Plus, Stevie had a number one hit (POTU - dance remix - that is still played in clubs) and two minor hits (Everyday and Sorcerer).

So SYW might actually be even more ahead of TISL now, considering the holiday sales. But I guess Hayley would know more of this.

Furthermore I suppose the fact that it's LB and SN now brings in less people than it would if it was SN and CM in the band. So yeah, you got a point in there. But it still isn't the Rumours line-up for a lot of people and that shows in the album sales at least.

Yep, had CM (whom I LOVE) been there, I think SYW would have hot at least a million no problem if for nothing else than shem not SN or LB, usually produces the hits.

But not at solo concerts.

They were facts, doll. Even a half-full ampitheatre looks full capacity. She doesn't even sell half the whole venues at most shows when it comes to her solo ventures, even when the ticket prices are much lower than those of the Mac. They're facts, not a conspiracy to piss off Stevie fans by taking away more credence to their arguments.

Yes they were

No, I saw on some of the those shows that the box office itself said were sold out a report that only 60% or whatever was sold. So, someone is wrong.

So yeah, I can’t sleep and stay away. Help me, oh God.

Strand, my theory is that these days Stevie is basically a secondary version of FM to the public. The attendance during the Enchanted tour was lower than usual because it came right after The Dance. TISL tour drew bigger crowds because FM hadn’t been touring for a while.

Finally, let’s not forget that you’re still talking as Americans and while the USA is the best place for any bigger band to tour, there’s other places in the world you know. Stevie has never been a big thing in Europe as a solo act, not even the success of “Rooms On Fire” could establish her in the old world. The UK shows went well for FM, alright. But the four Germany shows weren’t that much, two of them were played to half-empty arenas and they had to cancel one of the planned five because not enough tickets were sold. I think Chris’ presence would have helped the band a lot more here; she always had the European hits anyway.

I respect Stevie’s goodwill anyway; she’s the one who wanted to bring TISL tour to Europe and probably wanted the European leg to happen all along. But in the parts of the world that are not USA, I think SYW has sold significantly more copies than TISL. I don’t have the numbers, so I’m just a-speculatin’.

Even if stevie's albums and shows sell half of what FM do and Lindsey's sell a fourth of what hers do - WHO CARES What matters is the music. I like their music (together or seperately) and they are successful enough to keep making it. Cant we all just get along?

I just don't understand, Cammie, why it always has to turn into a Stevie vs. Lindsey battle.

There are fans out there that love them both equally, apart and together. I am one of them and proud of that fact. And there's no way you're going to keep the "Lindsey adoration" off the Stevie board just as you're never going to keep the "Stevie adoration" off the Lindsey board.

I don't like MLD that much. I don't think it rocks like GYOW (the best song in terms of "rocking"). I even like more the guitar part of Isn't it Midnight.

And I far like more Bleed to love her. I didn't like Temporary One either. I was kind of dissapointed with this only Chris new material. I even thought she would bring better songs than Stevie, since in the last mac albums her songs were better than STevie's, from an overview.

But in The Dance I liked more Sweet Girl than Temporary One. Kind of surprising was this album, at least in terms of the new little material
