How in the hell did that cranberry juice thing become a meme? So annoying.

I've been a fan of FM and Stevie Nicks for over 45 years and I've seen then in concert a number of times. If you close your eyes while playing the song you'd swear it was Stevie singing.

Very good. Her voice seems well suited to Stevie songs.
For several other great FM covers check out “Rumors of Fleetwood Mac.” I’m guessing they may be officially sanctioned, due to their name. Their covers are excellent.
Pretty good. Sounds very nice. But, for me, her intonations and interpretations don’t instill the emotions that the original nick’s version triggers.

Though I will admit that I don't hear as well as I did back in the day, (too many years of cranking the guitar amps ) she has great career potential and I'm sure will go far.
With that said, it's hard to compare her with Stevie and Fleetwood, they had amazing energy and onstage presence. Of course being an ole timer, I've definitely a bias from those golden days

As well as Lanie sings it, she mostly just amplifies how well Stevie sings it. I heard Lanie and just thought "there's a song that doesn't need a cover"
I've listened to Lanie a couple of times and compared it to the Fleetwood Mac version, and part of the difference is it seems like vocals are a little more vivid in Lanie's version. Maybe since it's kareoke of course the vocals are the most important part and the volume is raised. Lanie has a smidge of country twang that is a nice addition. She's really good and sings well with little effort. Whatever microphone and electronic manipulation is really working for her.This message has been edited. Last edited by: pbslinger,

I think she's very talented and has an appealing voice and style, but I hear too many influences. I don't think her voice is completely her own yet. It's very hard to sing in what is truly your own voice when you are doing a cover of someone you really like and admire. A little more time and development, and original material, and she should shine.
