Nice try. LB and CM
totally changed their old songs to suit their current voices. I can only think of one FM song that Lindsey still sings in its original key ("Tusk"). Christine has also dropped the keys to most of her old songs, although not quite as dramatically. Ironically, Stevie's old FM songs are performed in their original keys and she only dodges a handful of notes in "Rhiannon," "Dreams" and "Gypsy." And more recently, she punts on the GDW wail... but you have to admit that, of the three, her voice is far and away stronger, clearer and more on pitch than Lindsey or Christine these days.
