Improv...endearing or annoying?

A good example of this is evident in her performance of the song How Still My Love, as shown on her DVD concert. The added repeated phrase of "should I say" was unexpected and simple, but very effective.

I'm a fan of the stuff she added to the end of Beautiful Child, that heartwrenching wail and then "I do love you, I still need you, I wish, I wish that you were mine."
