I'm not arguing with you, just curious to get more explanation of why you feel this way.
I have listened to the four songs that various posters said they could hear Chris on, and I agree, she's there, at least in the background mix, on all of them. I would also be surprised if that's not her playing the piano on that one song of Bekka's ("NothingWithout You").
About "Talkin To My Heart" -- is that Chris doing the sort of delicate background aaaaah's toward the end, while Bekka does a more aggressive backing vocal? If that is indeed Chris, it is very nice. (It's very nice anyway.)
By the way, not to start any arguments, but I really don't like the way Bekka sings. There are too many notes in there that don't belong in the melody. I understand she was trying to not sound like Chris, and especially not sound like Stevie, but I don't particularly like the result.

Oh I don't take anything on here personally... so you can ask me anything...
The opening piano riff of I Do... I wish it was an acoustic Grand Piano vs the electric piano voice/pad she's playing.. just a personal preference.... the timbre she's using sounds really late 80's to me.. and i believe this was 1994 or 5...
I love the song Skies the Limit as well, but don't like the choice of keyboard sound here either... (i know it's from BTM) just another example....
Sounds i do love from her...
Keys on Friend, Crystal, YMLF, Dreams, Hold Me, Born Enchanter, Angel, Believe Me, Morning Rain, Warm Ways, Oh Daddy, One in A Million....
just to name some...
the keys don't sound dated to me on these tunes... they seem timeless.... B3, fender sounds, AC Gpiano, upright piano etc...
and i'm not a keyboard expert... i'm just listening to sound she's creating and saying yay or nay... fresh vs stale... just my thing...
