She has made a nice chunk of change from that song. Everything is coming up Stevie nowadays. She has stood the test of time.

[Macfanforever]

Thats great.Maybe Stevie could pop up on the show.

[Macfanforever]

I just saw the performance.They were great .I'll be uploading the clip about an hour.

I almost forgot about it as I was getting ready for Adele's Special at 10pm.

[Macfanforever]

After watching that I can tell that Gwen has borrowed
more from Stevie's repertoire than her songs.

[SisterNightroad]

Am I the only one that think Gwen doesn't have the right voice to cover this song?

[annabellee]

That was crap. And I like Gwen. But that was crap.

[MikeInNV]

I didn't like it either.

[lilyfee]

That was crap. And I like Gwen. But that was crap.

Agreed. The guy wasn't bad but Gwen didn't seem connected to the song enough to cover it.:distress:

Also, was I the only one a little miffed when Gwen said something to the effect of, "You guys are great songwriters, Don Henley and Stevie Nicks"? Like, isn't it common knowledge that Stevie wrote this song, first of all? And just to say that so casually as though it's a surprise to find this (famous song), as if these people aren't legends. But maybe that's just me.:shrug:

I think her voice is OK, but those stupid "affectations" she put down destroyed it.

[SisterNightroad]

I think her voice is OK, but those stupid "affectations" she put down destroyed it.
I didn't mean it that way, actually I think her voice has managed to remain relatively consistent throughout her career (fact that is uncommon) but she uses all those "affectations" as you call them that may work well with her Rocky Pop kind of music but can't deliver well such a delicate country allad.

[Macfanforever]

I thought they were fine.I did not look at the technical part of it seeing if if it was a carbon copy of Stevie and Don's version.

[gldstwmn]

Jeffrey Austin's vocal sounds a lot like Bobby Martin's on the Rock A Little tour:

That said, I didn't care for Gwen's vocal all that much.

[rubylounge]

Am I the only one that think Gwen doesn't have the right voice to cover this song?

I like Gwen, but not for this song. The guys voice was much better suited for this song.

[iamnotafraid]

I like Gwen also. I have all of her work with No Doubt.
But she has less vocal range than Stevie. And that's saying
something.

[SisterNightroad]

That doesn't mean anything, however Gwen's range is 3 Octaves, while Stevie's is 2 octaves and something.

[iamnotafraid]

Louder doesn't mean range.

[aleuzzi]

Jeffrey did a great job with it. Gwen wasn't the right pairing for him, at least in a song like "Leather and Lace," where there has to be a genuine intimacy between the voices. I'm not sure their two voices would mesh in other circumstances, but they certainly don't here.

[Steviegirl]

Sigh. There have been so many signs of the apocalypse lately. :distress:

[SisterNightroad]

Louder doesn't mean range.
I don't understand?

[Jondalar]

Gwen cannot sing that song. She is horrible.
