Mary J Blige & U2 - One Love

[Inner Smile]

Absolutely loved this to bits

Me and my friends were convinced this went "You don't care, alphabet"

Not as good as the original, or even as good as Mica Paris's version, but still very good.

Genuinely love MJB on this. I assume it came about when Bono was captured in the audience at the Grammy's being absolutely awe struck at No More Drama performed so extremely it basically contradicted the sentiment (not that I was objecting). I appreciate the Mica shout out, I love that one too.

I always thought that too!

I prefer Mary's solo version to this or the original.

Mary's solo version for me too, though the U2 one isn't bad either - not that much on Achtung Baby is.

Time has dimmed it somewhat for me, but it's still one hell of a vocal.

IT'S CALLED ONE.

anyway all versions of this song are incredible but Mary's with Bono on backing vox is probably the ultimate. she makes it completely triumphant and euphoric. it still gives me shivers!

LOL at the solo Mary version being listed as 'One - without Bono vocals' on Spotify

Mary has a solo version? I'll need to check that out
