The whole, "this is a sisterhood" theme is actually a fallacy. I don't think that Stevie and Christine have had that kind of closeness since their condo days during the recording of one album. And I do think Stevie was monopolizing Christine a bit and prolonging the photo opps between them. I think Christine even thought it a bit much the way she quickly patted Stevie's hands when Stevie came up behind and hugged her.

I mean, Stevie is very genuine. I will never forget when Lindsey came onstage for Landslide during the BTM shows, obviously it was Stevie's time to shine with Lindsey in the spotlight, but she made it a point to acknowledge Christine over at the piano in the musical break during Landslide when she was not singing. Stevie made that reunion a threesome. So, Stevie is always going to be effusive over Christine and it's heartfelt enthusiasm, but last night I got the vibe that Lindsey felt it was exclusive and that Stevie kind of cornered Chris, making it less of a band reunion than a Christine/Stevie one.

Actually, I think a nervous Christine would have been much happier going to the piano and getting Don't Stop knocked out first and then embracing everyone afterwards, once those jitters were over.
