Chris has said that he didn't enjoy singing lead when he performed the two songs he wrote live. I think he enjoys singing backing vocals. Perhaps he and Matt playing off each other would be a bit one-sided, given that Matt has a more powerful voice and is a more powerful presence so he would just dominate such exchanges? I don't think that would be fair to Chris.

Yeah, but I think it may be an interesting dynamic. Roger Daltrey has a stronger voice then Townshend, but they used it to convey different emotions. It wouldn't be a sing off, because you're right, Matt has a more powerful voice.

I don't know enough of The Who's music to be aware of the sing-offs. I'll have to educate myself! Pete Townshend is a showman who would be well up for that but I'm not sure Chris is confident enough to be interested. It would have been nice to hear his reply to your question.
