I find this quite offensive. My turn...
There is NOT ONE song of of BFG that I think ML did better than Jim or Rory. He did a great job COVERING those songs, but Rory's voice is magic IMO.
That being said, this is NOT a good demo... but I still highly enjoy anything Rory. In fact if you think about it almost every AWESOME thing that ML has done involved Rory.
Hell, with the exception of Tanz, everything awesome that JIM has done involved Rory. Think about it. What's the last MAJOR hit by Jim or ML that has that Rory wasn't there for? "No Matter What" by Boyzone?
The fact is that a few people on this forum don't think that ANYONE has passion except for ML. That is one of the most horrible things that you can say about a musician, ESPECIALLY a singer. I guess if you actually were a musician you would know that.

However, when I heard Steinman's version I was completely blown away. The fact that there are moments when the right notes just do not matter, but making sure the deliberate delivery of the song is on point (to me) displays a level of passion rarely heard in a completed recorded work. When he is literally yelling the lyrics over an orchestration clearly meant for a well oiled musical machine....spine chilling!

That's what some people don't get... Unless it's ML blowing chunks. THAN it doesn't matter because he's so passionate. And I agree, that it doesn't always matter, but give other artists the same courtesy.
IMO BFG versions of LITD, RARDCT and 'Surf's Up' can't be touched because they're already perfect. That's just me.
