Glad this has finally been cleared up (at least IMO)! It never made sense to me that the WOS version was Mac. A summary of the reasons:
_ The prominence of Stevie's backup singers.
_ It appeared on the German acetate TISL -- this alone proves it predates the Say You Will sessions.
_ As Johnny Stew notes, Sheryl's promise that there would be an exciting Lindsey guest appearance on TISL.
_ An earlier version of "Thrown Down" is never discussed in the "Destiny Rules" film. If they had entirely scrapped the first version and re-recorded, it's likely there would have been some reference to that in the doc.
_ The new lyrics in the final version... indicating a significant amount of time passed between the recording of WOS and the final.
