| "Is Nothing Sacred" is a potential hit song that has not been recorded in a way that fulfills its potential. It's one of the few Steinman songs that really has radio-friendly Adult Contemporary ballad written all over it, because there's nothing all that weird or theatrical about it. I have the "Very Best Of Meat Loaf" set and that recording isn't too great. The vocals sound like the singer is failing in health. I heard on youtube the recording of Meat Loaf and Patti Russo doing the song. That's OK, nothing special. Vocals are just OK, the backing music is unexceptional. Russell Watson's recording has the best vocals of anything that's released. But the backing track lacks the musical power of Jim's best productions. Still a very good vocal. The Celine Dion demo is very good, but that of course was never released. I wonder if that could have been a hit. It woulda been on the same album as James Horner's "My Heart Will Go On" so the exposure would have been significant. Does anybody know why the Celine version was not released? The Karine Hannah demo sounds similar, but is not as good as the Celine Dion demo vocally. She has a weaker voice than Celine. I've heard M.L.T.M. do the song on the bootlegs from Joe's Pub. Probably the worst rendition of the song. The guy is pretty much yelling the song. His Broadway voice seems to be too Broadway for the song. | |
