Couldn't Have Said It Better

[nina2515]

most singers will always use a mix of back track with live singing and its understandable, it is hard putting all the energy they do into it and still get everything perfect, it backs up the performance and does not mean that he isnt ALSO signing live

[indradk]

I dont know any other singers who sing it from bottom of their hearts as Meat Loaf and Patti... I simply love this song forever - meaningful and deep

[lonnerridder]

i suppose if you sing a song enough it'll sound like the recording

[potsz2]

harmony is beautiful and so powerful.then their performance is very interesting.

nice movie!

[Tarzancalls]

He did act before becoming a recording star-but I won't hold it against him.

mine or not it's an awesome number.

[LuueChriss]

I love Meatloaf and I just love his words and the messages behind them with each song he does. Those that say he's lip singing sometimes, look at the guy at the panio. I think he might be that guy your hearing.

[scotia1488]

Surely its time for a meat loaf episode of Glee ? i think it would work

[gdcod3player]

HOLY CRAP THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE ALBUM AND ITS NOT ITS LIVE

[cheymckenzie96]

i dont think he is lip syncing they are using a backing track though and thats y it might look that way at 2:03 ish but there are also some tells that he is really singing like the way he bends a little on the tougher notes thats a technique to protect a tired voice from harm and the way there are subtle differences from the recorded version and this one.

[yangwilliams]

If you watch that video, they arent singing at that point either

[perrysprincess]

You can tell @ 2:03-2:05 that he is lip synching.  He misses his mark there, but who really cares. This is Meatloaf! He is a vocal god!

[cheymckenzie96]

@perrysprincess I think hes singing along to the recording because it looks like it was at a time his throat was having troubles again.

[evilemperordude]

Plenty of great singers have mimed from time to time for some reason or another. Even if they are, they put on a great performance.

[newcharisma]

I'm a huge fan of Meatloaf's and Patti Russo. I just love this video. Thanks for sharing.

[PaulMcCartneyFan]

I don't know, but if they are lip-syncing, why would they put monitors in their ears?

[OnlyInNaziGermany]

He puts in so much emotion

[raveneleni]

i think its so hard to tell if hes miming cos there using the original song as a backing track as opposed to a band, so its gonna be the exact same rythym etc their kinda constrained. I think it sounds A LOT like thevideo, but i dont think its miming as there is subtle differences at some points. Also if they both have little work dont to their voices after recording (which is possible, theyre both awesome live, lol) then its really hard to see the difference lol. I vote not miming tho

[kingmallow]

He did that thing where he bends over to project his voice cause he looses wind. It's like the only thing I can tell, but man it's a tough call

[matlock12c]

When it comes to POWER BALLADS this duo IS THE BEST THERE IS!

[raser87]

das ist nicht niemals live!!!!!

[dlc208]

to me this sounds identical to the video so I would be suspicious....but I would like to think that Meat doesn't mime

[napalam]

3:30 if you think that's miming, there must be something wrong with you.

[EvilVickidavamp]

mimming doesnt matter meatloaf works so hard and he writes his own songs =-S i think lol so leave it please xxgreat vid

[hatstalker]

jim steinman writes nearly all of his songs

[CavemanJesus4Life]

Steinman didnt write this.........one of the writers of this song is Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue.

[CavemanJesus4Life]

Meatloaf wrote a couple of songs from this album, but he never wrote many songs. Most are from Steinman, Desmond Child. This song was written by Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue and I believe Desmond Child.

[EvilVickidavamp]

I want her boots lol

[ffmarkm]

To all those who seem to be spending all their time looking at Meat so as to guage whether or not he is miming:

PATTI RUSSO - PHWOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!.

'nuff said (imho).

[smvm61]

just great what can you say?.

[airbrushcraig]

One thing to consider is the size of this studio isn't big enough for the whole band, even if they were available. I'm glad to see two of the best voices of all time.

[steinmanloaf]

Miming or not who gives a @##%, the guys a natural born rock god. Ive seen him perform this live and he sounds just as good. Rock on Meatloaf.

[raser87]

This is not live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alvaro660]

Beautiful ! That's all I can say!

[Jainjme]

Damn Stevie Nicks, Cher, Patti Smythe. Patti Russo is the greatest Fem rocker of all time!

[MeatloafTribute1]

he is miming, watch the cock up where he says ,,,,,just say nothing and forgets to put the mike to his mouth!

[steinmanloaf]

Who cares if he's miming, the guy works hard, give him a break, probably needs a night off, try doing what he does........

[MeatloafTribute1]

i have been doing it 3 shows a week every week for last 14 yrs! never mimed!!!

[Tarzancalls]

@MeatloafTribute1

Good for you dude! He is awesome though. Where do you tour? 

