I have got confirmation from a Norwegian journalist that Meat are visiting Norway today...

I wish I had got the opportunity to meet him...

Meat:
I hope you are enjoying your stay here in Norway!
And please come back for a visit on your upcoming tour! We miss you!

Edit #1:
And now its even been confirmed by Meat himself in this twitter/youtube. Sweden yesterday, and Norway today. And Denmark tomorrow I'll guess. A tight schedule.

Edit #2:
And even more videos from Norway here and here

Popstar To Opera Star is reported to be coming back on our screens in June, I am wondering if Meat is to return on the judging panel

I doubt it considering he's working on the new CD and doing shows in the USA this summer

God I hope not, this show did absolutely nothing for him

He has said that he is not doing anymore reality tv but we all know his word seems to be a shot in the dark.

I think that's a rather inflammatory statement.

Being a judge on such a show is not doing reality TV. Last time he did it, Meat was told to be crazy and that's exactly what he did.

Meat Loaf was the ONLY reason to watch Popstar to Opera star last season. And his arrangment of Bat Out of Hell for the show was a delight, even if the opera singer wasn't great, it was still amazing!

I agree with all of that Slice. Meat has responded to questions asking if he'll appear on another reality show as a contestant by saying no, he won't. He accepted CA for two reasons; to win money for his beloved charity, and for personal learning and development .. both of which he's achieved. Should there ever be another reality show which ticked those boxes and which he accepted, it would not offer any evidence of inconsistency, as he was being asked about the shows currently around which don't. Although imo he may still have a wistful dream about Dancing With the Stars

The first week of Popstar to Operastar he was well researched and obviously wanted to give useful feedback to contestants, was repeatedly cut short, and the producers made it clear they wanted him there for crazy "Meat Loaf effect". He'd agreed to do the show as part of a total promotional deal, he's a professional, so that's what he did .. although even in the soundbites he gave from then on here was imo always a useful point, and it was obvious that he gave quite a bit of useful feedback to contestants behind the scenes. His current schedule and commitments makes it pretty obvious imo that he wouldn't be able to fit a second series planned for this summer in, even if he were asked, and asked to be the judge he would like to be.

He would imo make a marvellous judge/coach in any of the plethora of singing talent contests on TV, because he knows more about what makes a compelling stage performance than anyone I can think of, and could give useful and constructive feedback rather than set out to make it a vehicle to promote himself, unlike so many of the judges we see on these shows. However, because of his expressed concerns about these shows, plus producers would probably want what they see as a "crazy Meat Loaf" performance. So I think it's unlikely to happen, although he would make a terrific contribution in that role were he allowed to make it in the way he would want, and felt moved to accept. And should that ever be the case it would be invaluable for the contestants, and demonstrate his integrity, rather than any inconsistency.

He'd also be a great person for Trump to bring back as an ex-contestant adviser .. and this wouldn't demonstrate any inconsistency either
