Bekka was pretty much stepping into the platform boots of both Stevie and Christine. How in the heck could anyone be expected to pull that one off?
Bekka does her own thing best... her own style, writing, and performing.
As I was watching some of the "Time" footage, I was thinking there was NO WAY I would have bought her singing Christine's song in concert back then! And that was exactly why I didn't go see them back then. But as much as I love Bekka now, she gets a pass as the only other person that can sing those tunes.
Asking Billy to take over for Lindsey is one thing... but asking Bekka to take over for Stevie was right up there with Kenny Jones taking over for Keith Moon....
both gifted in their own ways but not really interchangeable.
