Default versions of "Twisted"

I have been listening to this song a LOT lately and think it is the best song she wrote post 1994. I wish she would bring it back Live, either solo or with the new Mac! (she could do it INSTEAD of "Stand Back" for a change )

I can't decide which version is best....the one with Lindsey for the movie in 1996 or the 24K version. Both are incredible. Anyone else into this song a lot?

Yes! And my favorite version is actually the live version she did in 1996, shortly before rejoining Mac. It’s far different from any of the recorded versions. And she just seems so joyful singing it.

My favourite version is the 24K Gold one and it's actually one of my favourites from the album, it's warm, mellow and intense.
It suits well her now contralto voice showcasing those low notes of her register that she seldom uses. On this track you can see that she's still a very good singer, she losed power with age but can have still a good range and above all she retains all her expressivity, she should just experiment more with low notes in songs that doesn't require much belting.

I thought the 24K one was redundant since we have the one from Enchanted. They're very similar.

My fave is the one with Lindsey, although I do wish they'd kept the lines "In this game that you play with God / you've been warned to retreat."

I prefer the version with Lindsey, on the "Twister" Soundtrack.

The first version with Lindsey was easily the best. Each one after was a waste to me.

I think the one on 24KG was a big “FU” to Lindsey Buckingham. She didn’t like the production of it. Sure, the one on Enchanted was nice. But the difference was not Big enough huh to warrant it taking up space on 24KG. The end vocals on the ‘96 version were ten times better. I also miss the Bridge they added to the song. It needed that bridge

My favorite version is the one with Lindsey. My least favorite is the one on 24 Karat; it's so bland and lacks passion in my opinion.

It TOTALLY was a big FU. She thinks her demos are perfect the way they are. Lindsey puts "thousand of overdubs" on her songs. Sorry but the 24k version was BORING. The version with Lindsey was far superior and I love the ending.

I like the 24KG version best, the Enchanted version second, and the duo is my least favorite.

I haven't heard the Enchanted version in probably ten years; I just remember really not liking it and thinking it was ruined, but maybe it was just cognitive dissonance.

The Twister version is magnificent and is easily one of my favorite Stevie "solo" tracks.

The 24KG version I almost respond to as a different song--and it is also magnificent and one of my favorite Stevie solo tracks. It and Mabel Normand were probably my favorite 24KG tracks--which is saying A LOT.

I hated the Mabel Normand demo. Couldn't believe she was doing it for her album and then... wow... what a turnaround! The finished version won me over!

OMG I felt the same way about the title song 24 KG. HATE the demo versions and I was so worried when I found out that would be the title of the album! But I LOVE the finished version and now it is one of my favorite songs!

I could never understand why she rerecorded Twisted for 24KG in such a dreary, flat style. It is a definite skipover for me. To me, the version with Lindsey is a thousand times more interesting.

I like all of 24KG except the godawful trio of I Don't Care, Watch Chain, and Hard Advice. Carousel and The Dealer rank low too.

The rest is full of Stevie in all her overblown overdramatic raw best.
