Least Favorite Christine song from Mirage

[MacShadowsBall]

Let's get started with the voting for least favorite Christine song from Mirage. :cool:

Poll closes in 4 days.

All are lovely, but Only Over You has a weird intro and vocal.

[Fiver]

This is another tough one for me. I know Mirage isn't a masterpiece, but I enjoy the whole thing so much...

I'll go with WYWH, I guess.

[xxxmx]

Wish You Were Here used to suck, but got a boost when they ganked the intro for The Dance version of Silver Springs.

Therefore, Only Over You gets my vote.

I love all of these songs. And I'm a person who can't find anything of Christine's on Rumours to like except Don't Stop. With this album, I feel completely different. I'd toss out Songbird before thinking of any of these 4 songs as a least favorite.

The only reason I could ax one of these songs is because Love In Store has that whole kitschy '50s sound to it that Lindsey's songs also exhibit on Mirage. So it had to go. :)

[McTrouble]

I really like Love In Store and Hold Me.

Don't like the other two as much so it was a flip up again - Only Over You won as my least favourite.

[Silver Springs]

Wish You Were here isn't without its charm. Only Over You is just dismal. It seems to carry on the Chris "unbalanced boredom to entertainment ratio" that has become somewhat of her trademark for me.

I have always either loved Chris's songs or just been plain indifferent to them.

I do like her but I would have to say she's my least favourite of the songwriters.

Really these polls are a doddle for me, Lindsey is always going to come out favourite in any category.

The only difficulty is when it comes to having to vote for least fav Lindsey stuff :nod:

Only Over You. Nails on a chalkboard:eek:

[Artemis]

Only Over You.

Hold Me and Love In Store are great, and, like Bee said, Wish You Were Here has a certain charm to it. Only Over You bores me though.

[jbrownsjr]

Love them all... but OOY.. I guess if i have to pick..

[Dreamz19]

I really can't stand "Love in Store." Its the only Christine song I feel that way about. It ranks up there with "That's Enough For Me" as one of my least favorite Mac songs. I adore OOY. Too bad its being slaughtered.

[GypsySorcerer]

"Only Over You." I hate how she sings, "I'm *OUT* of my mind..." Yuck.

That and "One More Night" are the only two songs from her I truly despise.

[TrueFaith77]

WYWH -- OOY won out cuz I love the way she sings "Out"

[Hawkeye]

They're all equally Eh, so I went with Hold Me since I never got the appeal of it whatsoever. Love In Store is the only one I like at all.

[YoungAmericans]

just like with Lindsey's songs, I find something really really undesirable and just flat out bad about Christine's songs on Mirage. :shrug:

[HomerMcvie]

I used to really hate OOY, but it has grown on me, through the years....but it's still my least favorite. It's just too sleepy.

[RickRobert]

I've always found Only Over You really interesting. I think it's in the Mixolydian mode, so it's major but there's this weird unresolved dreamy feeling. They REALLY should have done a double-take on that first "OUT" of my mind though. It's supposed to be a C but she hit a C# :shrug: Love In Store is nice, Wish You Were Here is so-and-so... never liked Hold Me, though it's way better live.

[caroline79]

Haven't heard any of these, except Hold Me which I love love love love, so I can't vote in this one! :lol:

[darklinensuit]

"Hold Me" gets my vote. The only one I really like a lot is WYWH.

[markolas]

I really like Only Over You. Actually, I don't think any of her songs on this album are awful - one of the reasons I avoided this album for so long is b/c so many Ledgies said they hated hers & LB's songs on it. I'm not listening to you guys anymore. :lol:

Anyway, my vote was for WYWH. It's not terrible, but not a favorite either.

[MacShadowsBall]

I really like all of these songs, but the one I enjoy the least is "Only Over You".

[michelej1]

I like Hold Me better than 95% of all Mac songs, period. Dee-licious.

My vote: WYWH.

Rotten lyrics, a melody without a good hook, sodden orchestration, no cool ideas going on, bad playing (particularly on the tag out), & a bridge that compounds all those problems tenfold.

OOY has many of Christine's strengths, like the singular singing style (listen to the signature way she sings "gone" in "I miss you when you're gone"). HM is about as charming as pop has been since the lads from Liverpool.

Haha.. it's funny I love the outro... tiny little jam in there sends me off to listen to Tango.. the next chapter..

[kick.inside]

I honestly love them all but I went with Only Over You. I guess I love that one the least. I don't think there are any FM songs I actually dislike so these polls are hard for me.
