Paper Doll

[blinker12]

Back to Paper Doll, I just looked up the Wikipedia entry for the song, and apparently it made #9 in Canada??? Like #9 on the pop chart, not even adult contemporary. That kinda blows my mind if it’s true.

It got to #8 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 in the US.

I like the song, except for the lead vocal. Her voice sounds really blown out to me on this one.

Not only is the vocal subpar, to me it sounds very "tacked on", not integrated into the music, like it was recorded in a different time zone.

I also think it might sound a bit better with Christine singing the verses, Stevie singing the bridge, and everyone singing the chorus.

Now that's funny "recorded in a different time zone" But its funny because I know what you are saying. Paper Doll is ok but IMHO it always just seemed like a rushed recorded song to me. Hurry up, Stevie has a solo career going and just record something and slap it on the greatest hits package.

It’s interesting to me that people have mentioned Stevie’s vocals, but no one seems to mind the bizarre… I’m not sure what the word is… cartoon-like sound effects prevalent throughout the song that makes me think the video for Paper Doll could feature the Road Runner being chased by Wile E. Coyote.

Beep beep indeed!

Now I'm going to be picturing Road Runner whenever I hear Sugar Daddy.

Roadrunner and Sugar Daddy are way better songs.

Gonna have to agree with you on that one.
