That's very interesting. About the delivery of the songs.

I think you are right to call "I'd Lie For You" a "piece of crapness". Diane Warren obviously thought that she could write a Jim song but she failed. When I first heard it, I thought: "Oh my goodness. Jim Steinman wrote a boring song." I soon found out that it was not a Jim Steinman song. I feel guilty that I even thought that.

I can't believe that "I'd Lie For You" went to number 2 in the UK charts. Almost a number one.

There is such a huge difference between "I'd Lie For You" and "Anything For Love" and they had the cheek to connect the two videos.

I am amazed that Desmond Child didn't come up with anything but crap. He has written hits for bands like Aerosmith. Meat Loaf must have been very disappointed.
