Willie Nelson and Stevie have covered Dave Matthews songs. I think you guys underestimate Dave's song writing ability. I'm the biggest DMB fan, but ironically enough I don't like this song at all.
I find her vocal delivery to be very bland and lackluster. The bands performance was a great take on the song...but Stevie could have had a little more soul on the vocal.
"Sweechoo rock and sweechoo roll" Love Stevie! Cute how she never learned to separate certain consonants. She does it in Blue Denin as well: "I'll come to gechoo!" I was taught this in 9th grade choir. LOL
@jg8247 That's pretty cold man. You may not know this, but Cher and Stevie are professional singers and have loyal fan bases. Yeah that's right, they do this for a living.
I don't thing there isn't anything you can't sing. you are a gifted angel that was sent from up above and the sky is the limit for you . god bless you stevie!!!
Every once in awhile the woman I love sings a song to me and I totally understand it. I am proud of you Stevie Nicks thanks! I love you always! Your friend always DJ DEB STL MO #1 DJ USA.
really poor version...she kind of spoke it, not sang it...and the guitar on the cover and pitch of her voice really takes so much away from the original song
@jxrican lol spoke it?!?!? are you serious??? here is speaking rather than singing.... check out this video "William Shatner Rocket Man) that is my response to you....that is the difference between singing and speaking a song... take care :)
@jxrican I understand that...I wanted you to hear William Shatner's version of Rocket Man...that way you can hear when someone is talking a song rather than singing one as per your previous comment. Maybe had you read the comment I left you prior to this one you would have had no reason to say it was irrelevant :p Good day!
There are only a few exceptions where a cover is better then the original. The rest fall into a catagory of either close or way off target. This one is sadly way off target. The talk of her being around longer then Dave is in no way a valid argument to her case. In my opinion, she did no credit to that amazing song.
@veefourteen well dave matthews himself liked it I think his opinion is most important and valid :) and if you didn't know that look it up because I did to see why everyone was arguing about it. No one ever said she did it better people just said that DM should have been honored to have had her cover it and he was. No reason to argue with anyone about it have a GREAT day!
I only have one thing to say Stevie Nicks has been around in the business WAYYYY longer than DMB and Dave Matthews should have been nothing but honored that such a legend would have covered his song. No one can do a song better than the original (at least not normally) but her version is great for how she did it :)
@ephemeronchimera Lots of people have been around the business a long time....including Dave Matthews, who has 12, yes TWELVE platinum albums, in about half the time. Yes Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac have a lot too, but they're pretty much on equal footing. Ask any 15-35 year old person if they know DMB, then Stevie Nicks....Dave Matthews would win by far
@eatpineapples1 First off my comment was in response to comments saying her version was horrible...when DM himself said he enjoyed it..I also never made a claim saying I didn't like DMB...I actually do like DMB very much..however your claim about more people knowing of DMB than Stevie Nicks in the 15-20 age group maybe older people of 25-30+ would certainly know about who Stevie is more than DMB..always someone to misconstrue a simple comment into this ridiculous BS.
@eatpineapples1 It's no problem I just don't want people coming at me for something I never claimed...as I said I like DMB and I like Stevie Nicks...have a good one.
Its called botox, a fashion stylist, and a good hair and makeup artist. Only if everyone at 60 had that, they would look phenominal too. Not to discredit how good she looks. She is beautiful and always will be.
@89holbol I can think of at least a thousand people. It's just wrong on many musical levels.....whiny voice, like someone's old grandma trying to sing it.
I looooooove this cover!!!
