She will complain about bad experiences behind the scenes when the album is a big hit (like Rumours or TITN] but she will never criticize the music itself. But when an album is a flop (e.g., Street Angel or Say You Will), she will talk trash about the music. I mean, what does she have to gain by criticizing a really successful piece of work?

Well, she criticized Lindsey's songs on Tusk, but maybe you don't think that was a successful piece of work. Actually, while she's not going to criticize Christine's songs openly one way or another, no matter what, I think if she wasn't happy with
her songs on Tango, she'd tell the world about it. She didn't like IDWTK being picked for Rumours and didn't mind saying so and if she thought that Lindsey only picked her worse songs for Tango she'd have said so and she would have mocked his own songs too. In fact, I'm not sure why she hasn't mocked Family Man, at the very least. She said how she was the one who made Lindsey do backgrounds on Mirage (for Christine's songs). She said she wasn't going to have no background singing on that album. I think she would have said something similar to lament the lack of background singing on Tango too, if she thought she had grounds.
