...and people flip out when someone says something mean about Stevie on Perezhilton

Now I am no fan of Miley Cyrus, but whats the deal? Who cares if she's on with Stevie. She has certainly become a huge star.

Sooooo envious you were there to witness it live! YAY!! Stevie sang 2 songs!!
How was Stevie in the Interview? and Secret Love?

The interview was ok. Nothing new really. She totally downplayed how much she partied. Made it sound like her and Christine were very sheltered and went back to their room and watched movies after the show. Talked about how she stays looking young - always washes her make up off, washes her face three times a day, massages her face, uses La Mer.

Secret Love was really good. Stevie was really into it. I was close enough that I wanted to tell her I couldn't wait for her new album to come out but you could tell she was getting into the moment to perform.

Yes, Sheryl did Landslide with her. Came out about a quarter of the way through. About a 10 minute interview but I would imagine it will be edited down. It was only Stevie and Oprah at first and then they brought Sheryl out too.

No, she did not say anything about the new album. Oprah just mentioned that it was called In Your Dreams and would be out May 3rd. They didn't discuss it in the interview. A wasted opportunity for some promotion, if you ask me.

I don't know. I wasn't watching Oprah while Stevie was performing. Really though, who doesn't know Landslide.

Oh, it's spelled "BenAtar"...

Sorry.

No, she had her boots on with the legwarmers over them.

She sounded good on Landslide. Nothing new on it, really. I'm pretty tired of Landslide, tbh. She looked good. Nothing that looked noticeably new in the wardrobe. Same old. She said Margi Kent makes all her clothes. Yes, she had the boots on.

I can't wait to see the show air. I'm interested to see how it is edited. To everyone that was there, I'm glad you all had a great time. I know I did!

camchristo-Thanks for taking the time to respond to our questions. Sounds like the interview was far from earth shattering, I mean, I wash my face 3x a day use La Mer...etc., ick! But I guess that inside beauty tidbits thing is what Oprah's demographic eats up And color me a little surprised that Stevie downplayed and didn't reveal a little more on her colorful past, especially considering her recent interview with UK's The Guardian And really, after her statements of the last year recording In Your Dreams with Dave at her house, being near the best year of her life - I'm really surprised nothing was mentioned on the making of the new record! (wasted opportunity) Oh well, its exposure nonetheless, and look forward to watching. I was just hoping for a really special interview. From the sounds of it, I'd better keep my expectations in check.

Matt said just about everything I can think of so I'll add in my 2 cents. The theme of the show seemed to be Queens of rock(music) with younger artists who consider them their idols. ex. Miley with her Idol Joan Jett Avril with Pat. When Matt and I met Stevie I asked her if it was true that she was playing Glastonbury and she said yes. She said In Your Dreams is her "rumours" album, and that for the tour they will or would like (I forget) to play a lot of places they don't normally get to. She mentioned Europe, but that could just be these 2 shows. I mentioned how solo she hadn't played Ottawa in 22 years at our exhibition fair. (That's what prompted her to tell me the above.) I think (fingers crossed) she might do a short europe tour in June or July then she will play usa/canada in the late summer/fall. During the taping they mentioned how Sheryl was 5 years cancer free. Sheryl said "that Stevie said something like you can't have kids cause you write bad songs." and Stevie was all "I never said that hey lol."

It was an amazing time but my only complain is that miley and avril sounded ok (vocally) when singing next to their idols. ex. PAT B is so talented. Avril I like but her chops are not as strong as Pats. (just sayin) Pat,Joan,and Stevie talked about sexism and having to break through in a male domimated world. Pat talked about guys being all "sit on my lap (kissing noise) and I'll play your record. Stevie told the stories of being a waitress and house cleaner, and how for 1 day Lindsey was a telemarketer. LOL.

How did Oprah introduce Stevie Nicks and did she Sheryl say Stevie was her idol.

[WildHearted]

bahahahahha I had not heard about Lindsey being a telemarketer..

That is so incredibly amusing to me.

She played a short video about Stevies history, then called her out. Sheryl did talk about how she and stevie first met. etc.

No problem. It was really weird cause she usually rambles on and on about how she has a whole in her nose from coke and how Klonopin almost killed her. Maybe she was just referring to sleeping around, i.e. the groupie question. But she really made it seem like her and Christine were pretty innocent. I know about the album talk. She didn't even mention Dave Stewart. Stevie said nothing about the new album at all, that I can recall. It was just Oprah mentioning the name of it and when it comes out. Stevie needs a lesson in self-promotion.

Sheryl said that Stevie told her not to have kids and Stevie was all, "I did not! Sheryl Crow, I did not say that. You are in trouble." Sherly never backpedaled on that.

I hope you had a great time too! It will be very interesting for you to see how they edit. I went to a Leno taping last year and when I watched it back just a few hours later, they definitely cut and reordered some things. It's cool to watch it though and know how it really went down.

Was there any evidence that they were taping anything for Oprah's behind the scenes show?

yes, at one point a couple of the producers came out when the stage was being changed and she said it was being filmed for the behind the scenes show...also whoever asked what stevie was wearing..she was wearing the same outfit she wore for the saturday night show..sigh...nothing ever changes...

Those girls were nuns!

Thanks for the report.

Aside from the official ABC show, if some of the outtakes from this are going to be on OWN I hope it is listed in regular tv programming, so I can know when to tape.

That's great! I really hope it makes it into an episode. Was anyone on here interviewed for any behind the scenes footage?

And was there any reference to the fact that the audience was filled with people who wrote in and campaigned to be there?

Guess she was cleaning up her act for a daytime audience. I'd be interested to see how prim she'd become for Regis and Kelly.

"Well, you know Reeg, I lived at home with my parents until my father passed away."

Of course, the security guards probably DID keep a close eye on Christine and Stevie -- because they were sleeping with them!

In one of the limo tapes, Stevie is complaining that she was alone in her room alone and Christine or Mick says that they were doing something and she demands to know why they didn't call her. She spent the night trying to get a dress ironed or something. If she didn't have a few quiet days in those years, I suppose the hole in her nose would be the size of a half dollar.
