So true. It's a rather cardboard version of the song. But I didn't expect much anyway.

You didn't see the 'Freaky Friday' remake? She sings in that.

It comes out December 6th.



I wouldn't expect anything less.
Ok, i wasnt going to partake in this, but since you apparently think it isnt the worst thing ever, I might listen to it once to give it a chance

I saw that, but I don't really remember her singing. It didn't make an impact on me either way. For some reason, I don't even associate the bleach blonde, tanorexic party creature she is now with the girl in that film.

Sigh. Could have been worse... Amen to the cardboard comment though.

I find myself thinking of the new version of Alice Cooper's Poison. They took all the kick-ass out of it and replaced it with sugar sweetness and over production. Sickening stuff all round.


By the way, I heard a cover of Stand Back in a shop at the weekend ... sounds a bit like Lulu? Never heard of it before...

It was.....blah. Thats the best way I can describe it. I have no issue either way for someone covering Stevie Nicks, because if I dont like it, I just wont listen. But my reaction to Lohan's version of Edge is just...blah. The first time I heard Stevie's Edge...the voice alone made me go.....AHHHHHHHHHHH. This just makes me go.....oh. At least my curiousity is satisified, thanks Dissention.

It has a certain ... something ... I don't know what. Can you put your finger on it?

I could but I won't. Maybe the arrangement would sound less terrifying listening to the whole thing. Maybe she should have chosen Big Love, limiting her performance to the end.

It's pretty fluffy, but I was expecting worse.

It's OK. Not nearly as bad as I thought. A bit too breathy for me (is that a real word? breathy?) I'd probably rather someone with better pipes do it, but I don't mind it. I won't change the station if it comes on, and I hope Stevie gets a bit more exposure with the kids these days through this. And makes a bunch of cash.

Well, if those less fortunate hundred people wrote brilliant songs that became iconic enough to help the launch of a young artist, I'd agree. But if the choice is between Stevie and some other ultra rich artist, I prefer Stevie. And it's good for her image too.
