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.

Respectfully, Christie McVie (IMO) sings in a Ringo Starr-like monotone.

I've always thought her songs were the weakest of the three writers. I didn't miss her much at all on either the new album or on tour.

This picture makes me sick. I want to puke my lunch! People love this and hate bush, I can't figure it out!

uh, not exactly, fleetwood mac was a british blues band prior to nicks or christie mcvie coming on board. Mcvie a good bit earlier than nicks.

Leather and Lace. Rhiannon. Dreams. Silver Spring (?), etc. She has always given us mystery, romance and beauty in her music. A beautiful voice, a beautiful soul and a beautiful face. Her songs will be heard throughout this century, I think, unlike the younger singers'.

That picture is the only one I've seen and it's pretty tame compared to the Madonna acts. In at least the few music videos I've seen with Nicks --- she was able to keep all her clothes and and has never had to resort to the things Madonna must. I saw one video with Madonna masturbating herself and writhing all over the floor mostly naked --- when you have to resort to that, you don't have talent. Without the vulgarity, Madonna would be a complete unknown --- Nicks would still be famous without that one picture with Buckingham.

"Stevie Nicks is a little old, a little overweight, and a little liberal. But I still have the hots for her...Maybe more so, after reading this bit of common sense. "

Just imagine the arousal factor should Nicks ever give a reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address or Reagan's "Tear Down This Well" speech...;-)
