Really? Where did you hear this and what are the details? Please share.

Though we may trade in the commodity of gossip, our real passion is music. And, it's no big secret that one of our idols is Miss Stevie Nicks. We nearly creamed our pants when Lindz told us that she did a cover of Nicks' Edge Of Seventeen for her new album. Not only did Lindsay record the cover with a full orchestra, but she also had Stevie herself sing on the track. Fierceness!!!

Stevie sings on the track

? That lucky little bitch lol.

edit: Lindsay, not Stevie above.

Hey! Don't knock the Lohan, gang. If I can get Josh to enjoy the new and improved and angsty Lohan, then I just might get you to

Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter To Father)

Wow I thought Jane sunk to a new low when she did The Surreal Life. Holy Crap, this Go-Go just topped herself-LOL

Um, I think that all the kids will think that Lindsay L is covering Destiny's Child, when they hear the opening riff...

That said, hopefully Stevie will appear in this video as well (if there is one), maybe even showing Lindsay some of her fly dance moves! That would rock.

I'm sure there are many Disney robots but I don't really think she's one of them. I get the impression that she's kind of in a class of her own.

I don't find her harmless (haven't in awhile, really), especially if she's going to do that song. That cannot be anyone else's song. It's an insult to the writer for someone to try to make it hers. It would be like if she did Lennon's "God." I would bang my head against the wall if I heard someone like Hohan wailing "I don't believe in Beatles!" There are some things you don't touch. It just really pisses me off; I have a whole list of things that I overreact to, so it's just a personality flaw.

I totally agree. Edge is way too personal and shouldn't be covered by anyone, imo.

I don't really like covers unless the artist can reinterpret the song, like Dolly Parton does so well.

i was worried for the FM fandom when I first saw she had a single called 'Rumors' Not only is her NAME Lindsay..........she was in Freaky Friday with Stevie wannabe (in the movie) Jaime Lee Curtis

NOW

she's done a cover of EDGE?

next thing you know, she'll be wearing chiffon and checked in to Betty Ford for a chemical dependency

I TOTALLY expect this!

Hopefully, Stevie IS involved, and placing lil' Lindsay under her white wing!

No one can truly rip off Stevie - her look, her mystique, her WORDS...most of these songs are TRL 'songs of the week,' that aren't memorable after they serve their "purpose" (hehe). I don't think that anyone can take Stevie's songs as their own, however they can breath new life into them (or screw them to no end, lol).

And what "harm" does that do?

Oh please. People write a lot of ridiculous crap on this board, but this goes up there at the top.

Stevie apparently doesn't view this as an insult, considering she helped with the recording of the track. Actually, I think covering someone else's material is generally considered a sign of respect.

Is Lohan's cover going to be any good? Probably not. But all this goddess worship crap, "Nobody has any right to ever cover her songs because nobody else could ever be so ineffably wondrously mystically miraculously radiantly brilliant as Steeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" is completely idiotic.

What if Dolly Parton covered "Edge"?

Why you'd have the Edge riff done with a banjo. Could yield interesting results.

Although I don't have the faintest idea who Lindsay Lohan is, I think it's great she decided to cover the song. Let's hope she can do it justice.

She likely can't, but I'm interested to hear it anyway. Lindsay Lohan is a Disney creation: "cute" (but increasingly "sexy," as she gets older) freckled redhead who stars in largely family-friendly films (mostly remakes of The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday and Herbie the Love Bug and such), and naturally Disney has also secured a recording contract for her, because fifteen year old girls just eat that **** up, when their favorite Disney starlets not only act but also attempt to sing (see also, Hillary Duff and Raven Symone).

Nope, as I said, I don't think Edge should be covered. Not because of goddess worship, or whatever you've written above, but because the song is so intensely personal. I don't know why Stevie would want someone else to sing it.

I like Lindsey Lohan, though, she was great in Mean Girls.
