She's good - but I can tooootally see how her voice could remind someone of Stevie's.

I didn't even really think of La Nicks until the song "Losing Heart" 8 songs in where the influence was very obvious to me.The girl has an awesome ability to switch keys on a dime. I really hope her career esculates ..We need a great young woman rock star who really has the goods.

Question

After a lot of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that there is NO One in this Universe who even comes close in my opinion to Stevie. And I think the reason why is that there may be a little part of something that slightly reminds me of her in someone, but then there will be something major that just blows it, like they'll throw out a Sarah Mcglachlan howl or I'll hear something, than see the real being on T.V with a Melissa Etheridge like masculinity thrown in or something~ Something always ruins it! Like this girl in the video thats been posted is great~ I like her and she has a little scratchy thing going on with her voice but she's kinda grundgy with her jeans. And any woman who's actually playing the guitar like they're on a mission ( she IS good) but this is just not Stevie to me~ a person like Stevie needs to have a little more femininity,and littleness, and cuteness,and in a magic way! Stevie's a hard one to follow! She 's just too unique voice ~wise, lyric~wise,
dress style~wise, and performance~wise.
"Once in a billion years~ a lady like her rises"~
Jenni
If I had to choose cause I'd be shot or something~
Sometimes Natalie Merchant reminds me of Stevie performance wise cause she can be bewitching~ and mysterious and passionate, and the lead singer of the band The Sundays always had a cute sheepish little voice like a young Stevie~ but she's got this English accent thing going on! Its always Something!

That is the quality in her voice that initial struck me as something she and Stevie have (had?) in common. Actually, Stevie can still do it, just within a way smaller range. This lady still has all her pipes, a la old Stevie.

Default most nicksian song by an artist other than stevie

Probably the song "Caroline" by Concrete Blonde. Johnette Napolitano is as haunting as Stevie is, especially in her lyrics and voice.
Gotta love the "hauntedness"!

I'd have to say These Dreams right off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others, but it's so her and it was offered to her.
