Is Patti underrated?

That's a very good point. But if you are the main person on the stage who writes, and sings all the songs, and who's name is scrolled across all the promotion posters, that can be classed as a solo career, because it all evolves around you. If you weren't in the show it's a no show, it's your creation. Does that make sense?

You really need to start fully reading what someone has written and not guess what they've written. At no point was it suggested that NLE was the back up band for Patti's solo venture, nor was it suggested that they only perform Patti's songs.

If you look at NLE as a group and not just a backing band and look at them performing Meat Loaf/Steinman/Queen and whoever else songs, then I can see that working. The Shadows were Cliff Richards backing band for many years and also had a relatively successful career away from Sir Cliff.

This thread has gone So off topic, even for my taste.

i think it would offend Patti that people (including myself) are talking about her financial stance and whether she can go solo.

Meat Loaf fans love her to death. Tabloids aren't all over her. Doesn't sound like shes underrated to me. I think shes right where she wants to be and is very content.

I think this should be locked and forgotten

I do tend to agree with Wario. (Which leaves me worried).

Think we've done this to death now haven't we?
