The most beautiful singer at her best moment

Stevie stinks these days, that's just my opinion. She's a pale shadow of her former self. Doesn't make the music bad, it just makes her boring onstage and not worth the $125 it costs to see her leave the notes to her cadre of background singers.

Different strokes for different folks.

so, stevie sucks now, debbie still sucks. same place.

And that's your opinion, but obviously not a fact.

I quite like Debbie, always have and still enjoy her onstage. I quite like Stevie, but a shining star she is not at the present moment when it comes to the stage.

Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

See, I like how stiff Debbie is onstage (although she's not stiff on things like Live By Request or Live '99). Like in Musikladen, she just stands at the microphone, arms straight down to her side, and sings with a goofy look on her face. I think that look has become somewhat of her trademark, the side-glance, barely-moving mouth, etc. Also when she sings out of just one side of her mouth. But when she DOES decide to move, like in the Detroit 442 video or live performances of Rapture, etc, you can tell she's having fun and just rocking out.

And have you seen Debbie dance? Honestly. It's not that good. Evidence? Island of Lost Souls video.

I vote for Stevie in the present.
It's enough for me to watch LIB, and especially her Beautiful Child performance. The class, the emotions filtered through a voice that comes as a wild caress, the braveness of her soul singing. Her eyes, telling a story. No shields at all, just music, art, a woman. Absolutely beautiful.

I voted for Stevie Nicks.

Now I know this is a Fleetwood Mac site and it should be obvious who we choose right? Well I'm primarily a Buckingham and John McVie fan, not a Stevie fan and although I do like some of Stevie's work a lot of it just isn't what flicks my switch...

However,

I do think Stevie is the most feminine and beautiful singer in this collection and the moment I would pick personally which defines my choice is Stevie during Go Your Own Way from the '82 Mirage gig (played on my birthday ) The red lipstick, hair and that top hat.... Plus when she sings and looks at Lindsey you get a close up of her eyes glistening with a rather sexually charged expression.... Yessir, that's my choice...

Face it, Le Stew, it could be anyone but they would all pale in comparison to the lethargic creature we've come to know as Stevie Nicks. BUT - that's your taste and if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. And did I expect anyhting differently on a Mac board? Hell no.

Stevie's stage presence isn't much of anything to shake a stick at these days, IMO, and hasn't been up to snuff for a long while. She's past her prime and should concentrate on recording her good material and leaving the touring to those that can still do it justice.

Hey, I admit I prefer Stevie. Otherwise we'd be having this conversation on a Debbie Harry message board.

I've said it a million times, Stevie is NOT the woman she used to be on stage... her performances have greatly changed and evolved since the '80s.
Some feel she's lethargic and boring... I feel she's grown and matured. It's a difference of opinions, but for me, I think she'd look ridiculous if she were still behaving like a drugged-out maniac.

Her performances still move me, and I still find her ultra-compelling. If I didn't, then I would have moved on ages ago.

(For the record, I also greatly enjoy Tina Turner, Madonna, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Terri Nunn, Ann & Nancy Wilson, and a whole host of other female performers... I'm just not bowled over by Ms. Harry when it comes to live performances. )

I was tempted to vote for Beyonce danm it I don't care much for her at all but she's hot But in the end I went for Stevie, who at her VERY VERY best tops everyone.

Debbie all the way!!1!1one

She's tied with Bono and Chrissie Hynde as my absolute favorite vocalist of all time. She's got it all: voice, looks, personality, stage presence, talent, everything.

Mind you, I love Stevie, but Debbie's number one for me.

No, it's from the Harper's Bazaar article she did in 1997.

You have a problem exagerating to make a point. Stevie's gone to stinking now Come on. Watch LIB again, she is in no way the same as 70's Stevie but she is still very very very good at what she does and put a lot of energy into those shows. Just watch EOTW, GYOW, SB, GDW, and Don't Stop for refernences. And plus, I'd say Stevie was on;y about 50 of the 125 dolalrs and Lindsey was 75, so I'd say she was really worth 50.

AND last but certainly not least this poll is not about these people currently, it's them at their prime. And me and I'm sure many others are voting for Stevie in the last 70's early 80's.
