Honest? Stevie? Melisma?? I wanna hear! When I think 'melisma' it's way in terms of, oh, Mariah Carey, older Whitney, Boys To Men and other bad white singers trying to sound black! But I think I'd like me some Stevie melisma. The closest I can think of her ever doing something like that vocally was an ending of 'Dreams' I liked, maybe last performed that way in the early 90s??
