real video LADY

[Christopher]

Great concept. Bad execution.

Stevie singing "Lady" all alone in a beautiful empty theatre is pretty close to perfect in my mind when I think of this song. But I have to say, I had a hard time connecting with this video.

This song is just gorgeous, and her delivery is heart-wrenching, honest, and well, amazing. And I kept waiting & wanting a heartfelt close-up to take it to the next level of visual performance that the song begs for. Then right when you think they were going in for the killer shot, it would pan away to her left side, or a view from behind the curtain. It's not horrible, but it could've been great. At least she taking chances. For her to get up on stage with no props or added special effect imagery in post production is brave and very different for her. I applaud that risk. It's an amazing time to be a Stevie Nicks fan these last 3 years.

So whatever my expectations or critique may be, this video does not detract one bit from this amazing, newly recorded version of "Lady." The new video is a classy setting for this stripped-down, introspective, and ultimatley universal song.
