I don't get channel 6 so I couldn't watch but it sounds like I didn't miss much. I love the song but it's not the best choice to do live. Glad to hear Stevie wore black, though. I was a little concerned she might decide against it.

I thought Stevie sounded a little ragged, but I think overall it was a good performance. She looks so happy to be there. Dancing a little herself. Everyone was on their feet clapping. Hoping Landslide brings the house down.

A lot of people on Twitter are not liking her performance or the song.

Damien T. Frierson
@irvgodi11 Stevie Nicks just hurt my feelings with her voice #killingmeharshly

http://ariverofstones.blogspot.com/ <--- see here RT @geaghant: Can anyone tell me what #aros is? Also why is Stevie Nicks allowed to sing?

#DWTS If I never see or hear Stevie Nicks again that would be just fine.Did not enjoy her raspy off key voice. How did she get where she is?

At least DWTS is consistent. They made both Stevie Nicks and Pitbull sound equally crappy. Good job!

RT @TweetDiane: WOW.....Stevie Nicks sounds terrible! Never liked her anyway, but she sounds really bad!!!

lots more like this...

Agree with everything you said.

And I'm loving that she has been wearing her hair wavy for most of the interviews and performances she's been doing lately.

Absolutely, that part is more a musical dead end than a mini-bridge. Painful.

Stevie's gestures weren't as annoying as in the other performances. And I thought her last note sounded pretty good. But overall the stage is just too big for this song.
I think WSS could have been a great choice - would have suited her currently ragged voice much better. SL is a pretty song & needs a light vocal.

She shouldn't have pushed herself to do this if she wasn't ready. It sounds like her voice wasn't nearly up to it's usual par and viewers are noticing...

I agree. She should be resting for the Wiltern. That was awful.

I think she looked great, and did a great job considering her health issues. She was a little hoarse in places, but it was still a clean, decent performance.

I just wish people would be more realistic regarding this song. It's not going to make or break the album. She has her established fan base. Who would that potential new demographic consist of? Pre-teens who weren't alive during her heyday? She's well-known. Most people have long-ago made up their minds about her. Stop trying to think she can be what she was 30 something years ago. She has changed. The world and music industry has changed. I have changed, but the panic /concerns remain ageless!

I think she looks great. They just showed another clip of her waving while announcing the next song coming up as a FM classic or something to that effect.

She should be resting, period. Pneumonia is not something that just goes away. She still doesn't sound ready.

Ok performance. Nothing good/nothing bad.

What about these ones?

it's a bad night when Pitbull and company get more applause than Stevie Nicks. hello - LEGEND, people. get it together, America!

RT @DJCapo: I love Stevie Nicks #DWTS «Her voice is amazing!

I agree w/ you 100%!! @LShalottCamelot: So nice to see one of THE best female rock stars ever, performing live on #DWTS ~ Stevie Nicks

Stevie nicks amazing #dwts

Watching Stevie Nicks on DWTS!! she's still got it!! me

Loved...loved...loved... Stevie Nicks performance of 'Secret Love' on #DWTS Will she also be performing her classic mega hit 'Landslide'?



None of these tweets prove anything except that some people like her, some people don't. Same as it ever was.
