Christine on 'Not Make Believe'?
 

OK, am I just crazy or does anyone else hear Christine on "Not Make Believe"? I hear her especially during the second verse of the song, when the background voices echo Stevie: "Sometimes it was heavenly/Sometimes it was too heavy" etc. And listen to "Sometimes it was JUST too much for me" _ that HAS to be her on "just."
I know Lindsey does a credible job at manipulating his own voice to sound like Christine's, but something about the phrasing and tone on these lines makes me think it's definitely Christine.
What do you all think?

Yes, I noticed the same thing. It sounds a lot like Christine, doesn't it? LOL, and yes, especially that "Just"... the way the note is hit and the sound of it... absolutely! :nod:

I hope not! Of all the SYW songs, why take part in such a TERRIBLE song?! LOL

What? LOL. I never knew that!

That's weird because I never thought for a miute it was anyone but Lindsey. He sounds the same on Murrow, RTTG, and Little Lies for that matter.

lol, Dissention. You really hate it don't you. :shrug: Can't get enough of it myself :D

Do I ever, DOR! I usually love every song Stevie puts her mark on (with the exception of When I See You Again and No Questions Asked) but this one just reeks like moldy chese! :laugh: :eek: ;)

I really like it. I love what Lindsey does with the guitars on the chorus. It's my favorite thing he does, pure genius. I love the way he takes a simple song and makes it come alive with these wierd interesting sounds. For example You and I part 1, man what he does to that song. How does he do it?

Well, you know how he sometimes speeds up recordings of his voice to make it sound higher, like on a lot of TANGO IN THE NIGHT? That's what I was referring to. It doesn't sound exactly like Christine, but when he makes his voice artificially high, it does approximate her range and tone.
Still, something about the sound of the backups on "Not Make Believe" just scream "Christine" at me. There's some really high harmony on those lines I mentioned, and it doesn't sound like either Stevie or Lindsey (natural or computerized). But like I said, I could be just imagining things. :)

I liked the demo much better!
