011 at 7:21 PM EST

It will be a long night of music and dancing on a 2-hour long Dancing with the Stars results show this week.

When it comes to music the Dancing With The Stars results show has two very different acts lined up. Rock & Roll icon Stevie Nicks stops by to sing her legendary song “Landslide.” She will also be singing her new single “Secret Love” from her new album In Your Dreams. Stevie Nicks’ performance will be accompanied by DWTS pros Dmitry Chaplin and Anna Trebunskaya. The other musical act will be rapper Pitbull who will be joined by singer NeYo and Nayer to perform his single “Give Me Everything.”

When it comes to dancing we will see the return of several past contestants as Apolo Anton Ohno, Donnie Osmond and Warren Sapp return to provide some color commentary. DWTS Season 2 winner Drew Lachey returns and teams with former partner Cheryl Burke to recreate their fan favorite freestyle dance.

In what will likely be a very emotional moment 13-year-old Tayla Kelly will perform with Dancing With The Stars pros Lacey Schwimmer and Chelsie Hightower to the song “Bulletproof.” Tayla was born with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease which has led to her having multiple surgeries, organ failure and a short life expectancy. She has found solace from this pain in dance and was recently recruited by the Rochester city Ballet to study dance at the Timothy M. Draper School. She gets to live a dream tomorrow night and take the floor with two pros. I doubt there will be dry eye in the house.

While Two hours is way too long for any Dancing with the Stars results show, at least they have a lot of stuff planned for the show and should keep things moving.

Thanks for more info.

[J.Miller]

DVR set and ready to go. I am a bit nervous for Stevie. I looked up the ratings and roughly 20 million people have been watching DWTS lately. I wish Stevie could have been on Idol too. Why was her Idol appearance canceled? To have Stevie doing both shows then one of them being canceled has got me down.

[crtrofthenight]

I am so digusted with her doing Landslide, Stand Back, Landslide, Stand Back, Secret Love, Landslide, Secret Love, Landslide. I am so seriously ready to throw up right now.

[CreepingDeath]

I am so digusted with her doing Landslide, Stand Back, Landslide, Stand Back, Secret Love, Landslide, Secret Love, Landslide. I am so seriously ready to throw up right now.

Do you mind doing it in the Post-Rumours section? Don't want to get it on anybody...

You're funny. I have been a fan of Pitbull for a decade. I even worked for him one night and had a nice conversation with his 'proud of his son' father. And he's sexy as fukc.

[J.Miller]

Do you mind doing it in the Post-Rumours section? Don't want to get it on anybody...

Hey, it's 'The Queen of Rock Roll' in front of maybe 20 million viewers on national TV. What could be better than that? I bet many of her peers her age would give an organ or two for that chance.

[TerraRhiannon]

I really wish she wasn't doing Landslide. Honestly, I wish she was performing If Anyone Falls, cause that song always makes me dance =) I like how she's doing Secret Love though. Hopefully the vocal will be better than it was on Ellen when she had Pneumonia.

[Macfanforever]

You're funny. I have been a fan of Pitbull for a decade. I even worked for him one night and had a nice conversation with his 'proud of his son' father. And he's sexy as fukc.

Oops .I'm sorry Viv.what a small world.I guess he will meet Stevie.

Btw.maybe she will do some twirls during her appearance.

[henryscutter]

Do you mind doing it in the Post-Rumours section? Don't want to get it on anybody...

now that is funny :lol:

[Hawkeye]

Hey, it's 'The Queen of Rock Roll' in front of maybe 20 million viewers on national TV. What could be better than that? I bet many of her peers her age would give an organ or two for that chance.


What Could Be Better????? Maybe utlilizing that rare oppurtunity to have an audience to play a song that will make as many of that 20 million to buy her new album.

BUT I Will say AT LEAST she is playing ONE of her two songs from the new album. Technically thats most important. The album will be mentioned in front of 20 million people. And the song is decent enough. My only complaint is there is so much more attention grabbing material from IYD.

