Oh please, no offense taken, I just think that we ALL, (me included) can get caught up in just wanting her out there doing her Stevie thing.

I want the FM album and TOUR, baby!!

and of course, I hope that means a little attention, (cough) respect, from VH1 in the way of coverage and publicity.....

They didn't promote Mick Jagger's album, or the Who Tour, or John Mellancamp, who is touring right now, so I'm not expecting too much, but Stevie did get more hype over TISL than Jagger or Mellancamp, so I should just shut up and be happy!

As far as asking Stevie to get to Sheryl, well, who knows what those suits think............Britney and Christina'll be on it next year.
(shudder, shudder) , right up there with Cher, Celine, oh, and Aretha will have to come back next year cause she wasn't there this time.





Bleck.

Whoa...did i miss something here? Sheryl is gonna be on there too?? Where did all this stuff come from about them using Stevie to get Sheryl...i mean it seems logical..and totally schiesty..the bastards...but i haven't heard anything about Sheryl being there..oy vay..this line-up is gonna be a trip if it all comes to fruition...

[goldustboi]

all i can say is...about bl**dy time!
maybe the line-up is a bit cheesy but Stevie does deserve recognition and I'm sure with her own style she'll be able to out perform the rest of 'em and do something a bit more original. With people like Mary J Blige (who, admittedly is v.good IMO) getting 'diva' status already, I'm just glad Stevie can show them what being a REAL diva is all about..!
(altho I must admit, Shakira is pretty damn cool aswell!)

[Bella Figura]

Sarah, all the "invite Stevie and get Sheryl as a bonus" is just in my twisted mind...there has been no official confirmation that either one will be on Diva's tho, Diva's is been known to get really big stars at the last minute...

I was just putting forth my theory about why Stevie would be invited since she has little in common with the current guest list...

so it's all my idea, my rumour ...

[LauraTN]

I don't give two ****s about Celine's tired self indulged ass! VH1 has lost their damned mindes....I mean for cripes sake...the purpose of new shows and programing is to make things fresh and exciting! How many times do we have to hear My Hear Will Go On while she slaps herself in the chest 20 times nearly knocking her boney ass down!?!?!?
Now what I don't mind seeing (but I doubt VH1 has sense enough to try something bold)...is Stevie and Mary J! Wooodawg! Talk about something good. I think the Chicks are a decent idea..and maybe even Cher...but...why not get some new blood on that stage? Everyone but Stevie, Shakari and I think the Chicks have been on at least one Diva's if not more.
I still think Stevie and Mary J should do something wicked like No More Drama or Family Affair (is that her song the up beat tempoed one?) Or...At Last...I think they could kick ass on that one.
Ok sorry Im so opinionated today...must be hormones?

LMAO!!!!

I am so with you today on that one!!

[golddustchic]

Wow, this is soooo awesome!!!

I hope it's true that would kick major a$$!!

And VH1 is having a contest for someone to go to the show. Wouldn't that be amazing, to see Stevie show everyone else up

I can't wait to see it!!

yes. that's the spirit!

don't get me wrong, of course it would be great if she joins the concert, but i'm being skeptical because i can't see how she may fit this ansamble,
vh1 are so dumb, the real definition for a 'diva' is a classic performer who's larger than life with some remarkable musical achievments,
while vh1's definition is simply a preformer with a big (technicaly speaking) voice, someone who could yell.
shakira is cool and probably is here to stay, but she's got a long way ahead of her before she may deserve this honorary title.
stevie is a diva, so is debbie harry, bjork, madonna and alison moyet and so on, anastacia isn't. (or at least NOT YET)
and they have this crappy concerts going on for years there, i'm afraid stevie is sooo not what they are looking for there....
i'd love stevie to come there and kick their asses, but observing this horror there a few years now, it looks too much to ask for.

All right, I wasn't going to post this in fear of being flamed, which probably will still happen, but I'm going to post it anyway. As much as I love the idea of Stevie being on the divas' show, Stevie in the looser sense does not really match what a diva is. I think she even admits it, that she is a songwriter first, and a singer second. The reason why all of you are confused about Stevie performing with Celine Dion and Cher is because Stevie DOES do her own thing. In a way, she IS a diva, but in the sense of what VH1 wants, she's not. She's not the type to stand up there and belt out all these high notes and hitting 15 notes on one word like Christina. Those girls' voices are all over the place. Stevie doesn't do that. She's much plainer in her singing, which is not a bad thing at all. Personally I find it annoying sometimes to hear 15 notes on one word. But Stevie does just have her own style, her own sense of things. She may be dubbed a diva, but if so, it's a SPECIAL kind of diva. She's not your typical diva like Mariah and Celine, and I think that's the best way to put it. It'll be interesting to see this, if it happens.

I do NOT want Stevie on the Diva Special - NOT her style!

[greatdarkwing]

Can anyone get a confirmation on this?!!!!!!!

The Stevie on Divas info came from the Liz Smith column (so take it with a grain of salt-- sorry I didn't clarify.)

THE DIVAS have landed Ellen DeGeneres, and she will host their "VH1 Divas Las Vegas" show airing live May 23. Ellen knows how to have fun, so this is a great choice! Stevie Nicks and the international star Anastacia have also joined the lineup. You already know that Cher, Mary J. Blige, the Dixie Chicks, Celine Dion and Shakira are set to sing.

[Rumours]

Mixed emotions about this!!!

Now I'm thrilled at the prospect of Stevie being on this show (I have been known to mutter "Those idiots at VH1 wouldn't know a real diva, queen of it all, if she slapped them right in the face--where's the good talent on these shows??!!!!" and "Why is Stevie never on one of these big specials--why don't they give her all the recognition she deserves!!!!!"), since TONS of people will be watching this show, as they do every year.......so, it's great for Stevie.....exposure.....showing everybody EXACTLY how it's done!!!!

But, I do agree that she doesn't exactly fit in with some of these other people........but then, neither did Elton John, considering he's, well, male..........and really, Dixie Chicks don't really fit into this category either.........

How about we petition VH1 to just call this show Interesting Music Night Live on VH1!!!!!!!! LOL

And the using Stevie to get to Sheryl thing--totally bogus.........Sheryl's not even on the schedule (as of yet!)........but I just did not like that comment......it was so wrong.......she deserves honors such as this......and can get them because of her own merit and because she's so awesome and wonderful.....I am really just at a loss at how to respond to this comment......

Anyway, this should prove to be interesting. Can't wait to see!!!

Stephanie

for this special and I didn't hear Stevie's name mentioned at all...I hope she wasn't included in the part of the ad where it said "...and featuring others..."...Brian
