real video LADY

[Rachelclaire]

I loved the video, loved the song, loved the commentary. It makes me so happy that we are getting this now, what an exciting time to be a Stevie fan. I think that she looked absolutely stunning. If I could look half as beautiful as her I would be one very happy girly. Elegance and class has no age limit. xx

[MoonSister75]

I think the video is flattering of Stevie, including her outfit - she looks elegant. And yes I agree there's no box, you can see the shoes. I think some people need to try to see the beauty in the aging process. No one is able to look the same as they did in their 20's/30's at the age of 66. She is aging very beautifully and very gracefully

That video was good. I liked the FWIW video as well. When she's in the desert with the wind blowing. It's totally her element!
But this video is good none the less. It goes along with the song.

On the other hand after reading all the comments about the actual video of Lady, and I did go into it thinking I ain't gonna like this, I actually didn't think it was that bad at all.
The song itself, not being one of my favorites anyway, is kind of growing on me with her older voice.

The eyeshadow color in the crease is too dark these days. She should wear a medium brown in it instead of dark brown/black. I do understand that she does this so people can see her from far away on stage but it looks too sharp.
Lighter colors bring in more light and make a person appear more youthful. Too many dark colors can make a person appear older even when they're not.
Stevie can do whatever she wants. I just want her to look her best.

yah since this was before any heavy drugs were involved
i mean, WHO just lets 2 people live with them for a year & 1/2
i think there were some orgies going on or something ...

It wasn't just anybody. It was Keith Olsen. I don't think Lindsey would go along with orgies. According to what Stevie has said over the years, and Carol Ann (taken with a grain of salt), Lindsey tended to get jealous and didn't like his women being around other men too much. I doubt Stevie would go along with it either.
Of course you may be kidding. In which case; ignore what I just typed.

I watched the video and you're right, there's no box. She must have been wearing her super high platforms though.
And I assume she didn't move that much so she could stay in the shot. Perfectly logical. Though I would have liked to see her move across the stage more.

She's played Rhiannon several times publicly on piano and could most certainly have pulled this one off. I love Stevie to the end but like some others I think this was a missed opportunity. Don't know if it's because they had little time to record the album and then do a video and well maybe she didn't want to spend a fortune on a video. Who knows but it just doesn't seem to work.

she probably didn't do it that way because it's been done

[DashingDan]

I think she looks terrific in the video, by the way. I just think she looks a bit...tall.

And it couldn't have been Stevie's crack housekeeping skills that enticed Keith, because she's already told us she used to let demo cassettes pile up behind the couch.

And I guarantee that's the top she's gonna be wearing on the FM tour.

The theater backdrop is beautiful. I just thought it was weird for her to be singing to all of those empty seats.

Every time I felt like we were getting somewhere or I was starting to connect to it the angle would change. The song is so great but this video isn't doing it much justice. In the end I think time constraints may have hampered this. We've gotten so many phenomenal videos from her that the bar is set pretty high.

^^^ This, right here. You're so right! I think they only had a day to shoot it. It can sometimes take an hour or two to set up different camera shots, which could have taken up most of the day depending on how many cameras they had available.

The bar HAS been set pretty high in the past, so that's maybe why it seems this video is kind of lame. She's gorgeous, though! And I'm still loving this song!

[MusicInferno]

I think a one-take video would've been more effective than this, starting with showing the entire theatre in all its glory and slowly zooming in on Stevie until she sings the last part of the song with only her in the frame.

[shackin'up]

I prefer the lyric video.

Perhaps, reebokandlace, when you reach her age and have culled a huge legendary career with icon status, you might understand that she can do whatever the hell she wants to do, make any decision she wants to make and not care what people think. This is HER LIFE, not yours. This is HER PROJECT, not yours. If you don't like it, then that fine, and you're certainly welcome to your own opinion. Unfortunately your opinions aren't valid when you are clearly taking pleasure out of making fun of the wardrobe of a 66 year old senior citizen, and compare her to a "special needs" individual. As someone who has three special needs family members, those comments offend me to no end, and you should be ashamed!!!

As you say, you are a fan of the "Stevie who used to be" and not what she has become. I can only hope that when you reach your late 60's, that some sort of wisdom will start coating your brain matter and the childish attitude equaling your "fear of change" will slowly dissipate.

But for right now, good luck on your life's journey! Meanwhile, the rest of us will all continue to enjoy this wonderful woman/singer/songwriter/poet/entertainer throughout all the changes, the downsizing, and the growing wisdom with age...ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK...at 95 years old, spinning on stage with an electric wheelchair!

This is well stated and I agree with the defense. Most of my complaints are related to bad management who don't know how to make the best decisions for Stevie at this point in her career. Lord knows, I can be critical of some of Stevie's management's business decisions regarding promotion, but these people are hitting below the belt. They obviously have no idea how the aging process can change a person. Insulting Stevie's face, her makeup and wardrobe is somewhat hurtful. I would like to see what these people will do when THEIR skin begins to show signs of age. Honey, we ARE ALL RIDING on the slow train to losing our youth and beauty, SO BE KIND !! Stevie looks fine considering she's a 66 year old woman whose lead a fast life. What DO YOU ALL LOOK LIKE ?!?! Can we see a picture of YOUR face ????? Please post so I can start dissecting your wrinkles.

YES. 👏 Couldn't say it better myself. 100% agree with you - frustrated with the management, not with Stevie.