As if no one has ever heard the song Landslide??? Perhaps all of Stevie's marketing efforts -before and after- should include Landslide! Brilliant idea! The big mistep in her new album is that she didn't include a new "Dave Stewart mix" of Landslide. In fact they should should have titled the album "In Your Dream Landslide!" or "The Landslide in Your Dreams." Yeah!:thumbsup:

[Johnny Stew]

Even Paul McCartney has to play an "oldie" when he makes an appearance. Whether die-hards like it or not, casual listeners like to hear something familiar. Stevie's doing a new song (one, it should be noted, that has only been performed on television once) and she's doing a classic. That's a fair trade-off.

[wildheart048]

Does anyone know if Stevie is on Dancing With The Stars tonight? According to my DVR, she is, but I haven't seen it listed anywhere else..

[sleepless child]

Yes, she is on tonight. Tom announced it many times through the show last night, so it looks like a go. I'm kinda nervous. I hope she does well.

[GODDESS6]

my cable guide says stevie is definitely on tonight~

[wildheart048]

Awesome! Thank you so much...I don't watch the show, so I didn't see it last night...but I'm all set for tonight!!

[SummerlongBoots]

This article said she will perform Landslide and Secret Love. :rolleyes:

What time does this show come on?

[kak125]

i think the results show is on at 9 eastern time

Oprah (on which she ALSO did landslide) + Ellen + DWTS = 3

Am I missing any?

[Richard B]

Oprah (on which she ALSO did landslide) + Ellen + DWTS = 3

Am I missing any?

Johnny Stew is right, only one new song (Secret Love) has been on TV, so far. Oprah does not count, as it never aired. DWTS has not happened, yet. So yeah, only one new song has been broadcast from IYD.

[jrpjr]

Omg...landslide and secret love?...I was hoping Italian summer and in your dreams...oh well course it will be great no matter wat she sings

[Phoenix]

Oprah (on which she ALSO did landslide) + Ellen + DWTS = 3

Am I missing any?


actually its... ( had toLook it up on Oprahs website was NOT ON TELEVISION = 0
Dancing with the stars has yet to air = 0
Plus ELLEN = 1. SO As usual j.stew is right
her single has only been performed once on national television
I do not think that singing landslide is necessary at all. I think she could do 2 new songs from the new album

[sleepless child]

A few people on twitter said Stevie was rehearsing for tonight's show.

[HejiraNYC]

A few people on twitter said Stevie was rehearsing for tonight's show.

She had better be! And she had better be sipping throat-coat tea in between hits off of her asthma inhaler too. The world will all be watching Mama tonight! :eek: I'm sooo excited (and terrified) for her.

[RockALittle250]

She had better be! And she had better be sipping throat-coat tea in between hits off of her asthma inhaler too. The world will all be watching Mama tonight! :eek: I'm sooo excited (and terrified) for her.

Yes, this is a BIG deal.

What a lot of people who aren't in media do not understand is, Stevie has to perform a hit song along with a new song because of the audience that she's reaching and the fact that her management and the showrunners know that 15 million people are NOT her core/diehard fan base. "Secret Love" is a given as it is the single (and STILL climbing in radio, I might add), and "Landslide" is a good choice because she may not want to bother with "Stand Back" and perhaps other arrangements were made as far as the show's theme and production order as to supplement Stevie singing "Landslide"...it could possibly segway into the next dance, and on shows like this, the producers can make the call and require that Stevie sings a particular song, or as Ellen did, just ask really nicely ;)

[mikebise]

She had better be! And she had better be sipping throat-coat tea in between hits off of her asthma inhaler too. The world will all be watching Mama tonight! :eek: I'm sooo excited (and terrified) for her.

"Terrified"? Only send out positive vibrations for Stevie! :woohoo:

Can I skip the first hour, or will Stevie be on both hours? She's only listed in the second hour of my satellite guide.

[mikebise]

Although... I was just listening to that 2001 KFOG "Stand Back", back when Stevie was taking shots of tequila before going on-stage. Maybe Stevie should be swigging a little Cuervo Gold in between the inhaler and frou-frou tea!

