I don't really see the link between Stevie and Lady GaGa other than the fact they are both women and have recognisable styles, but you could say that about a whole host of female icons in the pop world. I'd say LG would be better off writing a thank you note to Deborah Harry or Madonna for paving the way to her look rather than Stevie.
Also Lady GaGa has been around all of five minutes, for the next album she may change her style completely (something Stevie never really did, she even calls her clothes a "uniform"), in fact I'd bet on it.

I have to add-

"Poker Face"- quite possibly THE worst "mainstream" even remotely-commercially successful song I've ever heard in my entire life. The music video for the song ranks amongst the highest of the high on the unintentional comedy scale- off the charts.

Totally agree with you 100%.

I don't compare Lady Ga Ga and Stevie Nicks together
saw a performance of lady GaGa on Ellen a few days ago and was not impressed i thought she sucked to tell you the truth she is in the same category as britney and christina more than Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks is a well rounded true artist and she sings live when she is on shows and and to me Stevie Nicks is a Rock or Classic Rock performer not a pop dance artists and in my opinion stevie nicks has more talent in her pinky than lady gaga has in her whole body she dresses trashy lady gaga should be a stripper on the las vegas strip thats what she looked like on ellen and her performace was terrible i though no vocal either another rap singer why dont people sing i am sure she has singing voice if you do use it. Everyone I hear says oh how great lady gaga is and found her not to be all the hype people are talking about but I am old school at heart love my classic rock and stuff from the 50's.60's,70's,80's i do love madonna and chaka khan if you want to get were its dance and r&b funk.

i dont know why are we comparing lady gaga with Stevie Nicks Stevie is a rock legend Icon and lady gaga is another dance pop star dressing like pole dancer. there is a big difference between the two singers.

I can't believe someone found a tie between Lady GaGa and Stevie Nicks...ridiculous...they had to REALLY stretch to find that link.

Anyone remember Dale Bozio of Missing Persons? I think GaGa definitely ripped her off.

Yes I was just going to right that in out of anyone comparing her to yes Dale Bozio I love Dale Bozio better than lady gaga she acts like she is something new and Dale has already done that. Stevie Nicks used on crystal visions tour right before she came on she would play "Destination Unknown"by The Missing Persons love the song and group as well yes Lady GaGa is ripping off Dale Bozio totally.

Ugh. I totally don't get the appeal of Lady GaGa. I would have never in a million years thought to compare her to Stevie.

Besides, I don't think I've ever seen Stevie at the airport in her Rhiannon wings...LG can't seem to go anywhere without doing everything she can to draw attention to herself. I think its kind of sad.
sadly with LG, it has become more about being famous than the actual music.
and with Stevie, music always came first.

IMO that is why there can never be any comparison between the two

2040?!?

She'll be a near-unanimous laughingstock by 2014 (and that's being generous)

Lady Gaga makes me gag gag. She is so over-hyped by the media. I believe the reason she's popular/interesting is soley because of the silly name she gave herself. I've seen her many times on TV. She's a just a character, and hosts/reporters love say her name. It's a completely subjective opinion, but there is nothing appealing about her - not her voice, not her music, not her appearance or demeanor. Her novelty can only be sustained for so long. Representing worst of what proposes to be talent, I hope she disappears as quickly as she appeared.

I also dislike lady gaga,

Although i believe she wrote some of the songs on her album
So, i'm willing to give her credit for that,
There are too many phonies in the music industry these days who don't even write their own songs...
So although she's tacky and just plain crap, at least she can write a song, unlike your average lindsay's, britney's and paris'

I was never more convinced than I was last night watching the VMA's how completely WRONG it is to make any sort of comparison between Stevie to LG. I was looking at her last night in her various "costumes" thinking how grossed out I was that anyone could even mention her in the same breath as Stevie...that is just wrong, wrong, wrong! Of course, then LG got on stage to accept an award and thanked Jimmy Iovine which I thought brought it all a little too close to home
