Feeling some sympathy for Stevie

I think the fact she's been singing gawd-awful cover songs during all of this excessive touring this past decade is further evidence of insecurity. Why isn't she dragging out some of her lesser known songs? Instead she just continues to beat Rhiannon, Dreams, Edge, et al into the ground and sprinkles in cover songs to keep things fresh. WTH Stevie? She should know that her fans are rabid for the rarities... hence their fascination with her unreleased demos. I remember during my Enchanted show, even my Mom (who isn't a Stevie fan) thought the best songs of the concert were Stevie's "trio" : Garbo, Rose Garden, Sleeping Angel. My Mother just thought it was a really artistically cool thing of Stevie to do.

Those who think I'm spouting off BS about Stevie being insecure, just watch the video from her visiting the Glee set. She's a nervous, insecure wreck there... bless her heart. And just look at the video... she's worn the same street clothes for a decade. And she's worn the same stage dresses for over a decade. She's terribly insecure, or else she'd mix things up some!
