Lady Video Poll
 
Interesting posts regarding the new "Lady" video. It has hit a lot of nerves with people including the announcement that a long-time "Ledgie" has decided to turn in his or her Stevie Nicks "fan badge." What do you think about the new video?

I like it I did not like the song but I like it with the video reminds me of an old vaudeville singer. and I really like the simplicity of just her in the red curtain

Lord knows, I can be a picky bitch, BUT, I LIKE IT! Call me crazy.:laugh: I like the sparse feel of Stevie in that gorgeous, grand old theater. While there are some lip synching issues, the good outweighs the bad. Although the song was written in 1971 and clearly outlines Stevie's uncertainty of where her life was going at that time, FOR ME, the song now symbolizes THE AGING PROCESS. It's like coming full circle and ending with THE SAME uncertainty that you started with. It's rough, it ain't pretty, but it's real.

I love the song but the video not so much so I went with option number 3.

I like it. It's fine. Stevie doesn't like making videos, so it's better than nothing, in my opinion, but of course it could have been something different.

I really like it. It's not my favourite Stevie video, but it stands up against all the rest of them, at least to me...:p

I like it. It's simple and to the point. And in this day and age why spend millions of dollars on a video when MTV and VH1 only show reality shows ( at least in the U.S)
And really, isn't it about the music? Stevie never liked making videos back in the day.
I can't see that changing in 2014.

:angel:

Ill go with option 1. I love it! I thinks its quite sad and beautiful. Its so simple but the idea comes across. The song is so beautiful and i think the video is a honest portaryal of how,she feels.

It's weird that we only ever see the left side of her face. I feel like I'm watching an Ariana Grande music video.

i like the idea
i like the bare theater with just her so you focus JUST on the song
i don't like how it was shot

I had to go with b. I really like it - the simplicity, the setting etc I just think something could have been added at points - a bit more of Dave even :shocked: or just something to break up the sameness. As someone else said it could have been a lot worse, and this is much easier on the eye (and the brain) than Dave's fast moving videos. Also it does really suit the song. Overall I think they did very well with it.

I'm sure they haven't completely turned in the fan badge. I was pretty disappointed in the video. I could see what they were trying to do with the whole classical performance thing, much like what we're doing in college. But yeah I just thought the vid sucked. But I'm still a fan. This girl isn't giving up her fan badge. They'll be back.:nod:

:eek: WHAT?! Does this mean I'm still gonna be trying to find myself at age 65?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

It's got great imagery, but I kept waiting for something else to happen...like the curtains opening up to something going on behind her, shots to other scenes, etc.
