Hmmm, I’m not sure why I dislike I Sing For the Things… it’s awfully slow, for one thing, and I really don’t like her vocal. When she’s singing in such a raw voice, it sounds to me like she’s croaking, which does the song no favors. It also reminds me of When I See You Again, another song I really dislike from Tango. It’s unfortunate that when Stevie finally added a deep cut on her last tour, she chose I Sing For the Things over virtually any other song from her catalogue. Doing the Best That I Can, Ooh My Love, If I Were You, Nothing Ever Changes, Think About It, good grief- ANY of those songs would have gone over better with the audience than I Sing For the Things!
