Stevie Nicks new single “Show Them The Way”

Love it, too. Quite long but worth every minute.

Her voice is shot. She sounds like my grandmother on the phone.

The video made me cry. Our country is a fucking mess. Vote, y’all.

Her voice sounds pretty decent still. I like the subject matter, of course, but the lyrics are kind of... cringey. It reads like something out of a 7th grade creative writing class.

Every Karen, Tara, Pam, and Sue is creaming their panties on Facebook over this song.

See what happens when I'm not around to polish these turds?

Wait, you bitches "LOVE" this?!?! I mean, I love her and all, but, this is painfully bad. Like, REALLY bad. Boardering on embarrassing. For example...

[quote] I had a fragile dream in a great house in the Hamptons; I'd been there before singing songs and doing benefits; Was in a room alone putting on my makeup; so many things come to me, the dress came to me across the Persian carpet. I fell into the dress ... I have a dream and a door opened, I turned to the door, I was ready for the Kennedys..

WTF?! Is she drunk?!

Thanks frau. Now back to iVillage with you. Or wherever you fraus hang out these days. Shoo now. SHOO!!!!

"A shadow walked with me down the hall: It was Martin Luther King"

C'mon, this is terrible writing.

R6 he had nothing to do with her MANY hits. Something he couldn’t create without her.

R9 Most artists would get eviscerated for this lyric. Nicks is in that realm of Paul McCartney or Dylan now where she doesn't get called out for it because she an ~*icon*~.

[quote] Her voice sounds pretty decent still. I like the subject matter, of course, but the lyrics are kind of... cringey. It reads like something out of a 7th grade creative writing class.

Her lyrics were always basically on that level. Maybe 10th grade and not 7th, I guess.

But yeah, this is even worse.

Coccaine has ruined her nose. She now sound like she just recover from a cold.

Except, R11, she was NEVER on their level. She’s iconic, sure, but she has never been considered a great lyricist *or* melodicist except by dippy ding-dongs or people who know nothing about music.

R10 Her solo material is not good and a lot of her hits were written for her or cowritten. Dopey Fraus seem to worship at her feet.

I’m sure Lindsey is grateful he wasn’t called up to put lipstick on this particularly awful pig. It’s atrocious.

R15 doesn’t matter. They’re HER hits. Her name is the one who sold albums and singles. His flopped.

R17, you’re not exactly making the case for her solo stuff that you think you are.

R17 She had hit songs because the American public is particularly tasteless and stupid. Stevie has outsold Joni Mitchell in droves but she'll never have that integrity.

She's got her name on "Stop Draggin' my Heart Around" almost certainly because of fellatio.

Integrity means shit in the music business. It’s about HITS. Stevie has that.

Lindsey did wonders for her on “Illume” - her equally embarrassing and narcissistic take on 9/11. He made it sound brooding and interesting. With this song she falls flat on her face.

She’s a woman in her 70s. If she were that worried about it she would have called big shots. She isn’t trying to make a hit, she put out a song that means something to her during these times.

R21 is a tasteless drone, the sort of person who will slog their fat butt to the cinema to eat chemically altered butter flavored popcorn to see The Avengers part 14.

Vanilla Ice had hits too.

[quote] Integrity means shit in the music business. It’s about HITS. Stevie has that.

Garbage philosophy. Yuck, I’d hate to see what your “record collection” looks like, if you even have one. Do you actually like music?

She's overwritten the lyrics. Too many ideas going on. It feels like she's just singing a stream of consciousness improv.

She's over-seasoned the stew, folks.

(Plus it's too long)

[R27] You’re giving her too much credit. This doesn’t sound like the product of an artist with too many “ideas” - it’s a bunch of cliches strung together incoherently - like someone who who wants to say profound things but lacks the insight and moral capacity to do so.

[R28] Who also lacks linguistic and melodic abilities.

Stevie sounds like the valedictorian of Retard University.

I don't think it's any more embarrassing than that Bob Dylan song this year that ironically namedropped her and Lindsey (and every other fucking celebrity in the '60s-'70s), "Murder Most Foul". That shit made me laugh out loud.

Dave Grohl is on this track, more proof that he will do absolutely anything to stay relevant. Courtney Love has more artistic credibility than Dave Grohl. Stevie needs an editor, but she's past the point of taking constructive criticism. Any criticism of her ditzy doo lyrics is abusive to her.

R31. Indeed that song was embarrassing. Dylan has been coasting for 40 years now.

I love Stevie in the context of Fleetwood Mac. Sara and Storms are two of my favorite songs ever, but comparing her solo songs to her FM material is like comparing ground beef to prime rib.

