Fleetwood Mac - Dreams | Opera Singer Reacts

[@ericsaari2901]

You should look up Stevie singing Rhiannon in 1976 on The Midnight Special. That is an unbelievable performance. The entire Rumors album is amazing.

[@smarshall012]

That was my first thought when Maggie said "she's so chill" 🤣🤣

[@mlbp4384]

Yesss!! My favorite performance

[@tinaprice848]

Yes I even named my daughter Rhiannon from this song

The live version from the midnight special

[@nb1inheaven788]

Steevie Nicks was the best part of Fleetwoodb Mac and coolest thing to do for her was leaving FM, he was such an A ..............e, specially with her !!! Well said Freddy ! And hey Maggie Reneé, you should try the best voice I have heard, Dolores O'Riordan she was the leader of The Cranberries, the song "Promises" official music video (you'll smile a little, but she is very serious, a strong song !!! (Irish poeple, the best singers ... sorry I forgot Layne Staley "Alice in chains" from Seatle, both are dead, RIP).

”She’s so chill” She’s so high

These guys are unmatched in their harmonies. Especially between Stevie and Christine.

[@chazfu]

I think what makes Stevie Nicks sound unique, is that her voice always has a note of heartbreak to it. I think that is why she sings songs of love/loss so well.

[@cynthiamiller483]

Her voice is so distinctive that you could always recognize it right a way. Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorites. You should listen to more of them! Thanks for your reaction. You looked a little like you were in heaven!

[@MooreCEJr]

Backing vocal Christine McVie (keyboard)... one of the underrated members of Fleetwood Mac along with accomplished bass player, and husband John McVie. C.McVie actually has a few songs on FM albums where she sings lead.

[@klimtklavier]

The other backing vocalist was Lindsey Buckingham...

Lanie Gardner does a nice cover to this song; in her video she is just chilling on a bed as she sings.

[@george93308]

It's kinda surreal to have listened for 45 years to one of the greatest bands of my generation with the iconic vocals of Stevie Nicks and then people today know her from a TikTok video. Stevie Nicks was the queen nymph of pop rock. Just as Floor Jansen is the Valkyrie of symphonic metal.

[@jimhaggard7436]

Like Dolly Parton, Stevie has an unusual vibrato bordering on tremolo. Her tone is slightly nasal here, but not as much as it would be later. She uses her chest voice rather than her diaphragm. In other words, she seems to break every rule of proper, safe singing to have one of the most unique, iconic voices in all of popular music. Her voice is like a wild animal’s: wild and free, but with perfect pitch (nearly) and the ability to harmonize instinctively with practically any duet partner.

[@westtxmutt]

Dreams is a timeless masterpiece

[@Pathfinder197]

And FM’s only #1 hit, which is kind of amazing considering their deep catalog and how iconic this entire album was. If I recall right, Stevie wrote in like an hour.

[@chuckmccaslandsr.8859]

Her voice is very relaxed and pleasant, and not loud and harsh.

[@dillonsronce2583]

The performance of the song Silver springs is great to watch live.

[@firedoc5]

With or without Fleetwood Mac, Stevie is just amazing. Many can describe her voice better than I can, it's just awesome! Her stage presence is just as impressive. When listening to her or FM, try and get the videos of their performances.

[@pattylyons9645]

Stevie sings lead on "Gold Dust Woman" my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I'd love to hear your reaction to her version from her concert in Chicago. The beginning is fantastic.

[@Kimmerkel-k]

Rumours was the first full album I fell in love with….moving from just listening to top 40 as a teen. 40 plus years later I still love it!! 💕

[@sneakyfox4651]

Choosing between Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush as a teenage boy back in the late 70s was next to impossible. Also two of the greatest voices of that era.

[@christianslater2736]

For me what makes her voice special, is it is literally magical or mystical..it just has that quality..

[@stevesmyth5673]

I have always been impressed by the skill and craftmanship of Fleetwood Mac, It is ironic that so often the best musical groups break up while doing their best work, such as what happened after the Rumours album on which this song first appeared. Really liked your reaction and analysis. 😴

[@catherinejenkins2284]

This song was written in like 20 mins in a little Casio about her break up. You are 💯on the lack of training. She wondered at some point if she should learn and McVie told her she would go back and change everything she ever did, she was better on her journey the way she is ♥️

[@ronweber1402]

Then the guy the song was written about would have to get up and play it hundreds of times. In fact most of that album was about her nasty breakup with Lindsey Buckingham.

