I also think she is, for want of a better word, lazy. For example, when she and Waddy were talking about doing the song Bella Donna on, I think, the TISL tour - La Nicks responded that they rehearsed it, but they did not remember it being so hard to do live, so they dropped it. Well, hello, when you are one of the best paid and most experienced singers in the world, which she is -- sometimes you gotta work for it. I mean she sings in three part harmony all the time with the girls in other songs. What makes that song so different other than it takes concentration and effort to relearn it as opposed to the rote auto pilot parts on Rhiannnon, Dreams, etc.? I mean she NAILED the If Anyone Falls a capella ending three part harmonies in Vegas (chills on my arms during it) and those essentially are the same as the ones in Bella Donna, though admittedly there are more in the latter. Personally, though it requires more concentration to sing in a tight harmony vocal, it is easier because you have to concentrate - at least that is my experience.

To her credit, she makes millions a year doing what she is doing -- and not listening to my unsolicited advice