[gypsy4life]

So excited for Stevie tonight!! So many people are going to be watching.

I got to work today and had emails in my inbox from co-workers who are fans of the show "letting me know about Stevie performing". Ha----like I didn't know!:lol:

[RockAlot]

There were several people talking about the show in a meeting I had this morning, I said nothing about Stevie being on there....But just the fact that so many people watch this show! There in for a treat tonight!

[enchantd1]

So excited for Stevie tonight!! So many people are going to be watching.

I got to work today and had emails in my inbox from co-workers who are fans of the show "letting me know about Stevie performing". Ha----like I didn't know!:lol:

Same thing here. 4 emails this morning telling me to be sure and watch tonight :lol:

[WildHearted]

I totally understand why it's necessary for her to sing an old song... it seems pretty obvious. You give the audience/viewers something they are familiar with so that they recognize you and are comfortable (everyone likes a song they can sing along too), and then you give them something new to promote and get new ears hearing it...

They do this with all of the artists pretty much. Hanson was on the other week and they did MMMBop despite the fact that they wrote it when they were 10 and it's been performed 108198 times, and then they played new stuff afterwards.

She could do something like Stand Back but keep in mind that Landslide was just on Glee, so all of the people who heard it there will now see Stevie singing it and go 'ohhhh', etc. I know we're sick of Landslide but I understand.. also, as others have mentioned, it's quite possible that the producers have a say in what gets sung.

[Musicman408]

Just checking, she hasn't performed yet, correct?

[joe]

Just checking, she hasn't performed yet, correct?

both songs were performed.

[joe]

kidding lol.

no, nothing yet! I wish they would get on with it already. I don't watch this show normally. They haven't even mentioned her at all. Are we sure this is really happening???

[WildHearted]

The show doesn't even start until 9!

[Moz]

They just showed a quick shot of her before commercial break! Wearing a black button-up blazer type top, black skirt, gloves, and those weird chain mail wrist things.

[joe]

ok...they just announced her "coming up" and she is onstage and waved to the camera. wearing black outfit (duh) and wavy hair. looked good :)

[Moz]

Here she is! Tom just mentioned IYD; Secret Love is up first.

[joe]

she's on! sounds a bit shaky....

[Moz]

"Stevie will be back later in the show."

To me, she sounded less sick than when she was on Ellen - a bit more nervous, though.

[WildHearted]

she's on! sounds a bit shaky....

Sounded nervous at first.

She really did a good job, I think. She looks SPECTACULAR and her stage presence was really on point, she didn't seem quite so forced with the motions that she did and it just looked like she was having a good time.

Gooo Stevie.

[Josh2003]

Musically, I thought it sounded the best we've heard "Secret Love" yet. Her voice was a bit off, but got better as she went on.

[joe]

IDK about this song anymore...I realize she was sick but it's not sounding that great live to me.

???

[JohnL]

that was really good I thought. She sounded so much better than when on Ellen and really looked like she was having fun with it. I think she sold it pretty well.

[Moz]

I think it's the little instrumental part - it seems to slow down the song too much. :shrug:

[jannieC]

She looks spectacular but her voice is shot right now. At first I thought it was nerves, but the poor woman's voice is just flat out hoarse. I hope Landslide sounds better.

[SummerlongBoots]

She did sound a bit shaky at first, but I think she worked it out just fine! She looked like she had fun! :blob1:

[Annabell Lee]

She looks fantastic but her voice still sounds a little sick. I don't think it was nerves. She did sound a little off to me too. She did look at ease and happy though ! :thumbsup:

[jrpjr]

i think stevie's secret love is that damn black dress..i wish it would secretlyyyyyyyy dieeeeee....i think she was carried out to the stage..and they carried her back..those boots r killer but u can tell she is very uncomfortablle and nervous in them...all said w/love..think she started off pretty flat but pulled it off fairly well..but still not even LIKING this song...dont hate...but not a fan

[Jondalar]

This song didn't sound good on the show, but the dances made it better. I don't know. In Your Dreams is resting at 115 on the iTunes chart. Lets see if it helps at all.

