Actually I prefer Elaine Causwel's original version of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now." I find it to be much superior to Celine's. As far as "Read Em' And Weep" goes, the producers and Barry Mannilow wanted Jim to write a new song for him, instead Jimmy gave him "Read Em' And Weep." Comparing the two versions, Meat Loaf owns this song and his is far more sexually explicit if you listen closely to the lyrics. The great thing, or atleast one of the many great things about Jimmy's unbelievable talent is that he's able to put sexual lines in love songs and most of the time the line goes over the audiences head, most notably in "For Crying Out Loud", "can't you see my faded levi's bursting apart!"
