Good question. Whether she was offended or not, omitting her from the chorus of this song, parts of "Oh Daddy" set a precedent in the group's process. Stevie sang on the original studio takes of "Think About Me" and "Hold Me' and was removed from there as well.
At the same time, Stevie's other contributions to the final studio "Oh Daddy" and "YMLF" are important, as are her backing vocals on "Honey Hi," "Never Forget," "Love in Store" and "Everywere." I think LB and CM just made judgment calls as to whether or not her voice sounded good in certain areas of certain songs. Later on, when LB left, Stevie's presence on Christine's songs was still carefully placed--she's only audible on parts of "Save Me" and "Heart of Stone."
