Apparently not. And I agree with you. I don't like or watch X-Factor, but this lad doesn't strike me as being better or worse than most, and he wasn't trying to copy Meat, or give a ML inspired interpretation. He simply sang a song that was written by Jim Steinman. I guess some might be offended at a pop interpretation of a Steinman song, but as far as I'm aware these kids have limited input into the songs chosen and how they're to be performed.
He didn't attempt to perform a "track" .. he performed a song composed by Steinman. It wasn't great .. but it wasn't the worst thing ever done to Steinman in history. I shudder much more at really bad Meat tributes .. lol And I always think when someone sings a song Meat's recorded .. it may remind someone to dig out their CD and listen to it performed by a master :)
Oh, and welcome :) I had a moment's concern when I read the post you're referring to, then checked again and saw exactly what you'd posted and understood your intentions :)
