Stevie Nicks: Britney's Not a Real Rock Star

Britney Spears may be one of the biggest stars of our generation, but does she deserve the title of rock star? According to Stevie Nicks, no!

Stevie has been a fixture in the music biz for ages, and is famous for her edgy songs like Stand Back and Stop Draggin My Heart Around. She knows a thing or two about the industry by now, and is still rocking out at age 60!

And Stevie isn’t exactly feeling the love for Britney, and she’s not convinced she’s a true rocker. Stevie recently told Extra, "You have to pay dues to be a real rock star." Ouch! Hitting her where it hurts! Apparently everything Britney’s gone through in her life isn’t enough!

She went on to say, , "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."

Well, we’ll chalk it up to different times. Stevie definitely deserves the respect she’s gotten as a female rocker in the industry. But we have to give Britney big ups for overcoming all of her obstacles and still reigning as one of the top pop queens ever. She may not be a rock star, but she’s definitely a hitmaker!

Brit is definitely NOT a rock star. She's a pop star, a whole different kettle of fish. Brit's performances revolve around the show, not the music. I think it would be great if she got into rock, getting deeper into the music, writing songs from within and performing them without all the dancing and sets; I know she could do it. But at this point Brit is just a rich, spoiled brat who takes no responsibility for her actions, certainly NOT a legend that any young girl should emulate. ness01, you are just showing your ignorance calling Stevie an old bag. Get a grip!

Obviously she is a pop star not a rock star, but the same is true of Nicks.

No she isn't a rockstar, she bigger than that , she a f*cking legend! and obviously this Stevie woman doesn't know what she's talking about, I mean as a kid britney got dragged to almost every talent show and appeared on several tv shows, and her family weren't that rich, I mean there were times they hardly or didn't got by and if that wasn't enough, she did pay her dues, I mean come on the paparazzi, She's been through so much because of them. I think she worked a lot harder than Stevie

That old bag needs to shut the hell up. Britney's not a rock star, she's the biggest pop star of our generation. She has a little hate running though her blood.

"Apparently everything Britney’s gone through in her life isn’t enough!" Um, like what? Not having any self control? Being "diagnosed" with a mental illness doesn't mean you've paid your dues for being a rock star.

Stevie is correct, Brit is not a Rock Star. It's a whole different venue/world.
