I disagree. I really think that Jim is trying hard to write extraordinaire hit songs. I really agree with Scaramouche here. Lamberts could really pull of Steinman song. Lamberts got the vocal power and range for it. He's young with alot of charisma. I would love to see him doing "I*D Do Anything For Love" or a brand new Steinman. This could really be a great oppertunity for Jim!
