I have faith the album will do reasonably well. Stevie is doing the right thing by staying in the public eye with her appearances on The Voice, which has the highest ratings of all other shows in that genre.
The notion that these songs are substandard because they never made it on an album is misguided. Artists often have a backlog of unreleased songs. They remain unreleased for various reasons unrelated to their quality.
It seems a lot of her backlog of unreleased songs are only rough demos, or works in progress, but were abandoned at some point. From what I hear, only a small amount were finished works slated for release, but then cut.
We already have access to all of her demos. It appears that a lot of them are not worthy of official release. It's quality control issue; you can't expect Stevie would want to release them in their inferior condition. Even with the demos and outakes she might consider officially releasing , I'm sure she would take them into a studio and tweak them.
