Britney kiss angers Nicks

STEVIE Nicks rates the notorious Madonna-Britney kiss as the most obnoxious television moment ever.

"First of all, Madonna is too old to be kissing someone who is 22," the Fleetwood Mac singer told the Herald Sun.

"And Britney should be smarter than that. Hopefully, she will figure a way out of this hole she has dug for herself."

Original rock chick Nicks, 55, said Spears and Christina Aguilera should wear more clothes and try writing decent songs.

"I personally have never been to a strip club, but I turn on MTV and see in every single video what it must be like to be at a strip club," Nicks said.

"I think the mystery is gone, and if you have no mystery, then you aren't even sexy.

"Real sexuality and sensuality is in the music, and all these girls, vis-a-vis, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and on and on, should go back to writing songs and start over because it won't last and they won't last.

"When they are 55, they won't be around and that's sad because I think a lot of those girls are very talented. But they are signing their own death warrants."

Nicks was appalled by Madonna's publicity stunt kiss with Spears at the recent MTV Awards.

"I thought it was the most obnoxious moment in television history," she said.

"Madonna will be fine. Madonna is Madonna. She does what she wants. She will get over this. But will Britney get over it? I don't know."

Nicks revealed Madonna asked Jennifer Lopez to be in the smoochy routine, but J.Lo told Madge to kiss something else.

Nicks is the ultimate rock survivor, weathering drug addictions, depression and a tumultuous relationship with Lindsey Buckingham.

The most obnoxious moment in television history was when Al Gore showed up at the first Bush/Gore debate in 2000 wearing so much makeup that he looked like a transvestite.

An UGLY transvestite! (I have a very visual imagination -- please be careful w/your posts!) LOL!

Your not the only one bro.

If there ever were Sirens leading captain and crew to certain death upon the rocks, she'd be the lead singer.

That woman is one SEXY lady. And precisely because everything is a mystery about her. (plus she's good looking too. that always helps.)

The most obnoxious moment? Hello!

[KneelBeforeZod]

Fleetwood Mac members infered that they were amazed at the stupidity of the choice of that song. They wrote "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" about a break up.

Not to mention the July 4th etc celebrations that use "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen...

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

Ewww, you had to remind us. The sumo wrestling picture. Now I'll never get to sleep tonight.

Stevie Nicks is a little old, a little overweight, and a little liberal. But I still have the hots for her.

To this day, whenever I hear her name, I can't help but think of one of my favorite punk records from the late 70's

[WKB]

tumultuous relationship with Lindsey Buckingham.


I gues it would have been "Kind of a Drag"

[SerpentDove]

>>"Look everyone, I haven't had a decent single in what, 25 years? So my agent says I should say something shocking about the current bimbos. Hello? Is this thing on?"<<

If you think Stevie Nicks is not extremely popular right now, which is tribute to the staying power of her talent and songwriting ability, or that she "needs" the publicity, you have another thing coming.

Stevie Nicks will be remembered long after these talentless idiots are dead, buried, and forgotten.

I think she had some unflattering things to say about Clinton at the time, although she stopped short of saying she planned to vote Republican.

Huh? She performed at their inauguration:

BTW, notice the two sexual predators standing side by side.

[SerpentDove]

At the time, Nicks said of Clinton, "I think he lacks the maturity to be President."

And this was RIGHT AFTER he got in office.

Stupid, she ain't.

Madonna sucking out the life out of Britney -- Britney will regret that kiss. Madonna will go on reinventing herself.

[Hammerhead]

damn. even her penmanship is sexy.

I've had the hots for her for 30 years.


(Stevie, call me babe.)

[wayne_shrugged]

GROSS!!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

IMO (which is even less humble than yours on this topic, LOL): Madonna is not a talented singer, and Spears is only slightly more talented than she is. Christina Aguilera, however, really CAN sing. Many of her tunes suck, but she has chops, and she has serious command of her voice. Now if she would only do something about that hooker-chic thing she's got goin' on. : )

[eddie willers]

Bo Derek can swim in my pool anytime.

[SerpentDove]

I suspect that this doesn't bode well for Britney's career.

Not only that, I imagine it is not shocking to *anyone*.

Just cheap, transparent show-biz schlock.

Madonna is nothing but an aging bore.

Stevie Nicks will be remembered long after these talentless idiots are dead, buried, and forgotten.

Remembered by.... who?

I guess I have another thing coming...

[foreverfree]

When the bumping starts...

[eddie willers]

Am I the only one on the thread who thinks Christie McVie has a better (though less interesting) voice?

BTW....in "Googling" to double check my spelling of Christie, I found this pix of Stevie at a July 2003 concert.

Looks like she really did lose quite a bit weight.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Notice how Bill won't bend down for a smooch in the pic? Smart guy as Hill must have tuna fish breath.
