Is Patti underrated?
 

An interesting article about underrated singers:

not by anyone on this site! lol

Patty underrated? NO

(IMHO) She is the only female lead that matches Meat for the power, intensity and quality of voice. Others have been good but Patti sets a bar so high I dont think it will ever be matched.

On top of that she is an accomplished solo artist

I actually think Patti is better than Meat and has been for many years.

I agree. Could be a reason why she doesn't get to open for Meat :shrug:

... anymore. She did in 2002.

I think she is underrated.

Don't agree with that at all, just my opinion.
I do think Patti is amazing and am glad that she is performing with Meat.

:twisted: I don't think that's quite fair to say.

Patti is a fantastic singer and a real asset to the NLE, and I don't think Meat would be so petty as to try and hold her back because he feels threatened by her.If that were the case she wouldn't be in the band right now.
I believe Meat would wish her only success.

Perhaps Patti hasn't done any opening because she has got no album to sell, and that really is a bloody shame as there are a lot of folks who want it.
Also, perhaps it's not always up to Meat who opens for him.That would be down to the tour manager I imagine.

I don't think Patti is under appreciated by the Meat Loaf community or anyone else who knows her work (I think it's a bit weird having this thread on the back of one persons comments on a blog :wtf: ) but I think it's a shame she is not wider known.

Patti has opened for Meat in the past, she's been credited on singles and albums, she's been given her own song half way through the show (and what other female lead ever gets to do that? ) but still no CD being produced for sale.

Is she under appreciated?
No way.

Does she need better management?
HELL YEAH!

She is underrated, imo. There'd be no need to locate that in her partnership with Meat because she is an awesome artist in her own right, but I can't help but acknowledge that the way she made Meat's shows shine brighter (and the humble way she did that) in the past -and in the future- is beyond compare

I would definitely agree with that...it seems like there's been many times when it looked like she would break out; Notre dame de paris and we will rock you, but for reasons unknown to us it hasn't happened.

I want her to do an album before she pasts her prime.

Shes been in her prime forever. But one day her voice will indeed change.

I second that. Her voice and stage presence equal that of more known female performers. I guess no one who has ever heard her sing would deny that she's brilliant. She's not underrated, she's just not known to the general public (unfortunately).

Except for you maybe.:lol:

You just said i was better then Patti Russo.... :lol:

When did you have the operation?:D

I think she's exactly where she want's to be in her career and I don't think she's underrated at all.

Meat has said on a few interviews that she is a better singer than him.

I don't. I'm not saying she's not enjoying what she's doing, but she has bills to pay like everyone else.

But shes still a very wealthy woman....

Some people don't want to be the headline act - perhaps she's one of those? She certainly deserves to be, but it takes a huge amount of drive and determination to get there, and perhaps she's happy where she is at.
She is very highly valued by Meat, by Queen, and by others like Cher. When she is performing with them she doesn't have to worry about creating the show, advertising it, what % seats are sold etc etc - she just picks up her pay check and gets flown all around the world at someone else's expense - perhaps thats enough? I certainly wouldn't complain at that!
What I am sure of though is that unless she comes on here and tells us then we will never know!

Pudding, Sometimes you are an idiot. Patti and I love each other and she is where she wants to be or she would not be here. That was just a really stupid comment ! Do you just do this because you are mean or is it fun to cause a fuss. Get me to react. If so , good job. You are a very very bad boy. I'm going to have to slap you in the head in Christ Church ! HARD !!!!!

YES PATTI IS I HAVE SAID IS BETTER AND I BELIEVE THAT. BUT WATCH OUT BECAUSE I'M KEEPING UP WITH HER. I HATE FOR YOU TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL. BUT THEN AGAIN YOU DO THAT ALL BY YOURSELF !! I THINK THE WHOLE BAND IS BETTER THAN ME . BUT THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN CONTROL AND STAGE AND A WHOLE BUILDING LIKE I CAN ANYMORE. NO ONE OUT THERE. THAT IS NOT EGO THAT'S THE TRUTH. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COULD BUT THEY ARE LAZY ! DON'T COME BACKSTAGE, I WILL EAT YOU ALIVE DUDE NOT JUST HIT YOU HARD. DON'T COME BACK STAGE . I WILL EAT YOUR ARM , YOUR LEG AND BOTH EARS FOR A FINAL SNACK. YOU MUST BE ABOUT 5'2''

THE 5'2" WAS AN INSULT , IN CASE YOU COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT :-)

Was it not in the Meat Loaf: behind the music TV programme (1998 ) when she said "If Meat calls me and says we are doing a show, I'm there!" ?

She's always been great with Meat since 1993. The underrated bit I don't get. It's the same as with the Steinman thing. The more Meat seems to credit others, the more some people seem to whine about it. I've personally actually never seen writers or backup singers or bands get as much credit as with Meat in fact. Look at album covers, tour books, what is said on stage and how often has Meat stated stuff about how good the band is on this board? (like every 3rd to 4th post or so).

Should Patti go out and do her own thing (too), maybe but surely only if she really wants to. The rest of Meat's current band line up is just as spectacular imo; Justin.

I do love when Meat comes here post-good show! :lol:

Patti is, in my opinion, the best female vocalist I have ever seen and probably will ever see. I could go on and on but there's just not enough words I can think of to give that woman enough credit...and I think how we all feel about her was evident in the reactions to her leaving and returning. Love her!

On a side note, I thought Patti did open for Meat on the 2002 Route Of Kings tour, as did Kasim...?

First of all Christchurch is one word ;) and I could do with a good head slapping :))

The comment wasn't stupid at all, your interpretation of it is kinda twisting what I'm saying. Your mutual love for each was never in question. Patti has written some fantastic songs, I'm sure she'd like to perform them in front of an audience. She's been on stage a few times in musical theatre, perhaps that's what she'd like to do again.

Truth of the matter is. Is she completely happy just being the lead female for Meat Loaf until whenever? or would she like to be the lead singer for herself?
