A DIFFERENT SINGER?| FIRST TIME HEARING Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies REACTION

[@neildonley9626]

Christine McVie played a bigger part in the band than most people realize. As a singer, songwriter, and sort of the glue that held the band together.

[@midnightrider1100]

Yes, and for years I didn't notice that little whispering vocals interlaced into the background that sounds so ethereal. You have to listen on good equipment to truly appreciate this song.

[@Jims_Camera_at_dawn]

RIP Christine. Hope they will view Don't Stop. Christine sings and is credited on writing. Greatly agree, Christine was THE secret weapon behind Fleetwood Mac's best music.

[@anthonylewis62]

I COULD NOT stand stevie knicks, her and that dress flippin and her witchcraft i always heard she was into, turned me off, too prissy for my taste,

[@MusicPlayingPeon]

They are amazingly talented. The magic in all of these hits is not lyrics or singing imo. Though everyone says so. The music is the common factor in all these hits. They knew how to construct a song. Lindsey is my favorite, but they were all gifted musicians. Those baselines are incredible and Mick may be my favorite drummer of all time.

‘Hold Me’ and ‘Everywhere’ are phenomenal!

R.I.P. Christine McVie. She's the unsung hero of Fleetwood Mac. In the last few hours since her death made the news, it's been pointed out that, while Stevie and Lindsey get the most attention, when it came time to putting out the band's greatest hits album, close to half of the songs on it were Christine songs. She's an underrated, but an amazing singer, songwriter, and performer. You really need to check out her song "Songbird." Will make you cry in a really good way.

[@stevenclarke5606]

[@jonathanmoon86]

Songbird is really her best😢

[@otisroseboro5613]

[@Stoney_Snark]

Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks are both great singers, but Christine is an amazing writer and musician as well! “You Make Lovin’ Fun” is another great one, she also wrote the lyrics for “The Chain”, “Songbird”, “Don’t Stop”, and “Over My Head”. So you’ve heard he out front without knowing probably.

[@robertorojasbalarezo]

[@johnmacmillan5732]

Christine is awesome in every respect, BUT she didn't write the lyrics to "The Chain." Those belong primarily to Stevie. Christine wrote a section of the music for that song.

[@ChrisW-17]

If you listen to Stevie's demo version of the Chain, you'd never recognize it! The famous bass line and outro was from Christine's demo song Keep Me There. The way they morphed all these bits of songs together to create The final Chain is truly incredible. Makes me appreciate the song even more.

[@1972Wgray]

“You Make Lovin’ Fun” is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs ever.

[@DorkThink]

Christine wasn't just a chick playing keyboards in a rock band. She's a classically trained pianist and knows music theory. She's an integral part of the entire band. Or...she was. 😭 Please look into more Christine songs. She deserves as much attention as Stevie, just...in a different way. And Stevie harmonizing with Christine is ✨✨✨

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for giving us a Christine McVie- led song. She started as a blues player/singer in the late 60's before joining FMac. This is one of my favorite songs from Tango in the Night,1987. Her earlier songs (Say you Love Me, Songbird, Hold Me, for example) feature a lot more prominent piano, though they did adapt to the synth-heavy 80's quite successfully with this album. More please!

I think she was there at the beginning of Fleetwood Mac, whilst playing gigs with her old band I think I read of her singing uncredited backing vocals on tracks from the first FM album. I think she's been credited on every album since and as a full member since 1970ish. Until her semi retirement.

[@roy19491]

Christine was a dynamic force in the band....we'll miss her

[@jasonsprecher5118]

Christie does a lot of background and is part of the harmonies in alot of the songs where she isn’t lead or co-lead.People sometimes don’t notice at first. The 3 lead singers makes Fleetwood Mac unique and special.

[@mhatfield3488]

Christine was the backbone of FM. She wrote, she sang, she provided backup & she was glue keeping the band on course. She, along with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were known for & were amazing at their 3-part harmonies. On this song, Little Lies, during the chorus, you hear Stevie doing 2nd part and then Lindsey B doing 3rd part. Loving hearing them. This is another reason why FM is unforgettable. The 3 singers gave good songs each, then backed each other up vocally. And of course, Lindsey B came in later and did his magic to make the songs sound even better, production-wise. Love this group!

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Christine McVie was an important piece of Fleetwood Mac and sang quite a few of the hits. She was married to the bass player, John McVie, and they split around the same time as Buckingham and Nicks, fueling the breakup album Rumours.

[@Retroearthling]

she actually had the MOST top ten hits.

