Why was Stevie the breakout star?

If she was unhappy with "Smile At You" it's her own fault. Fans hate the SYW version because it's missing the venom of the original. Stevie's the one who wanted the song defanged. She said she didn't feel angry anymore so she didn't want the song to be angry anymore. Blame her not Lindsey. I also don't think it was Lindsey's idea to have a children's chorus on the song SYW. I'd bet my life Stevie wanted it. That's what ruins the song for me.
