Her voice is TOO confident now to deliver those songs properly, in my opinion. I just feel like it wouldn't work as well. She's MUCH better at conveying regret, anger, hope, etc. nowadays as opposed to the anxiety she expressed when she was younger, which required a more strained, squeaky type of voice. She used to meow, now she roars. It's very very different.
Though I pretty much agree with your entire post, this part was the best. I agree with it one hundred percent. I think if she did the re-recording's that people would be, at first, very excited, but then they'd listen to it and complain that it'd be missing that 'something' I've seen constantly talked about here. Honestly couldn't have explained my feelings towards re-recording as you had. Thank you! xD
