But I guess some people will find any excuse to trash Stevie: record sales, her appearance, her voice. Some even going so far as to insinuate that Stevie cancelled the NYC concert out of laziness and petulance, claiming Stevie really didn't have pneumonia, and that she's a liar and maybe just had the sniffles.

Rock on, Stevie! You looked and sounded incredible on Ellen!!!! I love you still!!!!

Agreed. And Secret Love is great live. She did what she could with it today and it turned out alright. atta girl. It was great that Ellen said she could have cancelled but she didnt. my thoughts also.
