I liked seeing his generosity and graciousness, always a Meat hallmark, as he made a point of thanking and seeking the audience's recognition for each group of musicians who backed the performance.

Yes, a special performance, a special night :)

Caryl

Very well said Caryl, I agree. That's why we all love him so much.

I don't normally watch shows like Popstar to Operastar but when I heard that Meat Loaf would be performing Bat Out Of Hell I decided that it was definately something I'd have to watch.

It was well worth watching, the performance was fabulous and Meat sounded great.

evil nickname · 13 Feb 2010, 09:36

After just having seen the clip, while keeping in mind that I don't like opera at all, Bat just isn't a duet and I think all the bling has to go: that was not bad at all. I'd love to see do Meat a full show with this, ehm, orchestra and similar arrangements.

MeatLoafFanRay · 13 Feb 2010, 11:24

Well done Meat, The performance was great and your voice was on top form. I loved the way it came together in a different style. Meat are you planning to appear on anymore TV shows after Popstar to Operastar?

That was very very good!! Loved it :)

AndrewG · 13 Feb 2010, 15:28

Just watched it again and though I can see/hear it not being to everyone's taste I must say I really, really, REALLY like it. And here was me thinking they would just be using a tape or so, god that was a surprise arrangement/idea. Think Meat did really well and it looked like it went down a storm in the studio with everyone standing and even the judges showing huge approval. Awesome vocals. Fab!
Good time to still be a fan.

batcity · 13 Feb 2010, 15:32

good performance, the voice is getting there.. stilll not going to see him live. but well done

meat_loaf · 13 Feb 2010, 15:54

It was a really good performance i cant wait to see him live again i dont know if it was just me but i could here the opera singers voice over meats.

Dick · 13 Feb 2010, 19:09

Awesomely done. Very powerful.

Dave · 13 Feb 2010, 20:32

Let me chime in here...

First off, I am very thankful for the wonderful people who have uploaded this performance to YouTube and even more thankful for Meat Loaf's management team for not having it yanked from it. I believe this is the perfect launch for Meat Loaf's upcoming project - Hang Cool, Teddy Bear 4. I am so excited to see the new direction Meat Loaf is taking.

Comments have been made about Meat Loaf being "crazy" lately...hell yeah he has been crazy lately. It is nice to see the off the chain and over the top Meat Loaf back in good form. It seems like we have not seen him this charasmatic since things started going back with the distribution of the album Couldn't Have Said It Better. I really do think that CHSIB was an exceptional album and Meat seemed to take it very personally when things were not going well with the record company and the ticket scams and rackets associated with it. Watching Meat Loaf during the promo of Bat Out Of Hell 3 was extremely painful to me. To me, it felt that Meat Loaf was being lead through the promo and decisions were being made by the record company - not himself. I know and love the character Meat Loaf, could see Mr. Aday putting on the act in public, but the heart and passion simply was not there. After all of the Bat 3 hype was over and now there is a project that Meat Loaf is working on that is "his" I can see the passion is back in his form. I believe that once again Marvin has completely transformed back into Meat Loaf and I love it!

The performance of the song was exceptional! I loved the new arrangement. Yes, the Bat out Of Hell purists would find fault with it, but for what it is...the performance was brilliant. This worked far better than the version that was on the MSO DVD/CD. It was nice to see a totally re-worked version of the song that actualy placed the song into the format of the project it was part of. Yes, the chicka singing along with Meat was a bit much, but that is part of the format of the show - it is what it is.

Bravo Meat! You did good!

Dave

wolfy35 · 13 Feb 2010, 22:14

I loved it I thought Meat sounded really good as ever but the thing that really struck me was he seems to have found the raw power in his voice again that he lost for a while.

I did think he struggled slightly but only with keeping the tempo down as well as reigning in the rock god that resides within. It really warmed my heart on the few albeit brief occasions when the Meat I love so much sneaked out and reassured us he was still there.

As if I needed any reasurrance after seeing Meat so happy in his tweets that HCTB will showcase Meat at his very best his performance and the few seconds of Losangeloser we hear on the updated version of Behind the music have done that and so much more.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

**RadioMaster** · 13 Feb 2010, 22:42

honestly speaking, that was the first time in quite a few years that I was actually astonished by the power of his voice, especially towards the end of the performance. That is the Meat Loaf I became fan of!!

*originaldancechick · 13 Feb 2010, 23:46

Absolutely fantastic performancs. I really enjoyed it, I've always wanted to hear BOOH opera style anyway and I wasn't disappointed and so thank you Meat and Juliet. Luv cx
