Agreed.

I think she will do a couple Don songs with him. I really do. It would be better than L&L

rayz real hard:

That's another thing......regardless of Stevie's desire to tour (or not), her health, etc, if her shows don't sell well, very few people are going to book her in the future.

That is the "Two Voices" Tour with Don, right? I was talking about the Gold Dust tour, the solo one.

Exactly. And who's to say it won't be more epic if she comes back? As far as i'm concerned, this was like her little trial run. I think they wanted to see how she sold before they wrote her another check and I think she did pretty damn well considering she's filling in for Elton John and Celine Dion--two people that pack a house every night. If it will be more elaborate in the future, i'll go again. She was amazing.

Well, I think she was genuinely excited about them. If you listen to her landslide dedication on the Sat. Vegas show, she agaion goes into how much work they had to put into it with the screens and the stage being so different. So, I do not think she was in any way laying in the Ladd and other interviews. I also think that because she created footage for the screens and hauled out new outfits and songs not played live in a decade or more, she thought she delivered on what she promised. In my book, she did with the visuals and some of the reintroduced songs, though I wish she had done more.

Maybe that is also why she sucked up to them and dedicated Landslide to "All the People at Caesar's Palace" on Saturday?

Yeah. I can create raindrop animations on my PC right now.

I don't know if I'd call her Ladd interview a bunch of "lies," but I would call them embellishments.

or she could have been genuinely thankful - why is it everyone seems to think Stevie is this calculating, conniving bitch - I will never get it.

There's no doubt in my mind that she will return to Vegas. I can't see her more than just a fill-in though at this point.

Sweetie, if she hasn't done anything now...she's not going to...JMO. It carries right into her solo gig. She and Henley open the tour this Friday and then on June 30th, she's back here in Atlantic City. Do you know what they're advertising for the 30th? Nothing. Stevie has always done an interview with Debbi Calton from WMGK here in Philadelphia before she comes here for a show. Guess who did the interview? Don. Not Stevie. She's just not into this is my opinion.

I was really happy with Vegas too! It was great... I think she would have almost been selling out if she had a carnival on stage or did cartwheels.

I think you got your drama queen cues from Stevie, sweetie.

No one called her a calculating, conniving bitch. But you seem to be oblivious to the fact that her job isn't merely to get up there and sing songs, it's to sell herself to the public so that she makes the cash and continues with her career. That was the sole reason she went on Jim Ladd in the first place, TO SELL HERSELF.

I'm just joking! Stevie is my idol- I'd never think she was a bitch!

I don't blame her. The way he talks about it is rather classless. "I'll ditch Stevie for The Eagles, no biggie."
