Surely in Meat's case it was one of the main reasons for his success; go out there and show confidence in the possibility of all rejection.
If someone comes on stage with a lyric sheet it simply isn't impressive I think. It's closer to karaoke than a performance which allows for connecting to the audience which is something many of us have gotten used to with Steinman's music. If they came on stage at the Eurovision with a lyric sheet they would get nil points. Is that ridicule or reality?

And your right. Lyric sheets were devastating to the performance. But I'm not going to make comments like this one
Are WE SURE this wasn't "LIVE BAND KARAOKE PRESENTS JIM STEINMAN?"
I think there were a few versions that were better than others. I am of the opinion that though some of performers could have been better with some more practice I don't think mocking them is necessary.
Were they better than Meat?
No
I'll give them an E for effort
