Christine is so buried in the mix in the back of the song. Do you want to know why? Her voice is SO gone and old ladyish (the choppers roll around in her mouth when she sings) that even studio tricks cannot hide it anymore.
Stevie's 2 note range has power, but sounds like someone stuffed all the missing toilet paper from the stores up her nose.
Even if LB came back I would not want them touring anymore. I'm not even sure if LB could pull off a studio recording where CM sounds passable. They really should sadly just retire, legacy badly damaged by the tambourine witch and the scarf $ man.

I think that they are done. If and when this covid pandemic slows down enough to even allow for that final cash grab farewell tour they will be too old and decrepit to pull it off if they aren't already. As far as recording new music you can stick a fork in that one too.

I agree. None of them have much voice left. It's become embarrassing at this point. Backup singers can only cover up so much. It's time for them to hang it up.

Granny Christine > No Christine

Wish came true with her return.

I agree. We got that BuckVie tour and she was on and off during that tour. I loved her in 2014 she was a little wobbly but not a disaster.
Her voice became much weaker in 2018. Stevie was also like nails on a chalk board in 2018. I had to cover my ears during Gypsy.

But, I got to see them and that was still a treat.

BuckVie was a dream come true. It could have only been better if Dick and John had played on tour.

A GREAT swan song for the band.

I did not miss $tevie at all. The show was sold out and while they really do have worn out tools to work with. the show was amazing.

Yes, besides that. They should have hired the "bad Stevie" from the Ho Hos to intermediately dance across the stage a few times

OMFG. I've never heard of them before. I LOVE it!

I love the tribute band Rumours ATL(their Stevie sounds ten times better than $tevie - AND it's only about $10!!!!), but I'd almost rather see the Ho Ho's!

Stupid Dick dancing around the stage with his African talking drum. This sh*t is hilarious! THANKS!

How sad to scour the internet to find ways to mock Stevie.
