Don't get me wrong, almost all singers overemote on stage at some point or another, even other members of Fleetwood Mac (Stevie on the songs you mentioned, Lindsey on "Not That Funny" and a few others -- only Christine is guilt-free there!), but whereas some overemote on a section or two of a few songs, Bekka tends to do it on every line of every song.
A little goes a lonnng way, in my book.

Now, again, don't get me wrong -- I quite like Bekka. I just tend to prefer when she sings in a more straightforward way, like she usually does on studio recordings. But that's just my personal taste.

It also must be said that I don't compare the two. Just as I never compare Stevie and Christine, or Bekka and Christine.
Each woman is an individual, with a very distinct style of her own. I prefer to view them through their own merits, not by how they stack up to someone else.