[SummerlongBoots]

I think it's the little instrumental part - it seems to slow down the song too much. :shrug:

I agree. It's kinda awkward to watch. :eek:

[cristochango]

A lot of people on Twitter are saying it was bad :/
I thought it was the best we've heard though.

[Macfanforever]

She was great.I notice Waddy was keeping a good eye on her.keeping her calm.

[DeeGeMe]

She looks great. Not so much on how she sounded though. Then again, I have always hated that song--hated it as a demo back in the day and I still hate it. Why on earth was this the first single release when there are so many great songs on IYD?

[OooMissionary]

I like it a great deal more after the Pitbull performance...

[Macfanforever]

Pitbull was just on.he was good.

[wheart]

This song didn't sound good on the show, but the dances made it better. I don't know. In Your Dreams is resting at 115 on the iTunes chart. Lets see if it helps at all.

I don't get channel 6 so I couldn't watch but it sounds like I didn't miss much. I love the song but it's not the best choice to do live. Glad to hear Stevie wore black, though. I was a little concerned she might decide against it. :rolleyes:

[OooMissionary]

Pitbull was just on.he was good.

He looked hott, but I couldn't hear a word

[sleepless child]

I thought Stevie sounded a little ragged, but I think overall it was a good performance. She looks so happy to be there. Dancing a little herself. Everyone was on their feet clapping. Hoping Landslide brings the house down.

[Jondalar]

A lot of people on Twitter are not liking her performance or the song.

#DWTS If I never see or hear Stevie Nicks again that would be just fine.Did not enjoy her raspy off key voice. How did she get where she is?

At least DWTS is consistent. They made both Stevie Nicks and Pitbull sound equally crappy. Good job!

RT @TweetDiane: WOW.....Stevie Nicks sounds terrible! Never liked her anyway, but she sounds really bad!!!

[Amlyn]

Agree with everything you said.

And I'm loving that she has been wearing her hair wavy for most of the interviews and performances she's been doing lately.

[darklinensuit]

I think it's the little instrumental part - it seems to slow down the song too much. :shrug:

Absolutely, that part is more a musical dead end than a mini-bridge. Painful.

Stevie's gestures weren't as annoying as in the other performances. And I thought her last note sounded pretty good. But overall the stage is just too big for this song.
I think WSS could have been a great choice - would have suited her currently ragged voice much better. SL is a pretty song & needs a light vocal.

- Jake

[daniellaaarisen]

She shouldn't have pushed herself to do this if she wasn't ready. It sounds like her voice wasn't nearly up to it's usual par and viewers are noticing...

[1sttimelongtime]

She shouldn't have pushed herself to do this if she wasn't ready. It sounds like her voice wasn't nearly up to it's usual par and viewers are noticing...


I agree. She should be resting for the Wiltern. That was awful.

[PenguinHead]

I think she looked great, and did a great job considering her health issues. She was a little hoarse in places, but it was still a clean, decent performance.

I just wish people would be more realistic regarding this song. It's not going to make or break the album. She has her established fan base. Who would that potential new demographic consist of? Pre-teens who weren't alive during her heyday? She's well-known. Most people have long-ago made up their minds about her. Stop trying to think she can be what she was 30 something years ago. She has changed. The world and music industry has changed. I have changed, but the panic /concerns remain ageless!

[joe]

I think she looks great. They just showed another clip of her waving while announcing the next song coming up as a FM classic or something to that effect.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I agree. She should be resting for the Wiltern. That was awful.

She should be resting, period. Pneumonia is not something that just goes away. She still doesn't sound ready.

Ok performance. Nothing good/nothing bad.

[Macfanforever]

she's coming up next.as she was waving away.

[Highwayman]

Major nervous... Her voice is not up to par...

[joe]

ok....she's totally redeeming herself with Landslide!

[Josh2003]

Was it just me, or was part of the first verse left out?

[Macfanforever]

Considering what she's getting over with pneumonia.she did awesome tonight.

