Elise did a knock out rockin' job with her Led Zepplin song! perhaps Fleetwood Mac should consider her? Just saying ya know?

You've had some really great mentors throughout your time on Idol. But which mentor was your favorite and why?

My favorite mentor is probably Stevie Nicks because she just spent so much time learning the songs the night before and everything and she wanted to kind of have an idea of them. Then she came in the next day and really had done her homework. She really showed that she respected us and we respected her.

There's a nice pic of Stevie.

I keep reading that Stevie and Kelly Clarkson are the top names suggested on the internet to replace Jennifer Lopez as a judge on Idol. It is a lucrative gig and has turned out to be a great career move for J-Lo. In fact, I think she has landed at the top of Forbes' list for the year, according to the list that came out and a lot of her income was boosted by the American Idol exposure she got.

Mick and FM better hope that doesn't happen, because while seeing Stevie on Idol might get more people to buy tickets for a concert, it would give her a whole lot less time to tour. So, when she squeezed performances into her schedule, those dates would probably be Stevie solo, not with FM.

So many of the contestants said she was a great mentor. I could see her name coming up in serious judge discussions among the producers. Although, in the end they probably want to go with a female performer with more prominence than Stevie has today.

Interesting that you have seen her name come up multiple times. I saw it once. I think she's prominent enough to be considered. People know who she is, and neither Paula nor Jennifer were exactly red-hot when they took the gig. Mick would have a cow because it would mean a delay of at least another year for FM, but utlimately I think he would benefit. Stevie on TV every week? Over the last year, just a guest spot here and there was enough to keep putting Rumours back on the charts. Also, I think the interest in Aerosmith's upcoming album and tour is going to surge as a result of Steven Tyler's gig as a judge these last two years.

If Stevie got the gig, I would love to see the interactions between her and Steve Tyler.They could be like 2 giddy teenagers if sitting side by side.

gypsy4life · #**261** 05-20-2012, 10:45 AM

^^agreed Viv!! Those two would make the show!
I wonder if Stevie would consider...she seems like she doesn't like to be tied down to anything (apart from FM). She has been the most helpful mentor..by far...and seemed to enjoy it....who knows? Money is not a need for Stevie...as it has been for some of the other judges in the past...I would rather her work on another album..but I guess we will have to wair and see...
I did read that the producer...Nigel something or other...really loves Stevie...

I'm not a fan of any tv show but if Stevie was a judge I'd tape it and watch it every week. it would be great for her career. You wouldn't have people ask you, "Whose he?" when mentioning the name Stevie Nicks, after a regular gig as a judge on American Idol. SN would become a household name(Like it should be). Imagine the throngs of fans that would show up at a Fleetwood Mac concert just to get a glimpse or a solo show.

Yes! They would certainly have more chemistry together than Steven has with Ms. Lopez. I would love to see the Stevie and Steven show. They are kindred spirits of sorts.

Yes I agree.I never liked the show. If Stevie was a judge or a weekly mentor like Jimmy I would tape the show every week. Yes her name will get around and one more job she can list on her resume.One thing I would not like is if she gets the idol gig.I don't want to see her to give up touring and other stuff.Also if Stevie gets a offer from Idol .I can see Mick coming unglued over it.I think Lindsey would not care if she gets the Idol gig if offered.I would give him more time to do his thing.

Nope, she's too old.

Michele are you trying to take my place?
I'm starting to wonder.

Steven Tyler is older.
However, he's a man. I'm sure the throngs of pre-teen girls would rather relate to a woman younger than Stevie on the Judge's table..

Actually one of the articles I read suggested her age would be a plus, and it would give Idol a way to distinguish itself from "X Factor" where Simon Cowell is going to the other extreme on the age spectrum, with Britney Spears and, especially, Demi Lovato.

BombaySapphire3 · #**269** 05-24-2012, 08:48 PM

Stevie would be great as a judge on Idol but they might be hesitant to have both herself and Tyler since they are so similar .I think they like to go for more diversity because it generates more friction between the judges.

Regina · #**270** 05-24-2012, 09:58 PM

I don't agree that Stevie is so similar to Steven Tyler. I've heard him say ... maybe 4 negative things all season. Everything else is 'beautiful, just beautiful," or some variation on a theme about eggs hatching over sunset rainbows (THAT part is Stevie...except she'd replace the eggs with oceans crashing). Jennifer would cut down her girl of the week, and Randy would ocassionally take the Simon role (VERY watered down)...but, none of their criticism ever made sense. One week it was "give more!" The next, "you're oversinging!" Except for their chosen ones who were the bestest things in the 9000 years they've all been on the earth. Even when they sucked. So, how helpful is that b.s.?

Even Jimmy, who did say some truthful things in his critiques, seemed to do all his armchair quarterbacking POST-show (and probably post-getting fed the booted contestant's name). Why he didn't actually point those things out (like poor song choice, etc)...while the contestants were in the rehearsal room and there was time for change...is beyond me. Since he was their "mentor." (Some things about this show are very, very stupid).

But, Stevie was very, very thoughtful and very supportive of each contestant. And, even when she thought they were good...she didn't stop there, but she'd add some little suggestion (that they could "take or leave") that would make it better.

I think she'd be a great "Ancient Queen," at first--and, then, people would just fall in love and forget the "Ancient" part (even the 12-year olds in the crowd).

Of course, I would prefer that she not saddle herself with that gig...but, if that was her choice, I think she'd be good at it.
