| I have to agree Jim hasn't got the voice for his songs - that's why he used Meat Loaf in the first place after all. Some of Jim's fans do tend to treat his demos with a reverence that they perhaps don't deserve, but I find them 'interesting' in that they show how Jim envisaged the song sounding when he wrote it. For instance, there's no doubting TDE have better voices, but I prefer the simplicty of Jim's 'Still the Children...' for much the same reasons as Pud. It just sounds better, less cluttered and carries more emotional weight - not so much due to Jim's vocals, more the stark nature of the arrangement. The only song where I think Jim's voice really works and can't imagine anyone doing much better is 'Wonderful Toys'. It's not a song that demands a great singer, more a great wordsmith with the right attitude and I think Jim nails it perfectly. | |
