Hannah Montana To Remake "Bella Donna"

iamnotafraid · #1 07-29-2008, 11:58 PM

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine Miley Cyrus was quoted as saying "my next CD will be a remake of Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna". She went on to say that it was one of her dads favorite albums, hence her familiarity with all the songs. And she had recently used the new Apple Computer program V.D.C.A. (Voice Database Comparison Analyzer). And it turned out >87% on similiarity between her and Stevie's voices. So her father contacted Jimmy Iovine (produced Bella Donna) to see what he thought of the idea of a remake. And he wasn't interested until they sent him the V.D.C.A. test results. Not only did Mr. Iovine think it was a good idea, he wants to produce it himself. As long as he can choose her duet partner for the song "Leather and Lace". She agreed and the project has a green light. Recording will start in December 2008 with hope of an March '09 release. With a major concert tour to support the album.

Sounds a bit like MORE Rolling Stone crap-a-zine B.S. gossip to me, why remake a classic - especially when the singer is a 'teeny-bopper'? I doubt her fan-base would understand the idea...

I guess next we'll hear the Jonas bros. will remake the classic Slayer album "Reign in Blood" and see if Rick Rubin (Who 'produced' the Slayer classic) would be interested in 'producing' it. One can only hope the Naked brothers band can remake Deicide's classic "Legion"...

Yeah.

How long did it take you to come up with/write that? I'm going to put the over/under at 40 minutes.

If this is true, I think it's actually a really intresting thing. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. covering like Edge or Stand Back would suck, but this whole recreating Bella Donna thing would be awseome. And the whole voice thing is kind of true. My dad heard the song seven on the radio and said he swore she sounded like Stevie Nicks when she was young. I can kind of see it too. Imagine her follow up tour. Miley Cyrus would have a concert filled half way with Stevie Nicks songs (more then you get to hear at a Stevie Nicks show by the way

). Do you have any idea how popular this chick is. I bet Stevie's version of BD would sell another million copies just from these newly exposed youngsters wanteing to hear the original version of the album. And really most of all, I think the prospect of maybe hearing a cover of Kind of Woman (Who the hell knows what songs they'd pick as singles?) just as an example maybe being played all day and night on the radio, thrills me.

NO ONE can copy Stevie's album "Bella Donna" even if the voice sounds similar. Everybody is unique and if you're trying "to be" Stevie Nicks you're not unique anymore. That's my opinion.

Alright, I'll easily say that I am AGAINST this thing completely. Hope it isn't true. The only positive thing that I could see coming from it would be that Stevie gets more exposure, and that could prompt her to do some more stuff..

But I am against this. I do not like Miley.

I hope people don't kill the messenger. Hopefully iamnotafraid will share where this information came from. It seems like a bad business choice for Miley. Miley has a large kiddie fan base and would probably sell a lot of albums, but wouldn't Stevie make most of the profits, as the songs would be hers? I can't see anyone letting her do this (including her father)--except maybe Stevie!

miley doing stevie?, this would just make me ill~
what's w/ these pop kiddies trying to be stevie?~ yes we all know stevie is fabulous~

Story is complete bullsh*t. Lots of reasons why, one being that her fan base would have zero interest in an album of this sort, two being Jimmy Iovine doesn't produce anymore, three being that I don't believe that Billy Ray Cyrus is a Stevie fan, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are big Stevie/Mac fans and THEIR kids know all the words to the "Bella Donna" album. Faith has said that her daughter loves singing along to "After The Glitter Fades". Tim and Faith ended their fist Soul 2 Soul tour with a duet of "Go You Own Way".
And the last reason why the story is complete false is when you do a search for it at Rolling Stone, nothing comes up.

Busted!

That's my favorite song on "Bella Donna."

I don't know what a hanna montana is, but this idea is ok with me as long as they spell "Bella Donna" as two words.

I have a picture which I don't feel like digging up right now of Billy Ray with Sheryl Crow and Stevie. They look chummy. I'm sure many of you have seen this picture.

I care not for love nor money..nor this foolish idea - whether it is true or not.

I doubt Miley Montana Hanna Citrus can even begin to grasp the essence of the album "Bella Donna" .. I doubt she can even understand the lyrics.. And I'm sorry, but even the best of sound-alikes don't cut it for me - They can't what Stevie does in her original music.

Maybe when the girl decides on one name..one identity.. she'll have more positive attention from me.
