Absolutely - HCTB!

It's sounds exciting Meat, and I can't wait to see it :))

I've heard you sing Bat so many times Meat .. but this promises to be something very different and special .. She has a great voice, and one which I think will work well with yours.

I shall be right there in eager anticipation :)

Caryl

Should be interesting - I can't imagine Bat with opera singing but will definitely be watching. Wonder if the orchestra will be accompanying a la MSO? Will be a spectacle anyway :cool:

Certainly will be interesting to hear a new take on a classic song. Can't wait!

:up:
Bat purest...:lmao:

Carole

I can see the Steinman forum having a right hissyfit over this!

No such thing as bad publicity at the end of the day

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out...will be the first time i'll be able to watch this show (i know i'm hanging my head in shame!)

Unfourtunatly I'm working to night til 11 so I'll have to Sky + it. I may wake up the neighbours tonight when I get in and again in the morning. Really looking forward to this once again good luck tonight Meat.

may i ask again when the show is on? and if there's a livestream?
AAAND if someone could upload it quite quickly so I can watch it before going to bed?

It's on tonight 9pm - 10pm GMT

No idea about a stream

I suspect that several people will be uploading Meat's performance

that's ITV1?

I'm not sure what time the show is on. And I think you can watch it on the ITV1 website, but only if you live in the UK :-( Hopefully someone will upload it quickly so those of us in the USA can see it too !

AWESOME!! CAN'T WAIT MEAT!

Thanks Dave.

It's on at 9pm UK time, Meat will be on towards the end after the contestants have sung while the public are encouraged to ring in and vote. You're welcome to come round to watch it if you bring the beers RJ :))

if you take care of transportation...:))

I'm sure that Andy will be pleased to transport the beer to and from the fridge ;-)

gonna need some beer after all that opera ;)

Yes .. break a leg Meat (and we won't mention the Scottish play ;) )

Caryl

YES! That is why we all love you so much!!! I get it, I know a lot of others around here get it. That's what matters, right? Got it? Good! Now, get it!

Does anyone remember the version of Bat that Meat sang with Russell Watson back in, i think 2006 ? Although he is more of a...shall we say...self proclaimed opera singer, I thought him and Meat sounded really cool together!

Heres the clip ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5fH6y1KdW8

Macbeth? :mrgreen:

Well thank you for posting that, stretch37! Very, very cool.

Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends!

found this link on another fanclub website and as meatfans help meatfans - here you go.....but dont thank me :D

it says this:

Macbeth!

Well, it wasn't "The Bloody Murder of the Foul Prince Romero and His Enormously Bosomed Wife" ;-)

Did she bang like the privy door when the plague's in town?

You've met her? ;-)

She's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils!

Ummm....I can see your faded Levi's bursting apart here.
Back on topic? ;)

Yes, Bob!

Do they bury her in a Y-shaped coffin?

Bob's cunning plan to get back on topic wasn't a bad one really you know ;-)

That it be! :lol:

Good Luck Meat! :D

Break a leg and good luck! Or is that redundant? Either way, Kill em'.

no way to watch it online :(

Wow - really impressed with that. Did work really well, and Meat sounded great! :cool:

I know :( And ITV doesn't air in British Columbia or i'd be glued to it ;)

Meat you should be very proud of the performance! Really loved it....you honestly sound great. Not sure if it was Live or maybe recorded and then slotted in at the end, unless they are very quick at getting the set on and off. Meat looked healthy, love to hear Bat sound differant.


Nick

Be thankful

We were watching different shows then.

Hand on heart Meat looks and sounds GREAT but imo that didn't work, did watch it thinking how much I wished that Patti was doing the female vocal

Same here :( You can only watch it through the website if you live in the UK :roll:

that was a superb performance meat! you are sounding amazing cant wait to hear the new album and see you on tour again! bloody brilliant!

the voice is back!!:D [ not that it ever went ]:D
but well done meat, that was fantastic!! really powerhouse stuff!!
and the crowd went wild!! the girl did a great job too!! but she even looked in awwwwww of meat!! great stuff

Thanks for the updates everybody :))
Does anybody have a clip (or two) for us poor people who couldn't see it :??:
Please ....

It'll be on YouTube soon, and if it isn't I'll put it on rapidshare here.

IMO, amazingly good. I knew it would have to be an abridged/reworked version, but the orchestral and operatic approach was something else. I had thought 'why not do a song off the new album?' considering how much the new album seems to be trying to get away from the whole 'Meat Loaf is Bat Out Of Hell' thing, but having heard that arrangement and how it fit in with that show, I was thoroughly impressed.

Meat, if you read this, you blew me away for whatever that's worth. One minor gripe - your duet partner's mic should have been lowered a little, or yours turned up. But she was great all the same, and the arrangement was fresh and conducive to the song. A fresh coat of paint on a song that I and probably everyone else on this forum have heard hundreds of times. It worked. It was fantastic.

For the person complaining about the opera singer not being Patti...well, you answered your own question. This is a show about combining pop and opera. This arrangement did that. A straight reading of the Bat we've all seen on tour wouldn't have had any relevance to the show. I can understand purists not liking it but still...may as well complain that Pavarotti didn't sound like Rory Dodd when they did Heaven Can Wait together.

One last thing...flabbergasted that Kym and Marcella were knocked out. I thought they'd be in the final for sure.

Marcella was robbed!!!!

