For the rest of this month, my motto is: I'm waiting on the countdown, sitting in the shade. Things about to turn around. How the madness fades.

I can hardly function mentally any longer. You know, exhilarating, disappointing or something in between, London is going to be one of those moments in history that ... This month, we're getting a top 10 FM moment, any way it goes, good, bad or indifferent.

Do you think Chris will go through with it, Michele?

I'm still unsure that she will want to perform in front of however many people are in the O2.

Of course if it happened that would be amazing

Still don't know which night, right?

[michelej1]

Yes, I think she'll do it. Since she has spoken about it -- and not just, Mick -- I don't think it is something she won't do.

No, we don't have a night for it. I am thinking both of the last 2 nights though, if I have to place a wager,

Like I said on the Stevie & Lindsey thread. I don't think Lindsey and Chris did or were sleeping together.

I do think that they were close co-workers, and did definitely care about each other. They have the same sarcastic humor, respect each other musically, so I'm sure in the studio and on tour they had a good time together, but I think it stopped there.

Chris definitely thought Lindsey was hot. She even said so in several interviews. So, I think she might have been willing to sleep with Lindsey (though not have a relationship with him) if he wanted to, because he was hot but he was also not her type. She liked a guy that was laid back, and fun, and that she could have a beer with. Lindsey is NOTHING like that.

I think Lindsey found her attractive, and enjoyed hanging out with her, but all the interviews I have ever seen where he talks about Chris, he never seem like he was interested in having a serious relationship with her. It always seem to me that he saw her as a kindred spirit, but nothing romantic.

(IMO) Lindsey was still dealing with the fall out from his and Stevie's relationship and still having emotional issues with having to see her and work with her everyday. I can't see him wanting to sleep with another female (even if he found her attractive) in the band and possibly having to deal with more drama within the band from not just 1 woman, but 2. Also, you know it would have ticked John off as well, so then Lindsey would would have to deal with John too.

There are times when Stevie and John would flirt with each other (obviously to tick Lindsey & Chris off) and then you would see Lindsey and Chris start flirting with each other to get back at them, but I just don't think anything happen with Lindsey & Chris anymore than with John & Stevie.

frankly, i think they themselves may not even know lol. they were all so high and drunk and out of it for so much of their time together and sharing close quarters and changing in the same dressing room and partying and who knows what that i wouldn't be in the least surprised if either couple did it maybe once maybe twice. i don't think rational thinking had too much to do with most of their actions at the time.

i don't really care about John's or Stevie's private lives (more than i have to because it's being thrown in my face by lyrics, interviews or fans). looking at Christine and Lindsey and some of their interactions i wouldn't be surprised if it happened here or there.

but mostly i do think that Christine and Lindsey have some great chemistry together, and interesting warm relationship with a lot of respect for each other's work and musicianship and enjoying some wry humor together... as Lindsey also mentioned when describing FM getting together in LA at the beginning of this year, right before the tour started. i don't know enough and it's not really my business but i don't think either of them ever really had any couple relationship inclinations towards each other.

IMO, I think that if there was a point where Chris and Lindsey slept together, it would be between Mirage and Tango in the Night, but it's a short fling, at most. I don't see them being in a relationship together because she's too 'forward' for him, he's too 'uptight' for her. But I won't be shocked if they haven't slept together either.

If we're talking about a musical relationship, then hell to the yes. The mutual understanding they have is extremely palpable.

hope it happens and goes great and gets recorded multiple times for posterity by multiple fans from multiple positions in the audience... although expectations are so high and low at the same time that it's hard to tell.

I think it would happen, since Christine herself has said she would do it. She has committed publicly and privately. If there's a strength personality-wise that woman has, it is keeping her word.

There are photos in here from The Dance, but what stands out most to me in the taped concert is the song "Bleed to Love Her." There are shot-reverse-shots of Lindsey and Christine playing to each other in that song, with Stevie off playing her tambourine. That song always stands out to me; I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in this topic.

Also, aren't there rumours that the song "Isn't It Midnight" had some resonance to a Lindsey-Christine affair?

I can't believe it's September already!!

I agree completely.

I don't think Lindsey and Christine were having an affair at all. However, whenever he is standing away from his mic, not singing, he is frequently looking at Christine. That's always been true and that is certainly a poignant part of the official Dance dvd. Brett never got that kind of action.

I don't think it's an allusion to an affair either.

Personally, I'd prefer to think of their chemistry as sensual, and not sexual.
