I thought they were using it just for the drama. Then the Idol doctor came out on stage--lol, it was too much. But after watching the show, there was clearly something wrong with Meat Loaf. Not just his voice. He didn't move around very much, or at all.
I believe, and I think the honesty of having the doc come out is to show that he’s playing a little hurt. But honestly even so, he, to me, made the grade. Even if I didn’t know he had the throat bleed, he beat out the other two. You guys probably know the results but I don’t so I won’t look on here any more for a few hours, but I caught your trap door intro!! Very funny!
