Its Official: Lindsay Lohan Has Covered "Edge Of Seventeen" For New Album

[Serrart]

I think every song could be covered, why not? Sometimes if a cover is good can also offer a new perspective. Now, giving Lohan's not too impressing actress skills, I doubt that would be the case, but if Stevie helped maybe it could hold some surprises, who knows.

I can just picture her counting and cataloging all of them, too.

Karen: "Stevie, you should get a computer so that you can type up a list of them all."

Stevie: "It'll rob me of my social skills!"

I will admit, though, that many of those comments would naturally be concentrated in the Stevie forum, so there is some competition after all.

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that specifically at you. if you like to overreact to Lohan covering "Edge of Seventeen," I like to overreact to the hypocrisy of Stevie fans getting all upset and calling her a "talentless whore" and such. Then go and get upset because some critic says Stevie sounds like a goat. Glass houses, and that whole thing.

Well, I don't know. I have no qualms about bashing Hohan excessively, but then I show restraint with Stevie even when I disapprove of something because I really respect her/her talent. Aren't we all hypocrites in that area? We diss people we dislike, and when critics diss people we like, we're either offended or annoyed. Yeah, there are some crazy Stevie fans out there (some and not all--I must distinguish), but I think those reactions are not unique to Stevie fans at all.

Or, to simplify, I really think Hohan doesn't have musical talent and she does look like a whore, so isn't it just honesty? I honestly don't believe Stevie sounds like a goat.

I can't imagine it's just a money thing, because if she completely didn't care who used her songs how, she'd sell them all to commercials and such. She seems to just enjoy participating in stuff like this with other artists, whether they're crappy or not. (Despite her claims of owning 300,000 CDs, I think Stevie might be slightly out of touch with the top 40 music scene.)

Good point. I think maybe it's a combination of wanting more money and thinking it's nice and flattering and such for a song to be covered regardless of who covers it. This is all my speculation, of course. I can't get over how if I were a famous rock star I would not want her covering any of my songs, but that's me and that's irrelevant, I know.

Maybe that's why she doesn't have time to record a new album.

It doesn't surprise me that there are so many haters in here dissing Lindsay Lohan because she is covering "Edge of Seventeen." People get so worked up over nothing. I don't know too much about Lindsay, but from the few times I've seen her on TV, she actually seems genuine and pretty cool. I'm also aware that she's had a turbulent relationship with her Father and she sings about it on her new single "Confessions Of A Broken Heart." I saw the video and I must say I was pretty impressed. This is not the stuff Britney and Hillary Duff are doing. I think there is more depth to Lindsay than we realize. The fact that she is even covering a Stevie song is positive thing. Give the girl a chance to grow people. I don't think she is even 20 yet is she? I think at least she is heading in the right direction.

And of all things, the movie she stars in "Mean Girls" came on Showtime tonight. I watched the first hour and I must say it was pretty funny. It received 3 stars out of 4. Lindsay is pretty cool. Stop spreading negative vibes.

Can't we just dislike someone? I've got plenty of reasons. Mean Girls was the last good thing she did, IMO. I've been watching her since she was a kid and she has become increasingly annoying. I'm having a hard time understanding why it's necessary for me to have your opinion and not my own.

I suppose, I guess I just never really understand the venom directed at these types of performers because to me they just seem so harmless and obviously bad, it's just not necessary. They're too easy a target, and it's not like anyone other than a few teenage girls takes them remotely seriously, and they're just kids anyway. There have always been, and probably will always be, silly pre-fab performers like this, so I just let them be and let their fifteen minutes run its course and save my smartass comments for crappy bands that some misguided people actually think are good.

I guess people just like what they like. Not much you can do about it. Personally I think she's OK. I don't care what anyone covers either. If I don't like it when it comes out, I don't have to listen to it. I think it's funny too because when Stevie started out (and to this day) she still gets her fair share of negative reviews and opinions. I have a ton of friends who think she's an awful singer, but it's just a matter of taste in things. I have enough things to worry about in my personal life than to stress over stuff like that.

She needs to lay off the covers .

That's ridiculous. Sorry, but Linda Ronstadt comes to mind...she's covered MANY "intensely personal" songwriters' material and done a DAMN fine job of it. For instance, her interpretations of Neil Young's songs are absolutely breathtaking.

I have to agree. I thought her cover of Stairway to Heaven was different and great and Plant obviously approved because he consulted on it. So, I often wonder what she would do with La Nicks' stuff, esp. considering in La Nicks' youth, she had a voice very similar to Dolly's voice.
