This is the "retirement" phase of her career, so everything else she does at this point are just bucket list items. It's silly to say she's selling out because that is to suggest she has no other choice but to accept "her fate" as a guest mentor.

I love your words of reason and wisdom. I'm resisting defending her choice to be on The Voice; it's a useless en-devour. I just watched first Voice show of the season. The level of musical talent featured was astounding. The show not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of the best talent shows on TV.

Stevie is,by no means, "selling out" by being on the show. Her motivation for doing this isn't purely to promote herself, her solo album, or Fleetwood Mac. She's doing it because it's fun for her; she genuinely enjoys advising and sharing her experience and knowledge with the the up and coming generation. This is a great platform for her.

There is a sense of protection I gather from from some of the comments of disdain. It's as if you want preserve concept of what you expect Stevie to be, based in the past, with no consideration given to how the industry /the world has radically changed.
