Saying 'over' feels a bit too permanent for me, but in my eyes, she has lost quite a bit of what I thought was so special about her. It's hard to say it without sounding harsh but, for lack of a better word, I think she's lost some of her class. I always thought Stevie was a bit of a weirdo and obsessed with herself but she used to go about it in a more elegant way. I used to love reading all the things she'd say about her life and her songs because she had a way of talking about it that was special. In recent years I feel she's lost that quality. Maybe it's just from getting old but now, most of the time I read/hear what she has to say, she just sounds so utterly detached from reality lol. Like she really lives in a bubble where she is the center of the universe and no one will ever tell her otherwise. That doesn't mean I can't still appreciate the highlights of her life and career and her overall story as a survivor of addiction and a tough industry.
