I'll try to get used to that!

I voted for Stevie because, like David, I just have to.

Yeah, it's a compulsion. It's deep-rooted.

Christine has the best in-studio voice, and has lost none of her range. She has trouble live when the sound is way up.

Stevie can sing live and in studio and makes the most of her diminished range.

Lindsey can't really sing anymore. He just sorta shouts and/or talks.

I couldn't have said it better. It's really too bad about Lindsey's voice. He could really get up there, when he was younger.

Christine really is amazing, that age only seemed to make her voice better. That's really unusual.

Especially considering her omnipresent drink and cigarette. Normally the combination of the two would destroy a singing voice.

I don't know how you can say that about someone who has not been heard from in almost a decade. The sixties is a precarious age, and Christine is almost 70 . I would be utterly shocked if she sounded exactly the same today as she did on ITM.

I think Lindsey can sing and live I think he has been singing pretty well for the last 5 years, (but recently better than ever). He doesn't have range though.

For all we know, she may not be able to sing at all at 69 yrs of age..

It somehow preserved her voice, because she really did get better w/ age..

I've voted Christine because although i prefer Stevie's solo stuff a little more Christine's Mac stuff is just beautiful and I feel a more emotional connection to her material. I also think she's a little underrated and she has a wicked very English sense of humour and lovely legs. LOL.

exactly. seems like people who haven't heard him recently are making some extrapolations from whenever they've heard him last. these rumors keep flying around a lot it seems, because i was completely shocked when i first heard him live in April.

Honestly, I wouldn't shocked. In fact, I'd be shocked if she hadn't sounded good. If she could make it to her early 60s sounding like she did on the White album, why not to the 70s?

I guess none of us will know for sure unless (until?) she puts an album out again.

Fair enough. But the voice that belted Blue Letter--and even Bleed to Love Her--is no more, and that saddens me.

I have his latest cd, which is great. Heard him live on the last FM tour in Rochester. Unless something miraculous has happened, I'm not thrilled with his voice live.
