Sweetie Belle doesn't have stage fright. Her problem seems to be that singing was this cute thing she did when she was little, and the adults fussed over her because of it, and she eventually just sort of soured on it. As long as she associates singing with being treated like a child, she's not going to see it as something to do as a grown pony.

I didn't mention her family specifically. Claire's delivery of the line "why does everypony always expect me to sing" is resentful, not frightened. She's not afraid of getting on stage, and she's certainly not afraid of embarrassing herself, but she doesn't want to sing.
Sweetie Belle: Was it that bad?
Cheerilee: Back on stage, girls. It's time for the awards.
Sweetie Belle: Back on stage? No.\
Apple Bloom: They'll just laugh some more.
Scootaloo: Yeah, what's the point?
Wonkadoo wrote:Sweetie Belle has never let a lack of confidence in her ability prevent her from charging headlong into whatever damn-fool thing she takes it into her head to do, and I don't see her doing it here.
She doesn't, for whatever reason, want a cutie mark in singing. And as long as she doesn't want one, she won't get one.

In fact, The Show Stoppers makes no sense if Sweetie is suffering from stage fright. The point of the episode is that all three of them are ignoring talents that they already have and chasing after ones that they imagine would be better. Apple Bloom isn't afraid of building nor Scootaloo afraid of dancing; if Sweetie Belle is afraid of singing the episode loses its symmetry and its moral becomes nonsensical.

They all seem to get along, and there's potential in the hilariously adorable storyline.

You know, that's going on my wishlist for Season 5 now. I definitely think that the CMC and Spike relate to each other so well and am hoping to see whatever else they come up with.

The camera could follow pony to pony across the town going from one to another as they did their daily stuff following around Lyra and Derpy and the cakes and who ever else they might interact with.
