To this day I wonder what "Destiny Rules" would sound like had she simply stood up for the final take. Maybe she did, but from the documentary it doesn't look like it.

There's no doubt - she doesn't have the range she used to, but I think certain environmental factors such as sitting during recording / rehearsing have enabled her to settle into a comfort zone a little prematurely.

She was pretty moody and uninspired during these sessions, which was probably why these songs missed their potential.