[@chrisford1116]

This band had three lead singers (Christine, Lindsey, and Stevie), all of which were also song writers. This is why they had such a diverse sound. For more Christine, try "You make Lovin' Fun" and "Over my Head." For more Lindsey try "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way" and "Big Love."

[@moobutt]

Everywhere and As Long As You Follow are my favorites of hers.

[@payleighsteele1540]

Over My Head is fantastic. Christine was a HUGE part of FM.

[@hankamania]

While Lindsey did sing a verse on Don't Stop, Christine wrote it by herself and sang the other half of the song. It's her song. :) And juxtaposing Don't Stop vs. Go Your Own Way shows a real contrast between his anger at his and Stevie's breakup, vs Christine's optimism (and lack of recriminations) moving on from her failed marriage to John

[@LadyDelynn]

The real magic of Fleetwood Mac was no matter who was singing lead it was going to sound stellar! No matter which one or combination of lead singers they had for a song, it is going to sound fantastic. The more of their songs you listen to the more you will understand that they always chose the best singer(s) for each song. They also wrote songs separately and with each other so there was always variety, different flavors if you will. Buying one of their new albums was always thrilling, you never knew what you were getting from one song to the next! The first song is a sweet love song with Christine and Lindsey in a duet, the second song is an etherial experience with Stevie twirling on stage, and the next song is a Summer rocker with Lindsey on lead. What is the forth song going to be? No idea, but it's going to sound great! Christine, Stevie, and Lindsey are one of the most solid arrangement of lead singers any band could wish for!

[@andrewgreen6429]

I’m glad you guys are recognising Chistine’s essential qualities within the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac. She was part of the songwriting trinity that comprised herself, Stevie and Lindsay. Never to be replaced nor forgotten, the band will never be the same again ❤😢

Stevie gets most of the attention, but Christine has written and was the lead singer on many of Fleetwood Mac's hits; and Lindsey Buckingham, the lead guitarist, also wrote and was the lead singer on some big hits and many of their greatest deep cuts. I love Stevie, but Fleetwood Mac is much more than just her. In fact, they were a moderately successful group before Stevie and Lindsey joined and took the band to superstar status. One of the band's best songs was made before they joined, called "Hypnotized," and it is magical.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Christine McVie was a member of Fleetwood Mac prior to Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joining. Her permission was required as the band wasn't sure they needed two female vocalists. Christine said in an interview that she had no problem with another girl in the band. That version of Fleetwood Mac just dominated the charts!

I have heard a lot of material from the early days of the band, magnificent musicians producing great work. When Stevie and Lindsey joined the band it elevated to something more. The way their voices just worked so well together and the differing directions of the songwriting talents was nothing short of miraculous. And their ability to step back from their emotional involvments for the Rumours album showed the music industry what proffessionalism truly means.

The three members that defined Fleetwood Mac with their compositions were Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and yes, Christine McVie, these three members of the band are those that finally gave the band the identity that made them famous; Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are the core as the almost original members, (John was not at the begging , but it was for a very short time, since he had to finish with the band he was playing with before), those that always were there, but Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie were those that, when they incorporated to the band, made it great.

Christine was married to John McVie the bass player. She was also the only one in the band that was classically trained. She wrote the majority of the bands songs. The band was so perfect because of the mixture of talent and their willingness to write about their real lives but not in a narrative but by picking out the sources of problems within the relationships, turning them into songs and being willing to gather back together and use their talents to make it some of the best music ever recorded.

Fleetwood Mac has (usually) had 3 singers at any given time. For this album, it was Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie. They usually have one singer singing lead (this time, Christine), but almost always, the others will usually sing backing or harmony vocals. Since Buckingham & Nicks first joined (back in 1975), their hit singles have averaged out about equal between Stevie & Christine, although their only #1 hit (Dreams) was by Stevie.

Lindsey's biggest hit singles with FM were Go Your Own Way & Big Love. Although he has some great album cuts (non-singles), such as World Turning, Never Going Back Again, Monday Morning, Blue Letter, Second Hand News, Tusk, (a killer live version of the band's pre-1975 hit, Oh Well), Tango in the Night, Bleed to Love Her & Peacekeeper. IMHO, Lindsey was the driving force behind FM. Even though most of their hits were not sung by him, his studio wizardry is all over their best music (again, not counting their very underrated pre-1975 music, when they were a very different band).

​@@screwyootube1 Yeah, there's a reason he's called FM's sonic architect; playing, arranging and producing he's responsible for their overall sound during his time with the band. He may have driven everyone crazy in the studio with his perfectionism and layers upon layers but it's a good portion of why the songs and albums have stood the test of time. Believe it or not Tusk was a top 10 single (and Rolling Stone named it the #1 song from 1979). It was always odd that few of his songs were released as singles - though many have become huge concert staples.

