The more people that love you, the more people that hate you too I guess. It's the curse of popularity 
Keeping this is mind, I still can't help feeling peeved with this ongoing argument that Stevie owes everything to Lindsey and his magic touch, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc.
Some of my favourite Stevie tunes had nothing to do with Lindsey and his production skills (which I am not doubting at all). That said, this one song (WISYA) gets more criticism than most and Lindsey had plenty to do with it! It seems Stevie can't win. If she records a great song, Lindsey gets the credit. If she records a not so great song, well Lindsey obviously didn't pay any attention to that tune. Oh well!
Ya gotta laugh. I am tempted to start up a thread called Lindsey's worst moments, cos he does have a few (go on admit it!). As for When I See You Again, it's definitely my least favourite of the Stevie tunes on TITN but I don't understand the hatred towards it at all. Is it any worse than Caroline (fine use of Lindsey's rhyming dictionary) for instance?

I actually really like Caroline, but WISYA is still better. And you are right, people should also become aware that Lindsey is not a saint. I know most people like his songs on tusk on this board, but I think they are the pits and not good at all (other then a couple) to these ears at least.
