Thank you !!!

It sounds fabulous .

[JanT]

Excellent!

[allrevvedup]

It is a mystery to me why a decent producer has literally begged stolen and borrowed all they had to convince a record company to record with Ms Russo.


As close to if not equal to the original version...the simplicity of it is brilliant, just a piano and Patti

[citydweller]

When we got our first listen of Bat III, I couldn't wait to hear Patti's voice on the "Future" track. Heartbroken that it wasn't there, hearing her voice on her own version of this song has been a dream come true. I agree with you, allrevvedup. This is not an industry I understand. I am a consumer, I have money to buy CD's and concert tickets , and I can't get enough of this woman's voice! How much more is there to the formula??????? But anyway, to Patti's future.........and to Patti's "Future!"

Me too, I was absolutely gutted and still am...BUT...now we have "This Future.." and I can't be more overwhelmed and I don't say that lightly.

Absolutely Breathtaking! Thank You - Thank You - Thank you!

There has to be a recordcompany out there who is willing (and honoured) to release some of Pattis songs, I think!

What an excellent question! I hope you get an answer.

Clearly at some point she WAS slated to do the duet with him, according to his early posts on the subject and the recording studio pictures on .net. I wonder if it ever happened? If it IS out there and didn't get used, then what a costly......costly mistake that was.

[Ankie]

Out now to find a computer that does play it......

THANKS!!!!

I would love to have a "mp3 Fairy" (as you put it )

Sorry a bit slow this morning - what you mean?? Man, I don't think I have woken up yet Any help??

[Ma.Ra]

I do not want to bring old topics back, but after having Marion Raven and the girl from the bat3 tfawiutb, I could understand why Pattis has gone..

All in all, Patti's version is IMHO also amazing.
Personally I like also the bat3 version, but I have listened too much to this version. I like songs which are not overproduced.

As you all know Jennifer Hudson sang on the Future, she is a big,big star in the USA, Grammy winner, american Idol etc, this all equates to one thing.
The album will sell more units with Jennifer Hudson than it would have with Patti, unfortunately this is a pure numbers game, by the way they are both excellent singers.

I was merely speaking about my own disappointment. Everyone thought Patti and Meat's duet WOULD be on the album as we had all been told. I was unprepared and shocked when I first heard a voice other than Patti's on the track.

Obviously Jennifer would have been chosen for marketing reasons, though the Grammy was not yet hers. In none of the interviews I saw or read about with her did I hear her mention any involvement on this album. With that as the intention, I hope I missed some where she did.

I am so glad Patti's version of "Future" exists and has been made available for people to hear.

[loaferman61]

A beautiful version, she really nails the "but it always does" at the end. Why she wasn't featured more on Bat 3 I will never understand. I hate that Meat let her get away. She's a great talent and somebody should sign her up. She's miles better than the talent contest show winners who get record deals.

Unfortunately nobody got the memo. I don't think much was done to use Hudson to promote the album. With all the publicity she was getting before the Oscars I would have thought anyone would have pushed that song. As it stands it's just another wasted opportunity and we could have had Patti on this song as well.

[LostSoul]

Something is definitely missing on this tour...

I think "The Wrong Thing" with Ty Taylor and "The Vault" are better but this one is perfect too.

Had the song been released as a single or Bat3 re-released with HUGE Jennifer Hudson stickers on them, around the time of the Oscars and other award shows, then you'd make a very good point.

LMAO I think there was a lot of memo's missing for a lot of things

The Vault is just a section where Patti will be putting some songs into, it's not the name of an actual song.

Maybe if all the new Bat 3 CDs have this sticker on them in time for the 2nd leg of the US tour it might just sell more than if the sticker said Patti Russo (no offence to Patti) sounds like a marketing mistake if this does not happen.
