Not a Meatloaf song, but it had the Meatloaf sound. It was "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," written and produced by Jim Steinman for Celine Dion.

Steinman songs fuse pop, rock, and Broadway theater of the mind. Some people hate it, I like most of it. I think "It's All Coming Back..." is too durn long.

I wasn't watching Meat and Kat, I was on the road listening on a Walkman with TV sound. Meat sounded awful.

Jim Steinman and Meatloaf invented the "Meatloaf sound," collaborating brilliantly on "Bat Out of Hell."

According to several sources, Meat Loaf and Steinman have a love-hate relationship. They make magic when they work together, but don't seem to like sharing credit for it.

Steinman songs fuse pop, rock, and Broadway theater of the mind.

That's an insult. Those songs might sound like Broadway, but his ear always aspires to Opera...just like Meatloaf's voice.

May 24, 09:01 PM

LOS ANGELES, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Live from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. the American Idol 5 season finale blew fans away with a surprise collaboration between the multi-Platinum rock band Live and Idol fan favorite Chris Daughtry. As a huge fan of Live, Daughtry asked the band to join him on stage for the season finale in a surprise performance of Live's current single "Mystery" from their new album Songs From Black Mountain. Available now digitally for download, Songs From Black Mountain will hit stores June 6th.

American Idol viewers may remember the controversy earlier in the season when Daughtry performed a strikingly similar rendition of Live's 2001 cover of the Johnny Cash classic "I Walk the Line." As the criticism grew, Live lead singer Ed Kowalczyk praised Daughtry saying, "I thought he did a great job with the song. There's no doubt he's a talented performer and I hope he goes far." Lending further support, Kowalczyk contacted Daughtry directly and a mentorship was born.

Live's illustrious career has seen the band sell more than 20 million records. In their 15 years together they have had two Billboard Top 200 #1 albums -- Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi. Five #1 singles including, "I Alone," "Lightning Crashes" and "Selling the Drama" as well as nine Top 10 singles.

Wrapping up a U.S. tour this month, Live will begin a headline tour of Europe in June followed by a tour of the U.S. and Canada in July with dates to be announced shortly.