But I wasn't .. Meat. you looked and sounded fantastic !! It was very different, special. Great powerhouse finish! Thank you.

Caryl

it was live!! 100%,, meat was great:D

The arangement was something i woudnt want to hear all the time. However i think it fitted with the show theme. I thought it was a nice one off. I didnt see it as Bat out of hell as it was so differant. With that aside, Meat sounded on top form IMO.

I know meat was singing live but may have been shot as live earlier and then slot in the end unless they were very quick getting him on and off the stage.

:cool: performance

The voice is back ? That is exciting :!: Thanks for the update :) That settles it...im saving up and actually attending his tour this year as many shows as I can afford lol

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!! Well done Meat! Loved every second of it!

absolutley nailed it, yes yes yes !! both of you and the orchestra, just watched it again. Brilliant !!

pop star to oprastar
 

i thaught meat loaf singing tonight was diffrent but it was not what i thaught it would have been it was a lot slower but meat loaf was good as always i love the jacket and jewallry i want the jacket and the jewallry i think it will give me the meat image iam trying to create for myself and when i do my dj gigs lol

Thank you very much :))

It sounds great :-) Now I can't wait to hear it !

That's a shame about Marcella :( I really like her.

That dog was hunting!

Loved the arrangement, loved the voice.

Not 100% keen on Juliette, but hey 2 out of 3 ain't bad :))

Glad to see Bernie in the final too!

DJ meat? i like it:D

MONSTRO.....i totally agree.
Been a BIG ML fan for sooooo long, but tonight i sat here a bit bemused why this came about.
No doubt meat's voice is still good as ever, but should of been patti alongside him.Probably not what the 'TV' people wanted though. Roll on the album....

just listening

Meat was good, but that woman...:lmao:

Im laughing so hard here my sides hurt!!!

Any-way.....1 last tit-bit.
Is there any...any...any slim chance that meat could do the download festival in june.?

audacious, creativity ! both themes brought together brilliantly !! just watched again, awsome performance !!

download fest
 

i dont think meat loaf dose festavels i read somewere that he did leeds in1980 or 70s with bonnie tyler and they got bottled of stage and dosent do them but hey you neaver know with meat

It's an opera programme hence the opera singer. It's not like she'll be replacing Patti on the tour guys! Relax! I do think it would have been operatic enough (and better) with just Meat singing with that arrangement, but still thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Anyway, what's going to happen next week though (aside from Bernie winning)?! It'll be the last fix of Meat on TV here (that we know of) and then we have to wait exactly 2 months for the album!! :shock: It's gonna be tough!

At least there's still twitter :cool:

audacious, creativity, the two themes perfectly combined, just watched again, as the man says ' go with the time and place dude !'

It ain't over 'til the Bat lady sings
 

popstar to operastar
 

I really enjoyed tonights show meat loaf was fantastic singing bat out of hell and it was sad to see kym and marcella to go out tonight. i just hope bernnie will win the show next week i think she is fantastic

Wooo!
 

FANTASTIC!!! So enjoyed that performance! Did you see the look on his face at the end he was positively beaming!! He knew he'd rocked it! Loved that hi-5 to the orchestra. Wake up UK, Meat Loaf 2010 has arrived x x x :D

Thanks! :D :D :D

dito

Oh my, that was frigging amazing ! Thank you SO much for uploading!!!

WOW!!!!!! just wanted to say well done meat for that great performance on the show. your vocals were amazing and full of power!!!! some of the notes you were hitting were electric!! i hope the press and who ever see this give you the credit you deserve and for all your hard work you have put in over the last few months. seeing this tonight has really made me excited for a tour. once again meat well done!!!!!!!!

Tony!

Moving away from Bat slightly - what was with all the Skull & Crossbones tonight Meat? ;)

I loved the performance Meat! You're fantastic as always! :))

I think he borrowed some of Jim's clothing and jewelry :lol:

Maybe he's supporting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society? :-)

I am.

LOL! I know exactly what you mean!

Meat sounded absolutely fantastic, but the woman....I have no comments :-)

The - Loaf - Is - Back
 

Alright, negative first:

I think the opera style voice of the girl didnt fit the song AT ALL.

now the good stuff:
After watching this, I seriously doubt those last years with the vocal problems ever occured.
Meat didnt just belt out the song like he did so frequently, he was actually vocally in control, yet had a power in his voice I havent heard in years.
Good thing that he took a new approach to the song, and didnt just run through the old routine the 4586th time.
The arrangement was interesting, reminded me of that Royal Philharmonic album from the nineties. He should definitely do a whole show with just him and an orchestra, that would be something interesting.
Lastly: Kudos to Mr. Loaf for actually competing vocally with a professionally trained opera singer.
He's good at what he does, but it takes A LOT to play on the same level as those people. He risked a lot when he went on stage with that girl, but he won 100%.

--> now off to pop in the MSO DVD. :D

F**king AMAZING Voice!!!

Meat kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meat, I actually enjoyed that, and I can't stand opera!!!!!!!

He looked happy, healthy and was enjoying himself!

He nailed it, nailed it, nailed it. Yiiiihaa!:D:D

Have to say, I thought that "BAT" was absolutely brilliant. Meat sounded in great voice and the different style to BAT was great.

I know we have all heard the rock ballard it is known for but I really did think it was great! Me and my brother watched it a couple of times and I thought it was great. The crowd loved it!! Well Done Meat!!

Fab performance. Well done Meat! :))
