He has. Its called Amnesty is Granted and its on the Case Live CD

He also did DRFL with CC which has never been recorded officially which is sad.

I mean in the studio.

Maybe because as a vocalist she's just OK and not really great

I beg to differ with you, Pudding about CC's vocal ability. I have seen several of her solo shows with her band, including one accoustic show and she can more that cut it vocally. She is a tremendously talented and extremely gifted singer. She can sing Janis Joplin almost as good as Janis. Janis was one of kind and an original so no one could ever do janis better than Janis herself. CC can belt out a rock song, sing a ballad, and do sing folk/blues songs. She is truly amazing vocally. Both of CC's albums are awesome.

But is she good enough? Why didn't she do lead vocals on the 3 Bats tour instead of Aspen?

You don't have to beg to differ, you can just differ.

If Meat thought CC's vocals were THAT good, then how come she wasn't promoted to lead female when Patti left, instead they recruited Aspen Miller?

She is most definitely good enough, vocally. I think Aspen did the lead vocals on the duets for the 3 Bats tour because of the theatrical aspects of the songs, especially Paradise. To make that song work you have to be good vocally as well as part actress. Aspen also had theater experience which made her the better choice, all things considered. CC did share some vocals on Life Is a Lemon. For the Casa de Carne tour CC also shared lead vocals for a couple of songs with Patti - can't remember which ones at the moment.

CC also did DRFL on the 3 bats tour

I think someone who has a name 'CCfan' is slightly biased in their opinion towards CC

CC also did "45 Seconds" on the Casa tour.

She was cute enough, but wrong enough to distract me from going to see Meat while she was with him. Her stage presence with him on TV was distracting enough to discourage this superfan from attending shows. However, she was absolutely AMAZING in We Will Rock You. I would recommend anyone seeing her on stage like that!!!

Here's a one of my CC pics from the Casa Tour.
Enjoy!

Just a thought. But didn't Aspen leave NLE shortly after getting married? maybe her husband thought her doing Paradise with Meat was too weird...which it was. And CC is married and maybe she has a refusal of doing that song which prevents her from doing female lead. I've no idea what Patti's marital status is

And one of my pics of Aspen since she's been brought up. Casa Tour.

Unfortunately this is the tour Meat would rather forget, and his duet with CC for DRFL was one of the last songs at that concert in Newcastle. If it was recorded I don't think we'll ever hear it as CC sounded great but Meat was struggling.

As for why CC didn't get the gig when Patti left. IMO its 2 things. First as already mentioned Meat wants an actress to play the part in his duets, and being a great singer does not make you a great actress. As we all know outside of performing with Meat both Patti and Aspen do mostly stage theatre whereas CC performs mostly as lead singer in her band. This is because its what they do best.
Secondly I think it's down to the sound of their voices. CC and Patti have different voices. Both are fantastic but they are not necessarily suited to singing the same types of song.
CC has a phenomenal voice, is a great singing performer and what red blooded male can ever forget her 45 seconds performances.
I'm sure that if Meat keeps performing and CC stays with the NLE she will get more chances to shine.

PS Thanks for the pics Suzie. Mmmmmmmm..............

How long before this thread goes the way of the last one?!

[LostInBat]

I agree totally that her stage presence in terms of acting ability isnt quite all there which I feel may have let her down. Its a shame coz I really like CC and wouldve loved to have seen her as lead, she wouldve done a great job.
Aspen had great stage presence, always improvising and keeping up with Meat, sometimes even getting a little bit ahead, which wont be good.
Patti's stage presence is great when she's duetting but I found on her solo during Casa she was always looking around for backup or support, but shes awesome anyways.

Correction: My CC and Aspen pics were from the Seize the Night Tour, not Casa.
