Stevie on 'America's Got Talent'?

[J.Miller]

Stevie is really getting this live TV thing down pat. I think this is not going hurt her getting future offers on TV be it her solo or Fleetwood Mac. Stevie's performance was about as good as I have ever seen her. It is almost like she studied the HBO Edge of Seventeen performance and dared to be that good and she was that good. Stevie is doing her best to pull people like me that are on the fence weather to go see her on this tour. LauraTN ( my wife) still has to change her work schedule for us to go to the Atlanta show. I want to go really bad.

I wish. Sheet's gotta go. Everything else considered, Mama's got the sizzle.

[QUOTE=Amlyn;1002377]Funny, i was thinking the same thing cause i noticed her legs looked SOOO tiny. She really looked and sounded amazing and exuded such confidence. I loved pumped up Stevie! And the crowd seemed really into it too!

I just saw FWIW on youtube missed it on tv, tuned in right after oops.... Anyhoo i really really liked it. Better than at the Wiltern. So glad to see Mr. Campbell. She said some really great things about how good of a secret keeper he is... Sending her all these tracks oer the years and trusting her with them. And that he is such a private person and great friend that she tells him her secrets about what the songs are really about...
She looks tiny, I know that has alot to do with her confidence. When mama feels good and believes she looks and sounds good it shows. Its a girl thang. I so want to see her in concert, but the closest she coming to me is Bristol, Va about six hours....

I think she looked and sounded great and she rocked EOS up there, WOW!!! That crowd

On the 30th Anniversary of Bella Donna, this was such a huge surprise treat tonight!

Her voice was lovely live. I'm so proud of her, FWIW.

Great performance by Stevie on both songs.... Happy she pulled it off in great voice... and what a surprise Edge of 17 was... Wow!

Rehearsal was fantastic. She ran through FWIW 6 or 7 times, once almost all acapella.
Did Edge 4 or 5 times and man was it loud. No half assed rehearsal either. She kicked butt and was in full costume and hair. Haven't seen the broadcast yet, but will try to watch later.

As usual she was adorable between takes. So funny. I guess the smoke at the HB show was a problem for her but the voice sounded great. Well done.

Did she do the edge wail at rehearsal?

Fantastic performances tonight. I'm guessing she'll get one song on Leno. I think she'll do For What It's Worth, probably with Mike again. Perform Moonlight or In Your Dreams on Leno!!!

I wonder what made her choose edge. i guess she wanted to try something different. I hope she does more TV appearances this year. Next month when she's in NY she can do it all. Today, GMA, Regis, the View, Letterman, Fallon, etc. I can only hope. She believes in this record.

She sounds so much better on For What It's Worth than Secret Love, if only she'd chosen that as the lead single! I think it just suits her voice so much better, and she totally killed it singing it live on AGT! I loved Edge, too.

The bitchy comments on youtube / twitter don't phase me. These days, if a person isn't a fan of an artist, they'll all compete to see who can post the wittiest bitchy comment.

The hand actions are getting more elaborate... although they really just need to go away. Far away.

I completely agree - I think you will see a television push in the next few weeks

Nope. But she sang the hell out of the song over and over.

Oh after one take she was like "This is edited down so short, if it looks like we are freaking out up here it is because we ARE."



Gaga was on the stage next door. Half expected to see her in the hall but no go.
Not that I am complaining, it was just a random thing. Seeing Stevie made my day.

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor...our girl was amazing. She should be very proud of herself!

'America's Got Talent' results: Smurfs, Stevie Nicks, but no real shockers
July 27, 2011 | 8:51 pm

Smurfs! Stevie Nicks! Strangely timed eliminations! What a weird "America's Got Talent" results show.

There was nothing terribly surprising about the four acts that made it through to the "AGT" semifinals Wednesday night: Sinatra singer Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., the band of youngsters called Poplyfe and operatic beauty Lys Agnes, along with death-defying belly-flopper Professor Splash. And maybe that's why the producers seemed to feel they had to work extra hard to generate suspense.

First they faked us out, lining up cheesy cheerleaders Purrfect Angelz, stellar yo-yoer Ian Johnson and acrobatic rope-jumpers Summerwind Skippers only to announce -- after a long pause, of course -- that none of them had made it through.

OK, that was a little surprising. But then they tried to fake us out again, calling Murphy and Poplyfe to the stage, presumably so that one of them could be eliminated. But was anyone shocked to learn that both of those acts would be going through? Or to learn that, out of a group that included novelty act Mauricio Herrera, creepy sideshow couple Captain & Maybelle, note-missing 12-year-old singer Monet and the gorgeous Agnes, who did not miss a vocal or stylistic note on Tuesday night, it was Agnes who would be moving on to the semifinals?

And surely, once we had to endure the discomfort of watching the three adorable tykes (ages 5, 6 and 7) known as the SH'Boss Boys deprived of their dreams (Where were their mommies? And how sad was it to watch that one little boy jump up and down, thinking that the group had won, as one of his groupmates hollered "No!"?), did anyone really think the judges would put through disappointing illusionist (disillusionist?) Seth Grabel instead of rewarding the unusual Professor Splash for setting a world record live on their show?

On Tuesday night, Grabel had promised boiling tar and had delivered fluff. The Splashman had jumped from three stories into a foot of water; he had the bruises to prove it. The judges dutifully followed their split-decision script (as they had the script for the Smurf plug that kicked off the show), but really, it was no contest.

At the end of the day, the only real shocker Wednesday night (aside from how great Stevie Nicks, for whom "America's Got Talent" Season 5 winner Michael Grimm will open on her tour this summer, looks and sounds at age 63) is just how canned this "surprising" results show came off.

I half expected her to wander on stage during rehearsals. No idea what she is doing over there, but the stage is next door in the same building. My buddy texted me last night "Random. Gaga just walked by me." I was like WTF? Maybe Gaga will tweet about it. She is a frequent tweeter so it wouldn't surprise me.