[joe]

her voice sounded fine on Landslide. WTF with Secret Love? I think she needs to retire that song and do something else to promote IYD. IYD would be such a great number to do live. Very upbeat, faster, and a bit more exciting.

[joe]

Was it just me, or was part of the first verse left out?

Yes, I guess they had to, for time's sake.

[Maria78]

Was it just me, or was part of the first verse left out?

I thought I was imagining it, but my friend who's not as big a fan as me but Landslide is her fav texted me and said the same thing. Would they cut it for time purposes?

[daniellaaarisen]

As iffy as I am on "Annabel Lee," I think it'd be great live. I'd really love to see her do "Wide Sargasso Sea" on this type of thing, though.

[DeeGeMe]

Much better on the 2nd song. She sounded better as she warmed up--probably a combo of still recovering from pneumonia and nerves. But so much better on landslide.

[CADreaming]

I thought I was imagining it, but my friend who's not as big a fan as me but Landslide is her fav texted me and said the same thing. Would they cut it for time purposes?


Yes, they probably gave her so many minutes and she had to trim it. I've heard of artists refusing to perform trimmed songs on tv shows.

[TwistedGypsy]

I'm going on the Stevie Nicks IYD treadmill workout regime....Mama looked great! That waist! Voice was ok to me but it looked like she was really happy to be there. I liked when she did the lasso. Reminicient of the SYW lasso dance but a little more raunchier. I liked it! :D

[sleepless child]

I thought Landslide was a beautiful performance tonight. I feel bad for her having gotten the flu at such a bad time, with the new album out and promotion a must do. But she came on and pushed through. She looked great and I thought she did a wonderful job.

[Nightbird17]

Secret Love.....Stevie needed some rest. Let's move on to the next single please :shrug:

Landslide.... Excellent job!

[tabruns]

She shouldn't have pushed herself to do this if she wasn't ready. It sounds like her voice wasn't nearly up to it's usual par and viewers are noticing...

I suspect that if Stevie had canceled then people on here would be howling about a missed promotion opportunity. Sometimes I don't think she can win with The Ledge.

[tabruns]

Secret Love.....Stevie needed some rest. Let's move on to the next single please :shrug:

Landslide.... Excellent job!

The song was still moving up the AC chart. They're not going to move on until the song is no longer moving up.

[GypsySorcerer]

I just don't think "Secret Love" translates that well to a live performance, especially with her illness.

I wish she'd get another single out. This album is too good to simply fade away.

[Nightbird17]

The song was still moving up the AC chart. They're not going to move on until the song is no longer moving up.

and it's only taken 4 months to move...:rolleyes:

[SapphireSister]

So what time did she gone on east coast time?

I actually find the negative twitter posts quite entertianing...

[Nightbird17]

I wish she'd get another single out. This album is too good to simply fade away.



Amen! Time to make a move!

[tabruns]

Well whatever, the fact is that it's still moving up. :shrug: I just don't see WB releasing a new single while "Secret Love" is gaining some traction, regardless of what those of us on The Ledge might think. They're not going to undercut a single when it's moving upward.

We'd all hate to see this album fade because it's just too good to deserve that fate. I wonder though if we're also being impatient. We want a big splash, we want the album to go Gold yesterday, we want a top 10 single now. What if WB and/or Nicks know full well that the best success for a classic artist are continual slow steady sales of the album? Albums do sometimes start moving back up the charts too. We sometimes forget that.

[jcalzaretta]

I agree that her voice was not back to normal and Secret Love struggled. I think it is a hard song to pull off on stage. I agree she should release a new single.

As for Landslide, I thought that was not her best performance of Landslide. She was trying to do new stuff with that song in certain parts and it did not work. However, the audience loved it and gave her a standing ovation.

Not sure it will help with sales. She needs to some tv time where they play the studio versions too so people can hear how AMAZING her new CD is.

[Fiver]

Nightbird: Well I guess during the Rod Stewart tour she did keep mentioning the album so maybe it helped some? I don't know. It would be cool if WB would try to push "For What It's Worth" at country radio, which I think they could do while "Secret Love" is still climbing AC.

