Stevie wants to work with Katy Perry ?

[fringed n fab]

There are other great performers and singers she could work with other than like someone else mentioned, auto-tuned pop stars. Anytime I've seen Katy perform on tv she sounds awful live. Stevie could pair up with one or even two great female singers and do an album like what Dolly, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt done with Trio and it be a huge hit album with the right people. She has endless career possibilities if she were to ever tap into them. People like Patty Griffin to me are great vocalists. Alison Krauss blends with about anyone these days and is big. But poptart Katy Perry?

Its because Katy Perry is the hottest artist around, its Stevie in survival mode,

I'm surprised her friend Taylor did not call her back to help her redo Rhiannon.Stevie like working with the young talent.If it was me.I'll feel out of place working with them.They will call me dad or gramps.LOL.....

I agree on that Jondalar.Survival is the key word.

Great news. Should be good for BOTH of them, as artists.

I agree on this.Why Stevie wants to team up on throw away talent.I rather see Stevie teaming up with artists from her era.But as we see these older artist are having the same problem breaking into the charts these days.She could team up with the 80's lady's like Heart,Joan Jett,Blondie and more.Or team up with some older country artists like mentioned here.Hahah.LOL maybe Justin Bieber will be next for a duet partner.Better then Rap.Will she got to get back on the mainstream charts.I guess she has no choice to get hooked up with a young artist.

[WildHearted]

Well Stevie likes the younger generation and all that... hence Sheryl, Vanessa, Courtney, Taylor..

Katy Perry is a good songwriter (for her genre), if nothing else. And she consistently has hits.

Stevie wanting to work with Katy Perry is a lot less offensive to me than her gushing about Twilight.

Didn't look at it that way and in a sense it's probably true for pop radio but like people have mentioned before, there's always country radio and doesn't necessarily mean she has to sound like it all the way. A lot of modern country is soft rock today and is big with people and may even get her more video play over there.

Oh ok.Yes I agree.Yes Todays country music is more like soft rock."For What Its Worth" and' Cheaper Then Free" would fit good on country radio.

At least she isn't considering Miley Cyrus, that would be the death of me....
(not that I'm dramatic or anything )

I think Katy is a talentless hack, auto-tuned beyond recognition , who cannot sing live at all.

She is cute, I like her image - I think her Sesame Street appearance was adorable - but I just don't understand why in the world Stevie admires this woman when there are multitudes of singers and songwriters with actual talent that she could gain critical acclaim for working with.

Stevie told Perez Hilton this a while back, she loves KP's "Alien" song and video.

SAY WHAT???

[SaraThePoet]

i don't really see a problem with it. I wish she would work with people like Lissie,Best Coast,Florence..but hey..she has paid her dues..she can sing with the effing muppets if she wants! Actually..Stevie and the muppets would be pretty damn awesome come to think of it haha. Point is..as long as she is still making music and having a good time doing it,who the hell cares??

Sure. Kind of like her collaborations w/Vanessa Carlton & Chris Isaak, and her cover of DMB's Crash. She's so very current.
