He's trying a different direction, even though it clearly isn't working at least it is not imitating Jim poorly. If Meat made an album that sounded like the crap I hear on the radio that would be a huge joke. Meat Loaf sings Bieber, uh no. As for the charts, how many 63 year-old singers top the charts now or even get airplay?Meat should just accept that ain't going to happen. Even with Jim on board I don't foresee a chart topper when Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are what sells. It might get a little attention but at the end of the day it's two 60+ year olds in a teenager's world. | |