[daniellaaarisen]

I suspect that if Stevie had canceled then people on here would be howling about a missed promotion opportunity. Sometimes I don't think she can win with The Ledge.

Most of us know that pneumonia isn't something to screw around with, and I think that everyone who understands that would've supported her if she missed any of these opportunities. Think about the Ledge's reaction when she canceled Webster Hall AND the Today Show. We were all extremely bummed about it, but we understood that her health was more important.

[Amlyn]

So what time did she gone on east coast time?



Without checking my DVR, I'd say somewhere between 910-915 and 945-950.

[Nightbird17]

Glad to hear it's helping sales! Any publicity is good....:D

[njova]

Stevie is not some young teeny bopper pop star that can release their singles every few months she already should've moved way on from this single. Being on Dancing With the Stars is huge exposure but like I said performing this song and old hits really won't help boost album sales.

True, but I also saw several people lamenting about the lost promotion opportunities. I'm not suggesting that anyone here thinks Nicks should risk her health because I don't think anyone thinks that, but I do think she sometimes gets blasted for not doing "enough" to promote the album (to be fair, that criticism gets leveled at WB way more often than at Nicks).

very well said...I have to keep reminding myself that I love the album and my odd obsession for her to sell a crap load of cds has nothing to do with my enjoyment of IYD....I shouldn't need it to sell a million copies to validate my love for her music

[tabruns]

Being on Dancing With the Stars is huge exposure but like I said performing this song and old hits really won't help boost album sales.

But apparently it is, since the album has moved up 12 spots or so on iTunes. I understand the point of view that "Secret Love" isn't a 'grab your attention and make you buy my album' single in some people's eyes so they're frustrated that it's being performed but at least Nicks is actually performing a song from In Your Dreams. If she had only performed "Landslide" I still think it would have been good exposure but it's definitely much better to actually perform a new song.

[Nightbird17]

True, but I also saw several people lamenting about the lost promotion opportunities.

Agree. Stevie's health is the most import. WB needs to get their ass in gear. This CD is awesome and deserves major promos! Stevie just needs to a great setlist together and we are all set.

Interesting tidbit: When I give this CD to friends who aren't rabid Nicks fans (like me :) ), I keep hearing the following - "I really like 'Secret Love' and 'Moonlight'".

Ok, so I missed DWTS tonight. My stupid DVR only taped the Freestyle Special? and not the results? Did anyone see it? How did she do?

If anyone got it on tape and would like to do a trade, please let me know!

Thanks!

totally I've been following charts since 1987, when I was 18

[JamieK]

I'm in the camp with "she done good" ... it did seem weird watching the dancers ... couldn't help but wonder if she was distracted... I especially liked the long, strong notes at the end of Landslide ... very nice. Can't imagine how nervous she was though! GREAT SMILE too!

[tabruns]

I agree. I'm not surprised by the fact that people keep pointing to "Moonlight" as a stand-out.

What does surprise me (slightly) is that people who haven't been following this all along also keep pointing to "Secret Love" as a favorite. This has been consistently happening with the people that I give the CD too (and without any prompting from me, either).

Yeah. I just recently drove to Fresno with my mom and I played the album all the way through. When it was over I asked my mom for her thoughts and opinions..

She loves Secret Love. Its her favorite! She also really likes You May Be The One.

[tabruns]

Same here. I used to love following the Casey Kasem "American Top 40" charts when I was younger.

That song and Everybody Loves You are the biggest surprises off the album to me. I love them both and never expected her to do songs like those.

[deribish]

Holy crap! she's moved up 27 steps on the Itunes chart!!
she started off at 115 -- got to 104 at the end of the East coast airing.
now she's up to 88.

and in other random news... Rumours has FALLEN in the past hour. its no longer in the top 10.

it's been 20 for a long time, 20 to 21, however, FM greatest hits did move up from the 160s to 130s

[deribish]

And She's back at #2 on Amazon!!

