If she had been an Opera Star, they wouldn’t have said a flippin’ thing!
Love, Love, LOVE Ann and Nancy, since my teen years. Those girls were all that AND a bag of chips! :)
“And Adele before she lost all her weight.”
And, IMHO, there’s not a thing sexy about her, anymore.
And...where are her killer albums these days? Wonder if the drastic weight loss effected her voice.
What a shame that we’re not ‘allowed’ to just go with our strengths and talents anymore.
Just do your thang. Yeesh!
No doubt. Though he seems like a serious dude, the Erasure video/cover of Abba's Take a Chance on Me is a hoot.
Or just don’t laugh and say go (bleep yourself) and May you die tomorrow. Tends to shut them up if you say it in real life.
Interesting comments by Plant. Heart did a fine job with StH. It was just different. Kinda not like Disturbed with Sound of Silence - they reengineered the song, gave it a whole new “feel”.
“you had to look like a model, you had to be able to sing and dance and act, and look just fantastic all the time from every angle.”
Ann, you would never have been mistaken for a model.
You looked FAT from EVERY angle.
GREAT voice, but it is of course a visual thing as well as a hearing thing.
You got OUT OF CONTROL with your appearance and it IS something YOU can control.
So STOP whining! I’ll stick with Heart audio and skip the videos.
Is it P’sOS or POS’s?
WHatever, you’re right. They rock solid.
Agreed. Cantrell and Chains were probably the most real of the grunge. They grew up in blue collar Burien WA, my best friend up n Seattle went to high school with them. He said they were every bit of their music in real life. Would probably tell Page and plant to sod off before kicking their limey arses and taking their smack.
Best grunge vocalist, the late great Chris Cornell, had way more soul and tension in his voice than Page. Come on man, The Honey drippers? Really? Loved his work with Audioslave as well.
Liked Pearl Jam too, but I think they are the Charles Emerson Winchester III of grunge....so ostentatious and better than us mere mortals. Maybe like the Led Zep of grunge.
Happily, I got it right. Per this article, the plural of an abbreviation is achieved by tacking on a "s". For example, in baseball a run batted in is RBI. For multiple runs batted in, the plural is RBIs.
Oh, and thanks for the concurrence on Ann and Heart.
Only on FR can you get a grammar lesson AND a fat shaming article all at once.
Well sorry Ann. You got fat.
Fatty fatty two by four, can't get her buttocks through the doot.
My good FRiend...you MUST put that on a tshirt sell it on Etsy.
After 30 years, you crystallized my sentiments perfectly (though Dave Abruzzese is da bomb).

Above is Heart, Rush and others (including rappers!) doing the “super jam” of Crossroads at their HOF induction.
Oh. Oh. Bob, whoever you are, yes. I’ve never seen this interview or these words from Plant. But oh! and wow!
“Now, he co-wrote the song so who am I to criticize his feelings? But basically the guy felt Heart was all part of a conflagration of HIS song, of HIS history.
Well, then, why the F did you do it? You have NEVER been honored by the govt of the U.K. America facilitated your acquisition of several fortunes. I think Heart and Ann did more justice to your song than Zeppelin did after 1977, and you are all in floods because of a situation TO WHICH YOU AGREED?”
I’m going to take the late night, easy way way out, and blame drugs. :)
During this performance of Heart I observed Plant, and he died tear up, and I have thought since then he was mad that Ann did such an amazing job of renditioning Stairway To Heaven which makes the #1 Rock Song ever, year after year.
But, who cares? :D The performance was magic, hands down, and I love it.
Now, have you seen or heard “Killing The Blues” by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss in duo? OMG.

IOW, for letting herself go and becoming a porker.
You chose this lady, live with the outcome.
Just like Rosie o'Donuuts, the spoon did not make you fat.
Well, yeah, it did not hurt fat Mama Cass.
So what if you would not want to hit it, it was her voice that mattered, and she did not obsess over her obesity, AFAIK.
When government completely takes over healthcare they start imposing restrictions on receiving healthcare such that you have to be in certain weight ranges to be eligible for surgeries.
I dunno... I’d have agreed with your point as recently as 6 months ago. But with COVID it seems that if you are obese, or have life-style co-morbitities, you actually go to the FRONT of the treatment line. Try getting a vaccination right now if your just under 65 and healthy.
I immediately thought of the Martha Wash / Zelma Davis controversy. Isn’t it interesting that the whole music industry got all righteous about that while at the same time fat-shaming Ann Wilson?
