Then, after a year or two passed and she was no longer hot, her fanatics would still be rejoicing in these items while the rest of the world has moved on.

So, the masses are not going to take her from her fans, even if -- by some miracle --they borrow her for a little while.

I wouldn't say even 40 year old artists can't go mainstream, it is just that they usually don't. But sometimes there are those flukes, such as Cher, Madonna, and Susan Boyle (Yes, she was a new artist and shocked the world on TV, but 3.1 million in 2009, making it the number 2 album for the year is a lot for some random 49 year old woman from Scotland.)
I doubt Stevie is going to blow up the charts and have the top selling album of the year, but I do believe she could kick some ass and get some recognition by a lot of people. And if she is lucky, one of her singles may get a lot of radio play. However, you are exactly right with what you say about the masses not stealing her from us, but just borrowing her for a while.
