Cant Stevie just release some new songs at least on itunes? I would just love it if she threw us a new song every new and then if she doesnt want to record an entire album. I need something new.

I"m with ya here. We don't ask for much. I would totally happy with a new song or two every year. Of course I"d love a full album but anything new would be nice.

Um I was directing that at one person not the entire community here. Everything that op posts is negative.

I will?

I don't.

Why would someone post this?

I do not believe it at all.

Nor do I know why my name is on this thread.

David is fond of making references to me, it appears.

I don't know about Stevie, but for me, FM lost their coolness factor with the kiddie-sing-along at the end of Say You Will.

Probably Enchanted tour. It was just after The Dance and she was still able to sing her own songs without sounding too annoying.

I voted with "Still rocking".......but with reservations!
I do feel as if she's become somewhat predictable live.....sort of a "Greatest Hits" Vegas act. I want more surprises, more "WOW!!" moments.
Sadly, I have the same feeling about Fleetwood Mac....I doubt I'll see this tour, and they've been my favorite band for 33 years!
I don't believe in living in the past, buuuut......!!!!!

Still think she has it in her to surprise us, though!

EWWWW, I hate that part. Still doesn't match the beginning of "Everybody Finds Out" for awfulness though. That tinny effect put on Stevie's voice for the first verse? *hurl*

It's as if the engineers or the producers were deliberately trying to emphasize the nasality of her voice by electronically dropping the low end out.

I think it may have been an example of deliberate aesthetic decisionmaking, shoving something in our face as listeners, making us confront the singer's nasality openly, & perhaps by practically wallowing in it, transforming it for us.

For me, the mechanical sound works, goes along with the lyric, because it sounds like they're almost describing something clinical. Observing a patient in an operating room. You know how they have people who can watch the procedure behind a glass just outside of the operating room? That's what it reminds me of. "We see no change in sight, watching her decline." I think the sound effect on Stevie's voice goes with that mood.

Oh yeah, I'm not a fan of the kids at the end of SYW. Makes me nauseous. I used to think it was Lindsey changing his voice, but then it turned out to be real kids. Oh brother!

Something was gone after Enchanted...really the only exposure i have to that tour is the woodstock show, and it is totally great. she was still doing the ad-lid little screams and growls, and was just kind of wild. she seems so happy too. she was probably high. her voice doesnt really sound great, but either did it on the wh tour but everyone loves that-she doesnt sound like she is belting everything like she does now- i guess before she got her "vocal coach"? That was the last of "old" stevie i think. now, like others have said, its a more "vegas" greatest hits-type act, which i really think is unfortunate.
