Before i was crying out of happiness that stevie would be on mainstream tv, but now im crying at how badly taylor rendered "Rhiannon". I wanted the whole piano mood and " once in a million years a lady like her rises" but nooooo they had to do the studio version!!!!!! Ugh i'm so angry i could spit! And tomorrow at school i'll have to hear about this. "ewww you like that old woman?! Taylor was soo much better!" ughhh

I don't know if you'll hear that too much actually. Just browsing through twitter, most people feel as though Stevie powned.

I'm actually realizing that the aftermath of this performance will be good for Stevie, because people are starting to realize what real talent sounds like. Stevie will leave this situation unscathed, but this may seriously hurt Taylor Swift in being considered a legitimate live performer.

I completely agree. People are seriously taking issue with her singing back up for Taylor too.

FMlex · #**337** 01-31-2010, 10:59 PM

Yeah, pretty much everything I've seen/read so far is how Taylor Swift was off-key and whatnot.

I would think it'd be kind of hard to pleasantly harmonize with Stevie though. Her voice is just so unique and only Lindsey can really accompany it well. (Bias? What? Ha.)

From a tumblr.com post:
"Hey Taylor Swift, next time you choose who you want to sing with, maybe pick someone who is as flat as you are so it sounds kind of in tune. Kthanksbye
ps, Stevie Nicks doesn’t give a **** about what the boys in high school think about you. She’s probably thinking the same thing."
hahhaha

Man, I've never seen so much sympathy for Stevie on "ordinary" entertainment sites, as opposed to just the fan sites. For every comment that's critical of Stevie, I see at least 10 that bash Swift. And the criticisms of Stevie aren't anywhere near as harsh as the ones directed at Taylor. Hell, I haven't even see a single "LOL South Park" comment yet.

Something funny is happening here.

I completely agree.

Just like the "Kanye West situation" at the VMAs, the "Stevie Nicks situation" at the Grammys is all anyone will be talking about tomorrow! Stevie is going to get very good (and free) press out of this, and that's never a bad thing!

No, they will be telling you how bad Taylor's singing was and won't believe you when you tell them Stevie is 61.
