Help! I can't figure out this $@#!! De-Esser! (Do I need to?)

I have three mixes that are all done and ready to take to mastering...I think.

I tried pretty much everything to de-ess the lead vocal: several different de-esser plug-ins, automating track volume, destructively editing the waveform, automating eq...

Nothing seemed to do anything but give the singer a prominent lisp. So I'm thinking about just skipping the de-essing step completely. I don't think any of the lead vocal esses in these tracks enter rip-your-head-off territory, but what do I know? I've been listening to these tracks for months, and my brain has turned to mush.

What do you think? If anyone could check these out and let me know whether these are ready for the mastering guy, I'd be very grateful.

Like I said there are 3 tracks, but the first one is the one I'm most worried about:

CW-FinalMix3.5.08Gabrielize.mp3

HH Whole Mix #6 3.4.08.mp3

LC Final Mix 3.4.08.mp3

Thanks for checking these out!
