I'm no apologist for Stevie, but I took the dust comment a bit favorably, like she didn't want anyone else to ruin their clothes by inadvertently sitting on dusty furniture. I didn't think of it as snobbish. I guess because there are so many places where I don't feel comfortable sitting. I'm not polite enough to warn other people though!

 I love Stevie to pieces, but seriously Stevie... GET A GRIP! At this rate shes's on track by years end we'll hear her blaming everything from music piracy to her being down with pneumonia the 1st two weeks after her album was released for it not selling well. Stevie was well aware of the music industry realities when she went in to record IYD, and shrugged it off saying she did not care if it didn't sell. Well, she obviously cares...a lot! Gaga and others (Fleet Foxes, Adele etc.) have done a brilliant thing by pricing their new releases accordingly to capitalize on units sold in the 1st few weeks of release in lieu of people hearing the music and thus hopefully creating demand & translating to buying concert tickets. WB stubbornly priced Stevie's IYD at a higher price than most of the other new releases. CD's do not cost $18- she's really out of touch - Oh, did I say that already!?  And she needs to fire the greedy monster (WB) for not discounting IYD sooner. If they had priced IYD for 9.99 at online retailers like Itunes & Amazon before and after it's May 3rd release, IYD would have sold many more copies thus far, and MORE people would have heard it by now Stevie!! Also with a brand as tangible and identifiable as Stevie's - WB have also failed (once again) in getting her more media and internet exposure. Whoever is running her Twitter or Facebook accounts is doing a fantastically LOUSY job and are missing many opportunities - there are few updates considering she just released a new CD (HELLO), they could post new pictures every week, song teasers/videos etc. etc.!!! In just a few months Stevie has a built up over 355K fans to market to on FB alone up from @100K back in January. And, I know it's like beating a dead horse but the Nicksfix really should have been completely overhauled with this new release! Sorry, John Kinney, but you need to be fired too! As well as whoever is advising/managing Stevie these days - get rid of the old guard Stevie (the ones that advised you to tour with Rod Stewart) and start surrounding yourself with savvy younger advisers & managers. Because you're absolutely right, you may have just put out your best work ever, and it deserves to be heard! Last edited by Christopher; 05-26-2011 at 11:25 AM..

I think Stevie is still stuck in her "superstar" mentality and ego at times, IE: Everything promo-wise is done for the artist (billboards, trade ads, etc).
She needs to #1: Get a computer. Get involved with her fans via the internet, that is the best way to get any message out to them. #2: Get a reality check. Established artists have to WORK HARD to get their albums heard and sold these days, and yes, it does take gimmicks such as selling an album @ $.99 for a day. Reality check Stevie, it's not 1993 anymore  Still love her tho!

Eh...she's had a tough month, in a way. She's cross and I forgiver her. One only has about a week to sell a record and she missed about 5 of those days being sick. She could have done 100 more interviews the week of the release and she wasn't able to--maybe that would have garnered 25K more copies in first week sales. The chance to sell a significant amount of copies of IYD is over, she knows it, and she's pissed.

 The thing is, she could still sell more records by deep discounting IYD (to get the record heard by more than just her rabid fan base) and tour while actually singing new songs (not just 1) from the new album. If she goes back on the road again with Rod and sings just 1 or 2 new song from this record - IYD is done. In fact, while her bank account (along with her managers/lawyers) may have benefitted from the H&S tour. I think it was a huge miscalculation for prepping In Your Dreams. It cost her promoting IYD right out of the gate - rested, relaxed & optimistic, as well potentially costing her launching a solo IYD summer tour with her own special guest opener.
