Memorial Day, 1983

I don't know when the US Festival was held in 1983, but in the U.S., May 3rd IS NOT Memorial Day. Memorial Day was the held on the 30th of May until a 1971 law about holidays changed it so that Memorial Day would be "observed" "the last Monday in May" in order to create a three day weekend (also President's Day, etc.). See http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html

In 1983 the last Monday happened to be May 30th. Ileanadu 18:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)ileanadu

Silent Night

This was not in the article, so... Did she do a Christmas song - "Silent Night"? I just heard it on the radio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.177.111.36 (talk) 18:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

She has a version of "Silent Night" on A Very Special Christmas (album) released in 1987. She also performed the song some years back at a televised benefit concert (maybe 1998 or so). - carolyn (user • talk) 03:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

go your own way

"Go Your Own Way" was written by Lindsey Buckingham. --96.247.101.238 (talk) 04:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

He's the one singing it, so, yeah, most likely. --Jerome Potts (talk) 22:24, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Needs List!!

I was shocked and amazed at the lack of NPOV, style, and even a semblance of a basic timeline here! Perhaps I'm being too optimistic, but this could easily be cleaned up and made an excellent article! What's up with this?! --leahtwosaints (talk) 00:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

The Idea of a Section on Future Plans Is Loco

The notion of having a section on "Future Plans" is a loco one - because this is supposed to be an encyclopedia of verifiable knowledge of things and events - and as such, "Future Plans" are completely irrelavent here, since the future is always in a state of change / unpredictability. Plans are always evanescent.
For example, Richard Nixon's plans for the rest of his second term as the President of the United States are irrelevant, and aren't documented here, since those plans never came to pass. They didn't have a chance, since Nixon resigned from the Presidency in 1974, well-before the end of his term.Dale101usa (talk) 18:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Section about work with other artists?

By this I mean backing vocals and duets. Generally, I wouldn't feel it necessary to include a section about this, but because Stevie has recorded with so many other musicians - John Stewart, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Sheryl Crow to name a few, surely it would be informative to include a section about this? Any thoughts? --Laceandpaperflowers (talk) 23:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Side Note: Excessive bias within the article

Whoever has wrote this article (particularly when discussing the later years of Stevie Nicks' career) has added so much personal opinion it becomes a little hard to read. This article could be extremely informative, as there is so much documented on Nicks' life and work, but instead it's filled with comments from Misplaced Pages such as "citation needed" and "original research?". For example, it may be obvious to a fan when listening to Nicks' work that her voice has gained a nasal quality, lost some range etc. but how is that relevant? It's clear if you listen to her songs. Surely someone could rewrite parts of this article, with the appropriate media reports etc., and create a very good article that informs the reader in an impartial style, and is not biased to the opinions of fans or critics? --Laceandpaperflowers (talk) 00:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Well i still haven't heard her later stuff, so no i didn't get to notice the change in her voice, so such stuff is informative to me. --Jerome Potts (talk) 22:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Vocal Range

Just as HER article does for Christine McVie, this article says Stevie's vocal range is "contralto." Unless contralto covers a great deal of ground, they can't both be contraltos. Chrissy's voice is very different and her range seems to be centered at a different point. 76.28.103.69 (talk) 22:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)Will in New Haven76.28.103.69 (talk) 22:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

There are a couple of citations linked from Stevie's article that back up the claim that her vocal range is contralto. If you can find a reliable source that says what Christine's vocal range is, you can add it to the Christine McVie article. For now, I have added a "citation needed" flag to the Christine McVie article.- carolyn (user • talk) 23:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

-- Contralto does not just regard range, but also tone of voice and texture. Both Christine and Stevie seem to be more comfortable singing lower notes, and both of their voices have a rich, deep tone associated with contraltos. However, Christine has a wider range than Stevie. 79.64.250.72 (talk) 07:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Yahoo! interview

Lucrezia Santini

Blackbird, Rhiannon, Midnight Special video performance mystical magical audience difficult to find, and well worth it. Haven't checked Buffy buster or bookstores, but had wondered about all the productions... Ms. Nicks seems like more of a Shaman to me, but languages and translations evolve, according to the voice of the people... peace.

A New Album and Other Projects: 2010  ????

This section is just a rambling sentence about various twitter updates. This is a great article, needs some work, but this section is just horrible !!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.104.172 (talk) 02:45, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
