Meat Loaf Says He Can't Remember 'American Idol' Performance
Singer Has Huge Stage Fright
POSTED: 8:59 am EDT May 26, 2006
LOS ANGELES -- Remember Meat Loaf's performance Wednesday on "American Idol"? He doesn't.
Meat Loaf has absolutely gripping television stage fright, yet he still performed with Katharine McPhee on the finale.
He said the only thing he remembers is the television people telling him that he had less than two minutes before he went on, and then he was walking off the stage and thought he was going to pass out.
He has no memory of what happened in the middle. He admits he sat down and began to "cry like a baby" afterwards.
Meat Loaf said that he's surprised he didn't die of a heart attack.
Meanwhile, McPhee had told him during rehearsals she wasn't nervous at all, and Meat Loaf said he wishes he could be her for five seconds.
He said he had never sung that song live before, and as he puts it, it felt like he had "an alien busting out my chest."
Taylor Hicks won the title over McPhee, capping off the show's fifth season

Meatloaf - you'd think after all these years and as famous as he is that he'd get over the whole stage-fright thing!-
