I'm only voting for one song, "One In a Million." It's not that I don't think any of the others deserve to move on, but I think this song stands head and shoulders above everything else on the album. It's a return to her blues roots, and the best duet vocal of Christine's entire career. I don't want to water down my vote for this fantastic song by voting for anything else.

I agree completely! OIAM is the standout track on the entire album. The guitar figure that runs through the song, with the B-3 on top, just pushes it over the top!

I voted for "Got A Hold On Me" only because it was her lone top 10 solo hit and should be represented. That being said, it's not her greatest work. "The Smile I Live For" should make the cut. I'm sorry to see "Ask Anybody" doing so poorly. It's one of best pieces of work. "Ask Anybody" stands among Chris' finest.

I voted for all ten, though none of those were as good as "Too Much Is Not Enough."

It's my favorite on the album. The one song that sounds as fresh today as it did in '84. Smile I Live For is a very close second. The rest of the songs, though good, are not nearly as good as these two.

Seems like anytime Lindsey and Christine did something together, it was amazing.

It was the last song she wrote for the album. I remember reading an interview with her once where she said they were in Switzerland and most of the songs had already been fleshed out. She went off on her own and wrote it. I can't imagine the record without it.

Such a beautiful way to close an album.

Ask Anybody is superb! I love the overall sad and minor feel to the song, it's just so beautiful.

[MacShadowsBall]

Such great songs here. I love One in a Million. Still deciding my votes.

Remember that songs must get 50% to move forward. Will "Got a Hold on Me" be the only song to move forward? Ledgies, we still have until tonight before voting closes.

**I voted for The Challenge, One in a Million, Got a Hold on Me, and The Smile I Live For.

[MacShadowsBall]

With 71% of the votes, Got A Hold on Me is the only song that continues in the definitive Christine collection contest.
