Meat Loaf and Pink?

Elijah's way · 04 Apr 2009, 02:48

What would everyone think of Meat Loaf and Pink doing a song together? I think that it would be amazing there voices would be so good together.

Phew... I'm glad I read "Pink" and not "Miley Cyrus" again.

**RadioMaster** · 04 Apr 2009, 10:26

Ive voted both, yes and no lol

bobbin · 04 Apr 2009, 17:10

imo pink is too strong a singer and character to sing with meat, i dont know much of her stuff but what i have seen and heard i cant really see her doing a duet with anybody really lol. I think they both have strengths that would clash rather than compliment each other

I actually would put duet with Miley Cyrus as more plausible than a duet with Pink...I am just trying to figure out how Pink/Meat Loaf pairing can be even considered by anybody who even listens to music...

bobbin · 04 Apr 2009, 18:14

i agree with the miley cyrus thing lol though maybe not for the same reason, i dont know, i think Pink is too much 'in form' to duet with Meat, there is nothing to gain from it for her, and just wouldnt make sense, duets with Meat generally are with artists who arent big in their own right.
And yes lol i do know he did a duet with Cher

nikox1 · 05 Apr 2009, 01:30

i think they would go well together! 2 rockers, she is very talented and is a bit mad like meat!!!

i dont get what one of the above posts mean? too strong for meat? vocally?
because meat has a far more powerful voice than pink!! [ shes good, but aint vocally in meats league ] if thats not what was ment, no problem

And why exactly would you want to hear Meat singing with someone who´s not in his league??

Meats voice was powerful...a good few years ago.
Nowadays his voice would go down in a duet with Pink, thats for sure!!!!

A big NO to that duet
I´d rather have another great duet with him and Patti

nikox1 · 05 Apr 2009, 02:35

meat still has a powerful voice [ pink is a good singer, but meat is better ]
thats all, vocally meat has more to hes voice! i didnt say she was not good enough, if you listen to the cd with meat and marion raven, i think meat is the better singer imo, but it dont mean she aint good! she sounded great live!
pink has a huge character like meat, it would be interesting

Then he shouldn't sing with Patti either.

During the Bat III promo he once mentioned that they had considered to involve Melissa Etheridge. I saw that woman live and heard her sing duets with various good singers. It's not easy to keep up with her energy. Maybe speculating about a collaboration with Pink is not that far out? I don't believe it will ever happen but it might be a bold move.

A voice that has suffered over the years can still sound cool if you use it in the right way. How about a duet with this lady:

Everytime I've seen her perform live on tv it seemed rather painful to me.

**allrevvedup** · 05 Apr 2009, 12:39

I saw Pink live a few years ago at the Oxygen festival over here and thought she was very good.

I don't think Meat doing a duet with her would work and to be honest I'd just like to see Meat not have to rely on a duet to sell the song/album

Pink and Steven Tyler did a duet together called Misery, the title summing up the song perfectly.

I also hate getting bogged down in the argument as to who has the better voice because it's just the same argument as who is the best band in the world, best album...etc.

Since I'd Do Anything For Love they've tried to repeat its success by using the same formula: I'd Lie For You, Couldn't Have Said It Better, It's All Coming Back To Me Now.

They picked the wrong song. They should have done a rock song. It sounded as if they actually wanted to sing Walk This Way or Love In An Elevator.

Voices per se are neither "good" nor "bad". It depends on what you do with it. I also don't think that Meat's voice is worse now than it used to be. It's just different. This is something that happens to most singers as they grow older and they have to find a way to cope with it. Whenever I witnessed him performing a song badly, he seemed to be tense. When he was relaxed, the show went well.

Whether a duet works or not doesn't depend so much on whether the voices match but more on the song and on how well the singers perform as a team.

I listen to music every day of my life and I think Pink's voice would sound really good with Meat's

i agree that meats voice has just changed, and you are correct also that if meat has a good night [ boy is he good ] he is still a great singer

I said yes purely for the reason that this would be something I would HAVE to see how it worked!

LucyK! · 06 Apr 2009, 20:40

Hate to say it but Pink would wipe the floor with Meat, he's not got the pace to keep up with her...for a Pink/Meat Loaf duet to work she would have to tone it right down to work at the level he's at, which kinda defeats the object

I've seen Meat performing and I've seen Pink performing...and I REALLY would NOT want to SEE this duet...in my mind's eye it's Pink running around Meat in circles and it's all turning into some weird Paradise...doesn't mean it could be this bad but no matter how open minded I am, certain duets I won't even try to imagine...
