That first line sounds normal. The chorus singing sounds artificial. When I listen to this song, I don't feel like I'm listening to Stevie. I know she's on it but it doesn't feel like an Elton and Stevie Nicks song. It's kind of like Money For Nothing as in Stevie would be Sting in Stolen Car.

When she sings alone, the deeper voice, I know it’s her, but you’re right I don’t recognise the duetting voice at all.
I don’t think for one minute she can sing so high….
unless she has a helium balloon, alongside her.

Thank you for sharing, sue! It's like she's trapped in a small glass room somewhere shouting.

Is it accurate to call this Stolen Car by Elton John and Stevie Nicks or is it Elton John featuring Stevie Nicks?

Stevie tweeted about Stolen Car. No tweet on Queen of Rock Tina Turner's solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Carole King's.

Cher, Lizzo, and more celebrities have commented. She did say she hoped her induction opened the door for more women.

Let me preface all of this by saying I am a fan of Stevie's. While I couldn't bring myself to see the last FM tour, I did see Stevie's last solo tour 4 times. It's sad to say, but Tina Turner (who should have gotten in there for the 2nd time before Stevie) and Carole King (SAME) are of no use to Stevie. They can't help keep her relevant. If Taylor Swift (likely someday) or Haim (likely never) were getting inducted, she'd be all over our IG feeds. Honestly, a little surprised we didn't even hear her give the Foo Fighters a shout out. She's at a point in her career where if you can't help her stay relevant, she wants no part of you.....yet Carole King and TT have never not been relevant. And Stevie has actually always been relevant, she just can't get out of her own way. Or her handlers are as stupid as they appear.

It's sad that Stevie can't applaud and celebrate a black woman who is actually enormously more popular globally and should've been inducted twice in the HOF before Ms. Nicks. But she can post about her dog or how difficult it was for her to stay in the Waldorf on 9/11.

This Elton John duet is a little sh|tty — I mean, it isn’t going to make anybody forget “Levon.” The nice thing for Stevie is that the other songs on this album aren’t much better. Even the Dave Grohl duet is a “Listen to it once and then move on with your life” song.
