I guess you won't be joining the Russell Watson fan club then Mouse

**The Flying Mouse** · 18 Jun 2003, 17:06

Not bloody likely

.
Now where did I leave that book with all those fun curses in it

Bart · 18 Jun 2003, 17:27

Steinman also produced another song from one of those batman movies. I got that single, but i don't remember now the title and the artists

evil nickname · 18 Jun 2003, 17:39

Bart, could you be reffering to "Original Sin (Theme from The Shadow)" by Taylor Dayne? That's from the movie "The Shadow" (like, duh!), which is, AFAIK, a complete Batman rip-off...

Bart · 18 Jun 2003, 17:48

no, not that song, but is it great version of Original sin?

I meant an other song. a ballad. o god, what is the name of it?

evil nickname · 18 Jun 2003, 18:02

He also produced "I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You" by Mark Anthony and Tina Arena. That's from "The Mask of Zorro" and a ballad... AFAIK, he hasn't done any song for a Batman movie, although he seems to be working on Batman - The Musical.

And for Taylor Dayne's version of Original Sin, well, for the love of God I can't remember how it sounds, haven't heard it in a while... but it was nothing spectacular, otherwise I would have remembered :-)

Bart · 18 Jun 2003, 18:06

yeah, i meant that song: i want to spent a lifetime loving you.

I bought it at the time, cause Jim was involved, but the song is nothing special.

Kev · 19 Jun 2003, 16:46

I too can't stand it and almost hate it as much as Tylers danced up version of 2 out of 3...

there's many stories about 'No Matter What'. The best (and most likely to be true) is that they (meat and boyzone) were to release the song at the same time (solo releases, not a duet) and all the promotion was ready to take off when Meats Wife became ill and he went to look after her. After a hard decision, it was released only by Boyzone and made number one. It's a hidden gem that I would love to see released one day by meat as it is far too good to be a B-Side for 'Is Nothing Sacred'...

But, we all know, andy Meat B-Side is better than a Boyzone A side

Cathie · 19 Jun 2003, 16:49

Too Right!!!

Bart · 19 Jun 2003, 17:13

But 2 outta 3 from Bonnie is just a joke. An eyewink to meat's version. I think it is meant to be ironic. The backing vocals are great bye the way and my daughter likes it.

Gave the catacoombs a clear out yesterday found this Barry Manilow and played it - ended up "barking at the lawn"

Polethebear · 28 Jun 2003, 06:55

I have to say I like both versions.My only problem about meat's version is he left out a great almost dare i say erotic lyric written by steinman.The lyric where about "tracing your body in the air",I loved it-It was so deep.My cousin even was struck by it and he is the FURTHERIST(not yelling) thing from BM you can get. He is more Lynryd Skynryd,Country,Heavy Metal etc.

Meat was so painful to watch in the video.He really did a great job expressing the emotions of the character.

greg · 02 Jul 2003, 06:59

of all people barry do a meat song it was written for meat & thats wear it should stay

JJ · 13 Jul 2003, 19:28

Ok..so I know its not cool to admit to liking her,

but I think Celine Dion singing Jim's 'It's all coming back to me now' is fantastic!!! Whoever sings Jim's songs needs a powerful voice otherwise they don't work...and like her or not, Celine certainly has that.

mariella · 13 Jul 2003, 19:49

JJ, I love that song!
IMO, when it comes to enjoying music, ANY 'combination' of artists/styles, is possible.
The most important thing is it feels 'right' to you.

Great day to you,

Mariella

Evan · 13 Jul 2003, 22:10

Actually I prefer Elaine Causwel's original version of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now." I find it to be much superior to Celine's. As far as "Read Em' And Weep" goes, the producers and Barry Mannilow wanted Jim to write a new song for him, instead Jimmy gave him "Read Em' And Weep." Comparing the two versions, Meat Loaf owns this song and his is far more sexually explicit if you listen closely to the lyrics. The great thing, or atleast one of the many great things about Jimmy's unbelievable talent is that he's able to put sexual lines in love songs and most of the time the line goes over the audiences head, most notably in "For Crying Out Loud", "can't you see my faded levi's bursting apart!"

Sapphire Lady · 13 Jul 2003, 23:03

It's All Coming Back to Me is a brilliant song. However as it's reportedly Cathy singing to Heathcliffe it needs a female to sing it. Pity, as Meat would be great at it.

JJ · 13 Jul 2003, 23:14

Haven't heard Elaine Causwell's version of Its all coming back to me now(in fact I've never heard of Elaine Causwell)....does that make me a dork?
Will have to check it out now!! Thanks!

Jim refused to give Meat that song as it was meant for a girl.....but I think he would have sung it brilliantly too.

Sapphire Lady · 13 Jul 2003, 23:20

JJ, it's on Pandora's Box Original Sin CD. Definitely superior to Celine Dion's version.

Tim · 13 Jul 2003, 23:53

Indeed, The pandora's box version is very cool.

But Bary Manilow singing 2 out of three??? My god.. how they can destroy music.... pfff....
No techno this time... then it is a person like that who destroy it.

Mierenporno again Tim :-)

It's Barry who did Read 'Em & Weep, and Bonnie Tyler who did a dance version of 2 outta 3... And while I can stand Barry's Read 'Em & Weep, I can't stand Bonnie's take on 2/3, even though Jim produced it himself...

JJ · 14 Jul 2003, 15:49

Thanks Sapphire!! Regarding Elaine Caswell - it suddenly dawned on me who you meant afterwards! DUH!

I'm not too good with names!!

Yeah, I like Pandora's box version but still prefer Celine on this one I'm afraid....she has more expression and power as far as Im concerned...works for me...although the guitarriff is great!

Just listening to Dance in my pants at the moment...oohh...go Jim go!!
