Why is anyone surprised that she's performing "Secret Love" and "Landslide"? Stevie isn't trying to sell us, her "hardcore" and devoted fanbase her album, she's selling to the casual fan and/or new fan.

The reason why she performs the same songs over again is because that is what the public wants. I can guarantee the public-at-large did not think "Landslide" on Oprah was "boring".

Landslide is a classic. Secret Love, in my opinion, will not get people to buy the album. Italian Summer would of been perfect for this. Infact, they could of done a dance to this song. I'm just thinking that Secret Love was chosen as the first single because it is the easiest song for Stevie to sing off that album. I really think that is what this is about.

Well that is one of the reasons why certain songs are chosen as singles. I'm sure she could perform "Italian Summer" but it would be very stripped down and not as grandiose as the studio version.

Pretty much she will be riding out "Secret Love" until Reprise decides to release a new single. And the song is STILL climbing at AC radio, so they are just riding the wave right now.

I've made many a similar posting before. Trust me, I cannot say more than what I *can* say.

I'm not a Secret Love fan either but the ratings for DWTS are huge so hopefully it will help boost album sales.

This show was my moms favorite tv show.I will be tuned in next week.

I don't have a problem with hearing either... Everyone young and old will know and enjoy Landslide... Secret Love hasn't been played on primetime tv yet... It's really it's first LARGE audience.. we're talking massive.. so it's all good. More people will hear this song watching this one show then if she toured for months and months.

is a great, catchy song! arguably the most marketeable song on the CD. let her get it out to 15million people! i love IYD, but until Repreise gets behind something else, that's the horse she has to ride.

not much of a wave, more of a ripple. Will be soo excited to see what is released next.

It can be but I'm reminded of last October when Heart was on 'DWTS' and their new album was mentioned so all Heart fans were excited because of the exposure to the new CD but I have yet to hear if it's atleast gone gold!

Stevie's in the same boat as Ann & Nancy, same era and ect so I hope it helps with her new CD as well!

yeah, this isn't glee or american idol. She may get some sales from this, but not much, especially promoting the wrong material.

Secret Love is not going to get anyone to buy the album if she sings it the way she has been singing it recently. Maybe it is just me, but I don't think SL sounds good live. Maybe when you are there in the audience, but on youtube and on Ellen, it sounds bleh. It would sound a lot better if Stevie didn't feel the need to yell the whole damn song. You May Be The One would probably be the easiest one to sing live. For What It's Worth would be pretty easy too, but when she gets on stage she goes into yell mode, so instead of singing it softly and turning up the mic, she'd go belt it out at the top of her voice. Oh Stevie...

ITS HER NEW SINGLE!

Did you follow her when TISL came out? She played her singles to death on every public appearance in 2001. Its the same deal. Its NOT because its easiest to sing, its NOT because shes afraid to try new songs, its NOT because she was sick and hasn't rehearsed. SECRET LOVE IS HER NEW SINGLE, THAT IS WHY SHE IS PLAYING IT.

APerfectLie · #60 05-14-2011, 01:46 AM

I understand why she is doing Landslide. It is a classic, it sounds good when she sings it, and everybody loves it. However, it is a Fleetwood Mac song. A Fleetwood Mac song she has beat to death! Why not do Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You? It'd be just as good without the overkill factor.