​@@caps689 Tusk is probably my favorite Lindsey song, with or without the Mac. As as I know it's the only song featuring an entire marching band to hit the charts.

[@screwyootube1]

@@caps689 yeah, I forgot to list it as one of his top 10 hit singles. Great, fun song! LOL, spell check changed “single” to “sirloin”!

Christine is my favorite singer actually from this band very underrated

[@DizJakeOG]

Their BEST Singer. So often overlooked!

[@TheAndy1268]

Christine died yesterday at 79. God I will miss listening to a new love song of hers every other year. She was able to say "I love you" in soooo many different wonderful ways.

[@talon5538]

Great choice you guys. A song with all 3 singers. Christine has a velvety quality to her voice

[@johnniekight1879]

This is the third version of FM. Originally England's most popular Blues band in the 60's. They wrote & recorded the original "Black Magic Woman". The second version Bob Welsh had joined and was a great songwriter. Christine was originally in Chicken Shack and her version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" is really something.

There was a reason why Stevie Nicks was somewhat absent from this 1987 Fleetwood Mac record 'Tango in the night' ... she was struggling w/ a bad drug addiction problem and was mostly M.I.A. from the sessions. Stevie did have a big single - 'Seven wonders' from this album, but most of the songs (and hits) came from Christine McVie and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham (who produced the record)... Christine had some high profile romances during the 80's that didn't end well, so I'm sure that was an inspiration... she also had the huge single 'Everywhere' from this album. The problem came afterwards, when Fleetwood Mac was preparing to tour in 1987... Already burned out from the recording sessions and having a huge record to support that year, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham announced he was quitting the band ('Tango in the night' was the last studio album by Fleetwood Mac to ever feature Stevie, Christine, Lindsey, Mick and John McVie) ... Of course, Stevie was enraged and got into a physical altercation w/ Lindsey (it was later revealed)... So, w/ Lindsey out, Fleetwood Mac toured w/ 2 new guitarists... but recording a new album without Lindsey Buckingham, writing or producing, in 1990 proved difficult. The next album 'Behind the mask' sold poorly for a Fleetwood Mac album...

[@kellyreiterman]

Yup. Too many people forget this.

[@ronstoner1823]

Every member of Fleetwood Mac had talents of their own. Together they were brilliant.

[@glassontherocks]

Christine has a mature mastered voice. Stevie and Christine compliment one another very well. Buckingham is the wild card that makes it all work. Christine was John MacVie's wife back in the day.

[@RMS1103]

Christine was a phenomenal musician/singer/songwriter. Check out Say You Love Me, Over My Head, Warm Ways, Isn't It Midnight, Songbird...

[@petercourtien4581]

“You Make Lovin’ Fun” is a masterpiece. Fleetwood Mac is way more than Stevie Nicks. Although I love Stevie too. You’ll learn!😊❤️

[@graciesmom1477]

I totally agree!

[@billyf2833]

I agree too

[@RMS1103]

I believe that the reason Fleetwood Mac was so great, is that they had 3 phenomenal Singer/Songwriters that totally complimented each other. Not to mention Mick and John. Good Show!

[@billybob23232389]

If you go back and look, most of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits had Christine as the lead vocal. The strength of this band was that Christine, Lyndsey, and Stevie all had different songs which featured them as the lead. Christine McVie had more of a shy British personality, was not as outspoken and did not seek the limelight like Stevie Nicks did. When performing, she was more comfortable standing behind the keyboard as opposed to Stevie who was doing more dancing. Christine was truly an underrated musician and will be greatly missed. RIP

[@deniseg812]

Songbird. Oh Daddy.

[@donjackson5522]

Christine’s songs are always my favorites. She has such an amazing subtlety and smoothness to her voice.

[@moonbeam2062]

If you guys react to more Fleetwood Mac you'll Find that Christine actually sings lead on several of the popular Fleetwood Mac hits. "You Make Loving Fun", "Say You Love Me", "Songbird" (which Eva Cassidy did a cover of), "Don't Stop", "Hold Me" & "World Turning" (She shares lead with Linsey Buckingham on those last three songs. They are a perfect match up in vocals imo!).

[@steveullrich7737]

Thanks, never appreciated all the great songs she was the main singer on; Stevie seems to get the most response by reactors especially her videos. Hopefully your list will help guide them and even up the responses.
