Fleetwood Mac star praises Miley Cyrus: 'She has real potential'

Songstress Stevie Nicks, of Fleetwood Mac fame, has spoken out in support of Miley Cyrus and revealed that she believes the former Disney starlet has the "ability to be great".

During an interview with ITV's 'Loose Women', the 'Edge of Seventeen' rocker used Cyrus as an example of misunderstood celebrities and said that people "will be sorry" for criticising her when her real talent is exposed:

"I think that people will be sorry. I am going to use Miley Cyrus as an example as I happen to really like her. I happen to think that she - unlike some of the other rock and roll 'slash' actresses that we are really worried about - has the possibility and the ability to be a great actress, a great singer and probably a great songwriter and go on until she's my age."

"I think that she will not be very happy with what just went down two weeks ago. When you're really young, you don't think about even ten years from now or five years. I actually didn't either. I was really focused. I was really focused on who I wanted to be and what I wanted to be and I knew I was going to be in this business for a long time."

Cyrus caused a stir earlier this week with the release of her music video for 'Wrecking Ball', which broke the VEVO 24-hour record, as it shows her completely naked and crying.
