When Lori bowed out, I would have thought The High Priestess would be telephoning Jana Anderson, Mindy Stein, or Liza Jane Edwards to fill the spot. Oh, what the hell, is Elisecia Wright available? What happened to Stepanie "Stevvi" Alexander?

Stevvi is with Barbra Streisand, or at least was for the short tour and a recent event

(can't help the visuals) Stevie's song doing back up.

I never heard this before. thanks for posting. I love Marilyn's voice...

[lilyfee]

Wow, her version of Sorcerer is rockin... It's haunting. I really like her voice. Remember that Stevie really feeds off of other people's energy... I think if she has a big voice to build off of she will rise to the challenge!

she still makes Records her last in 2012 is on spotify

most people know her from this

She is way to vocal for a back up singer. Its like having an annoying Christina Aguilera or Mariah Carey on back up.

If she is too good to be a back-up singer, maybe that's why she has been hired?

To make up for the notes and vocal-range Stevie can't get anymore ...

I can assure you Jana Anderson won't be doing anything with SN/FM anytime soon. If you are her friend on Facebook she has posted some not very flatering comments about her time with SN/FM. She essentially said she treasuresd the time she spent with them but she decided to leave as her talent was not being used. Waddy told her off saying you don't move your arms or dance you just sing. She was told what to wear (Black) etc. She was not happy about some of what went on.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

I never cared for her very much. That duet she did with Phil Collins (if my memory is correct, that was done for the film "White Nights"?) That song, I'm my opinion, is like finger nails on a chalkboard. I abdolutley can't stand it. Then again, I don't really care for Phil Collins, either.

Not sure about telling Jana off, but Waddy did tell Lori not to be moving her arms around:

http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/waddy_2.htm

"I make sure that everything sounds, feels and looks the way it ought to. And that's why I used to bitch at Sharon and Lori (when Lori was on the road with us) and they would be over there doing these "moves" . . . I'd go over there and say, "Girls, cut that **** out!" . . .

"And Lori (Laughing) . . . she'll totally respond and remember this: I went, "Keep that ****in' arm of yours down or I'll cut it off!" She's pointing up in the air and dancing. I went, "This is not a disco." I've got this kind of Bob Fosse thing up my ass where I think I'm in charge of all of it . . . so therefore I am in charge of all of it. And I can't look over at my singers and see them like flailing around, you know? "Get a grip. Keep that arm down!" (Laughing)" . . .

"Yeah, you know doin' them Chi-lites moves and stuff. I have to make sure . . . well, first of all, I have to work on the material, the "set list" with Stevie . . . get it the way she wants. I've got to make sure the band knows every intro, every ending, every chord, the singers know their parts . . . "

And I don't think it's unusual for people on the stage to be told what to wear by the people who pay them.

Excited! I love Marilyn's voice and the two albums that I have.

Jana is on Facebook and posted this long story in response to those asking her if she was going to be on the tour and she said something to the effect that she was told not to move and just f-ing sing. I can't remember the exact word for word quote but it was very close to what I posted including the swearing. She also said once at a rehearsal when it was very hot out she had put on a dress to be comfortable and Stevie said something to the effect of Jana we don't wear dresses on stage (meaning the back up singers).

She has fond memories of her time with FM/SN but she made it clear she is happy doing what she does now.

I would have loved a Marilyn Martin/Maria Vidal reunion. I still have both of their debut CDs, which are out of print and pretty valuable now.
