Stevie to perform on The Voice *spoilers*
 

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – June 28, 2011 — NBC’s “The Voice” will add rock legend Stevie Nicks, Pat Monahan (lead singer of Train) and Ryan Tedder (lead singer of OneRepublic) to its star-studded live results show and season finale on Wednesday, June 29 (8-9 p.m. ET).
The recording stars will sing with the four remaining finalists for each team. Nicks will pair with contestant Javier Colon, while Monahan sings with Vicci Martinez and Tedder will form a duet with Beverly McClellan. They will join previously announced Grammy Award-winning star Miranda Lambert (who is married to Blake Shelton, one of the series’ musician coaches) who will sing with the fourth finalist, Dia Frampton.

The announcements were made by Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios.

Nicks is a multi-Grammy-winning member of the legendary Fleetwood Mac whose “Rumours” album (Grammy Album of the Year) was one of the biggest selling records in rock history. She is also a Grammy-winning solo artist whose “Bella Donna” debut CD sold well over five million copies. Her current solo CD, “In Your Dreams” — her first studio CD in over a decade — debuted last month at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Nicks is also a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. She has written and performed such classic hits as “Landslide,” “Rhiannon,” “Edge of l7” and “Gold Dust Woman.” She is scheduled to begin a solo tour next month.

Can't wait. Wonder what they will be singing..

Jaaaaavierrrrrr! He's been my absolute favorite contestant since the first night. So excited for this! :blob2:

Surely they'll sing one of Stevie's songs?

I'm sure they will. Two of the contestants have already done "Leather and Lace" so I don't think it will be that one.

SDMHA?

Surely they'd pick an actual duet song, it'd be foolish of them not to when she's got quite a few to pick from, no?

Nice!! I"ve never seen the show but I know it's a hit so that means more exposure for our girl!!!

Goooooooooooooooooooo Stevie!!! :D

This sure is a great time to be a Stevie Nicks fan!!! :thumbsup:

This will be huge. "Dancing with the Stars" aims at a decidedly broad but milquetoast cross section of the populace, but "The Voice" is specifically for fans of music. And what an interesting pairing too. I'm so hoping that Stevie has learned a lesson or two from her last few missteps and will be singing something that she can comfortably scale. It will probably be "Landslide," but perhaps it could be a reworked "For What it's Worth." :shrug: Also, it's rather ironic that a show that is all about the voice is featuring a singer who is far from being a good technical singer.

Since the idea of The Voice is to showcase a new artist, I am going to put money on Insider. Its something we know Stevie can sing well, and it is a Male lead song that she can just sing backup for.

But I wonder if they would do that, since that's technically a Tom Petty track?

I would love it, though. Stevie sounds incredible on that song and it's one of my favorites.

Or they're doing Landslide as a duet.

Please no. Especially not a duet, I can't see how that would logically make sense or sound good.

I haven't watched this show. My 1st thought was "Whenever I Call You Friend" (which could be...interesting in her mature voice), but these reality music shows seem to have a thing for "Rhiannon". "Stand Back" or "Edge" might be smart choices. I don't think the song they do will necessarily be a studio duet if the point is to show off a contestant's voice. Then again, if, as somebody mentioned, "Leather and Lace" was performed earlier in the season, I doubt that will prevent it from popping up in the show now. American Idol always rehashed stuff from earlier in the season on its finales (back when I watched it). So L & L is perhaps the safe bet.
Just please, not "Landslide" or "Secret Love".
Does anyone know, is the song choice up to the show or the contestant? I think if it's up to the contestant, we're perhaps more likely to get a good song choice rather than something safe & bland & over-done like "Landslide".

I'm sure it'll be something simple, like Rhiannon...each one sharing a verse, and singing the chorus together.
