When is Stevie going to be on Oprah?
 
I think every artist in the free world has been on Oprah, but when is Stevie gonna get her turn? It would give her tremendous exposure and it would certainly help album sales, especially if she releases the Soundstage CD/DVD. Hopefully her time will come soon...any thoughts on this?

I don't think she will be on. I think she's past the point in her career where she'd make that show. But I think she's always welcome on Ellen.

Haha, I agree...

Today I was watching Oprah, and Mariah Carey was on because her new hit "Touch My Body" just surpassed Elvis' record of 18 #1 hits or something...

and I was wondering... why doesn't Oprah have on a female vocalist with some real talent, like Stevie Nicks!

I wonder if Stevie hates Oprah as much as I and, that's why she's not on her show.

I won't even go there about Oprah. Too much, too deep.

:eek:

I think La Nicks could command any show presence she wanted. Oprah, however, is not really geared to La Nicks style. She likes to do two songs and maybe 10 miuntes of chat to promote a record. I do think she could have gone on Oprah with the Ipod for the soldiers thing. I think it is more likey she would do The View.

I wouldn't count on Stevie ever being on Oprah. I don't get the impression that Oprah has any clue who Stevie even is. Billy Joel was on a couple weeks back and it came off as if Oprah had JUST been told who Billy Joel is. She seemed clueless as to anything about him. I think it would be the same with Stevie.

Nobody's saying it. But I will. I tend to think O would have more interest in Mariah Carey due to Mimi's mixed race background. I don't know if I have ever picked up a vibe through the years that O has any major interest in rock music. But certainly, Rosie and Ellen, Letterman, etc have alot to say about Stevie.

But, I think here might be one way for Stevie to get a platform toe-hold onto an Oprah appearance. O does a show about benzodiazopene addiction, and has Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil on and Stevie is a brief guest to talk about the painful rehab and her blackout at that baby shower. That could work. But I don't think O would ever have her just for the sake of having her on to sing 'Stand Back'.

I tend to disagree... I think Oprah and Stevie have a lot in common:

-They are roughly in the same age bracket.
-They both struggle with their weight.
-They both love and indulge in the finer things in life.
-They both love lap dogs.
-They are both ardent supporters of charities.
-Oprah loves divas.
-Stevie has an interesting life story to tell.

And although Oprah loves her sistahs, she has had other non-black musical guests like Carly Simon, for example (although, I guess Carly is technically octaroon since her grandmother was half-black). True, Oprah is not a big fan of rock music, but she surely must know/love "Stand Back."

I think it would be far more interesting to see her do the Charlie Rose show on PBS, which would make sense since Soundstage would be aired on the same network.

Yeah, I did remember the Carly appearance. Here is another idea for an O show that Stevie could pop in on.

"Dealing with menopause while in the limelight. Celebrities talk about hot flashes, moods and thoughts on getting older. Today, on Oprah."

I saw David Cassidy on Oprah. Of course, maybe he doesn't count as a rock star.:)
