So cancel everything.

oh, it's all good.
you are orders of magnitude better with words than i am (although i can always pull an excuse that english is not my first language
) - parts that i bolded in your post are exactly what i was trying to state in my roundabout wordy way in responses to your post.
EDIT: to clarify - it is not Christine's singing that puts me off - i think her singing is beautiful, but her songwriting is in most cases too breezy poppy for my taste. but it definitely is some of Stevie's lyrics (yeah particularly stupid parts do come to mind lol), no real or different melodies in many of her songs, and her nasal voice - which is not always nasal, sometimes her voice does sound gorgeously interesting - "tell me lies" bit comes to mind, and i actually like broken-sounding voices as i said above, but Marianne Faithfull or Amy Winehouse type of female voice would be more my taste.
