must've cut away because Stevie was only shown playing "Landslide" then "Rhiannon" (Which was the last segment before the show ended.)

I recorded this show on DVD, so I guess I'll double check to see if I may have missed it

Wow. Hm.

Etta James? So we'll get an album version of At Last? That'd be sweet. I still would rather see her record her own material, but I gave up on that a long time ago, so I guess this is the next best thing.

In a way, I think this is better because she has to sing the standards as written, instead of fabricating her own three note melody.

Cool about a standards album...Would be interesting but I prefer to see Stevie rock out than be a 'crooner'.

I would prefer Stevie's version of the Everly Bros."So Sad To Watch Good Love Go Bad" get officially released sometime in this life.

Oh, she'll fit the songs around her three note melody range anyway. I'm not so sure she can still belt out 'At Last' as beautifully as she did almost 10 years ago in 1998.

But I am optimistic, because her voice obviously does lend well for projects like that.

If the "current" Beauty and the Beast and Rock and Roll are any indication, then she can.

Plus she can sing way more notes, when she's singing lightly into a microphone. It's all this over-projecting of her songs that limits her range.

Ofcourse. I was slightly kidding when I said that. She managed to hit the high notes for the Dreams remix, so it's all still possible.

I think her answering that question and saying that she has ideas about a new album (whether it's a standards album or her own material) proves that she still has interest in making a new record. She just has to do it when the time is right for her, not us.

She also said she wanted to release her "Rhiannon" album. An album of standards would be pretty cool, but I am not holding my breath. As she said on Access Hollywood, "she is very busy until the end of the year promoting CV"..then Fleetwood Mac is a possibility.


I am surprised more people did not comment on her vocal...something was very odd about both songs. I could barely even hear the band on Landslide, minus Jana. Lori sounded fanfriggintastic on both songs...I am SO happy she is back. I think the last time I saw her live before 2005, was 1996! Lori and Sharon should be the only background singers from now on. Sorry Jana!

Jana's voice does not mesh with Stevies AT ALL. There were certain notes in that performance that Lori brought back that really MADE the song. So glad shes back. I thought Rhiannon was awesome.

I agree. I think Stevie trying to project & belting it out live on stage diminishes her range. In the studio, it's a different story - more control over her instrument. And 20 tries to get it right.

Damn straight! I know it's been said before, but Jana's screetching hurts my ears!

Stevie was good, but seeing her on TV just does not compare to seeing her live. Maybe on TV it's hard for her to generate the kind of excitement a live audience can provide, I dunno. It's even hard for her to maintain the excitement for more than one show sometimes, so I'm not sure how to pinpoint what makes her "on" during any given performance. My wish for this upcoming tour is consistent greatness.

Kelly is not a Jana fan. I love Fall From Grace and on the TISL tour it was super but oh my, Jana just ruins the song now, with the screeching. It is too much. She overpowers Stevie, instead of compliments her. I thought she would mellow out and eventually learn how to enhance Stevie's vocals but that has not happened. Lori completely made Rhiannon today..her harmonies were beautiful, different and totally spot on. She and Sharon just mesh with Stevie better...they are compatible and have been together so long it comes naturally. Jana seems to be more of a "lead singer" and that is not good for what Stevie needs.
Lori deserves some major props for her performance today!
