Special About Stevie? . . . .
 

OKAY so HERE'S a simple-sounding question just for fun -

I thought this might get an interesting discussion going, hopefully! :)

What is it, exactly, that is so special about Stevie??? :nod:

I think this could be illuminating! :thumbsup:

( P.S. - No Over-the-Top Steviebashing, please... :distress: )

Have fun! :D

Good Question. I find Stevie special because in concert at one moment, she could be rocking out like nobody's business and the next, steal your heart in a touching love ballad. Plus she has so much class.

You can really tell on stage she just loves doing what she does. It comes across in her body language and her face lights up with huge smiles.

She lets you into "her world" through her songs like a gifted songwriter should and tells a story.

Her songs appeal and touch so many people. You feel like she wrote the song just for you or that she is passing on her wisdom and love to you through her songs.

Fun question
 

I guess, for me, the thing that makes Stevie so special is that she is one of the very, very few songwriters who has the ability to really "get to me."
And the ONLY one who's ever been able to do that on a consistent basis... and for decades, no less.

She writes songs that speak to my personal experiences, while also enlightening me and showing me new ways to look at life and love.
Within each of her four minute "worlds," she can tear me down and build me back up again.

And she does it all with these unusual little songs, and that strange, strange voice.

That is what is so special about Stevie, to me. :nod:

I can sum up my answer in one word: inspiration. She has motivated me to do so many things that have scared me before and has always been a sort of support system to me; and collecting memorabilia is a great hobby.

I also second everything Mr. Stew said above. Stevie has the ability to speak to me in ways no other singer/songwriter has. I love everything about her, she is the total package to me and I will love her forever because of what she has meant to me through some very rough times. I will always get defensive and make no mistake, I don't care what others say, she will always be special...

The very first thing that caught my attention was Stevie's voice. I've always loved singer's with a raspiness (is that word?) in their voice. Then I saw her beauty and I have been hooked ever since.

Unique. Classy. Talented. "touch your soul" songwriting. Gorgeous. Timeless.

yep. I happened to sit down with my aunt to watch The Dance the night it premiered on MTV and I really didn't pay attention until I heard those cowbells. I turned around and saw that golden shawl. By the time she did the GDW growl, I was completely taken in. The very next day I bought every single tape and cd I could find with her voice on it. My, how far I've come since then.

all some of my very favorites. G&G is so fab.

To me she is very special. very talented,gifted songwriter, I love her way of telling you a story, through her songs, especialy at her live shows with her dancing and her hand movements.I love songs with story telling, as a country song. i've never seen anyone else, especialy today can do that.She can tell you a story in all music genders like Rock,Country,Blues and I hope not RAP Crap.lol.
if so that will be my first rap cd, lol. Oh god I hope not...

:thumbsup:

Ya note of buying cd's, Stevie and Fleetwood Mac are the only ones I buy. or in a once in the blue moon maybe some oldies cd's. and the other artist are not worth $15.00 for one or two good tunes.Stevie and FM can build a cd with all good tunes, not like these days zero talent artists. they suck period.....

I've been asking myself that for decades. :shrug:

What she said. :thumbsup:
