See what I did there?

I know Whitney didn't write all her song. Yes, Dolly Parton's song, made famous by Whiteny, I suppose you are talking about. I didn't say that not writing you own songs = Not connecting. I said it is understandable. Now, you find a performance where Whitney performs IWALY (Sober) and says she doesn't feel it and has no soul.
Beyonce does NOT go with the flow. She doesn't do anything in the moment. Her performances/vocals are too rehearsed.
A perfect example for me is Natasha Bedingfield. She does whatever she likes on stage. Every performance is different from the other (even for the same song). Every adlib and variation is improvised and from her heart. Even if she makes mistakes (which is rarely) it is still an honest soulful one. Once Beyonce lets go, she will find her soul. If that makes sense.
