WHAT IS THIS LIST???
I'm sure you've only included a few of these (like Celine and Tina Turner) cause they've done Steinman songs in the past...
But this list makes no sense - notto mention crap Bt I'll leave my opinio out of it and just deal with facts. The only one that is fractionally more likely than rediculous is Bonnie Tyler.
Just cause Cher did Dead Ringer with him doe snot put Meat in the habit of singing with big name chicks with a solo career of their own. It happens very rarely, actually. And jimj Steinman was not involved in the production of Dead Ringer - and he certainly isn't likely to fly in some big name to do a Bat Three duet.
I would like to hear Patti do it... but she is not the only one I'd like to ehar do it. It is really hard to tell if she will - I am sure she will be on the album for backiong vocals and the like - but the lead duet? Maybe, maybe not. The Goff sisters didn't do Bat Two... and no chick other than Patti has ever lasted more than one album on lead female vocal...
I think a much more realistic list is:
- Patti Russo
- Elaine Caswell
- Ellen Foley (not out of the question I'd have to say)
- Bonnie Tyler
And I know you said that you think that it will be Patti and that this is just a list of people you might find interesting... but when I read your list I was dumbstruck!! Celine Dion? MARIA CAREY??? What are you thinking??

P.S I would actually prefer Elaine to do the duet over Patti - with Patti doing a lot of backing vocals with Todd and Kasim and Rory. This is assuming there'll only be one, of course.
