Am I the only one that is bothered by...?

[TsnFan4Ever]

I went to Stevie's shows in Los Angeles and San Diego and thought her singing and the entire production was the best she's ever done. Maybe she isn't able to hit the high notes anymore but considering her age (most performers can't hit those notes anymore in their 60's) and the vocal problems she's had, I think her voice is stronger than it's been in many years.

I also love her story-telling. It gives so much more depth to the music and it's unfortunate that some of you don't like it. Most singer-songwriters don't share that much about themselves. The first time I remember Stevie sharing this much about her life and work was at her performance for Cal State Fullerton's Front and Center Program at Honda Center several years ago. Since then, she's added more stories to her solo tour and this year she's talking much more. It seems like she's trying to pass on her knowledge to the younger people who are coming to see her who don't know her history, as well as those of us who have been faithfully following her since the 70's.

If you don't like Stevie, her stories or her singing, I honestly don't understand why you even go to her shows or post messages on this MB. If you don't like her, please go see someone you do enjoy so that this thread can be positive again.
