Elijah's way · 16 Sep 2010, 02:16

What are the chances of Meat asking her to do a concert with him? I mean after all she deserves it she didn't get anything for doing AFL. And I wish they would do another duet her voice really sounds good with Meat's.

Well she has used this as a bit of publicity as far as I know and she is still doing shows in the UK. She seems to be enjoying herself going by her FB updates and she has some gorgeous girls in the band.

Lorraine did audition for X Factor several years ago but like anyone over 25 on that show failed to make much of an impression.

It's maybe a harsh statement but I feel that Patti's voice has matured so much and is so very strong now that even thinking about bringing in another female singer is completely unnecessary at this stage.

A one off guest performance with Lorraine on AFL (perhaps when Meat is in Newcastle??? -hint -hint!!!) would be great though.

Elijah's way · 16 Sep 2010, 02:29

I love Patti as much as the next person but I can't help thinking that Lorraine Crosby was meant to sing with Meat Loaf. To me there even more a perfect match than him and Patti.

Shame he's not in the UK earlier for his tour, as the Children In Need appeal is on 19th November.

Lorraine does still perform with her band throughout the UK - sadly she has to do mostly covers rather than her own stuff as that is what 'pays the bills' - but she still enjoys it. She always does a few Meat Loaf songs in her set, including AFL.

Meat did bring in Lorraine once for AFL, but it was back in the 90's at Whitley Bay Ice Rink! It would be great to see that repeated but I think they would struggle to get together for rehearsals - and with Meat just being able to sing it is never enough - it has to be a performance.

LucyK! · 16 Sep 2010, 09:53

I would struggle if Lorraine did AFL live with Meat, not because it's Lorraine but I'm not sure how it would work to have Meat and **insert name here** doing the song while Patti was stood at the back, just wouldn't feel right

Lorraine Crosby was unlucky the same way Ellen Foley was. To be dropped for the music videos AFL, and Paradise was very sad, and it's all because of image. We live in a sad world....it must have upset them I'm sure. I honestly think they were both used. Lorraine got NOTHING for AFL which was daylight robbery.

Both had fantastic voices but lost a bit as they aged. It's good to see she's happy and busy fair play to her.

LucyK! · 16 Sep 2010, 13:47

How are we at the conclusion that she got "nothing" from AFL? Admittedly it maybe didn't launch her career as much as you'd expect or hope, but she will have been paid and has used it as brilliant promotion to launch herself as Mrs Loud...

Such a ridiculous childish statement.

LucyK! · 16 Sep 2010, 13:56

In fact I think Lorraine's new poster for her upcoming show tells you more than enough about what she got from AFL...

*AndyK* · 16 Sep 2010, 14:02

I could be wrong here but I seem to remember that she laid down her vocal to AFL as a demo or guide track and once Jim and Meat heard it they decided that they didn't want to seek out another female vocalist and stuck with what they had. I'd say it was the other way and that she was lucky!

daveake · 16 Sep 2010, 14:14

That's how I remember it.

A session musician usually signs some sort of waiver to say that the payment they receive for the recording in that particular session is for full and final payment so therefore if the complaint for Ms Crosby is that she 'only' received £25 (i think that was the amount she mentioned when on X Factor or the like) then that would've been the agreed amount at the time.

I agree that she has a great voice and that it is unfortunate that her tours result in her mostly doing covers, as can be found in many youtube videos, but you have to go where the money is.

But to say she got nothing for AFL and that it was daylight robbery is without foundation and ,as per a lot of your posts recently Steve, guesswork.

in fact, we've had this very conversation before, and Lorraine's husband Stuart came on here to set a few people straight. If I could remember the username he used, I'd search for the posts.

duke knooby · 16 Sep 2010, 15:31

that would be stuart1234 on the x factor thread around june 08 (ish)

and that wasn't an easy one to dig out... but, its the quoting from other threads i can't do

*AndyK* · 16 Sep 2010, 15:33
