Why female backing vocalists?

Plus, Carlos, Brett and other guys have mics at her concerts

Exactly. So yes, even though there aren't men she introduces as her backing vocalists, there still in there in some capacity.

Comments anyone?

We agree completely.

I can't stand those back-up singers and could care less how long they've been around, they're awful.

Well....this is going to make me seem like the biggest nerd on Earth BUT...for the greater good of the thread, here goes....

Bella Donna - Henley does backing vocals on The Highwayman and of course, they duet on Leather and Lace

The Wild Heart - Petty is the only guy with vocals on the album in I Will Run To You

Rock A Little - I Can't Wait, Sister Honey, The Nightmare, If I Were You... all have male backing vocals (Rick Nowels and some other guy)

OSOTM - Bruce Hornsby appears on Juliet

Street Angel - David Crosby appears on Street Angel and there are some guys on Destiny

TISL - Rick Nowels is on I Miss You

Da da.

Ding!

Does it help if I say I like Lori's voice...just not on Stevie's music?

Nope!

The only song I can think of where I hear backing vocals from a guy - not a famous duet partner, but just some backing dude - is on Real Tears, and man those are some creepy assed sounding vocals. Don't know who is responsible, but I suspected Rupert Hine.

For the record. I like the girls just fine on most songs. I really liked Marilyn Martin. But, at Irvine, I though Jana's mike was too loud and she was a little shrill.
