The Stevie Nicks "Blue Christmas" ABC TV Special 2009
 

The Stevie Nicks "Blue Christmas" Television Special.

A special only St. Nicks, um... that is Stevie Nicks could
keep under "wraps". A star studded spectacular. Airing
Christmas Eve 2009.

The one hour special includes the following guest whom
will be singing duets with Stevie on some of the Holiday's
most popular songs.

Nicks/ Eddie Vedder "Here Comes Santa Claus".

Nicks/ Nora Jones "Rock' n Around The Christmas Tree".

Nicks/ Lady Ga Ga "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas".

Nicks/ Alan Jackson "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".

Nicks/ Martina McBride "Silver Bells".

Nicks/ Doyle Bramhall II "Merry Christmas Baby".

Nicks/ Duffy "I'll Be Home On Christmas Day".

Nicks/ Shakira "Feliz Navidad".

Nicks solo version "Silent Night".

Nicks/ Chris Isaak "Blue Christmas".

Taped during her down time between tour dates in 2009. Nicks is quoted
as saying "This is just for the fans who've been so loyal to me all these years.
I feel like I owe them something special, and that's why I've kept this thing
so quiet."

There will be short interviews with Stevie and her guest between songs. If
the show goes over well, Stevie plans this to be an annual event.

The event will raise awareness for the Tommy Flanagan Foundation, or
better known as the P.L.A. Ms. Nicks has been a long time member of the
organization. And has served as Chairperson.

Look for this special on ABC Christmas Eve 7:00 p.m. Eastern (check local
affiliates). The event will be tape delayed for the BBC.

Sounds like her best idea yet. Even better than Miley Cyrus covering the entire Bella Donna Album :laugh::laugh:

Well, I hope that Miley will at least make an appearance. She could probably nail O Holy Night. Or, she could just do "The Climb." It's not really Christmas-themed, but it's inspirational!

Maybe Mick could buy an infomerical spot right afterward to sell his wine.

sorry, but is this for real? why am i skeptical? where did you get this info from? am seeing nothing else about this anywhere.

I was thinking the same thing, call me a sceptic.

December fools!!! :lol:

Wow.. this is great news! Where did you find this out? Thanks so much for posting. Gotta check this out as she sings my favorite Christmas carol so beautifully. It'll be nice to see her sing those duets too.

It's fake, dear.

Not true guys....NOT TRUE, haha.

I wish that was true...BUT....really, I don't think it is....Stevie duet with Lady Gaga??? Not sure about that, lol :D :D

Ok.. so I'm gullible... but I can dream.. can't I?

sorry, but who is Doyle Bramhall II anyway??

Please don't tell me there is any truth in that :eek:

No, iamnotafraid was just pullin' our chain when he started that rumor. ;)

It really confusing me when people think something like this could actually be real. You have to remember this is STEVIE NICKS we are talking about.

I Googled the foundation and found nothing hours ago, which made me go hmmm. Then while in my doctor's waiting room, it occurred to me that Lady Ga Ga is the hottest thing in the universe right now, the odds of her sharing her time for a Stevie project are poor, even if they were both Liz Rosenberg clients.
I had never heard of December Fools' jokes, and I'm slow on the uptake today. So score, you got me.

David Banner, David Banner!

He played guitar for Roger Waters alongside Snowy White until he was replaced by Dave Kilminster!

A great player, but look at his "guitar faces", especially from 5:40 onwards!! Obviously he doesn't come close to David Gilmour though...

Nicks/Lady Ga Ga
Nicks/ Shakira
That's funny sh!t.

a word to the (not so) wise: if iamnotafraid posts a "hot off the presses" rumor, um, don't believe it?

Noted. This is what made it BS to me. Funny, but BS.

Thanks Carrie!

I'm glad you remember me breaking the news on Stevie's Soundstage
CD and DVD's.

Carrie's always got my back.

After the debacle of the Cyrus "Bella Donna" project, and the subsequent
cancellation of the Cyrus/Mac Tour, Stevie decided it was best not to involve
Miley.

You can bet that a certain guitar player is a little miffed about being cut
from the show. Stevie didn't like how her duet turned out with" _______
__________ " and she shelved it. Maybe he will get another chance next
year.

Wow... You actually pulled me out of "lurk" for this one ...

I actually believed it for a moment -- and Doyle Bramhall II? Wow. That would've been very interesting and cool.

Also, I have to say, Bramhall wasn't exactly "replaced". He has many projects and was playing (still plays) with Eric Clapton and could not continue playing with Waters on the next tour he did.

Trust me on this. My husband is a freak about Bramhall and I'm a fan as well.

But.. well...would've been cool! Very funny - especially if Lady gaga would've actually done a song with Nicks. THAT would've been even more interesting........... and funny.

Glad I got you out of the "lurking mode".
Doyle Bramhall II...one great guitarist!
He needs to put out another solo album.

If enough people contacted Liz Rozenberg at [email protected] and
copied the opening message of this thread to her, you might be surprised to
find out what's truth and what's not............if you dare.

I'm relieved...mostly because there's no way I would've convinced my family to watch this on Christmas Eve. Also...the Lady Gaga thing.

Why?

BTW, there have been clues to this special since 1985.
Ever notice the dress she wore on the Rock A Little cover?
I could say more, but it would make it too easy for you all.
But there are clues!

iamnotafraid's threads, if nothing else, serve as a nice litmus test for the board.

Oh, apologies, I worded that quite badly!

why do you post things that are not true.

I don't think you could fit all this in an hour anyway. :laugh: Awww, it would have been nice though. :D

Lee :)

Doyle was in the Arc Angels too. Being from Texas, I'm a big fan of Doyle Bramhall II and his dad (who played at my friend's wedding). There's a bit of a Stevie connection:

Doyle also formed a new band, "Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack," and recorded a new album produced by Benmont Tench of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fame. Released in 2001, Welcome marked a renewed focus on guitar.

As a session guitarist, he has worked with Me'shell Ndegéocello, Sheryl Crow and Susan Tedeschi.

I agree with this also.

What gives, Iamnotafraid? Just where do you get this secret insider information? Or have you been forgetting to wash the fruit before you eat it?

Im glad this isnt true lol
stevie nicks doesn't want to associate with lady gaga, no way. eww. lol.

I like to keep my ledgies informed.

Did anyone contact Liz about the new special?

And one update about the show, I got to preview
the Nicks/Bramhall II duet "Merry Christmas Baby"
and it was awesome. They used the same arrangement
that Elvis Presley did, and it blew my mind. James Burton
would be proud.

Shut up :laugh::laugh::p
