You can't blame everything on "people dont buy music anymore" because of Internet etc. If its a great album like 21, it'll sell and sell BIG!!

If that was the reason then there wouldn't be the tons of garbage like Bieber who sell outrageously big numbers of albums.

Well this deplorable loves 24k and is enjoying it now. It's a great day to be U. S. citizen and I'm enjoying it with Stevie. Maybe she can sing Has Anyone Ever Written for You to Hillary, instead of Landslide.

Thank you Angels for giving deplorables a voice. My poor butt needs to be heard!!!!!!!!!!

I guess better a has been than a never was. That's harsh to say about the Queen of Rock. How many artists have a 40+ year career behind them and a successful one at that. I believe that since she's been at Reprise and being produced or directed by someone other than Lindzers that her work and production is substandard. Its lost its je ne sais quoi quality that has always defined the queen of rock. Haunting guitar licks by Lindsey and an ethereal sound like Sisters of or Beauty and Beast. Sorry , but there's nothing like Thrown Down, Stand Back or Edge to get the blood flowing. Her latest stuff is almost like she's in a depression vacuum and can't get out.

I do agree with this. It's always been my opinion that her work with him during their prime had a certain magic that was never truly replicated in her other work. Like even somewhat after the peak for the two of them together, I think Gypsy is a better, more classic Stevie song than all of Bella Donna. That's just me.

It's like the quote by Ken (I think) where he says there's a reason Stevie and Lindsey sound so good together... It's because they were meant to sing together!

And I think it's a shame that they don't work together anymore. They bring out the best in each other musically and I do not think that is disputable.

I like how she reached out to him to get the exact vibe/sound she wanted for Soldier's Angel, because only he could do it. I think that's telling.

Keith Olsen, actually.

True. I did also say she is a legend, but when it comes to platinum album sales, those days are over, and that's what I meant by has-been - a former multi-platinum artist with a legacy that she nurtures in a way which makes her happy.

I don't agree. I think Stevie has proved time and time again, she is capable of creating magical musical works of art with other producers.

Maybe The Nightmare would be a better choice

That's quite an impolite phrase.

Why? What is the great, unexpressed thought that you've been unable to communicate until now? Is it this:

I don't care, that means nothing to me. I'll edit as much as I want. UGH.
