Definitely Mabel Normand. It's Stevie's favourite song from the album. Friends of mine that aren't particularly fans even like this one.
Good luck! :wavey:

All The Beautiful Worlds. Should have been a single in the 80s. Needs more love.

Mabel Normand my favorite song what might be my favorite Stevie album ever!!

I voted on All The Beautiful Worlds because it is tge most commercial song. This album is not very commercial.

This is kind of like Stevie's Tusk in a way.

But I'm not sure I need to buy a song on her birthday. What do sales matter? Plus, Stevie has taken so much of my money. It's expensive to be a loyal fan

Hard Advice is the most commercial song left.

Hard Advice is the most commercial song left.

I think the hook and her voice in that song is irresistible.. I LOVE it, but the "don't buy that doll" lyric is sooooo clunky! that's where she could use a little diplomatic editing from Dave, or anyone!

I kind of see it as a little clunky, but it doesn't bother me. I don't know if it's commercial or not, but that song wouldn't get radio play. I'd bet on Mabel Normand before Hard Advice
MN is different, but great music, vocals and lyrics. I just wish instead of the line "I'll write a book about it.." She should have said "I'll write a SONG about it" haha!

Mabel Normand doesn't make any sense. It's not a song. More of a rambling with great production. Who could sing along with it? You have to be kidding.

Twisted would be my pick.

Twisted would be my pick.

why? just curious.. I just listened to it and it really pales compared to the production on her duet with Lindsey. this is not a challenge, BTW, I'm only wondering what you see in this version

Well actually i LOVE singing along to Mabel Normand, and 24 karat :D my two favs!! Love this album !!

My 18yr old son, who listens to mainly rap crap, digs the song 24 Karat Gold. He makes me play this song back to back every time driving in the car together.. Fun times :D

Blue Water would be runners up.

I have voted among the first people for Mabel Normand because I think that is the song with most overall quality: top arrangement, top lyric expressiveness, top vocals, top energy, top passion, top originality.

I find the production and arrangement cleaner and just... I like it. I mean I don't really have a reason except for my personal taste. I love the other version too, though.

I never really liked the Lindsey duet. Maybe because I expected it to be better? I do like the Enchanted demo and the 24 KG version.

Can't believe people are suggesting Hard Advice, that has to be within the Top 10 worst songs she's ever released.

24k version is the best, then the demo on Enchanted then the watered down duet

You can count me too, among those that prefer the 24 K Gold version of Twisted over the over-produced Lindsey duet and the demo.
When I heard this version for the first time I truly fell in love with the song.

"Blue Water" would make the most sense as a single, especially if released to country stations.

I chose "Watch Chain".

It's EXTREMELY FUN to sing along with.

The harmonies are TIGHT!

The second bridge (with the Eagles-esque guitar riff) is EPIC!!!

It's also extremely RADIO FRIENDLY.

Did I mention it's fun to sing along with? :D

Any track except Watch Devil or Twisted. I wish she had found better quality songs to put on the deluxe CD. Watch Devil is pure junk, the lyrics, the arrangement, the whole bang-and-bellow package. Twisted is so dull and pointless it induces suicidal ideation. Why oh why do yet another version of this mediocre tune, and ratchet up the mediocrity with grindingly dull production? Why?! Both these miserable ditties are frightful crap that mars an otherwise delicious album.

LOL. Now that you say it, I think suicidal ideation does come to mind when we were talking about Stevie's BTM songs. But Twisted and Watch Devil .... these are two of my favorite tunes on the album. And I didn't expect to love another version of Twisted, but this one is really sultry. I like it as much as the one with Lindsey.
