Is Bekka the best female vocalist of Fleetwood Mac?

[FierySequences]

This is an old thread (but no biggie). I saw the "choices" and the answer is a clear "No"!

CM was the first and best!

followed by SN, although (I love Bekka) if she were given "Time" to flourish and represent within the band, SN may have had a run for her money!

(Yeah, I said it!)

I remember this poll when it first was done. I believe it was in response to a poll somebody had posted on the Rumours forum asking who's the best female Mac singer - Christine or Stevie. The poster was (I believe unaware) of Bekka, and nonetheless was slammed by Ledgies for that omission.

Awe, the memories....

As the person who created this poll, I guess I don't need to point out that it was done more tongue in cheek than anything else. Although it is well worth remembering that while she might not have had the success of the other two ladies, technically she probably is the better singer

I know this is merely a poll for fun, but Bekka has got really stong pipes. She is just not showing any of them on the "Time" album, well, maybe on "Nothing Without You". This is her best song with the band. On record, she peaked on the "Bekka & Billy" album and it's a shame she has not put out more recordings of her own. She is in the same league of singers as Joss Stone for sure.

However, I must say that from the Fleetwood Mac camp, I prefer Christine's voice over Bekka's. But I also love the Lola Thomas album so what do I know about shawls and incense? ;-) For completeness sake, I must say something positive on here about Stevie, too: I feel she is stronger as a songwriter than as a vocalist, but nobody else can sing her songs the way she does them.
