Stevie on the Madonna/Britney MTV Kiss

This article ran in an Aussie newspaper. You tell 'em Stevie!

Madonna-Britney Kiss Angers Stevie:

STEVIE Nicks rates the notorious Madonna-Britney kiss as the most obnoxious television moment ever.

"First of all, Madonna is too old to be kissing someone who is 22," the Fleetwood Mac singer told the Herald Sun.
"And Britney should be smarter than that. Hopefully, she will figure a way out of this hole she has dug for herself."

Original rock chick Nicks, 55, said Spears and Christina Aguilera should wear more clothes and try writing decent songs.

"I personally have never been to a strip club, but I turn on MTV and see in every single video what it must be like to be at a strip club," Nicks said.

"I think the mystery is gone, and if you have no mystery, then you aren't even sexy.

"Real sexuality and sensuality is in the music, and all these girls, vis-a-vis, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and on and on, should go back to writing songs and start over because it won't last and they won't last.

"When they are 55, they won't be around and that's sad because I think a lot of those girls are very talented. But they are signing their own death warrants."

Nicks was appalled by Madonna's publicity stunt kiss with Spears at the recent MTV Awards.

"I thought it was the most obnoxious moment in television history," she said.

"Madonna will be fine. Madonna is Madonna. She does what she wants. She will get over this. But will Britney get over it? I don't know."

Nicks revealed Madonna asked Jennifer Lopez to be in the smoochy routine, but J.Lo told Madge to kiss something else.

Nicks is the ultimate rock survivor, weathering drug addictions, depression and a tumultuous relationship with Lindsey Buckingham.

Wow.
Stevie is pulling no punches these days.
I'm really surprised by her bluntness here.
Not that I have any problem with it.

gotta give La Nicks thumbs UP for telling it like it is.

Thank goodness Britney said she'd only kiss Madonna. Our Stevie is safe!

A friend forwarded this article to me. I was rather surprised she was so vocal about her views on this, but absolutely agreed with everything she said and am thrilled she had the guts to say it! I'm far from being a prude but it seems to me that these days it's all about seeing how far you can push the envelope and not about talent at all.

What's Stevie's dog in the race? Why is it worth it for these people to write an article about it? This just strikes me as bizarre.

If Britney doesn't recover, who the hell cares? Her net worth is 50 million bucks.. she'll be juuuuust fine, and girly kisses certainly won't hurt XTina's dirrty image.

A very peculiar article. I guess people just love the mudslinging.. hope it doesn't come back on her. I'd hate for Madonna, Britney, or Xtina to get pissed and start badmouthing Stevie.

I think Stevie was being mostly humorous in this. I can see her laughing while she is saying it. Remember, humor sometimes does not translate into prose. Also, Stevie made similar comments a year or so ago about the sexiness is okay, but you better write if you want to be in it for the long haul.

Wise advice from a wise woman.

Yeah Britney may have 50 million bucks...but Stevie's standpoint is from a time when it WAS about the music...not all the glitz and all that...and Stevie is right...these girls ARE digging themselves a hole....everyone loves it now, but they will not soon or later...and you might say that doesn't matter b/c their rich....but correct me if I'm wrong these girls DO want to be around for awhile...and their image is already getting old to me....and the way Britney spends money, she will NEED a career....I thought it was cool Stevie was so blunt...Why was the article printed?
Well journalists like you said like to get things stirred up...and offer a different opinion than those force fed into people from certain places (ala MTV)...Journalists have been asking MANY celebs about their opinions on this kiss, there was a section in Rolling Stone about it with quotes

Madonna and Britney could bad mouth Stevie all they wanted...Stevie has staying power, it won't hurt her at all....

Personally, I am more intrigued by her comments about madonna being too old to kiss Britney. What's that about? Does she really feel that way about all relationships with large age differences of say, about 20 years or so?

Hmmmmm...... now I wonder what it is she really disapproving of here?

I think somebody (who we know reads all FM-related press) is going to read this and take it a bit personally.

I smell a fight a-brewing and a few frosty shows on the horizon!

Also, I guess this means Stevie won't be getting herself some fine little chiseled boy-toy anytime soon, huh?

Shoot.



I think she should.

Yeah I could definitely see this turning a little bit nasty, but let's hope it doesn't come to that. I find her making mention of Britney's age to be interesting. So Stevie, if Madonna kissed a lady that was 42 instead of 22, would that make a difference?

I think Stevie has always been opinionated about things, and we all know she is a lot more conservative that she used to be. While I completely agree with her that the kiss was an obnoxious publicity stunt, I hope that Stevie's words don't "ruffle feathers" with too many in the music industry, so to speak. I have a feeling it will be okay -- many have spoken out against Madonna's "display."

I saw Madonna on Oprah the other day and she made it seem like Britney was the one who kissed her that way. Britney did slip her the tongue, Madonna said she intended it to be a chaste kiss, like the one she gave Christina, as part of the "mock wedding ceremony" during their performance.

Meeeowww! Did Stevie skip a hormone pill that day or what? But she does have a point - I also hope that her words don't come back to bite her in the arse.

And yes, Stevie SHOULD have a boy-toy!!

Maybe I'm not on the same wavelength with everyone else, but who cares if they kiss? Why should it be such a controversy in this day and age? We all applaud everytime Stevie and Lindsey hug--let alone if they kiss--and THAT's ok. It says a lot about human rights and the state of tolerance in our society that such a big deal is made of two PEOPLE kissing.

Well, I think Stevie is speaking from a POV that is saying people shouldn't do it (kiss, or anything else) if it's only for display or for titillation..... only if there is true emotion behind it. I certainly don't think it a same-sex issue or anything like that.
