That
is the thing, isn't it? She's at once strong and vulnerable. Which has always been a compelling combination to me, too.
With most artists, you usually get one or the other. They either exhibit little strength or little vulnerability.
To me, Stevie's always seemed tough-as-nails when she needs to be, and yet never afraid to be vulnerable and fragile at other times.
In other words, despite all the trappings of money and fame, she manages to come across in a very
human way. And her ability to be more than just a one-sided rock icon, adds to her sex-appeal. At least in my opinion.
