I love them singing together better than the LB/SN harmonies. I know, what?

I think they had some serious chemistry, but not sure if it was romantic. In those vids, though, they're kinda affectionate with each other in a sweet way that LB/SN weren't. And I think Lindsey preferred Christine musically to Stevie by far. Just from what I've read.

WHAT?!?!

lol! I still thing LB and SN are magical together but for some reason I've always preferred his voice with Christine's...or were you reacting to the part about LB preferring Chris over Stevie musically? Yeah, I made a lot of blasphemous statements didn't I? Dang.

I know. I just re-read my post as well and I sound a little bitchy towards Stevie. Ok, let me clarify: I do prefer LB/CM's musical creations and harmonies and think they complimented one another perfectly, but I don't think they had anywhere near the depth, relationship-wise, that LB and SN had, possibly still have in so many ways.

So don't throw me out of the LB/SN bubble, but call me a little more of a pragmatist in that whole shipper area.

LOL about the bubble...

Well, I dig Christine's harmonies and I really like her songs. However, I find her voice to be a little too refined for SnL's sound. Overall, though, it worked so well because it was such an interesting contrast.

I disagree that Lindsey preferred Christine musically to Stevie. I don't think he thinks of them in those terms. In other words, I don't think he's ever dismissed Stevie musically; rather I think Lindsey has a tendency to appreciate what everyone brings to the proverbial musical table - as long as he remains the Master Chef. Honestly, I could see where Chris may have been more likely to tell him his soufflé had fallen rather than send her compliments to the chef - which would probably send him storming out of the kitchen....

(What is up with the cooking analogies?? I must be hungry!)

I didn't really mean it as a slight against Stevie, but moreso to highlight the affinity Lindsey has expressed for Christine's pop sensibility which is what I probably should have said. Lindsey stated in an interview, which I have to find and should post, that he always felt a bond with Chris because they were both musicians and had the pop thing going. I think he does like Stevie's songs, but because her style is so different from his own he has to reach further to grasp it and probably wouldn't be as apt to understand it as he is of music that he has a connection with. I know Lindsey is more a music/melody sort of songwriter and Stevie is more a lyrical/poetic type. Now obviously they both have very notable strengths in the vice versa, but on a whole that is more the niche they have settled into at this point.

And that's basically why I felt he was probably more connected to Christine's style of songwriting. Actually, he probably said this in some interview because I don't think I could ascertain something so complex without at least reading something that kinda-sorta backed up what I said/meant.

But I have nothing. And I haven't really been expressing what I mean so well this past day or so...lol! I think I need a little more sleep.

I think that sums it up really well. There's definitely a closeness there but more musically than anything else.
