Bat Out Of Hell On X Factor - Page 2

Still. You gotta give the man credit for trying.

Please don't ever try again.

Cherry.Loaf · 30 Oct 2010, 23:29

Yep just what I expect I now suspect that my remote was hiding to stop my ears bleeding.

Pudding · 30 Oct 2010, 23:31

That was hilarious

hopefully he'll last till next week and we'll get Anything For Love. The guy might be shit but he's shit and on TV, good luck to him.

JennaG · 30 Oct 2010, 23:46

Simon said it best when he said "What the hell".

An entertainer but definately not a singer. He should leave songs like Bat Out Of Hell to those who can really sing.

The guy is somehow amusing but he just can't sing that song. In fact I haven't heard a version of Bat so far that was at least half as impressive as Meat's. That and the guy who sang Born To Run are two of the numerous reasons why I can't take such talent shows seriously.

agreed bat is one of those songs that meat can only sing. anyone can cover took the words, two outta three, paradise, AFL, even masculine. But LEAVE BAT ALONE.

now ... looks like im got bat to do for the recording project

LisaT · 31 Oct 2010, 01:25

I don't think Meat has got too much to worry about! LOL

Wario · 31 Oct 2010, 01:38

Simon was quite easy on him

To be fair 'that guy who sang Born To Run' did background vocals on Bat 3, and it's evident why he does background vocals and not the main ones.

suzieq · 31 Oct 2010, 03:01

HE'S HOT!!!!

kidding.

ok, I liked the dancing skeletons. I thought they were cool. This guy has a "likeability" factor. He just may get the votes. LMAO though!

In this video you can also see someone who played on Bat III. This is what a cover of that song has to sound like - and fortunately there ain't any dancing.

That guy is a better singer than Wagner but he doesn't appear interesting to me and apparently he didn't understand the song. Wagner is at least entertaining and I agree with Suzie regarding the "likeability factor". But as a fan of Bruce as well as of Meat, having to witness what these great songs have to serve for on TV these days is almost depressing.

Wario · 31 Oct 2010, 04:43

The guy actually reminds me of myself: a 54 year old momma's boy who cant sing but has great charisma

Sarge · 31 Oct 2010, 04:57

I didn't know that you were that old.

Mr. Happy · 31 Oct 2010, 07:30

Oh my god...I just died a little inside...

LucyK! · 31 Oct 2010, 12:19

The first we heard of it was a text from my Mum saying "are you watching X Factor? Nothing will prepare you!" and the second was "there was no excuse for that!!"

Oddly, I actually believe I've seen worse! To me, Bat is one of those songs that can only be done by Meat's voice, it just sounds wrong otherwise, so if people are going to cover it I'd much prefer to watch someone like Wagner having some fun and doing almost a pi$$-take version than watch some people I've seen attempting to do a serious cover which will never work - as was proved on Strictly when they gave it to a British guy who sang it with an American twang and the "rock" huskiness to his voice.

*AndyK* · 31 Oct 2010, 12:21

Brilliantly tongue in cheek terrible!

Of course Bat is synonymous with Meat, no one can sing it liek the big man. Last nights effort was bad TV that was compulsive watching. If they'd slowed it down a little bit it would have been far far better, the speed and the Brazilian accent just don't mix.

24K · 31 Oct 2010, 12:31

I spent most of the night on the phone to the Samaritans and a razor blade in one hand

LOL..
IMO he does not have the likeability factor, more like the you fat skanky basterd factor ! I am gonna hunt Louie down, the sackless tw@t should be strung up, i am scarred for life !

MeatLoafFanRay · 31 Oct 2010, 13:33

The same people who made Rage Against The Machine Xmas No.1 are apparently voting repeatedly for that Wagner guy every week to make him the winner lol! Also I would like to suggest the title of this thread is changed to Bat Out Of Hell MURDERED On X Factor!

Oh my god!! Just thought surely not, but checked the sleeve notes and he's on like every track

He was definitely not lead singer material though

Steve6 · 31 Oct 2010, 17:58

Wagner didn't just sing BOOH poorly he absolutely massacred it. I thought he'd be lambasted by Simon Cowell, but he actually got off lightly. How can he possibly get through after that? it was a shockingly bad performance. Whoever votes for him really needs to get their hearing checked out. The X-Factor is a shambles.

Wario · 31 Oct 2010, 18:37

this is even worse:

YouTube Video

dukesofhazard · 31 Oct 2010, 18:48

At least Spice up your life and all the other stuff he sang were pants songs to begin with. I have a feeling that people are going to be taking the piss in work tomorrow

Thats a bit harsh ain't it. I think Wagner knows he is not going to win X-Factor and is going along with the fun. Credit to the guy to get on stage on live tv too millions and do what he did. OK, it may have been a awful performance, but I was not expecting Meat, I was expecting the cheesy performance he gave, thats what I expect from trash tv.
