Well, people are always going to say that about her and any female celebrity who isn't 98 pounds. It's ingrained in our culture and subconscious.

Stevie looks fantastic for 58, and is still quite sexy.

She looks like a pissed off, down and dirty rocker for most of it. Well, that's relative to regular modern day Stevie anyway. It's all in the stance.

She's hitting hitting notes in unexpected places, seemingly performing for her own pleasure rather than putting on a smile-time-happy-good-times act for the crowd, and there's something about the way she says "away from you" after the bridge.

I thought it was great, much better than ANY non-Live in Boston/Today Show performances from the last eight years.

I disagree....in part.....I think she'd look fantastic and sexy for a woman in her thirties

She's smokin' hot, and I'm sure she gave a lot of the red blooded American males in the audience a "little rise"!

I agree I thought it was a good performance. I didn't hear the flaws others are talking about.

Not the best performance of "Stand Back" I've ever seen, but it's hard to top Live in Boston. The July 10, 2005 Nissan Pavilion version played it safe vocally, but she was REALLY into it from the physical standpoint.

I guess considering the high humidity, she did pretty well.

After watching it a few more times ,vocally I'm hard pressed to come up with a worse rendition of Stand Back and that includes the Klonopin years.I'm really hoping it is something to do with the mic because if her voice really has deteriorated that much it is really upsetting.

This is what she sounds like now for years..I heard no difference.

I thought she looked and sounded great. My in-laws almost didn't believe me when I told them how old she was. Thank God for Stevie too - did you see the REST of the pregame show? Especially the Cirque De Soliel part?? - that was HOORRRIBLE!!

I have a feeling she just had an off-day yesterday. For whatever reason. Humidity. Jet lag. Nerves. Allergies (mold season?). Bronchitis acting up? Illness? Vocal mix (which was very, very dry). I also think it could have partly been related to the altered/shortened arrangement and being careful not to screw up. And with all of those lights and cameras buzzing around in the air, it was probably very, very distracting, making it very difficult to concentrate on her vocals. Also, if her ear monitors were too quiet, she may have felt the need to belt out each line even harder Suffice it to say, she was totally outside of her comfort zone yesterday. Okay, enough excuses for Mama!

Still, I was so surprised to hear her sounding so "off" yesterday, especially since she was singing like a bird in December.

And SB over the years has kind of morphed into this three-note scream-fest. I wish she would follow the melody of the original recording more faithfully, slow down the tempo, and stop yelling out the lyrics.

I saw part of it. I am actually quite an admirer of Romero Britto's art, so I was expecting some beautiful "artwork come to life" sets. Instead, it was just a bunch of guys wearing these ugly baggy boardshorts with Britto graphics with a white tank top. Muy creative!!