EDIT:
now she's at #3... but STILL!!! wow!!

i think a lot of people just dont know she HAS A NEW CD. regardless of how she sounded tonite this was GREAT publicity. remember how bad the Mac sounded on the Today show during Say You Will? LIndz sounded so bad... yet it really helped sales too.
it's hard to mic live stuff for TV. you dont get the natural reverb -- you get this very direct poor EQd vocal that can sound harsh. yet i bet if you were in the audience at DWTS she sounded superb!

Secret love is great...it's got no promotion until recently.

Wut? :shrug:

[mikephxaz]

I finally saw Dancing with the Stars...all i can say is she is a first class lady...here she is sick and she struggles through secret love a bit but then she comes out and does landslide and breaks my heart...great performance of that song....it reminds me why i love her music...it has nothing to do with sales or charts or which album is the best or worst....its all about her and a guitar singing a song

The Housewives of New Jersey just premiered. So, eventhough Danielle is not on this season, it's peaked peoples interest. All Danielle had was the show. They are wondering what she is doing to support her scuzzy life.

[macfanken]

what a jerk:

"@Neezyyy: Anyone else watching DWTS? Sorry Stevie Nicks, but I'm pretty sure my asshole could sing and sound better than you right now." Hm

i really hate twitter.

[macfanken]

i don't think she sounded *that* bad... but her recent illness is definitely still affecting her voice. On the other hand, she looked fantastic! I like the longer dress...

[jkmaletic]

Just saw "Secret Love" - Stevie's TV nervousness showed. She nailed this song live two nights ago when I saw her in Vegas. It sucks that she's so nervous for tv appearances.

I hope she's more comfortable when she does Landslide next....

Jamie

[used karma]

She knocked Landslide out of the park, but Secret Love? :eek:

[Allycattt]

Stevie Stevie Stevie Stevie:(
I love you! But you need some rest my darling, its best.
You are one strong lady. Im sure that was difficult.


Everyone there seemed to enjoy it though. So thats good.

I just hope Landslide goes a bit more smoothly..


P.S. I was laughing SO hard when she did her little lasso dance(';

[J.Miller]

Stevie looked terrific. The band played great and the mix was not messed up. Poor Stevie, her voice was quite rough at times on Secret Love. No real complaints on Landslide. I'm ready for a new single. I hope she makes the rounds on the late night talk shows. We need a tour schedule if there is going to be a tour. People are making their summer plans and budgeting.

[vivfox]

I haven't watched it yet but I did tape it. I have enjoyed reading everyone's viewpoints for the last 2 hours in addition to some great phone conversation with another Ledgie.

[Phoenix]

She knocked Landslide out of the park, but Secret Love? :eek:

Listen, shes been singin Landslide since the 70's, and secret love since about 6 months ago:lol: after she sings Secret love for 30+ years at EVERY show then it should be right. they say practice makes perfect:lol:

[jkmaletic]

Landslide was a little better in regards to the nervousness, but she sounded congested. But as I mentioned in the Vegas thread, the only time I heard congestion in her voice was during Landslide.

IMO, Stevie is at her best when she's singing to her fans. Youde think after all these years it wouldn't matter who she's singing to, but clearly it does.

[Richard B]

She looked amazing. Maybe I'm easy, but I liked both performances. A wee-bit of a rough start, but she got going and I love the live sound.

[studyinscarlet]

I don't get why anyone is not happy about the Secret Love performance. Just watched it again and she sounds great. :shrug:

[APerfectLie]

Well I just watched it and I must say, Secret Love wasn't as bad as I imagined. She is still singing it too low and yelling too much. Landslide was really great tho!

[The Catdancer]

She was a bit off at first, probably nerves, but I really liked both performances. She looked great despite the fact she's still sick. I think she was awesome.