Her solo songs were fun. She was a POP STAR.

Who is this poster who somehow "knows" that female singer/songwriters never actually never write the songs with their names on it as the writer? Do you also question male singers or do you just assume all male singers can write songs because they have a magical cock? Fuck off with your misogyny, you fool.

I love her, but that was dreadful. I'm sure in her old age she is probably even more soft hearted than ever, and had some great thoughts that inspired this. But, it's a mess.

The song is top 10 in the itunes chart so people are paying for it.

R36 it is common knowledge that Tom Petty wrote SDMHA and Prince got credit for Stand Back. Sorry, but she's no Kate Bush. As another poster said she was more of a pop star, not a singer/songwriter.

Stevie is getting ton civil rights now.

Stevie is getting ton civil rights now.

This song is fucking terrible. You all would eat the cocaine out of her ample behind if she asked you to!

The lyrics are horrible, she somehow makes it all about her!

Ms. Sharon Celani is probably nodding her head in shame!

I love her so much!!!

R42 It's almost like she needs an editor, but had her best editor fired.

[R44] Except that there’s nothing for an editor to do with this song but tell her to throw it into the trash. It has no redeeming qualities - not a single memorable phrase or melodic line. It’s total crap.

I love Stevie, but even Dolores O'Riordan's ghost would call this song shallow and preachy.

It is weird that she hasn’t mention the viral video maybe it will help her promote her new single which fell to #28 in the itunes chart while Dreams is still #1 on itunes and reenter the Billboard charts.

Finally she respond to the viral video wih her own.

This song is fucking atrocious.

The "Martin Luther Kingggg" at the 4:50 mark is hilarious.

Why do Miley and Taylor get dragged but everyone sniffs Stevie's butt for more of her fart music? Are older women beyond reproach?

She’s a legend. They aren’t.

Well she's a legend who is a DELUSIONAL CUNT , who can no longer sing, and her new song has neither a melody or any value. It's the work of a desperate egomaniac of a woman trying to remain relevant by using Martin Luther King and the Kennedys. It's pathetic. I don't buy it.

She didn’t release her new song to chart. She released it because it’s relevant to what is happening.

Oh ok because i dont see it in the itunes chart anymore.

R52 So a white woman can evoke MLK, reducing him to a side character in her egomaniacal tale about the Kennedys and get away with it because she's a legend. Got it.

[R56].it’s a shit song and there’s no need to bring identity politics into it. You don’t “own” the character of MLK because you’re black anymore than Stevie Nicks does.

This “song” is more embarrassing than her crush on Harry Styles.

Stevie is a legend. She is the superstar of Fleetwood Mac. Not Lindsey or Christine. She is the only female inducted into the Rock nRoll Hall of fame twice......The listeners connect to Stevie's music because of her lyrics. This is not one of her better songs but her point is well taken. I have always loved her music .....it has been the soundtrack to most of my life.....

[R59] “Did you get all that, Karen? She is the superstar of Fleetwood Mac! Lindsey will love that!!”

Stevie is such an egomaniac. "Everyone was jealous of my album". She needs people to kiss her ass 24/7 or she'll die. I can imagine Christine hearing Edge of 17 and thinking "this blows". Her solo albums were not good. Her last one was inspired by the Twilight films. She's an idiot and her rabid fans who think her poetry is deeper than diary entries of a 12 old girl are smoking some serious crack.

R61 you sound like one of those people who is 62 yrs old, but "everyone always thinks I'm in my 30s." Calm down, granny.

R59 The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. Both Ringo and George Harrison have been inducted for their mediocre solo work. George had one good song and it was a rip off.

R62 Please, I'm not the Frau here, you are.

Stevie’s solo albums CHARTED. The rest of them Can’t say the same.

R64 What a wicked, witty comeback!

R65 Dan Brown is one of the best selling writers of all time. Sales don't mean shite.

It does matter though. Poor Lindsay, couldn’t sell more than 300k albums 😂😂😂

Meanwhile Stevie’s debut sold... 7 million.

People who care about money and sales are everything wrong with popular culture. No man can handle Stevie because Stevie demands pianos to be delivered to her hotel room by crane. She's a diva.

R68 63 million Americans voted for Trump. The masses cannot be trusted.

[R68] Drag Race mentality. Does not understand art or artists. Drag queens use femininity to mask their voracious desire for dominance. Sound familiar? Stevie doesn’t give a shit about you.

[R68] The masses? Senile old fag.

I do feel sorry for her, she is all alone surrounded by her entourage of yes men and the person who knew her since she was 17 and actually stood up and said “no” she fired.

R73 get over it.

R74 lay off the booze Cyndee
