Popular Stevie opinions....
 

That voice. That freakishly amazing voice that sometimes just leaves me frozen in awe.
She's a rock and roll hippie. ;)
She is hilarious in interviews.
She really cares about our troops.
She writes obscure lyrics, but the words sound so beautiful together.

Well GEEEZ i could go on and on! :)
 

Uhm, actually at the moment I only have three.

1.) Stevie.

2.) Wrote.

3.) Gypsy.


( Please consult your History of the Universe textbooks right under "Christine Wrote Songbird." )

My opinion, of course, is not that they wrote these songs; but the respect they deserve because of that.

Ain't it a bottom-line kinda thing??? :shocked:

I don't see the other thread as being negative. Many people wrote "unpopular" opinions that were actually flattering/positive to Stevie.

Anyway, my obvious popular opinion is that when Stevie is on her game, no one can sing, move, or entertain like she does. :)

Best. Profile. Ever!

double-damn. you beat me to it. :thumbsup:

Stevie's a witch! :nod:

Just the fact that she connected with me at a very spiritual level as a 6 year old boy when all I shouldve cared about then was Sesame Street and stuff like that. How does one explain that?:)

I love her laugh!! So sinister yet sexy :lol:

She IS, in our minds, One People's 50 Most Beautiful EVERY YEAR!!!!!

she's had at least one abortion

OOH I like that picture Jason!:thumbsup:

thanks:thumbsup:

Isa it from Australia?

I believe you're joking Sapphire. Could there be some truth to it? It seems Stevie just can't shake that whole witch thing from the 1970's. This witch question keeps surfacing every few years. Of course, Stevie started the furor with Rhiannon, "witchy" dress and top hats. I think she likes the mysterious witch personna.

IU agree with you.

Popular Opinions on "la Nicks":

1) She's adorable, beautiful, and men have fallen at her feet.

2) She has not been terrible wise with the men who have fallen at her feet...(ok, that should be in the Unpopular thread).

3) She's patriotic, loves her country and supports the troops. (But I sense she doesn't want war, but cannot say so because it would be harmful to those injured soldiers she sees during her visits to VA hospitals...another one under "unpopular" opinion on Stevie, perhaps.)

4) She still loves Lindsey - perhaps not lustfully anymore - but perhaps looks to him for approval, like a mentor, than anything else...although I cannot see why, the man is a guitar god and he's gorgeous. To hell with the 30 years passed since the break up - if I were her, I'd be on him like white on rice....I digress.

I can't think of any other popular opinions that fans don't already know. The lady ROCKS!

it is. it's from StreetAngel's video she posted.

You know, one of these days I'll have to get this picture I took of Stevie in Green Bay '04 during Sara where she's right in front of me and its near the end and her head is like tilted back. I'm proud of that one.:)

The "Birds of Rhiannon" Rule!! :thumbsup:

I have to write an article on Stevie for our school magazine about this exact thing, why everyone should love Stevie.

Can you believe it .... I'm STUCK FOR IDEAS!!

Arrggh!! :o

You'll come up with something, I'm sure.:nod:

Of course I'm kidding ;). I met someone recently and I was sharing with her the fact that I'm a huge Stevie freak and she was convinced Stevie was a witch (not a huge fan obviously). I still get a kick out of that. Of course I told her otherwise but people will beleive what they want. I forgot that a lot of people still actually think that. In Stevie's words:
"I'm not a witch, get a life!" :laugh:

I forgot to mention in 1976, after the release of Rhiannon, some religious fanatical group(s) actually wanted Stevie Nicks and FM music banned from the airwaves and wanted a boycott of their records. They claimed Stevie was either a witch or under the "influence" of one. Of course it never got any where. It all seems so ridiculous and silly now.

I just found this at a Stevie Nicks FAQ site

5.4 Q: Is Stevie a witch?

A: Stevie always denies being a witch in interviews.
Her most recent answer to this question, given on a Yahoo chat on
April 28 1998, was: "I have no idea what precipitated those rumors...
I am not a witch. Get a life!"She was born into Episcopalianism, and went to several Catholic schools

I knew Stevie had uttered those memorable words, but I didn't know exactly where or when.

i only have one
the most important one


she's a sexy bitch!! :eek: :lol:


and she wrote Street Angel :laugh:

Street Angel...can I hear it please??
 

Aren't we all here? Is anybody already bringing popcorn for the next sabbat?

