Brooke Shields on T.S. - crying or lauging?

[JazmenFlowers]

I really kind of got the feeling Brooke was seeing Stevie up there looking fab, sounding fab and emitting tons of fab and, in her own fandom, was overcome with joy and emotion - especially during landslide

Oh so thats the lady they keep panning to in the video. I didn't really care....she didn't know the lyrics. Waste of film.

I really think she was laughing at something during STAND BACK, looked like an embarassed laugh as someone mentioned. I really dont see anyone getting emotional during STAND BACK

I totally agree except I thought it was mostly during "Stand Back."
weird how we saw the same exact thing at different times.
Anyway, long story short - Brooke's DEFINITELY a fan!

I think she was emotional simply to see Stevie back on stage for the
first time since her Dad's death.
Guys, this was a really, really big deal for Stevie.
And P.S. she almost didn't go on.
That's why she was on later than she was scheduled to, I think.
So I think maybe Brooke - and everyone else who was crying -
was just so relieved and happy to see her hit the stage dancing once more.
That's the way it seems to me anyway.

How do you know this? Did Stevie tell you that herself?

Why would Brooke Shields, or anyone else (besides us) even be aware her father died? Why would that get Brooke so emotional? And based on the concert performances at the beginning of the week, it seems Stevie went on right on schedule. I don't mean to offend, but I think you've been drawing some pretty melodramatic conclusions about Stevie and her reaction to her father's death ... based on... I'm not sure what? Please enlighten, because you seem to have some pretty deep inside information...

Presumably because it was such a big deal for Stevie ( in a way )
and since because it was her first show back, since. . . .

She was making a weird face and I kept thinking to myself, why isn't she singing along, doesn't she know the words, or what? Who doesn't know the words to those songs? Especially if they keep showing her on the screen. WTF? I can't be too hard on Brooke though, because she's a good friend to the gay community. I just thought it was bizarre.

Okay, thanks for that enlightenment. I did forget that Stevie had mentioned her dad's death. HOWEVER, I still don't know how Ghost_Tracker knows that Stevie almost didn't go on. And the comments come just a few days after Ghost_Tracker posted that it was possible Stevie was going to collapse and die from her grief. And so I re-pose my question to him/her: how do you know Stevie wasn't going to go on? (BTW, this isn't an attack. Just a question).

Yes, I'm sure Brooke Shields cried (which I didn't see at all, but so many claim that she did for some reason) because Stevie was making a glorious return to the stage!!1!!11! so soon after her father's passing. Puhleeze. This wasn't about Stevie Nicks, it was about helping victims of one of the greatest natural disasters in our country's history.

And where are you getting your information? Stevie almost didn't go on? How do you know? She went on later than scheduled? No, she didn't. Just like you said last week that there has been concern that Ms. Nicks won't get over it and will just wither away. I mean, c'mon.

So you think Brooke Shields, dancing one minute to Stand Back (which she was) would just burst into tears because of the death of Stevie's dad? That's absurd. Why would she go from dancing to tears? She was definetely laughing.

[ragandbone]

Maybe she had to pee, and she didn't want to miss the show.


Just a thought.

Maybe she is pregnant and was about to throw up.

Simply based on a letter she posted on The Nicksfix
about her Dad's death and how it has affected her
and on comments and letters she wrote for the fans
(also on Nicksfix) recently about how sick he was
this entire past year
and how he meant everything to her.
Yes I know she's strong, and she'll get over it,
and all that. I just feel badly for her because
she's indicated that they're very close.
And 7 weeks isn't a long time in grieving -
My Mom's Dad died when my Mom was around the
same age, and she told me that it took 7 years
before she felt normal again.
And they weren't actually all that close.
Stevie's indicated many times in interviews
that they were very close.
And he felt the same way - he could barely talk about her
and her music without getting choked up.
They were Bonnie and Clyde, etc.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound "melodramatic" or something,
but I've just been trying to convey that this isn't business
as usual for Stevie right now.
You don't need to know anyone who knows someone who knows
someone, to see that. So I'm sorry if it came across the wrong
way, I just simply can't help feeling for her, knowing what they
said about how they felt about each other, and what Stevie
has recently publicly indicated about how she is currently feeling.
But I do think that The Today Show performance went
wonderfully well, and if The Australia Thing is for real
then I think that that's a great sign.

But I honestly do feel that we shouldn't take her for granted -
she's fifty-seven, and it's not like she needs the money.
The death of a loved one can often cause one to make
radical life changes. So I'm simply trying to say -

Don't take Stevie for granted.

( )

And if you can find them - they're probably on the Internet -
check out the lyrics to Stevie's song "Amber," which is about
her Dad and how they felt about each other.
You'll see what I mean. I think it's on B/N.net

I can also tell you that I myself felt very emotional during
"Stand Back" as well. It could have been my imagination,
but it seemed to me (and others I've asked) that she
was struggling, especially at the end. I was sitting
there praying that she'd somehow find a way to get through it.
Granted she's a lot older now, don't forget this is the same person
that used to start crying onstage at the drop of a hat!
(for example a performance of Landslide all the way back in the
mid-70s - she started crying and almost couldn't do it, and yet
she's LAUGHING at herself at the same time for being so -
emotional.)

Well, I probably should have stressed that technically I was just
guessing. But I thought I heard Matt Lauer whisper something
about it to Katie Couric, irritably, and Katie C. was like,
"Give her a break, her DAD just died" etc. - I don't know
details there I admit, but the two of them seemed a little
irritable. I definitely admit that may have been my imagination.
But also - I heard that before they went live, Sharon C. did
"Landslide" all the way through, with the other musicians, and
I believe Stevie was not there (onstage). There's been
speculation - and I admit, people were just speculating -
that the reason was, they wanted to see if Sharon could do
it if Stevie was not up to it. That may have been just a
"Sound Check" thing, but I've never heard of a sound check
where the backup singer takes the part of the lead singer.
It also seemed to me that they moved the cooking segment
earlier - that's normally at the end of the show - and I guess I
mistakenly thought that the reason was that Stevie wasn't sure.
So I guess I was flat-out wrong about that.
But me? Seven weeks later? I'd still be a zombie. So I don't blame her if
this was very difficult for her. Three cheers just for doing it.
