Stevie Says Brit's Not a 'Real Rock Star'
Britney Spears has covered rock classics like Joan Jett's "I Love Rock N' Roll" and The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," but rock icon Stevie Nicks isn't convinced Brit is a real rocker. Nicks tells "Extra," "You have to pay dues to be a real rock star."
The 60-year-old legend says her rise to fame was extremely different from Spears'. The former Fleetwood Mac member says, "It's different in that Britney did not join a band when she was 18 and practice every day for five hours Monday through Friday and then play gigs Friday, Saturday and Sunday." Nicks' new CD/DVD "The Soundstage Sessions: Live in Chicago" is in stores now.




















Whoever the anonymous person who said Stevie doesn’t sell out arenas doesn’t know who Stevie Nicks is. Probably some 13 year old child. I have nothing against Britney, but come on. You think Britney’s rich…you have no idea how much Stevie has. Stevie writes beautiful music that connects with people’s souls. Britney “sings” studio written dance music. Stevie looks beautiful, and all young artists should aspire to be the entertainer Stevie is. I’ve seen both live, and trust me, Stevie kicks butt. If you like shallow popular music, listen to Britney. If you are a real music lover, listen to Stevie. She’s not called the Queen of Rock n Roll for nothing!! Kids, educate yourselves before you speak. Doing rock classics does not make you a rock star. Stevie actually cares about the songs she sings. Stevie loves rock n roll. Britney loves being a celebrity. There’s a HUGE difference! Pink is one of the only music stars at this time (mainstream anyway) that even comes near Stevie. I swear, it worries me about the state of music in the future.