[STEPHIESPLZ]

that is the pianist that says that! dah different vioce

[MeatloafTribute1]

bollocks!

[MeatloafTribute1]

so why does he mouth the words but forgets to put the mic to his mouth , its mimed end of!!

[Pineappleseeds]

OMG I love this song and performance:)

[LizzyBenett]

Their performance is the same as in the official video...as are the vocals. It may not be the best performance - but it's still a great song and they are still two of the best voices I know...

[bloodheart06]

ARGHH i love HIM!!!

brilliant song

[stephesa03]

it's definately from the des and mel show

[bornfromashes2008]

looking at the set id say this was on today with des and mel

[RPAMeatloafGTO]

Why wasn't this song a number 1 seller....??????

[onotevs]

i like his performance of acting and singing.

[Paaaaaaaaaaap]

That's a commercial version, shall we say... an infamous one... to forget

[Konstantin1234]

Nice Lip singing Mr. loaf

[ZodiacManzo]

it does look like he's lip synching on this particular version. so is patti.

watch his hand. its not shaking at all.

[djwalt8]

Its lip synched the backround vocals are from more than the 2 ladies, At the 2 minute mark its clearly visible its not really sung, He sings without a microphone. Great song, not sure what it is recorded for.. Live versions are much better anyhow..

[164645]

and where are the drums? not there.

[redeyephoenix]

the loaf just puts so much show into all of his work, each time he sings it, it changes, not the words but always the performance, and almost always for the better

[axlroseismine]

des and mel show it been hacked now but it was a great interview with meat

[mrbluesman1001]

I really hope the LOAF is back in 2008. He has brought so much happiness to so many people it would be cruel for it all to end this way with an illness stopping him finishing the 3 bats tour. Take care Meat. Luv and respect

[ZodiacManzo]

hes coming back in june. :)

and search for the pga tour jam session with john daly and alice cooper.

voice is back.

[ChocolateLoaf17]

I just love it =)

[mtlsixshooter]

Simply out if this world !

[xHOTTiiESx]

i think this man is a bloody genius, people say that im daft to think he has a good voice but i say theyre deaf as i will always say meatloaf is number one, im only 19 and i would put my money and my life on his lyrics, what can i say the man's a saint, cama from glasgow

[mrbluesman1001]

Hey great to hear there are younger guys out there who appreciate his genius. Bat out of hell was released the year I was born. I have grown up with Meats music and feel it has shaped me into who I am today. NEVER stop rocking! In the land of the pig, the butcher is KING!

[garak1976]

I'm about the same age as you, was in 12th grade when Meat made his huge comeback with Bat II, and i know exactly how you feel. Tell me, did you get joked by people for being Meat fan? "Hey man, you gotta listen to Pearl Jam" I got alot of that but stood my ground!

[mrbluesman1001]

I did get a bit of "joking" for liking Meat at school/college but I look at the bands my friends liked and ask...... WHERE ARE THEY NOW????

[cheyennemcman]

I am trying to download this song but, no luck....someone please help..thankyou...i just love this song and meatloaf he is a true classic no one like "MEAT" as Jim Steinmen would say

[TangoGig]

the song is in the newsgroup "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1970s­"

[DancingRain77]

Uh-huh...and...WHAT in the FRILLY hell does THAT have to do with Meatloaf?!? Um...sweetie? Perhaps it's time you...oh, I dunno...get a life?!?

[JBird991]

its obvious hes miming for 2 reasons

1. he misses his cue and is singing without the mic to his mouth

2. theres no band yet theres a guitar solo

but still can u blame him hes been singing like that for years

[greenshields1]

This was on Des and Mel and I am a huge Meat fan but I have to dissapoint you all and tell you he was *Cough*splutter*(miming)*

[samjwhite]

I can see he was miming cos its exatly the same as on the almbum, Its rare for for him to do that buts its obvious

[Fethers17]

he's gettin pretty fukin old and his voice has porbably had it unfortunately so he has 2 lip sing if he don't wanna sound shit, which really is a bummer

[garak1976]

Keep up that positive attitude there sport.

[siskokidd]

Kasim on keys - cool! Is there anything he can't do?

[samjwhite]

From what I can see this was on the Dess and Mel show in the UK

[DancingRain77]

Thank you for telling me. I *cough*downloaded it*cough* and I had no clue where the video was from. I just like it. I've always loved most of the songs Meatloaf sings, and his videos are usually quite good. This was the first live vid I've seen of his, and it just kinda stuck with me. His energy. He was very into this song, and I don't think it was all 'playing to the audience'. He seems to really love what he does.

[newc1531]

Yeah I think it was
