Yup. And as usual, I agreed with everything you posted.

I put 5 stars for this one. I grew up with the Rock a Little video and this song never bored me. I have always liked the vocals. And to finally get to see the song live this year was great. I love it.

Hi, this is my first post - i alway skipped b&b until I heard the vegas version this year - she does the song so much more justice now, i am starting to appreciate the original version more - but live it is incredible

Hi and welcome Forgotten Chimp! I agree about the live version of BATB we heard this year. I already liked a lot the song but the way she sung it in Vegas made it the catalyzer of new and much deeper emotions for me.

And that would be me! Yeah, see, I really thought the other forgotten_chimp was a troll like myself but it looks like he or she is a real person. Can't say the same for myself. Well, I mean, I'm a real person typing but...never mind. I'm confusing myself with this.

EDIT: And about "Beauty and the Beast." I was really touched by it initially but I think I've just gotten tired of it. I think it's probably my least favorite song on WH, but that's not really an insult because WH is such a great album.

Awww look at the dog in your avatar! (The Yorkie, not Stevie ) I have one just like it but cuter. I wonder if that's Salamuth or Sara Bella Donna.

Does anyone else think BATB is the most beautiful ballad of all time or is that taking it a bit far? (and I'm obvsiously slightly biased since it's a Stevie song)

I have even more of an appriciation for this song after Vegas and the gold dust tour. I'd never seen it live before, and the video they showed on the screen, coupled with Stevie's dress she wore and how much she put into it made me love it all the more!!!!

Yes, you have to watch the movie. I just got it and I'm glad I finally got to see it. After seeing the live performance in Vegas I am also a convert. But it was not always on my list of songs on WH to listen to. I would skip it. I also did not like the excessive vibrato and other strange vocalizations on it. But I get the song now and I think she sings it much better these days. I was in awe of it in Vegas, I just couldn't believe it. Especially with the imagery and all. I know Stevie is melodramatic but I believed every bit of that performance even still. It was not affected, it was something from deep within her being expressed.

A funny anecdote about the movie. My roommate saw the DVD on the table and thought, "Oh, Stevie was in Beauty and the Beast?" The image on the front looked like Stevie to her.
