Consider the facts:

-Most musicians and artists are liberal.
-The backing band chose to play "America" in a key awkward to the human voice.


Deliberate SABOTAGE? Probably not.

LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!

Ya, That's messed up - I know he can sing - that's not singing - I found this very odd.

He USED to be able to sing.

He "sang" somewhat similarly at our equivalent to the Super Bowl here in Australia. He did not take criticism gracefully.

Welcome to the club, mate! Great first-published viddy, love me some loaf!

Oh shit.....I just watched this loaf!! *wtf......WHAT THE FUUUUUCK???!!

Dude....I wouldn't wish that flaming airline disaster on ANY Mormon!!

Oh man....yer onto something distpiuafurtdy.....Wonder if he jacked this shit on porpoise??

Anyone with a flimsy, two-octave range can wing that song in any key-

well, he is named "meat loaf" afterall.
while he had some hard-driving hits in the 70's and his tits were awesome in fight club, he is now living up to his moniker of a meat product that is greasy, fattening, stanky, and a kinda weird.

Love the description of the GF as antipodean Superbowl. Fuck rugby league.>> ^Kofi:

I love how halfway through Meatloaf's death curdling scream...singing...thing, Romney sort of looks at him as if Meatloaf may be having a heart attack or stroke.

I thought Meat Loaf was dead...

I don't buy for a minute that this is legit. Someone dubbed the sound.

I've heard Meatloaf too many times to think he would perform in public sounding like that. He's far too much of a perfectionist for that.

No, it's legit... for proof that he is past it (and yet the female singer is not), check out the 2011 Australian Grand Final performance

It's legendarily terrible.

Get ready to eat those words @Stormsinger as I present thee with http://youtu.be/XZdiaFXW2U8 .. My favorite is 6:10 in.

He claimed that people who criticised his performance were "jerks" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-10-23/meat-loaf-labels-afl-jerks/3595620

He also cited that he was the only performer of his era singing in the original key. Fact is though that isn't singing. Hell, key or not, his timing is truly horrible.

"Too much of a perfectionist".

Whoops!

His name is Robert Paulson. His name... is Robert Paulson.

Why has nobody mentioned that everyone else on stage also sucked?

^It is a true festival of *terrible.

1. Rename this to "The Vocal Powerhouse That WAS Meat Loaf"
2. After watching this and the AFL Grand Final 2011, my expert amateur opinion is that he's losing his hearing.

He definitely has the range and the voice, but it's hitting the wrong notes, and he's not gauging it right. It's not like he's Axl Rose who's lost his raspiness, Axl is hitting the right notes (albeit like a schoolboy falsetto).

Not entirely unlikely for Meat Loaf; his age makes him likely to lose his hearing. Add to that being a musician surrounded by loud music: very likely. He's putting in the energy, but doesn't have that feedback loop that those belted out vocals are missing the mark. He may as well be covering his ears and screaming. Which is kind of what it sounds like.

My two cents.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Holy smokes - almost feel sorry for Mittington being surrounded by that.

You know it's quality when you can watch it a day later and you still find it hilarious.

This is so.. So sad. I like the Meatloaf-that-was.


(And I liked Axl too)

In four days he can fire Loaf and move on! Time is money.

The fat bastard is lucky he didn't give himself a heart attack.

That would explain it...

Only the celebrities who rotted half their brain through drug-use or never had much to begin with support Romney.

Well, that applies to most Americans who support him I suppose.

I don't see the difference between now Meatloaf and yesteryear Meatloaf. My ears are bleed regardless

I would.>> ^chingalera:

Oh shit.....I just watched this loaf!! wtf......WHAT THE FUUUUUCK???!!
Dude....I wouldn't wish that flaming airline disaster on ANY Mormon!!

I can't HEAR YOU! So you must be admitting you were wrong.

I suppose it could be...but it hurts to see one of the best voices of our (my, anyway) lifetimes lose it. How long ago was Bat Out of Hell 3 recorded...because he was nothing short of perfect for that one. That's a lot of damage to show up in 6 short years.
