She makes up for it when she collapes on Lindsey at the end...
The reason it works (for me at least) is that in this version, unlike in most all others, Stevie has changed the person point-of-view in the last verse (wonder whether Lindsey tried to talk her out of it ala Thrown Down in Destiny Rules!).

So the people are now gathering around the audience not the singer. And since the audience consists of both men and women, sisters and brothers, it's as though the gathering people are saying "be my sister/brother of the moon, whichever applies to you." That's why her alternating between the two makes sense, at least to me.
