I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's necessarily the case here. Beautiful Child is a pretty song down to the way it's written, and indeed does sound beautiful in the lower register. I Don't Want To Know is kind of the upbeat, youthful type vibe as it's written. I just don't think she could pull it off with the lower voice. I'll go out on a limb and say that I think it would actually just highlight how "lethargic" the performances are becoming, really.

Take for instance the song Say You Will... I don't particularly care for that one, but it was kind of an opportunity for Stevie to be a little more upbeat with her singing during the show. But the way it was executed... it was really just kind of a drag. I can just imagine her using that same voice on IDWTK.. all monotone. The different inflections (is that the word i'm looking for?) and expressions in the original are what make I Don't Want To Know a good song, imo.
