Great video, thanks! Even with poor sound quality, Ellen's voice is amazing. Great to see her singing in person and not just seeing Karla lip-syncing over her voice! She deserves true credit for all her work.
Ellen's said that she didn't do the video with Meatloaf or tour with him, because he was sexually harassing her. People think Karla DeVito is the singer on PARADISE because she did the video. Weird & ironic that Ellen is not in that video. It's her on the album of course, with her back turned towards the camera. Another blunder on her part for people not to know it's her.
But, even though I agree with what you said, having see Karla and Meat singing this, I have to say she did the song justice. And I might add it was not synced at the concerts, because Meat always changed it some.
@KeltiKevin Oh yeah. I see the mistake I made. It was supposed to say she was a fill-in UNTIL Markie Post's contract with another show expired. Great eyes. Thanks.
She wasn't a fill-in for Markie Post for cripes dake...she had a severe drug problem and they had to fire her. I stopped watching Night Court after that, she and Harry had a great chesmistry.
Ellen didn't get ditched. Before Meat decided to go on tour, Ellen was already doing theater productions in LA as well as getting her own record deal so SHE made the decision not to tour. As a result, they brought in Carla.
Thats right. By the time Meat's BOOH hit the touring circuit, Karla (note that she uses a "K") came in. She did a solid job though there were differences for sure. In any case I prefer Ellen's vocal by far.
@muntzmanj154 He is singing it, there are too many personalized variations. He is just a really good Meatloaf impersonator. Maybe that explains the name of the band being "Anything for Loaf"?
is their band the wife beaters, I mean COME ON, if I was going to go up on stage I wouldn't be wearing something that looked like I pulled it from the hamper
i'm not saying wear a tux or something like that, but at least a nice shirt
at the time it was around holloween and they were i costume ellen was a businesswomen or something. and the man was Meatloaf (allegedly). the band is called Anything for Loaf
Ellen had a tit job.

Ellen's 'Nightout' is one of the most underrated albums of all time. Great to see her still belting it out after all these years.

Ellen Foley was the singer in the meatloaf video
Carla DeVito appeared in it and lipsynched to Ellens voice
Apparently Carla was more theatrical so Ellen got ditched

OMG that IS HER, I didn't know that
I always LOVED her voice on the original recording, too bad she doesn't hook up with meatloaf so they could perform together

I always did like Ellen Foley over Karla DeVito and most people don't know that Karla only did the video. Ellen was the one that sang on the album.

Ellen Foley had a couple of great albums in the early 80's that were good. She worked with Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson among others.
