My vote went to Storms, because it was one of the several songs during the Unleashed tour that made me cry when I heard it live.

Beautiful Child, I've become totally and utterly enthralled in it lately, it's such a magical (as cliché as that sounds) song. Hearing it live was just amazing.

She got pretty shouty (technical musical terms ahoy!) during Storms, but the few times she toned it down, it sounded so much better than I had expected. My vote goes for Beautiful Child.

I voted for Beautiful Child because of the consistency of the vocal- though I LOVED both!!!

I vote for Beautiful Child. I was surprised by the ending "I do, love you. I still, need you. I wish, I wish that you were mine" and even more surprised how much I loved it.

Storms was great too, but it lacked the light almost whispered quality of the album version. I wish she had sang it softer in concert.

This is easy for me. While Beautiful Child was awseome live, Storms just blew me away when I saw it. And its not like it was more of a shock to here Storms then BC. In 2003 Beautiful Child was just as unheard of as Storms was in 2009. But Storms met my expectaions 100 percent plus a lot. Beautiful Child didnt wow me live until the very end of the song.

Very - very! - tough choice, but I'll go for Storms. It felt so fresh and brand new when she did it live. I felt a certain viciousness and anger in her voice when she sang "never have I been a blue calm sea" which surprised me. (Did she sing "calm blue sea", or am I imagining that...?)

Storms, Like Beautiful child was sort of reworked to NOT be the ALBUM version. It fit her current voice, and i liked it. AND i ADORE Beautiful child live. Even more than the recorded version. BUT one of my ALL TIME favorite lines of Stevies ever is "Save us..Not all the prayers in the world..could save us.." wich on the record just fades off and is barley heard, and i loved hearing it repeated at the end with her singing the last one with Lindsey. I thought it was great.

I think Beautiful Child was better. Her singing on Beautiful Child was very consistent. Some performances of Storms sounded good but some were all over the place vocally.

I love "Storms." It is one of my favorite Mac songs, but I voted for "Beautiful Child," because to me it turned out better live.

Very tough question. I loved both songs from Tusk. I was so incredibly excited to hear them both live because I never thought it would happen. I loved both live - both incredible. I'd have to give the slight edge to Beautiful Child though.
