Stevie gives her opinion on Cyndi Lauper!
 

From that "I was rockin' in mah crib fer sher" RAL interview...



:)

That was exceptionally cool, thank you so much!

Cool and thanks for posting.

Interestingly, La Nicks in this period is very careful when talking about other stars unlike the interviews in the last five or so years a la the Madonna publicity stunt comment.

:thumbsup: Any time, amby.

yeah? I haven't really seen her talk about current celebs all that much. I know she let Madonna have it. The only other time I remember seeing her talk about other stars was when Sandra Bernhardt asked her what she thought of the girl singers of the day (that was around the Enchanted era, I think), and she said they were "all her sisters", or something to that effect. I wonder if she meant that, though, considering the pop acts at that time...

In the Molly Muldrum (sp?) interview for RAL while she was in Australia, she comments of Pat Benatar and Madonna and says something like while they are good, they are much younger than Stevie was. It was, I think, in the context of having to make videos and how she does not like that process because she has to repeat scenes and worry about how she looks. She stresses she is a live performer not an actress.

Ohh, yeah, I have that interview. I don't remember her mentioning that, but I can see where she's coming from.

that was freekin cool. It's nice to hear stevie give props to cindi, shes cool.
Thanks for posting.

That was very cool to see!

Oh yeah, I remember that!
Also, I always thought she was too polite to say "Madonna can't even f*cking sing! :rolleyes: " but really, really wanted to.
If she thought any of the same things I did when Madonna came out. :laugh:

Sorry to the Madonna fans. Although I respect her in some ways, in many I don't. She feels very soulless to me, and always has. Plus, and even worse, she can barely f*cking sing! :laugh: Great videos, though, for sure.

Hahaha, reminds me of the episode of Golden Girls where Dorothy says she will do Hail Marys until Madonna has a hit movie. :lol:

The golden girls are great! thanx so much for posting this...i always wonder what stevie thinks of other artists...i'd like to hear her opinion on marianne faithfull, for instance. great clip, though...she is coked, i think.

I remember watching this in it's original 1985 MTV broadcast.She did seem like she'd been to happy hour.

That *was* cute- thanks for posting.

Incidentally, I read an interview once where Madonna herself(!) acknowledged she was not a great singer. :laugh:

So does La Nicks - she has said more than once that she is not the greatest singer, but knows how to use her self described funny voice - or something like that.

While promoting TimeSpace - She referred to "my funny little voice"

Madonna admitted to a weakness?! Shut up! :D

I thought it was nice... especially since Stevie seemed to really understand where she was coming from at that point in her career. I think a lot of people viewed her as a novelty act during the 80's.

The difference is, Stevie actually has a good voice, and a great ear.

cyndi lauper is a great singer.
madonna can not sing.
stevie nicks was very high during that interview.

True, truer, truest. ;)

:laugh:

hey, where the hell are you?

And, didn't she have a comment about that kiss Madonna shared with Britany Spears? I do not recall what it was but I do recall it wasn't good.

Eating dinner! I'll be online tonight, don't you worry. With more pics. :D

yup, that's the comment I was referring to.

24 September 2003 (WENN)
Fleetwood Mac legend Stevie Nicks has lambasted pop superstar Madonna for kissing Britney Spears at the MTV VMA Awards - deeming she is too old to kiss youngsters. The singer was disgusted when she saw the 45-year old Hollywood hitmaker smooching with the 21-year old in the headline grabbing incident. She says, "Madonna is too old to be kissing someone who is 22 (sic)." And the veteran singer also slammed Spears and fellow Madonna-kisser Christina Aguilera for their raunchy images. When asked what advice she would give the pair, she says, "Wear more clothes and try writing some decent songs."

Yay!! Ooh, I should get that password from my mom.

:lol: Thats our lady - good for her - and I totally agree with everything said :laugh:

Madonna is not a soulful artist...she's a pop star..There's a difference. And you've obviously not been to any of her concerts otherwise you wouldn't make innacurate remarks regarding her singing. The bitch can sing, baby!

if she doesn't rip your head off about it, yay!

Yeah, she can really hit those notes. :lol:

That was cool! Thanks for sharing! Anyone have the rest of this RAL interview? I'd love to watch/listen to it.

Damn, girlfriend seemed really coked out! Loved it nonetheless...

I love hearing her use words like "disenchanted". As messed up as she was she's still our good ole' Stevie underneath it all.

Dumb question but I wonder if she ever watches old interviews of herself and what she would think if she saw something like this where she was obviously a little loopy.

No! I always wonder the same thing when I watch old performances, or listen to interviews. Like that one WH interview where she states she and the gals just got back from Tampa, Florida... "wherever in the world that is!"

Thanks a lot goldustsongbird!

Okay, that totally made my night. I'm a huge Cyndi Lauper fan. When I was taking voice lessons years ago my teacher told me how he hated her whiney little squeaky voice, but people who only know her 80's hits have no idea what an impressive range she has.

word! i'm actually watching the twelve deadly cyns dvd right now.

Right on! Shame they don't have the old Blue Angel videos on there. I just love that album.

Me too. Have you heard Petty's new album? "Down South" sounds just like "I Had a Love."

Yes!!! You hit the nail right on the head. :xoxo:
