Certainly Nicks fans in attendance would account for some of that applause, but not for all of it.

I never said it was my opinion.

As for those instances you pointed to, gimme a break. That's your perception, but that's not reality. If I remember correctly, and I'll gladly bust out my tape, at the Blockbuster Awards, the audience barely stood up to applaud her. And to say that Stevie herself got the biggest ovation at Divas Live is just ridiculous.

I do not know what you watched , but when Stevie hauled out on stage with the Dixie Chicks they got huge applause - people stood and were singing along with them. To me, that can be called on of the largest ovations at the Divas. So, while certainly the DC received some of that applause because at that time they were VERY popular and would have goten it without Stevie, Stevie's presence certainly added to the excitement of seeing that live performace because although the DC received a large response when they were onstage by themselves, the DC got a larger response when Stevie was there with them Of course the beauty of the song on its own coupled with peoples' familiarity with it and the IMO glowing version of it added to that response, but Stevie was part of all of that. So, I conclude Stevie got one of the largest ovations at The Diva's, which is saying alot because Cher also got one - I mean when you haul out dressed as Elvis . . .

In any event, that is my take of it. I do not expect anyone to agree with me because it is all subject to personal interpretation and that is mine

Yeah, she got one of the biggest, but to say she alone got the BIGGEST is absurd. If I recall correctly, Cher got the biggest ovation when she came out dolled-up like Elvis. They went ape****.

You use biggest twice in the same sentence It was one of the biggest. No question in my mind. But, it was not as big as Cher as Elvis. That probably was the biggest of the evening 's ovations.

LOL - I often wonder who the hell would want to follow Cher as Elvis Talk about a hard act to follow

A very hard act to follow. Stevie would have to come dressed as Ole Blue Eyes with Nancy's famous boots for added effect.

And I used it thrice.

I responded "You use biggest twice in the same sentence" -
Where is the third in the same sentence - there are two sentences? Touche'

Also, I think Stevie in a cowgirl outfit with six shooters would have been hysterical. A little Patsy Cline to fit the country motif.

What an ass. When all else fails, let's argue over how many times I used BIGGEST.

I misread your post, that's all. I thought you said I only said biggest twice, when I used the word three times in my post.

Maybe not the biggest, but I do remember how, when she sang ONE LINE of Landslide, the crowd went absolutely NUTS. "Take this love, take it down" minus Dixie harmonies made the audience go wild. It made me think they would rather hear Stevie do the whole song by herself. I know I would, lol.

Me, too. I despise the Dixie Chicks version.

In any event, I was responding to the remark that Stevie got the biggest ovation of the concert, which I don't believe to be true. But it's all perception, I guess.
