Stevie is also 60, in Fleetwood Mac, plays no instrument, has no family or children to take care of, and yet we're supposed to put her on her own lowered expectations scale? I just don't think that's ok at all. I love her guys (she's why I'm here), but she needs to lose the attitude, entitlement, and get her game back on. I mean, Ann Wilson is also a woman about her age, she's been in the business about as long, she's had weight and health battles too, she is a single mother of young children, yet she totally rocks out and belts vocals like she's in her 20s, with gratitude and a smile. I just want Stevie to be happy again, for her to be comfortable in her skin, and to enjoy being in the band the way that the rest of the Macsters are these days. It's really not too much to ask at all...  |
Ok, You got me thinking with this one-lol, I love Ann Wilson & Heart! I agree that she does still rock out. And she does it with authority. I dont compare Ann & Stevie because really, for the most part Ann has kept her voice, but sadly Stevie has lost her voice.
I loved Stevie's voice in the 70's, it was a fascinating instrument. And by the time it deepened, around Tusk, I still thought it was great. For whatever reason, that voice is gone for the most part. Listening to her now is like a study in control. She is doing the best she can to preserve her voice & pull off a 2 1/2 hour show. I sincerely dont think it's about attitude simply because I am convinced Stevie is a lovely gracious lady.
