I would love to hear Stevie doing "Oh Daddy"!! I've just been listening to the song recently and imaging Stevie's voice on it and I think it would be phenomenal!! It would be strange not to hear Christine doing it, but I think Stevie could pull it off.
I think we need to be open to the idea that some of these songs that Christine used to do will probably be "re-worked" in some way to better fit Stevie's voice and/or a duet situation with Lindsey. Let's face it, "Oh Daddy", "Don't Stop", "Hold Me", "You Make Lovin' Fun", "Say You Love Me" and a host of other songs that were Christine "standards" just won't sound the same with Stevie or Lindsey doing them. It's going to be different, no matter what.
Maybe there should be a different song where Mick gets his drum solo and maybe he could do something different with it. He should have an actual percussion kit rolled out to the front of the stage during a different song and do his solo that way. It would be different, it would do away with "World Turning" (which I think is awesome every time I see it, but obviously others don't agree) and be possibly more entertaining than the touch pads in the vest. I don't have any ideas about the song where this could be done, but I'm open to ideas. "Green Manalishi"? "Oh Well"? "Not That Funny"? I don't know.
Anyone with any thoughts?
