I've always wondered if the biggest factor in Stevie's "limited" range is the fact that it seems that she likes to sit down while recording in the studio and rehearsing. It's well known amongst professional musicians that you have to stand to sing properly, in order to get full use from your diaphragm. To this day I wonder what "Destiny Rules" would sound like had she simply stood up for the final take. Maybe she did, but from the documentary it doesn't look like it.

There's no doubt - she doesn't have the range she used to, but I think certain environmental factors such as sitting during recording / rehearsing have enabled her to settle into a comfort zone a little prematurely.
