I dont usually visit international message boards because we are quite busy with own list/website but on behalf of the Tizzles we are glad that you all enjoyed the clip. I just wanted to use this forum to publically thank the many, many people who have emailed me and others on our list thanking us for making the clip available. Mike on our list created the file and I seen a need for it to be distributed among our friends in the Stevie Community.

Thanks to Pip for posting the clip on this site and sharing the Stevie love. Keep an eye out for the Tizzles on the DVD, we will be wearing orange. Now if you will excuse me, we have a Goddess in our midsts......

Allan Border is the former captain of the Australian cricket team. He is considered to be one of the all-time great cricketers. Here's a short profile of him, taken from the BBC website:

The epitome of the ebullient Aussie battler, Border made his debut in 1978.

By his retirement 16 years later he had set new marks for Test appearance, captaincy and scoring records.

By 1981 he was a fixture in the Test team when he topped the batting averages on tour in England, and four years later he returned as captain.

Border's average improved as skipper, but it took time before that example rubbed off on his charges.

Despite defeat in 1985, he enjoyed his best return with 597 runs.

A further loss came in 1986/87 when his side suffered the ignomy of becoming the first to follow-on at home to England and face a declaration on Australian soil in more than 20 years.

But that low proved the catalyst for the period of dominance that Border saw in.

His team won the final Test and did not lose another Ashes encounter for more than six years - a run that was only broken in Border's last Test in England.

He used to be the the leading run scorer in Test Match cricket but his record was recently overtaken by Brian Lara.

His overall Test Match record from 1978-1994 is:

BATTING
Matches: 156
Innings: 265
Runs: 11174
High score: 205
100s: 27
Average: 50.56

BOWLING
Overs: 651.5
Maidens: 197
Runs: 1525
Wickets: 39
Best: 7-46
Average: 39.10

Thanks for posting that clip!!!!!

It was great to see her again. She looks great. I must say though she sounded odd. Good - but odd. It was almost like she was singing it in a higher range. In any event, thanks again!!!

I thought she sounded different too, more nasal than usual.

Thank you so much for the clip. What are the Tizzles?

Stevie looked gorgeous and sounded amazing. It does not surprise me at all that she used a teleprompter. From what I understand she's been doing this for years. I'm sure it's just a security measure as she admittedly gets stage fright and is obviously not 20 years old anymore.

Regarding her singing Landslide, I don't care what she sings. The fact that she's 57, happy, healthy, and still performing is enough for me. I'm thrilled for this! Sure I'd love to hear Sleeping Angel but I'll take what I can get. You go girl!

Yeah, I thought that too. A little more vibrato also I think.
