Am I the only one that is bothered by...?

Respectfully, we obviously have differing viewpoints on what constitutes artistic integrity. I concede that the first show of the 24KG Tour offered some promise in terms of an alternate set-list but at this point (as expected) it's already become stale. Stevie has a habit of driving everything into the ground and consequently, any initial attraction is diminished within no time. However, quite apart from that, it is my opinion that she is no longer capable of performing live. Age and apathy have simply taken their toll. She no longer has 'it'. She's dull, listless and boring. There's no shame in that if you have the good sense to recognise it and make a hasty retreat but this stubborn old buzzard is lacking when it comes to introspection or insight.
As for the "motivational pep talks", once again, we will have to agree to disagree. Condescending and cringe-worthy just about sums it up for me. This absurd, rehearsed gibbering actually makes me physically ill. She's an embarrassment to the band and the music industry. I just wish she'd slide under a rock and never be heard from again.
