Well, not on her songs, anyway. "Coming Home" is pretty far out...

But now listening to it in retrospect, in the context of the other awful production choices from 'Tango in the Night,' I think the Christine-voice-distortion isn't too bad; in fact, it's kind of fun to make Chris's voice sound a little like Lindsey's voice.

I remember being REALLY annoyed when Tango came out because Lindsey's production touches on Christine's voice seemed to strip it of its distinction. Compare, for example, "Isn't it Midnight" on record with her singing of it live...the latter is way better: a warmer, sexier sound.
