The only other songs she sang lead on that I ever heard were You Make Loving Fun, Say You Love Me, Dreamin' The Dream, and John Lennon's Imagine. Other than that, she sang Christine's parts on Don't Stop and World Turning, and got the lyrics right. So, exactly how was she trying to be Stevie?
Even in terms of style, Bekka wasn't trying to be Stevie. Bekka is a country-soul singer. Anybody remotely familiar with her mom and dad knew exactly where Bekka was coming from as an artist, and it wasn't Stevie Nicks. Again, it's like comparing Joni Mitchell to Mavis Staples.
See, the reaction here in Ohio was extremely positive.

I am not knocking bekka for her talent well when she came out singing gold dust woman with a long black cloak and her voice was to me trying to imitate stevie's moves and persona i took it that way and alot of people have i believe I am sure when they finished there set at the meadows pretty much half the people already left it would have surprised me at all i never heard of her if she was an established star then I am was not aware of her stardom though she was a new comer I thought and I figured mick picked up because she was blonde and thin and could sing. That is my opinion of that version of fleetwood mac i just didnt care for that part of the group in 1994 and 1995. I love all the versions of fleetwood mac from the begining with Peter Green and thru with Billy Burnette and Rick Vito and today as well.
