Be honest. Don't do anything phony. There is so much crap floating around. There is plenty of room for a bit of honest writing.”. Stevie write and sing honest music, but how can she fight against all the contrived, noisy and often meaningless songs that radio and tv stations feed us today? There's a complete fall style that reflects our society, so, in order to have fame and make money, today's artists adapt themselves and eventually all the songs sound alike. If you want to stay true to yourself, these are the disadvantages you will face. She doesn't need to change the way she write or sings to please her fans though, she shouldn't forget that there's still plenty of people who love good music and love her, so at this point of her career she shouldn't care anymore about poor sales: if you survived to 40 years of musical changes and you still sell 300,000 records worldwide in this age of decay, well... it means you are still way better than any anonymous and untalented singer that released a big hit but will disappears in just 1 or 2 years. Therefore, poor sales are more than welcome!

I agree on the crap that is produced today.It seems like most of the kids I know like the older music .then the current tunes.
Most are Autotuned since they cant sing for crap.
Stevie probably agrees with that but cant say it out in public.
I know a couple of older country music artists made statements that todays country music is not country music which I agree with them.
