this is WORSE THEN WAGNER. Cause where Wagner was fun to watch at least and had the performance aspect down, this guy demolished this track to death last night:

Please take it away; my face is bleeding.

EDIT: I wonder if this is on Todd Rundgren's new album :twisted:

Didn't like him or his vocal but, and I'm getting ready to duck, I thought the remix was pretty good and cleverly done.

It wasn't good but it wasn't terrible

I know you'll hate me for it but I didn't think it was that bad actually. I hate X Factor though.

Guys, its a talent show the guy did his best, why critiscise him? Arent we all upset with what critiscism has done to Meat over the past few weeks. ?

Can't we learn tolerance and at least that everyone is human and has feelings?

As only my 4th post on this site , with my 2nd being critiscised wrongly, by several members that I had posted personal details on here, Had the time been taken to fully read my post All would have been clear. I would just like to point out before we speak, we should think about the consequences of our words.

Personally, I am happy if someone does a cover our an interpretation of one of Meat's songs, it just makes me go and dig out all my CD's and have a listen to the original, and just confirms to me that Meat is the Man!!



Cheers

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 :)

Not my taste but this was so much better than what the Wagner guy did. It's a complete different take on the song which you can like or not. But the guy did a remarkable job with it.

I agree with this take, it is much to bubble gum pop/dance type for my taste, but for what it was, it wasn't bad

Went in expecting it to be horrible and was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I don't think I'd ever listen to it myself, but it wasn't a bad interpretation of the song. By that I mean that while I defied everything that the original ever was musically, it apparently DOES work as a pop song too :P

I think the kid gave it a good shot and I liked the fact that he made his own mark on the performance and didn't try to copy Meat Loaf's style. It's not normally something I'd listen to but I wouldn't go as far as to say I hated it.
