"Landslide" has become such a cliche song

[Regina]

IMO, when the original is so...original and so perfectly suited to the person who sings it (who ALSO happened to write it and "gets it" like no one else can) and who is alive and well and singing it frequently, it's almost idiotic to attempt to cover it.

I think the song, as much as I bitch about it being sung so often and not being put on a long hiatus, is so quintessentially Stevie. I think it's a living thing to her and every year that goes by, it gets more layered. Certainly, the "I'm getting older, too," of the Dance is different than that line now. And, with every loss and every year that goes by...the song has more meaning.

Maybe I'm slightly reversed age-ist, but most 19 or 20 year olds can't possibly "get" what it's like to be Stevie's age and have experienced what she has, and how she got from the Landslide of then to the Landslide of now. So, their versions tend to come off as ... superficial.
