Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they were there, but I just think maybe Stevie demanded that if she was to do this she would get this amount of money AND get her guitarist and her own backup singer.

Waddy was there because he is the leader of Stevie's band, and given the time constraints to rehearse the song, it made sense that he come on board to teach the band members their parts on "Rhiannon." Similarly, Sharon is the one who does the b/u vocal arrangements, so she probably worked with the vocalists.

I am inclined to believe that Stevie kinda did this for her ego- to be up there singing with the most popular singer-songwriter in the country today. It could be as simple as that. I suspect that Vanessa Carlton must have been sulking in a fetal position last night.
