Take a deep breath now.

Well, isn't that sweet? In a matter of a few sentences, you painted me like some over-emotional and irrational fan, who has no idea what they're talking about.
I think I've offered a very probable explanation as to how Stevie's comments could be true, without ever veering into "Stevie's a goddess, so it MUST be true" territory.
So thanks for the little pat on the head, Daddy.
And sure, "took my voice off" is how she described it, but I doubt anyone expects Stevie to go into some long technical explanation as to how one would go about fiddling with various knobs in order to drop their voice out of a mix.
She also
never said that Lindsey was shocked or surprised when the album was released, and he heard that he was the only one singing at the end of the song. That's putting words into her mouth.
All she ever said was that Lindsey would not think to sing solo at the end of one of her songs, and that, in order to get the vibe she was after, she had to sing the lines along with him, and then remove her voice from the mix.
She very well could have played "her" mix for the band five minutes later to show them how she had been wanting it to sound all along.
Again, as I said previously, I'm 100% positive that Lindsey had to be aware of what she did fairly quickly after the fact, as these mixes must get final approval from all involved before they're sent off to be mastered.
I don't think I ever implied that she pulled a major fast-one on Lindsey, and that he was in the dark the entire time.
But hey, you know, if you want to believe Stevie's just completely talking out of her ass there, and that the whole thing could only have been another one of Lindsey's brilliant touches, that's fine.
(By the way, that she was only in the studio for "three days" is another one of those exaggerated comments that has been taken for gospel. If it
was only three days, they must have gotten a lot of work done, what with Stevie recording multiple vocals takes on "Seven Wonders," "When I See You Again," and "Welcome To The Room, Sara," as well as "What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You," "Juliet," and "Joan Of Arc."
Not to mention recording backing vocals for "Little Lies," "Everywhere," "Family Man," and "Big Love.")
