Lori Nicks in Vegas

[GardenStateGirlie]

All I know is that if she does Beauty and the Beast, she has got to have a small orchestra...how amazing would that be? After all, this is Vegas...why not go all out?

I can see it now...Stevie will start into Nightbird and Lori will walk onstage I'm wondering if they'll do Leather and Lace (sans Don, thanks) as they did on In Concert. It's one of my favorite performances of that song.

You mean Lori will walk on stage I assume?

Anyway, ITA. I want to see Nightbird and B&tB done for sure. L&L with the girls IS the best, but I only want her to do it if it replaces a frequently done tune. I mean, go ahead & put it in instead of SDMHA, but don't choose it over Sable on Blond or something else we've never (or rarely) heard.

She never came off as a warm person in the interview clips I saw, and I found her stage presence overbearing, just like her vocals. Especially on the Wild Heart Tour.
I think alot of Stevie's other back up singers were way more talented- Marilyn Martin being one.
Sorry, I just dont get the fuss.

I think Lori's voice was always a nice counterpoint to Stevie's. It added a ton of texture to the mix. Lori's voice is my favorite part of the song "TISL". On top of that, I have always thought she was incredibly beautiful - especially on the Wild Heart tour. To boot, she is a kind, warm, genuine person. Anyone who has met her can attest to that. I think she is the bomb.