The singer, Stevie Nicks, is also the composer of the song. It was a thing with the band, whoever wrote the song, sung the song.

Stevie Nix is the only woman inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame TWICE -- first time with Fleetwood Mac -- later as a solo act.

[@blastingweevil2968]

Stevie Nicks one of the best female vocalists of all time ... everything about her voice just makes you feel warm and safe sooo soothing.

[@robinfra52]

Lindsey is using a wah wah pedal. You can get expressive sound from one. You don't have to pump it constantly. It is like working a tone control on the guitar. many Telecaster players used to reverse their 2 knobs to do that.

[@sueparras6028]

You should listen to Edge of Seventeen, the Chicago concert with Stevie Nicks as a solo act. She has the BEST voice in rock.

[@hgbb16]

Agree!;

[@vivianacillo9670]

Totally agree ❤️👍

[@ronweber1402]

Edge of Seventeen is my favourite Stevie Nicks song for Stevie alone then as a group I think The Chain is my favourite.

The album Rumors was mountain BIG for Fleetwood. Stevie and Lindsey were a romanic couple at one time. You are obsessed with her voice. I saw in the 1970's AND fell crazy in love with Stevie. er stage presence was magic! Plus her voice!!! But my favorite song by Stevie and Lindsey is "Landslide".. Hey pretty lady please locate and review that timeless perfect tune, Take care and ROCK on!!!!!! Question time are you going to get a drum kit??

The Corrs did a cool live cover of it with Mick Fleetwood guesting. Royal Albert Hall about 25 years ago. It's on KZbin, and there's also a studio version that's on the expanded edition of their second album "Talk on Corners."

[@brucebailey6688]

Maggie Renee', you should do a cover of this? I think you could do it well. Also do some reaction to Christine McVie. She was much much more than just the backing vocals for Fleetwood Mac. Her history with FM dates back to '69 or '70. She did a cover of Etta James "I'd Rather Go Blind" with a group called Chicken Shack. Plus many many more great songs. I think she's one of the most unrecognized , underrated vocals of the past 50 years. It may be all by her choice as well??

Great video! Loved your reaction! ❤ Stevie Nicks is my all-time favorite singer. I am curious what you think about a theory someone said about her voice.

A little info about this concert, stevie was freaking high when she sang this song. But she still managed to knock it right out of the park.

[@Warlocke000]

An interesting comparison, as it is also a live performance and by the same artists, is the version of Dreams from their 1997 live album, The Dance. Rhiannon is another interesting one for comparison, since every version that gets released seems to have different lyrics. It feels like Stevie Nicks rewrites that one (a few of her songs, actually) from time to time...

[@johnbarton1690]

Stevie was one of my first crushes

[@acegh0st]

You're right. He's using a volume pedal on the guitar for the swells.

[@cdscsi]

Stevie talked about how she got her distinctive voice on a talk show. She said she had no voice training and actually ruined her voice. What she ended up with, after YEARS of training, is the voice you hear in this song. She said it was the best the vocal coach could get out of her after years of abusing her voice.

[@robwilkes8436]

Maggie, Stevie's voice really carries the emotions of the songs she is singing. This particular song was about the impending breakup between her and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. The song is telling Buckingham that he will never find another woman like her once she's gone. "Go Your Own Way" is also about their breakup.

Maggie, you should record a cover to "Dreams" btw not only did Stevie sing "Dreams" she also wrote "dreams"

[@Patriot_Drone_Services]

Hello again Maggie. Nice reaction video as always. He is using an effect pedal, but not to get the volume swells, for that he is using a volume pedal. Much much easier to use then using the volume knobs, especially on a split pickup guitar that has individual tone and volume controls for each individual pickup. His finger picking on this song doesn’t give a guitar player enough time to get the volume swells using the volume knobs.

[@Jesusistheway5724]

Nice reaction, you are good 👊🏻! The album 'Rumours' and the song 'Go your own way' were both number one in my country when I was born.

One of my all time faves from them is "I'm So Afraid" Song by Lindsey Buckingham. The performance of the song is from their "The Dance" tour. He is one of the best guitarists out there.
