Скачать или смотреть Andrew Polec Sings Bat Out of Hell for the Last Time

This is me (Andrew Polec) performing Bat Out Of Hell at the 25th Annual Lotte Lenya Competition in Rochester, New York at The Eastman School of Music (Kilbourn Hall).

The performance happened on April 29th 2023 and may very well be the last time I perform this song (I cannot begin to explain how hard this song is to sing successfully). I think Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf would be having a good chuckle that their song made it to the hallowed halls of education and classical music.

I've debated whether to share this for a while - this performance was posted on a fan page last year and I was body shamed for taking my shirt off. I was shocked to read those comments. They definitely hurt.

I'm a big fan of body positivity and I'm hoping to post this here in hopes that we can have a better conversation around Steinman's music and Meat Loaf's beautiful, original execution of the song. I do my best to honour them in this rendition. Miss you guys and sending lots of love.
