Nice try- She says "Drowndin IN a see of love"

Not Drowned in, there is definitely a separate IN.

I even have a Wild Heart bottleg in which after she says DROWNDED, she says "SEE, I SAID IT!"

Really? That's awesome! Is there anywhere I could DL this?

Personally, I've always found the "drowndin" cute, and I do agree that she has a minor speech impediment that was never corrected. I'm almost glad it wasn't though, because it adds to her charms!

That's fine if that's what you hear. I'll interpret it my own way.

Actually...I've heard this comment for years now from quite a few people...and I have to say that I still honestly don't know what you guys are hearing...I totally hear drowNing...all I can see is that the echoey tone (don't know how else to describe it) that was added to the beginning makes some people here it with the "D"....but I honestly think she's saying it the right way. Just my humble opinion.

I don't think you do what? But it sounds good, so who cares?

See. Some people get it and some people don't. That's what separates the chiffonheads from the merely casual Stevie fan.

Indeed. What's a little syntax/grammar problem among genius????

LOL...well then I must be a card-carrying chiffonhead b/c I don't even hear the "D".

There you go.

As long as were on the subject, I've always had a nice snicker over the line in No Spoken Word:

"What was it she wanted? They say she had-ed everything..."

Or is it:

"They say she had it. Everything..."

There are times when doing this song live that she sang "They say she had it." and she leaves it at that, but.... This is something I've always wondered about.

Didn't Stevie say that Robin was working as her speech therapist when she was on the road with her?

In interviews, I've noticed her speech style is a bit choppy, but I love it. She does pronounce certain words more correctly than what I usually hear (like to-morrow instead of tah-morrow and I've noticed she doesn't use a lot of contractions). It's almost like maybe she's consciously trying to use correct English when she's speaking. Just my thoughts...I'm still a relative newbie fan of Stevie's.

What I can't stand is when Sheryl Crow was giving Stevie the Blockbuster Award (I think?) and Sheryl kept pronouncing "hero" as "hee-row." Maybe that's the right way to say it, but it drove me nuts!!

This is funny because when I sing along to her in the car, sometimes I sing that line, "Well, I don't think you would!"

That drives me crazy. It doesn't make sense. LOL. And I wish she'd stop saying "Mick says Stevie, it's just one more link in the chain....." It's old. But most of the time I love how she speaks. I always have to laugh at the 70's lingo she still uses. She's just so freakin' cute.
