I actually thought this performance was very good and loved seeing her sense of humor come out with Ellen ! Crossing my fingers everyday she reschedules the east coast dates SOON!

Thanks for posting that CADreaming. I had not seen it, so greatly appreciated. I thought she sounded good, although not up to par to the Oprah show (I seem to differ in that respect to many others, I thought Oprah she sounded and looked great!), but you can definitely tell that she is ill.

For being ill, and still recording this show, she did great in that sense. When I'm ill, I'm a baby, home in bed.

Really good performance...and I also differ from many others because I am a fan of the song (Secret Love)!

I didn't think her performance was bad, but the hand motions have really GOT to go. If she wants to do the flowy movements that's fine, but all of the like kindergarten hand signs stuff seriously is distracting and it looks like she's trying really hard to remember what motion to do next. :/

She looked great Stevie looks awesome in red.

Some could... She needs something to occupy her hands... I know.. Grab the tambourine you've been neglecting!

Thanks for posting this. I missed out recording it on the DVR. Stevie sounded a little rough, but sexy. Ellen with that shield thingy LOL.

Thanks so much for posting. I have to say I also give her alot of credit for performing because she clearly was still sick. I have doubts that she could do an entire show. It just might set her back. That happened back in 2001 on the TISL tour, and she was ten years younger then.
We expect perfection from her, she is just human after all. I know alot of people on this board were disappointed when she cancelled in NY, but I truly believe that she dosent cancel shows lightly. Stevie showed what a gracious person she is on this brief clip. I dont feel she owes me anything because I am a fan.
In fact, even if she dosent tour behind this new CD, it would be a shame, but I can play this music all I want. And that's a gift that dosent fade away.

I wonder if Stevie and WB are planning on doing a slow burn/build-up with this album. Stevie did say she planned on "being with this album" for awhile, and "Secret Love" is still moving up the AC chart.

Class act, right here!
I know, from experience how taxing pneumonia can be, and I must say, Stevie was a real trouper for pulling through. She is visibly feeling weak at the end of the performance, yet she pulled it off with true Stevie class! Another reason to love this woman!

[henryscutter]

LOL what would this board be without people nitpicking Stevie to death? I thought it was a fine performance. She probably wanted to perform the new songs at the concerts she had to cancel before doing them for the first time on TV. I do agree they need to get a new single out soon. She does look great and her interaction with Ellen was both adorable and funny.

[sparky]

She looks adorable. And how ironic that I work on the lot 3 stages over and couldn't
go! I even have friends on the crew. But we tape at the same time and I was running my show and couldn't leave.

There's always the Wiltern!

Three cheers from me for every word of this, my friend! I can't believe people are still being bitchy and cynical about whether she's ill or what she has/had. Just look up 'pneumonia' and you'll see that it's a formal diagnosis that covers a very wide range of debilitation.

I feel dead sorry for everyone who's got major plans and money outlaid for concerts that are still up in the air, though.

I know it's just a copy of the black one she wears so much lately, but red is my favorite color on her & I think she should wear it more often. And even some white & blue too. The black is just boring anymore.

This. I love her just for the mere fact of the red dress and those awesome boots.

Now, just don't cancel my show on Saturday, Stevie...

[sleepless child]

I hated having to wait so long to see her. Almost the whole hour with J-Lo. But with Stevie being under the weather, she may not have wanted a sit down interview. I loved the red dress and I thought she sounded great. I could tell she wasn't 100% but anyone that didn't know she had been ill probably couldn't tell. I'm not crazy about the arm gestures. It's too much. I'd rather she just hold on to the mic stand. I loved the little interview. Stevie was so sweet. And gracious. Thanking Ellen and Rod for letting her promote her music. They were probably thrilled to have her.
