Lohan covers Edge of Seventeen

Though we may trade in the commodity of gossip, our real passion is music. And, it's no big secret that one of our idols is Miss Stevie Nicks. We nearly creamed our pants when Lindz told us that she did a cover of Nicks' Edge Of Seventeen for her new album. Not only did Lindsay record the cover with a full orchestra, but she also had Stevie herself sing on the track. Fierceness!!!

Discuss.

Hm.

Does Lindsay Lohan really sing ?

I suppose this could make Stevie some money.

First the natural disasters...now this...oh god, here comes the rapture, well if Stevie played on it it must mean she has some talent because Stevie doesn't associate with talentless hacks.

Haha. GMTA. Seriously though, while the thought of Lindsay Lohan covering Edge of Seventeen makes me cringe, kudos to her for having decent taste. And good for Stevie for embracing all these younger artists that love her and realizing & seizing an opportunity to catch the attention of an audience that she might not otherwise appeal to. Who knows, maybe at some point someone will be introducing themselves on this board saying they were first inspired to check out some of Stevie's stuff because they dug the song on LL's record and wanted to hear the original.

What a bloody horrible song....

I have never heard two voices so unsuited to one another.

Thanks

Unlike most (all) of you, I think this is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Lohan, but I did like her "Rumors" song a lot.

I think it's great because it keeps Stevie "out there". And you know Stevie digs it, as she loves to be a role model for young singers. That being said, I have no idea what Lindsey Lohan sings, what she sounds like, or even looks like for that matter.

(I love to quote myself)

I was referring to the Jesse Camp "song" in that post, of course.

I have yet to hear a cover of a Stevie song that comes anywhere near the original... still, whatever pays for Stevie to fix up her pool is OK with me.

Oh God...
The least I can hope is it isn't as bad as that Landslide atrocity the Dixie Chicks regurgitated a couple years back. I'd smash every copy of that song and bury it on the Moon if I could. I'm sick of people asking "hey isn't that a Dixie Chicks/Smashing Pumpkins/Tori Amos/Drunk lonely guy at the local karaoke bar song?" Felt like smashing something when I read someone complaining about "some awful country star named "Stevie Nicks" butchering Tori Amos's "Landslide"!

, I'm ranting again. It's the rain, I tell ya!

When did Tori Amos cover landslide?

she's covered it lots of times. the best version, imo, is from a radio program in Germany I think. go to hereinmyhead.com, diagnosed sounds and there should be several that you can download.

they are awesome. she's also covered dreams.

I have mixed emotions about this. I'm ok with Lindsay...like Rumors and Over...and actually like her Confessions song. BUT, EO17...eh, I don't know...I'll have to hear it.
