There was a time when Stevie could have sung a killer “Suspicious Minds” or “Blue Moon of Kentucky.”

Funny that’s the last time anybody gave a **** about your nasty opinions. You’re like a broken record. All you do is embarrass yourself. This board will be a lot better place without you.

UnwindedDreams 05-24-2022 06:02 AM

Maybe this was what she worked on with Greg Kurstin last year.
Did Elvis cover Unchained Melody? Maybe she'll do that

DownOnRodeo 05-24-2022 07:12 AM

I think what JohnL means is, we can't go on together, with suspicious minds.

Hey mods, I'm fairly certain that this falls under "personal attack". He's wishing for my death on your board. Are you cool with this?

Michele- and for the record, he altered his post. It originally said, "this board will be a better place when you're dead and gone".

Come on now. I have been cursed to hell (literally). I was also told to never talk to Sisternightrod because I was not around long enough. And another time personally attacked because one of Stevie's photos with her brother I said it looked like they were drugged out and stayed up all night.

IF you're able to understand the rules of this board, the band is fair game for criticisms and the like. WISHING FOR THE DEATH of board members is not.

But thanks for your support. :(

Just absolutely ridiculous. I think you’re projecting.

Watch, she'll sing "Can't Help Falling In Love."

Kacey Musgraves has that one. Interestingly the soundtrack also contains original songs, but I'd have to assume Stevie is more likely to be involved with an Elvis cover.

BombaySapphire3 05-25-2022 09:46 PM

She sang the Elvis cover "Don't Wear My Ring" for the VH1 Divas Las Vegas special in 2008. Given how lazy she has become about recording anything new she may just formally release that one.

Regardless of any feelings about Stevie's "laziness," they are definitely not throwing something from Divas Live onto a Baz Luhrmann soundtrack...but a studio recording of that song is certainly possible.

hmmm.. maybe Stevie has a song about how Elvis came to her in a dream in her Presidential suite as her dress was being carried over the oriental carpet.....:shrug:

nah, I'm sticking with Stevie, her dream, Elvis and the Kennedys:eek:

UnwindedDreams 06-10-2022 01:05 PM

Surprise, Stevie's not singing an original song. She's singing a song called "Cotton Candy Land" with Chris Isaak.

Jondalar 06-10-2022 01:50 PM

Stevie is singing a duet with Chris Isaak called Cotton Candy Land. Here is the original. Its different.

When was this exactly?

I still can't believe that it was acceptable for John to say the Ledge would be a better place if I was dead and gone. Not sure what happened to the modding here....because that was clearly outside the rules here.

So with one minute and thirty nine seconds we'll probably get 3 seconds of Stevie and one minute and thirty six seconds of Chris Issac. (The Stevie/Issac preview is available and it's a snippet but it contains way more of him than her)

Boy you just can’t help yourself here can you? You have to stir the pot even when there’s nothing to stir it about. All I said is this board would be a lot better place without you. That doesn’t mean I wish you harm or dead. What a joke. Can you just go back to the other boards and leave us Stevie fans alone please? I don’t see the point of always coming here and being nasty. All you wanna do is make trouble.

You're the one that comes here name calling. I've never called you anything. And you DID write that, and then edited your post.

Wow Stevie’s voice sounds super rough on that 30-second snippet that was posted. I wonder if she chose to sound like that all the way through.

Could be. Seems it's a sort of Cheek to Cheek(Gaga and Tony) flavor. I.E. Gaga's voice takes on a character.
I like how Stevie's voice. I this Chris' voice is basic and has no life to it.

Andyleo 06-14-2022 01:48 AM

Yuk! Awful. Horrible. Won't be owning that one. Soz Stevie, but no...:shocked:

DownOnRodeo 06-14-2022 06:29 AM

It's thoughtful of her to count "One, two, three" at the start, to give you a chance to rush to turn it off. :lol:

Many years ago when I was relatively new to the board. We were engaged in some sort of debate back and forth (all polite and exchanging of ideas) and someone who I believe still frequents the board told me I was never to talk to you again. I was not around long enough to engage you in communication. There are definitely cliques on this board and when you engage someone in that clique, the "mean girls clique" get jealous and come for you. I proudly don't belong to any clique and everyone and everything is fair game for conversation. I dont care if someone is new or been here for 20 years. I treat everyone the same and with the respect I would also expect. We all have different opinions and each should be free to share. Roasting someone or even me is funny. I lost count how many times I called myself an idiot on this board. There are some that don't share their opinion but exist here only to prop up the members of the clique. But this board is no different than any other board on the web.

Yikes, that really isn't a pleasant sound.

sleepless child 06-14-2022 09:16 AM

I wonder also why her recorded vocals are not as good as her live vocals. For me hearing Crystal from Practical magic was a bit of a turn off. Her vocals were not that great. I haven't cared for her recorded vocals much after that.

BigAl84 06-14-2022 11:52 AM

She's really carved herself a niche of guesting on really unmemorable duets and I struggle to even call them duets. It's usually a verse and some harmony and thats it.

David 06-14-2022 11:58 AM

The clip is so brief that a judgment is barely possible, but I like those few seconds. I’m the opposite of sleepless child in that I prefer the studio vocals to the live vocals lately. The studio seems to give Stevie more dynamic space, and she doesn’t have to compete with a band onstage to be heard. Stevie and Chris Isaak have a nice retro gel. When she works with him on an old song, she puts aside her narcissistic “Stevie Nicks” thing (or the song puts it aside for her). Thoughts, JB?

Like that recent track with Elton John?

What did you think of her duet with Henley “It Don’t Matter to the Sun”?

If JB = Me. Then :)

I think she has a really strong voice. The tone quality really suffers from the years of all those "whatevers" we talked about in a different thread.

I like her recorded voice better than live. I really like her on the Neil Finn track, "Find Your Way Back". As far as live goes, she still has the tone quality issues and then you have to add her intonation issues.

Having said all that, if I could sing this functionally in my 70's, and my fans were buying it, I'd hire some writers (like she always does). Then I'd put out an album and do FINAL tour.

I didn't know anything about it and honestly find it very weird since we've joined The Ledge in the same period in 2014.
Also I don't belong to any particular "clique" (this term feels a little "high school").
I think it was someone who had some personal issues with you and used the occasion to get back at you.

Cotton Candy Land is posted on youtube now. I'll respect The Ledgie rules and not post a link to a current song.
