FINALS: Favorite Christine Song
 
Here are your choices for favorite Christine song...

1. Why
2. Say You Love Me
3. You Make Loving Fun
4. Little Lies

These songs represent the very best of Christine's work with Fleetwood Mac.

Vote for one song, according to the original album version, yes only one...:distress:

Holidayroad will again act as Tiebreaker/Arbiter. The winner will move on the Favorite Song nominations. The battle ends in 4 days.

Below are some of my favorite performance of these great songs...


Why 1973 - Midnight Special 1975




Say You Love Me 1975 - The Dance 1997




You Make Loving Fun 1977 - Mirage Tour 1982




Little Lies 1987 - Tango in the Night Tour 1987

As Predictable as it sounds. I have to go with Say You love Me. It's the song I most Associate with Christine:nod:

It was a toss up between SYLM and Little Lies. Little Lies won.

This was the hardest vote yet.
Can I split my vote .5 for each

Say You Love Me
and
You Make Lovin' Fun

If not, Say You Love Me it is.

MacShadowsBall 12-08-2010 10:50 PM

Can't split your vote...:sorry:

Tough choice, eh?:nod:

CreepingDeath 12-09-2010 12:24 AM

Very tough choice between Why and Little Lies. I ended up choosing Little Lies.

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two... :nod:

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god it's like picking children O_o

GypsySorcerer 12-09-2010 08:32 AM

That was incredibly hard. But in the end, I went with "Why."

My heart will rise up with the morning sun, and the hurt I feel will simply melt away <------------ Probably my favorite Christine lyric ever

MissLadyLoki 12-09-2010 08:47 AM

Like Georgie said, it was like picking children! So I closed my eyes, clicked on a random answer, hit vote, and it turns out I got You Make Loving Fun

~GoldDustWoman~ 12-09-2010 09:40 AM

I didn't watch the videos but I picked Little Lies.

TerraRhiannon 12-09-2010 10:16 AM

"Sweet, wonderful you..." ♥ It's just...completely Christine.

fairydust75 12-09-2010 10:02 PM

This is rather difficult, but I hav't to choose Why. It's beautiful lyrics, the harmony of the three voices together as one. It was the begining of something epic for us fans:nod::)

It was a tough choice between Why and YMLF

I adore that line even though it's pure fantasy on my part.

There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

You make me feel, I just can't carry on
But I know I won't always be that way
'Cos my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

You don't have to give up
Why is it all wrong
Why don't you love me
Why won't you just be strong

The only one of these I don't really feel the love for is 'Little Lies'. The other three, though, are all stellar.

I'm going for YMLF, though. Because it's such a great match of content and mood - that bubbly bassline and the way the chorus soars - it's how you feel when you've gotta new squeeze and it's just so gooooooood.....:blob1:

I'm thrilled Say You Love Me is getting such attention, though I hope this is for the white album version. As charming as the Dance banjo strum along is, it doesn't top the excitement of the original, those opening chords on the piano, that tingly first verse, and--of course--the magical chorus.

That said, I voted for You Make Loving Fun!:laugh:

MacShadowsBall 12-12-2010 05:10 PM

All songs are to be judged by the original album version. I just personalized the thread by adding some of my favorite performances of the songs nominated.

MacShadowsBall 12-12-2010 09:45 PM

I voted for Say You Love Me. Now its tied between that and You Make Loving Fun. I've contacted holidayroad, who is prepared to act as tiebreaker, if need be.

Still got about 20 minutes till nominations close...:eek:

MacShadowsBall 12-12-2010 10:18 PM

Well the nominations are closed and we have a tie between "Say You Love Me" and "You Make Loving Fun". Holidayroad has informed me of her vote.

I'll post that tiebreaking vote and the results in a few minutes, so continue sitting on your pins and needles Ledgies! :laugh:

MacShadowsBall 12-12-2010 10:38 PM

Nomination and Tiebreaker Results
 
I'm back.:nod:

Holidayroad's tiebreaking vote goes to..."You Make Loving Fun". With that vote made official by MacShadowsBall, here are the results...

You Make Loving Fun - 20 nominations
Say You Love Me - 19 nominations
Why - 16 nominations
Little Lies - 8 nominations

I declare "You Make Loving Fun" Favorite Christine Song. It will move on the nominations for Favorite Rumours Era song on Wednesday.

Why and Little Lies are album winners so they are still competing in the battle.

However, Say You Love Me is officially out of the battle of the songs. :sorry:

Thanks to holidayroad for helping with these nominations. :angel:
