Where was that reported? Source? I just heard KAt interviewed about her performance with Meatloaf. Evidently they approached her a couple of weeks back amd told her that Meatloaf wanted her to sing with him on his new CD. She said at first she glad, someone wanted her to sing with them. Then, she started thinking about it and wasn't so sure. Said she didn't know who Meatloaf was. She said she was surprised by how theatrical Meatloaf was and that she had to bring herself to his level. I got the impression she was trying to be 'polite'.
Went to Boston Conservatory, studied music, didn't know who Meatloaf is? He actually belts the songs out and dominates the sound, much like Katherine does. They actually do make a good power-duo.
Katherine could do worse for inspiration than someone who has had loyal fans for over 20 years to perform with.
Meatloaf's stuff from the 70's and 80's was very theatrical. He is clasically trained IIRC. I despise his music because I worked somewhere with a jukebox and drunk idiots decided to play "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" 1 million times in a row every weekend. I'd rather carve my eyes out with a spoon than listen to that song. But I digress. He music is very theatrical so I think Kat was being very honest (and she was correct despite his horrible performance last night).
