Landslide on American Idol tonight

Well the girl started off well singing Landslide on American Idol, but then it kind of drifted and got strange. The judges didn't like it, although the SONG did get some good "well, I love that song but..." compliments from the judges, and Randy Jackson did say that it was a "Stevie Nicks" song (is it weird that I like hearing Stevie's NAME mentioned on TV? lol)...What did you guys think?

Oh that excites me beyond belief too.

But that could just be my fever.

I know, right? They totally messed up Dreams too.

You are not alone getting excited just by the sheer mention of "Stevie Nicks" on television. It is just so cool that after all these years, she is still in the sub conscious of pop culture.

And as far as the singing... goes to show that not just anyone can sing a Stevie Nicks song, ya gotta have some talent.

I was hoping for the best, but that contestant butchered the song. It was painful to watch/hear. The only good thing was how all the judges noted their love of the song. It's not only a Stevie classic, in general, it's a world-wide classic.

I remember a few years ago when Tom Petty did the halftime show at the superbowl (I wasn't a big fan of him yet so i didn't know the songs) and Stevie was mentioned as one of the ppl he worked with

<< that's how big my grin was lol. I smile every time i hear her name mentioned at unexpected times.
makes it seem like a have a huge crush lol

I don't even want to think about that performance because it was terrible and for some reason the girls really suck this year. There are a few that i actually like tho.

I nearly hung myself after that performance. Oh it was horrid.

Lacey Brown gets buried for 'Landslide'
9:09 PM By Glenn Gamboa

Lacey Brown has a tough time with Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” She sings behind the beat for a while and her quirky vocals don’t always make a lot of sense. She has a good voice, though.

Randy says it’s terrible and pitchy. Ellen says she’s better than that. Simon says it was depressing and kind of indulgent. Kara says she should go to Sixpence None the...

Just one word went through my head while Lacey Brown covered Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide": forlorn.

We're back and Lacey Brown is up next. She's singing one of my favorite songs! - "Landslide" as performed by Stevie Nicks. It's tougher to win over people with these slower songs, but I thought she did OK given the material. Randy: "I thought it was terrible ... pitchy." Ellen: "I just didn't think it worked out." Simon: "It was just boring, sorry." Kara: "I do hope that America gives you one more shot."

Her take on Fleetwood Mac's “Landslide” was a little depressing like Simon said, and I kept waiting for her to find herself. I think she needs to embrace that almost-warbly country tone in her voice and go all out with it, ...

watch her butcher the song here
click on this link

She looks like the chick posted in another thread with Stevie Nicks and the hair salon where she died the hair red on that lady.

tilthefirefades · #12 02-24-2010, 01:47 PM

That is...horrible

Why can't they leave Stevie's songs alone?

Why can't they at least do Seven Wonders or something not as legendary haha

i heard the landslide while watching one tree hill on monday and it fit perfectly in the show. the 3 sisters on the show were losing their mother to cancer and they played that song during the scene where she passes away and then they finished the show with sheryl crow's i shall believe. 2 of my fav songs!!
