Create a new keyboard intro, make a kick ass guitar solo that sounds similar but does it's own thing. That's how I feel about I Can't Wait. Totally rework the song on stage rather than try to replicate the record. It is a really hard song to sing, though. A lot of her songs are out of my range so I have to pitch the music down on the karaoke tracks but she did an amazing vocal on the original that it really difficult to do live. So I can see why she wouldn't want to do it now.
No one likes to do difficult things. The fact that she consistently shows us how much she doesn't like to difficult things and how she is now so set in her ways, is very telling. I believe it was a Rolling Stone writer, when reviewing 'Belladonna', who labeled Stevie as 'spoiled' or a 'princess'. Perhaps there is an ounce of truth, in that.
