Her singing at the piano in the recent RS posts sound horrible to me as well.
I love her singing with an ensemble.
I look at someone like Joni Mitchell who wasn't trained in notes, chords or tunings.. She just picks up a guitar and naturally knows what she wants out of it. Not a lifetime of dedication or practice. Much like Lindsey, she's a natural. Stevie isn't.

You're right. Dedication and ambition has its limits when you don't have the intrinsic natural talent. It's fine that Stevie uses her limited instrumental skills to construct her songs, but when she goes public with them, she doesn't do herself any favors. But I admire her attempts.
Time makes her bolder.
