The guest vocals are rather rough on this album on the whole, but "The Boxer" has the worst of them by far. Putrid.

There were very few songs on this album that were not made significantly worse by being features, but this was by far the most egregious example. I was quite interested in hearing her interpretation of this song too. What an unpleasant surprise

Super pleasantly surprised “The Weight” made it this far. She absolutely nails that one.

The one mistake we made was letting "He Thinks I Still Care" make it that far. It sounds like she dug George Jones up after he died and put a mic in front of him. ETA: The top 4 is great tho. We have the correct duet still standing. "Lisa" is easily the best collab on the record. And the solo songs are all A+.

The guest vocals were pretty rough for sure throughout the album, but I did not find it to be so bad for The Boxer + I quite like the original "The Boxer" as a song, so I placed it high on my list.

Lol @ bboat11's rank. "The Weight" is great! Happy to see that my top 3 wound up being the top 3 here, albeit just in a slightly different order. That trio of songs is definitely a cut above the rest of the stuff on the record though, so no complaints here.

This was definitely not her strongest album due to some rough vocals of the duet partners, but pretty happy about this top 3. I'm Not Lisa is a pretty strong duet song, and I enjoyed the vocal of the song overall. Glad that The Weight took this one though, as not only do I really like the original version but also I enjoyed Deana's delivery on this song quite a lot. Thanks for hosting castle!

Gonna kick off the reveals for this album now, but only post the one reveal. Tomorrow evening I will post more!
I do feel that this song belongs at the bottom and I'm glad to see most everyone agreed.

This was the easy last place. So sleepy. I have no desire to ever revisit this one.
