Bette Davis Eyes
 

Has anyone else noticed how this song sounds like Stevie's. The vocals are raspy and the lyrics have refrences to Greta Garbo... Pretty interesting, don't you think? :wavey:

I don't hear it...Kim Carnes sounds more like Rod Stewart on helium, to me.

I'm not saying their voices sound the same. But they are both certainly "weathered" voices.

:lol: Lucinda Williams sounds like Kim Carnes - holding her nose! I love Lucinda, in small doses. :nod:

Kim Carnes did USA for Africa with Lindsey. If she really sounded like Stevie he might have avoided it at the time. ;)

I rember when they played this song at radios (1980?), they said Kim was the "female Rod Stewart"

Stevie's voice is much more appealing to my ears though.

I love her in huge doses. She's 4th on my list of favorites behind Stevie, Dolly, and Maria McKee.

Lucinda is incredible. I really should buy more of her stuff - I only have her latest.

The funny thing is that some people actually think Stevie sings Betty Davis Eyes. I went to download it once and it said Stevie Nicks - Betty David Eyes lol!

I think Essence is her best. She also has a new live CD out which is really great.

Lucinda beat out Stevie on her last Grammy Nom... Think it was for Planets....

:laugh: Good description

I was always waiting for Weird Al to do a parody of this song called
"Marty Feldman Eyes."

Hi How about Bonnie Tyler, I notice people claim on P2P mistake of "Total Eclipes of the heart"and "It's a Heartache" and Kim Carnes .Paulette Carlson from country group Highway 101 in the 1990's. I almost died when I herd Paulette on country radio I though she was Stevie. also she looks like her too.

funny you should mention both Lucinda and Kim together.. they both beat out Stevie for Grammy's in 1982 and 2002... not cool :distress:

Yeah, but the vocal Lucinda won the Grammy for was divine.

Has anyone heard Gwyneth Paltrow's cover of Bette Davis Eyes? I'm ashamed to admit that I really like it. :eek:

That's how I first heard the song and I like Gwen's version better! Who knew she could sing?

The whole Duets soundtrack is pretty darn good...

I HATE Bette Davis eyes :shrug: And Kin Carnes? I always thought it WAS Rod Stewart singing lol - I can't tell 'em apart :laugh:

Must you continuously bring up the Simpering Spectre that is Paltry Paltrow ?

I'll never forget when she wore that horrid dress, and went braless, to the Oscars and Joan Rivers said she looked like she had chicken cutlets for breasts.

When Joan hits a good one, she hits it hard. I also love the name Fishstick, which I first read in a Camille Paglia article on Salon.

I'm sorry. :laugh: I truly can't stand her, but I think she has a pretty, though limited, voice.

That's what she can name her next little Martin spawn, Cutlet. I love it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks, hon...I just had the week from hell at work - I needed that! :xoxo:

OMG, somewhere there must be a recipe for Apple Cutlets.

I was just going to say that if she breeds a little more, she'll have all the ingredients needed for a three course meal. Mama Blythe would be proud, I'm sure of it.

I think he did work with Kim on something else. Off the top of my head I can't remember what it was, but I think they have done other things. Anybody? :shrug:

It's not the first time I've heard Kim Carnes compared to Stevie. I don't hear it. To me, she's much closer in voice and style to Bonnie Tyler (think: "It's A Heartache").

BTW, I love Bette Davis Eyes and It's A Heartache (in fact, when I first heard If You Ever Did Believe, I thought it sounded like It's a Heartache, when Stevie says "have you forgotten meee-eee.."). I just don't think either Kim or Bonnie sounds like Stevie.

My first post here--yay!

I don't think they sound that much alike...
but the actual song lyrics fit Stevie.

Don't ya think?

:wavey: Hi there! Welcome to the board!

Stevie's voice is softer and more cleaner sound then these ladie's are.
I think.I like Kim And Bonnie too.but what ever happen to them,no new music in years from them. Thank god Stevie is still going strong.

Thank you, something about her drives me crazy. :eek:

Her fake English accent?

Yes, it sounds like it could be about her, "she's pure as New York snow". :lol: JK Stevie! But the eyes, those eyes! Bette Davis was known for those bedroom eyes which Stevie has.

and so do I ;)

lol.. funny, i thought "get right with god" was nothing more than a stupid hick song... i certainly wouldn't have even included it in the "best female ROCK performance" category.. but those are the Grammy's for you...

Yeah, after I posted I thought, everything about her drives me crazy. :lol:

Welcome to the Ledge, Stephanie * at least I'm guessing you're the same girl who posts on BN under a similar name lol* :woohoo:

~Marissa~

Yep, it's me!
