Stevie confirmed on Oprah

[Dodfather]

Thank you to everyone who was at the Oprah show and has taken the time to update all of us with the details! I'll only be able to watch this online once it airs because Oprah isn't shwon in the UK, or at least not on any channels I get. Will the whole episode be online? It sounds great!!

[WildHearted]

What time DOES the Oprah show air?

I know it's on Wednesday, but I'd like to catch it when it first shows, if possible...

A kind soul out there will have to rip this into a file and upload it to mediafire or some other file distribution site. Oprah is notorious for removing copyrighted material from YouTube like a hawk.

4:00 in my area (and I think most others?) but her website should have listings.

I know - it's infuriating! She doesn't even have episodes on her official site. How are people supposed to see them if they're not in the US? I would happily view them on her official site if I could.

I can understand why she's careful about youtube--having worked in television I've seen how the internet is killing the industry. She has every right to protect her material.
But it makes me nutty that she doesn't post full eps online or at least sell them on iTunes. There are a number of eps I would pay good money to see--what's the sense in making them basically inaccessible?

Good luck to those outside the US--I'm afraid I have no idea how shredding works or I would try to do it myself.

Oh I absolutely agree. As I said, I have no problem watching episodes on any official site at all. I agree about youtube and while I of course will watch stuff there I won't be too annoyed if it's not there because there are valid reasons not to do it. As you say though, making them totally inaccessable is another thing and that's what bugs me. Oh well, never mind.

I'm sure it will and I hope they give a description too because I don't ever watch Behind the Scenes.

I think some of the footage will. There was a time when they were switching out sets and two of the producers were having an argument on stage. One of the main stage dudes asked them to please take their argument off the stage so they could get the set changed out and the behind the scenes people were following with their mics. At one point, Oprah was thanking the audience for their patience with the length of the show. She said they usually film a show in an hour but it was taking a lot longer because of the changing of the sets. My friend said "No problem, it's totally worth it" and Oprah said, "I know, it is, isn't it?" And the camera/mic crew filmed that exchange.

There were no "interviews" with anyone that I saw during the taping but there might have been some back stage stuff that went on. I would imagine there would be.

No mention at all about how the audience was chosen. In fact, listening to people talk in the waiting area, I would say a majority of the people there were NOT there for any of the guests. They were just there because they had been trying to get tickets to Oprah forever. They were there because they loved Oprah, not Stevie or Joan or Pat. A shame.

"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.

Ha!

I'm sure some savvy person will be able to record this and upload for you. I would but I am not at all technically gifted.

I'm near Chicago and it airs at 9:00 am with a rerun at 11:00 pm.


On a side note, the producers were telling us what to do up front and said that at the end, they wanted us singing and dancing like crazy. They said that the crowd behind us would be watching us and would do what we did. For Landslide, they had the crowd wear these blue finger lights and wave their hands in the air. CHEESY. However, they figured out that the hands in the air were blocking their shots and we were told to put our hands down. They told us not to wear the finger lights until "We are Family". At that point, we had to put on four finger lights. Blue, red, green and white. I'm curious to see how that looks. Hopefully not too stupid.

Pat Benatar said that she "did some taping" for Oprah's Behind The Scenes show. So, I'm guessing there's a good chance that this show will be an episode of BTS.

[mikebise]

When are the Behind The Scenes episodes aired? Same day as Stevie is on? DirecTV only lists that one show for Stevie all week.

Plus, is that on OWN or WE?

They are on OWN. I have seen some and they seem to typically trail the actually airing of the show by at least a few weeks.

But given that the talk show is winding down maybe the wait won't be so long. I think, don't quote me, the new ones air on fri nights.


Edit: Oops, looks like the new episodes are Sundays.

OPL employee’s inspiration from Stevie Nicks’ music strikes perfect note with Oprah Winfrey Show
Posted in Employee recognition, Health and wellness

The power of music can take us back to special moments and people or help us to overcome difficult times. For Ottawa Public Library employee, Matthew Denison, Stevie Nicks’ music has been an inspirational force in changing his life.
Over their 30 years, Matthew and his twin brother have coped with learning disabilities, stuttering, and seizures. They also have experienced difficulties in making friends and finding employment. Stevie Nicks’ music has been a source of inspiration and motivation for Matthew, especially her 1986 single Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You. He attributes the powerful and inspirational messages in her songs in helping him carry on and overcome adversity.

As part of her talk show’s final season, Oprah Winfrey asked fans to suggest potential guests who have never appeared over the show’s 25 years. That call to action had Matthew sending an e-mail to the show’s producers to plead his case for the former Fleetwood Mac singer, Stevie Nicks. After reading his e-mail, Oprah Winfrey’s staff wanted to know more about his story. Furthermore, Oprah’s website has requested to hear from all fans of Stevie Nicks and more specifically why they want to meet the singer.

To further the chances of making his dream a reality, Matthew and his older sister also launched a Facebook campaign to help get on the show and meet the artist that has touched his life. We’re thrilled to report that all of Matthew’s hard work and determination has paid off. His wish to pay tribute to Stevie Nicks takes flight today as he makes his way to Chicago. And he will be front and centre tomorrow at the Oprah Winfrey Show taping headlined by a singer who has struck a powerful and positive note in his life.

Check out the show on Wednesday, April 13 and see how this story ends and a dream comes true.

What a great story!! Very inspirational. I like to see more stories like this. City of Ottawa employees are hard and dedicated workers. They are also individuals who have dreams and aspirations. People with lives outside of work. It is refreshing to see another side of a city employee. In The Loop – Keep up the great work!

HAH!! SOMEONE SAID IT... THAT'S PRETTY COOL!

I'm just back from a wonderful Chicago weekend with the girls. Well, it looks like everyone has given you a very full update . I only have a few things to add. Stevie held Sheryl's hand for the whole part of the sit down interview after Sheryl came out. Sheryl said Stevie was one of the first people she called when she got her breast cancer diagnosis and Stevie jumped in and added that she told Sheryl "You are NOT going to die from cancer!" It looked like Sheryl got a little emotional at that point. Oprah added it's all about attitude... When Stevie denied having told Sheryl not to have children because it would make her stop writing songs, Stevie said it with that same voice that she used when she was arguing with Lindsey in the Destiny Rules doc. Stevie was adamant. I wonder if this will get edited out.

Oprah asked Stevie when she knew she was famous, was it at the Rumours grammy show? Stevie said that night was awful and then there was a long pause. I wish Oprah had jumped in there and got Stevie to explain why, but Stevie back pedaled and went into her semi -rehearsed stories . I thought a lot of the interview was the same old thing but it was great to see the back and forth with Sheryl. I wished they had talked about the new cd.

I thought Stevie and Sheryl did a great job on Landslide and Secret Love was fantastic.

Pat Benatar put on a great performance. She still has that voice.

My friend got her rock and roll makeover. She looked great. She got to say hello to Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks in the make-up room. She said Sharon was really sweet. Unfortunately the makeovers won't get much air time if any because the show ran so long. I hope they will show some of them on the behind the scenes show. They were taping for that too. I do not know when it will air.

I got to say hello to Stevie when she was leaving. I was not chosen to meet her like Matt (lucky you!) but I was in the right place at the right time as she was leaving. She smiled and was absolutely stunning. There was a little white dog with them running around without a leash. Is this Karen's dog? Very Cute, he seemed to know right where to go.

My friend caught up to Stevie outside and asked her to sign a Buckingham Nicks album but she said no because she couldn't stand in the rain (It was overcast but not raining). I guess she is quite a diva! Disappointed she wouldn't sign the album but we had a really great time! No complaints.
