In the meantime, I just hear a girl playing guitar and singing Everywhere at her home, when I was walking my Beagle past her house.

No, they were just goating along.

I think her voice was in good shape in 1981, though it's true it had already changed comparing to 1975-77. If I had to mock or comically imitate her "goat" voice (though actually it reminds me more of Donald Duck), it would be Silent Night. I know many loved that performance, but I completely dislike her voice in that song.

But what about RAL? I think there are about 4 songs on that album where the vocal is ok. The rest of it is fried or inaudible at times. That sad part is she was living in a bubble and she was on top of the world (at least in her mind) so she could not hear the destruction in her voice. No one dared tell her either that her voice was shot.
IMHO her peak vocals were 1980 to 1983 (pre-Wild Heart tour). The 1983 tour with Joe was the beginning of her unraveling. She was kept from press interviews, concerts were recorded but never released. She still had power and range on some nights but she was going to hit the wall really soon. Even 1982 during the Mirage tour she was still hitting the highest of high notes on Sara yet Rhiannon was a vocal fry mess. Bella Donna (album and tour) she was on top of her game.
Once she got off coke her voice recovered some for a bit before the next wave of klonopin kicked in.

Edge of 17 was on BBC radio 2 yesterday.
This is never heard on national Radio…never. I did a double take thing….and even then I stopped and checked I was hearing right.

I was listening to the True Crime podcast Redhanded and one of the hosts is planning her wedding. She was wondering whether she should use vocals or just the instrumental of the song she chose, which she didn't want to divulge to the audience. She said she would prefer an instrument, but it's a classic song and everyone knows it and she thinks the audience will be disappointed if the words aren't used.

So, I'm just sitting there and wondering if the song is Don't Stop (not that that's a wedding song). Just as that thought passed my mind the host said everyone was suggesting Songbird to her, but she doesn't like that. So, I still don't know what song she chose, but I'm glad to know that Christine is still on the minds of 2025 brides.

Silver Springs on Classic Rewind today.

Such a vulnerable vocal. You can hear the heartbreak in her singing.