My popular opinions:
- she was mesmerizing during the Dance from second one, even only showing her back
- she seems two find particularly inspiring the color Blue...
- She loves ballet :thumbsup:
- She's a lady from the Mountain
- The spirit catcher had a lot of work to do to calm souls during SYW recording.
- She's very sopportive of younger talented artists.
- She didn't want to be a cleaning lady
- Thankfully Lindsey left her alone during that famous night in Aspen.
.... and so on...

Romy

She was under the influence of a lotta things. Witches ain't one of 'em!

Uhm, just outta curiosity, where does she keep her cauldron while she's touring??? And I suppose Sulamith is her "familiar?" :shocked: :thumbsup: ;)

:laugh: good one!:laugh: That will be my "ledge laugh of the night, thanks.:thumbsup:

OH MY GOD
i am clearly not curtis
but your post offends me :eek:
YOU HAVE NOT HEARD STREET ANGEL?
you must go to Stevie confessional RIGHT NOW

the whole friiggiiiin album rocks
yes i MAY be a LITTLE bit biased
but you want ROCK..........you get rock
you wanna be a bit depressed, you can be that too :thumbsup:

I don't know why Curtis likes it
I personally like the album coz i can turn it up loud and rock to it.
Especially Love Is Like a River
And what's not to love about Blue Denim........Never to be, not you...not meeeeeeee :(

as for SA the song...well i like it coz it's very visual
and dark and angsty
and that's what i like
and because you can take it as a suicidal song
and it's depressing
but you can also take it as a song about loving someone so much that you know the only way to help them is to remove yourself from their life NOT necessarily by death :lol:
but the real reason i love this song is because i wanna be a street angel. i AM one :rolleyes: Stevie wrote this song fer MEEEEEEE :shocked:
i've had a lot of **** happen in my life. i'm perceived as the weird one amongst my friends which i don't mind and i'm happy to float around and do **** whenever I feel like it regardless of what people's opnions of me are.

Street Angels aren't like anyone you know...They do what they want & they go where they go

i like that nomad imagery.
and i love this song to death
even though it is not gramatically correct :laugh:

Same idea... different people...
 

The SA album is terrific -- my favorite of all her albums. Best collection of songs, & it also has a nice low-key quality to it. The title song is a plaintive cantabile, very pretty.
There's nothing wrong with that line grammatically.

While we're on the topic of SA, I don't think it's her best album (in fact it's probably my least favorite) but that being said it's still a great album by my standards and any true Stevie fan should own it.

StreetAngel86 - I love your description of the song Street Angel and why it means so much to you. That is my favorite song on the album and can relate to it for many of the reasons you stated. Thank you for being so articulate. It feels great when someone can relate to a song on a similarly deep level, especially when a lot of others don't appreciate it. I wish more people understood the song as you and I do. The sadness, imagery, haunting story, music, and vocals. It is one of her best IMO. I'm definitely a Street Angel!

Wow David, I'm shocked that you think SA is her best album :shocked:. I really value your opinion and since that's not the most popular one I'm fascinated. You really think the writing, songs, and vocals are Stevie at her best or is it just the collection of songs overall you like?

I remember buying SA and OSOTM on the same day. I had never read any reviews or heard anything negative when I opened it and put it on to play. I never once thought it was SO dreadful and horrible. I actually liked all the songs and loved most of them. Had I never heard so much talk about it being a critical flop, etc. I would never have imagined it was any less than any other solo album. It's got hits and misses, but it is, to me, a great album that I cherish.

I remember when it first came out- I was so excited- then so disappointed. :shrug:

and that's ok. different strokes for different folks. I was more disappointed, initially, with SYW. It took me a good 2 weeks to get into that album. SA is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, I don't think.

But, I really don't care what anyone else thinks. I like it and that's all that matters.

I guess just the collection of songs overall, & the relatively straightforward arrangements. I think the writing is as good as on the bulk of her other solo albums. The vocals? Eh. .. okay, better than on Other Side Of Mirror because the willful disavowal of vibrato isn't as present on Street Angel, which leads to a head-coldy tonelessness on Mirror & Timespace tours.

Really, the vocals I dig the most are on her '83 & '85 solo albums, where she was able to hit tone far more frequently than in later years, yet nevertheless added rocky, snotty textures & timbre via intensified vibrato & arpeggiated pyrotechnics.

Yeah...what David sa:lol: id....
