Vocalists
In my humble opinion, the best sounding vocalist in this band is Stephanie Lynn Nicks.
Yet she refuses to record her honeyed voice with LJMC. Anyone, Lindsey, Chris, got Sheryl Crow's phone number? If she was going to replace Christine, surely she's good enough to replace Stevie. Besides, Chris is an alto. Sheryl and Stevie are both contraltos the last time I checked. And despite what someone on here claims, Stevie has a bigger range than three notes and Sheryl most definitely does too. |

As for Stevie's range. Listening to her sing some of her songs is heartbreaking. Dreams is an easy example where she takes no risk whatsoever. I cringed during SOTM. She did great on GDW. Christine was near perfect on Songbird one night, then the next very shaky. LB for all my FMac & BuckVie shows was pretty solid. He was off pitch on Red Sun and it drove me crazy because he never corrected during the chorus. These guys act like they're old or something. lol

At this point, they're all uneven--each having good and awful moments.
However, Stevie consistently has volume (that's something) and is pretty predictable in her delivery. That doesn't mean I always like what I'm hearing from her. Lindsey also has volume but he hasn't sung terrifically live in a long, long time. Much of the magic of his dry tenor has faded. Christine live is a dice throw. Sometimes she sounds great, as she did on Little Lies from the Musicares event. Other times--egads. ................ In the studio there is no question that Christine's voice reproduces the most effectively. I'm sure she (as the others) gets help from autotune but whatever studio gadgetry is used hasn't diminished or altered her incredibly distinctive tone. Unlike LB or SN, her studio performances sound almost identical to her Rumours-era voice. I challenge anyone who would defy this. |

Honey? Hardly! More like nose honey as in NASAL! Let's face it all of their voices have seen better days.

I think the sound at the venue plays a major role too. I saw Christine and Lindsey at the Beacon last year. Christine was very difficult to understand. The two people I was with do not know her songs as well as I do and they could not understand a lot of her lyrics. |
