Just sayin'.


exactly. I mean, if someone did a cover of edge, we would rip them up and tear them down.


oh. wait.


well, that really doesn't count. whorehan is without talent. But seriously. I'm not a fan of covers, mostly because I'm a creature of habit. I like it the original way it was done and I don't want anyone messing with it. But i'm glad she took a risk and I hope the response she got (which from the crowd seemed pretty good) it will encourage her to shake things up a bit.

No argument here! I loved the way Stevie shot her down in the press about the so called Fleetwood Mac movie. Thank God we don't have to her about Lojack these daze.

Well......

I was at the show, AND I am a huge Dave Matthews Band fan. I nearly dropped to the ground when I heard my favorite girl sing a song from my 2nd all time favorite band. Second to Fleetwood Mac of course.

Anyway, I liked her interpretation. It definitely had a more sexy feel to the performance than DMB puts out. Sheis 100% singing to someone in particular. I have my ideas of who and why but I wont get into it.

I don't think it holds a candle to the original because of the missing instruments used on the real track (i.e. violin, saxaphone) but I dug the version. I am going to be at the Soundstage taping and cant wait for the song. The band plans on fine tuning it more before Thursday she says.

exactly right...it was sexy as hell. hsml was hot too....stevie was basically on fire all night. she's so got it...i don't know why she doesn't bring that side of her out more often. my mind was not the only one being blown - i heard a ton of "oh my freaking gods" from the people around me.

i thought it was a very interesting, and coincidental (for me at least) choice. i'm not a dmb fan, but 'crash' is the one song of theirs that i like. the 'everyday' video feels like a nighttime version of dmb's 'crash' video, imo.

i think it's interesting to know what stevie is like in real life, like what she listens to driving in the car being driven.

To be honest, I had more respect for her when I didn't know what she really listens to- other than Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, of course. I think she has mentioned liking Craig David, Janet Jackson, Maroon 5, Michelle Branch, Justin Timberlake, etc. In a nutshell, Mama is a bubblegum chewing, hair-twirling teenybopper!

It would have been really pretty if she had done the falsetto notes towards the end. Stevie has such a beautiful falsetto.

I'm a Dave Matthews fan too (even if his last album I really loved was Before these crowded streets) I liked how Stevie did the song.The different tempo is a good choice, it made the song more in her chords.

p.s Thanks a lot for the video!

OMFG. i literally spent months and months listening to this song on repeat back in high school. now if she'll just cover bush's Glycerine and smashing pumpkins' Disarm, the ninth grader deep within me will be fulfilled.

it's kinda dirty hearing mama nicks sing "i come into you" and "hike up your skirt"... it's also kinda hott. i'd love to see the look on her face, so i do hope this makes it into the show.

honestly, i though you were all lying about this.

I didnt like it (I was there). In fairness, Iam not at all a fan of Dave mathews Band so maybe thats why. It seemed to me that Stevie was struggling through it. Its abysmally slow and almost has to be sung as a folk song or staccato. Almost every word or verse has to be pronounced in that song. It doesnt flow well. Her voice does not lend itself to this song. Silver Spring would have been a better choice and she had two guitarists and the band to back her on it as well.

really? see, I couldn't disagree more. I think the song fits her voice wonderfully. I like the slight twist her voice gives the song.
