Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're referring more to technique than anything -- and that may be where the difference of opinions is arising between you and Amber (well, at least in this situation), who is, I believe, referring to the more intuitive aspects of Stevie's singing.

Technique is important, true... but I think being an intuitive singer is equally important. Celine Dion has technique in spades, but I'd rather listen to voices such as Dylan's or Marianne Faithful's. Both are ravaged by time (and drugs and alcohol and whatever else), but endlessly more interesting to me than voices such as Celine's or Mariah's or, hell, Anne Murray's.
