It does not matter if he is, meatloaf is getting on a bit now, i've noticed him on a couple of talk show's and he shakes really badly, meat loaf is a legend and always will be, he has the most amazing vocals....
it isnt the recording. there are differences especially with marion. and meatloaf hasn't been able to put alot of effort into his shows like he used to due to health problems which is why he cancels so many shows.
All that being said, let's not lose sight of the bigger picture here. Trying to pick up audio clues to sove the lipsyncing controversy over this video was a lot of fun, because "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is the kind of song I don't mind listening to over and over. I'd be very interested in knowing what other people can hear, but in my mind the fact that people are not all convinced of the live nature of this performance is testimony to the talent and skill of both Marvin (Meat) and Marion.
The difference in Marion's voice is not as extreme, but you can hear a somewhat 'serrated edginess', and ever so slightly shriller and more rushed through vocals, compared to the studio version. Again, this is a SMALL difference only. She still sounds great, it's just that the studio version has smoother and silkier, more polished, vocals. Those were recorded over and over until they were just right, and had the benefit of sound engineering. To come this close live tells you she can really sing.
The timbre is different, with more of an 'from the inside of a barrel' kind of resonance - kind of like after recovering from a bout of chest congestion with hacking cough. Think of how your voice sounded (and felt), if you've ever had that. It feels deeper, with extra (raspy) resonance from soreness. Or just do a deep-chest 'ugh', and you'll hear that sound. Singers of Meat's calibre know how to use their pipes, but soreness can impart unwanted roughness - especially to resonance-heavy vocals.
There was no faulty demuxing here, because the synchronization was spot-on; but not only for the vocals. If you check the pianist's hand movements (at the beginning), you notice he plays the keys in sync - so if this is a sync job, he either does very well or only the vocal tracks are being sync'ed. Listen to the quality of Meat's voice on both videos. It sounds raspier on the live one, especially from 1:16 to 1:20 (live, 1:24 to 1:28 on the mini-opera), like he had a sore windpipe (not throat).
It can be hard to tell sometimes, since singers who are used to singing the same song over and over can lip-sync very well. On the other hand, they can also produce the same vocals - in tempo - with great consistency. Further, faulty demuxing of the audio and video tracks can cause the synchronization to be off, without any lip-syncing going on at all. But if you listen carefully, you can hear things like differences in the reflected sound of the hall or in the condition of the singers' voices.
Well, after listening to this version side by side with the studio version (from the music video/mini-opera), a few times - and the first minute and a half, several times more - I have to say that I agree with you am85213, ...you don't know what lip-syncing is.
If you know Meat...He never sings like his recording when he sings live...All of his other live performances has a very very obvious difference to the recording..This is lip-synched im sure..The slight difference could be due to this recorded on stage..At 2:28, he sings with a slight falsetto found in the recording and that is almost impossible to get pitch perfect live
ok just to set this all straight, my uncle is the sound producer for bbc strictly come dancing and he would like to say that considering he runs the sound for this show he can tell you that these two were deffinately not running a lip sync track. It is them singing live. Also this version is subtly different from the original with a couple of changes to the harmonies specially for BBC SCD.
hurllo....its meatloaf,the guy who sang wif pavarotti LIVE and you think he cant sing??marion raven has done so many LIVE performances as well...stop accusing that the lip-synched.
PRAT! Course it's not lip synced, it's a live show! They just happen to be 2 very talented singers who can sing the song the same way each time they sing it!
Don't be you stupid , meat loaf is a great singer it likes Marion too, so if u is here to "find mystakes" at his musics go to hear another singer, because he's the myto, his is one of the best singer what i know...
So, if it/s playback or not, he made this music and know had showed it in his Lives shows, if u wasn't there, Shut up!
Meat loaf still the best-one in all the world ( Im brazilia )
ella es fabulosa... no se xq no ha tenido tanta proyeccion como otros artistas, como la ,medicore de Shakira o Jesica simpson por decir algunas, que no sirven para nada y son famosas solo x publicidad
I'm so glad this wasn't performed when they where dancing! I mean come on Nobody would be watching the dancers they'd be entranced by Marion and Meatloaf
Nobody chose anything. Meat put the song on hold because BOOH 2 already had a duet, "I Would Do Anything for Love". Steinman's producer didn't want the song to wait so it was put out for other artist to sing it. Sadly it was Celine, who did a bad job. Think about, Steinman wrote the song for who? Meat. Why? Because hes a great singer. Not Celine.(Period)
Steinman WROTE this song in 1983 and GAVE it to Meat Loaf in 1986, 3years before your Pandora's Box. Besides the only reason Pandora recorded this song was because they were Steinman's band (which was a failure like his band before Fire Inc.). Anyways, originally the song belongs to Meet Loaf. Nobody cares about Pandora's Box!
He didn't choose not to do it...why whould he do it now then :P Jim Steinman CHOSE to give it to Celine instead.She's the best singer in the world and those are probably the worst.its playback and still its worst performance i've heard on ANY song by ANYONE
for all those that dont know this song was originaly wrote for meat loaf for bat out of hell 2, he chose not to do it and gave it to dion ... hes basicly singing his own song and sings it better imo
i think that your wrong meat loaf has more nad he is a far better singer than celine dion, all she does is screem she wrecks the song. meat loaf's version rocks and is the better out the two
