With strong songwriters, I just think its sacrilege to have a song voted "favorite" that they didn't write.
However, I make an exception for SBS, because it's so evocative and special. Some people, however, may make it an early casualty, because it's not Stevie's. It may be easier to let go than one of hers.

I understand your point. But I don't think it's sacrilege. If you like a song, you like it. That's all it's meant to do and be. If someone really makes a song their own, that can be as powerful as writing it themselves. Didn't Bob Dylan like Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower more than his own?
