I agree. But I would have been happy with just Bonnie. Sheryl doesn't have the right voice for this song.

Agree. Bonnie would have been perfect.

I agree. Just Bonnie would have been better. One of the reasons I think this is that, like Christine, Bonnie was a pioneering female musician/singer/songwriter who came out of a blues background. They really had a lot in common.

And neither were flashy or conceited. They just saw themselves as one of the guys. Though their songs are distinctly from a woman's perspective.

Yes, neither of them seem to have cared much about being a celebrity, crafting a persona for themselves, or making headlines for non-music-related gossip. They achieved legendary status simply by being the best at what they did, and stayed humble about it because they knew their work spoke for itself.

They acted human.

The only way it could have been better is if Bonnie sang the entire song and Steve Winwood had played piano.

That might give me a heart attack. He's an amazing keyboardist.

And then they performed “One in a Million”— a song Bonnie would kill.