[Jondalar]

i love this post:

MOONLIGHT is the popular hit off this record - i know because i play it constantly and even sing it to people in the bars of Silverlake - it's a very peculiar and hard to categorize song - just as Stevie's first hits were - as is Italian Summer, which i just played for a friend whom i pulled into the car and played LOUD off my new IYD cd....expose this record to people and it will take off...Christ! must we remind people that FLEETWOOD MAC took exactly ONE YEAR to reach #1!!!!!!! No one remebers that Warm Ways was actually the 1st single off FM and it flopped.....IYD is a great record - that's the important thing...

[Ghost_Tracker]

She was a bit off at first, probably nerves, but I really liked both performances. She looked great despite the fact she's still sick. I think she was awesome.

I thought she seemed a little nervous too.

It reminded me of something she said before performing several years back -
I think it might have been before doing Rhiannon at the piano for
VH-1 but "don't quote me on that."
Anyway, she said, "And if you don't think I'm just - - SHAKING at the knees???
You're WRONG!"

(Or something very close to that.)

I bet it was a combination of her knowing that she's not quite up-to-par yet,
and it being live. (Considering how many millions of people were watching.)

Come to think of it - - Has Stevie ever "gone solo" on live tv with millions of people watching, before this?

[DoubtfulMiracle]

I was finally able to see the videos on YouTube. Not the disasater I was expecting. She didn't sound great on Secret Love, but she definitely got better as it went, and it didn't seem to languish as much as some of the other live versions they've done. I actually mostly enjoyed it. With Stevie in full voice, it would have been excellent.

And Landslide was pretty close to awesome, notwithstanding that she still sounds a bit congested. I don't think there's any question as to why it's her go-to TV performance song - it's memorable, always goosebump-worthy, and something she still sounds great on after all these years.

[cristochango]

Did anyone else notice how she started earlier on Secret Love then usual?

[xxxmx]

She started did start early, but maybe that was a show request to save time?

I was expecting to be horrified. Aside from some shaky vocals, I thought it was a good performance. She did less miming, and that is a good thing. Way to pimp yourself out, Mama. Sell that record!!

[mikebise]

Stevie looked so happy! I wonder if she loves that show~ and the cute guys!!! :xoxo:

[Lee]

Yeah, I thought Secret Love sounded rough :sorry:, but she sounded good on Landslide. She still sounds like she's still not fully recovered from her sickness, but she did look really happy, probably because she knows how popular DWTS is & how many people will be watching. It's good PR for her. I hope the rumors about her being on AI are true. Then I'll catch her on that, too. :nod:

I have a picture set as a background on my work computer of Stevie last night on DWTS doing her hand wave. If you google Stevie Nicks on DWTS, you'll see alot of pics from the show of her last night.

I liked seeing those goofy judges dancing around on "Secret Love". I'm sure they do that with all the guests, but it sure seemed liked they loved Stevie!

[kathy1]

i loved both of her performances last night.

[Tango]

No one in TV land cares how pretty Stevie looks on TV--she is ill, her voice is off and she should not be performing until she is well.

[tinaboo2]

Stevie looked amazing last night and I loved everything about her performance. The judges loved her too. I hope this will boost the album sales. She is fabulous! In my eyes she can do no wrong. Her words inspire and heal me.

[pattyfan]

Stevie's performances were fine, but now I know why I have never seen DWTS. God, how cheesy was that to have dancers (guys with their shirts open too ) dancing around on stage while she was singing. Anyone remember Solid Gold from the 80's? The Solid Gold dancers? This it the 10's version of that. Yuck!

[tinaboo2]

I agree about the dancers....just terrible. It really detracted from Stevie.

[Spoinny]

I agree about the dancers....just terrible. It really detracted from Stevie.

It's called DANCING with the stars, hence the dancing :) (as cheesy as it was).

[joe]

...I hope the rumors about her being on AI are true. Then I'll catch her on that, too. :nod:

Yeah, in which case, I hope she DOES Landslide or something older that she can handle. Can't imagine being on AI and doing a rough and shaky version of a new song. I'm sorry, just the past few performances on TV of SL haven't sounded good to me. They've sounded ok in concert though. I realize she's sick but then how come she can belt out Landslide with no problem? SL isn't exactly a difficult song to sing.
