  • Bono sounds perfect!!! The other guy's voice is just annoying it's like he is always hiccuping or something. Wish Bono did it by himself because he ROCKED IT!!

  • something amazing <3

  • 70's soul with british alternative, what a unique twist!

  • u2 forever bono forever!!! linda essa musica.

  • the first time I listened this I had trouble to hear who was singing what. If you listen more careful it's easy to hold them apart. But If you just listen casual you barely can hear the difference. They sound pretty similair

  • So The Edge and Brian Eno are not worth mentioning? =s

  • I like U2, and Bono Voz is the guy.

  • there is something incredibly wrong with the world if this can be allowed to exist.

  • oh my god, why does this exist?

  • Why the hell no one talks about brian eno?????

    He is playing too!

  • loveeee

  • Que mala cancion

  • haha Coldplay is a younger band than U2 and Coldplay is as big as U2 haha i don't even know why you people fight about who's better... people gives diferent meanings to the songs they hear and have diferent tastes of music to be honest i don't see nothing special on Bono's voice... i bet they were big in their times but for me Coldplay is way better (: i think they're both amazing bands :) ca'n't wait for Coldplay's 5th cd

  • @coldplaylover1 as big as u2 ?hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahhaha bless

  • I feel very embaressed for Bono and Chris Martin.

  • They are two of the greatest vocals ever. I like Cold Play but Bono and U2 are Legends or even better, they are music Gods. Althoung I love U2 I think Cold Play are the second greatest band on actuality (after U2 :)

  • @draganayer This will be for it last album... sorry... it was a joke ;)

  • It's easy, Coldplay stole a shitload of U2.

  • Total U2 sales: Over 150 million worldwide.

    Total Coldplay Sales: Around 33 million worldwide.

    I love both bands, but U2 are by far the best!!!

    Matt.

  • @HiggsFenderU2 While comparing sales figures, you have to take into accout the following fact : U2 was formed in 1976 and Coldplay in 1999 .. Do you see the difference - 23 years .. :) so stop manipulating with figures ..

  • @Ta14Gu but you are also ignoreing the fact that the 360 tour will out sell any tour from any band ever and that is present day.......i can understand people prefering coldplay to u2 but you might as well say coldplay are bigger than the beatles by saying they are bigger than u2 ...rolling stone claimed that u2 were the last of the megabands after the likes of the beatles, led zepplin, the who, stones .ect and they were probably right

  • @HiggsFenderU2

    U2 WAS FORMED IN 1976

    COLDPLAY IN 1999

    FINALY BOTH ARE GREAT...BUT I PREFFER COLDPLAY!!!

  • @HiggsFenderU2 you' are missing the part of the 25 years of advantage from U2, U2 FAN BOY :) besides that before the only way to listen music was buying cd's , LP'S and Tapes, now not many people buy cd's i bet if you compare the number of the Iligal Downloads that people get from the Internet they would be even, trust me go on last doit fm and then go to charts and see how many millions of plays coldplay have and on what place they are, most of the those chart are bassed on scrobbles :)

  • @HiggsFenderU2 Total Coldplay sales: Over 70 million worldwide. not 30 million ! and U2 is older than Coldplay.

  • bono's voice is so special so emotional especially live

  • U2 and coldplay are the two best bands in the world cant we stop comparing! Thank you! :P

  • Its a decent cover and I'm glad it was for a good cause, but nothing can top the original version of this song. I love U2 and I like Coldplay, but its not as good.

  • bono is fucking annoying. coldplay have much catchier melodys , :) i choose chris martin.

  • There should be more movement in the video. Both artists rock though.

  • coldplay is alot better

  • @drpanza And neither of them are MArvin Gaye, so shut your fucking mouth, you twat. Fuck.

  • Bonooooou! :)

  • U2 and Coldplay - Bono and Chris Martin, legends

  • Comment removed

  • moron #1: "Coldplays Great and U2 Sucks"

    moron #2: "Coldplay Sucks and U2 is awsome"

    Smart Person: U2 and Coldplay are both amazing, shut up children!

  • @im8teennow Troll_ "Coldplay and U2 SUCK!"

    Anyways. Love em both, thanks for the upload!

  • Comment removed

  • Musically I really like this cover and what they've done with the song. Vocally, Marvin Gaye has such a great range he's always going to be hard to live up to and neither of them do it for me. Chris Martin seems to have landed all the harder bits to sing.

  • good tune

  • Chris Martins voice sounds like a cross between a yodel and a hiccup! Bono is the legend here but Coldplay are a great band too.

  • Bono is a legend, Chris Martin isn't yet. But Coldplay are in a upward line, while they're already the best selling artist in the world.

    So in the end I don't know.

  • @Ajax110 They're not the best selling band in the world, U2's ' No Line On The Horizon album has already shifted 5 million and "How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' sold 13 million! Coldplay's biggest seller is their album "Vida La Vida ' which has sold something in the region of 6 million and this will eventually be surpassed in sales by U2's latest cut.

  • Okay, let's stay clear and right.

    U2 latest 3:

    -How to dismantle an atomic bomb: 9,3million sales

    -All that you can't leave behind: 12,2 million sales

    -No line on the horizon: 5,2 million

    *Coldplay latest 3:

    -A Rush OBTTH: 13,3 million sales

    -X and Y: 11 million sales

    -Viva la vida: 9,2 million sales and the most downloaded album of all time.

    I don't know where you get your information from, but this is right.

  • @Ajax110 WRONG!! Viva la vida 8.1 million

    X&Y - 10 million plus

    A Rush of Blood.. - 8.3 million

    U2 - ATYCLB - 12 million plus

    HTDAAB- 9 million plus

    ATYCLB - 12 million plus

    Totals sales U2 = 33 million

    Total sales Coldplay = 26.4 million.

  • Well actually you're wrong too. Well, I can't prove that, but if you visit wikipedia, you'll see that combined with all their album sales, Coldplay has sold over 50 million albums and released 4

    And u2 has sold over 145 million and released 12 albums I think. But, what I'm actually trying to say is you can't compare U2 and coldplay yet... U2 has years of experience, and they've been playing for years and then i mean YEARS! Coldplay has only been playing for 10-12 years and that's not much...

  • I'm sorry, but A Rush of Blood to the Head is wrong: It must be 11 million plus.

    Other Coldplay albums are correct.

    With that, you wroted ATYCLB two times:p I think it must be NLOTH --> 5 million plus.

    That makes it completely different:

    Total sales U2: 26 million.

    Total sales Coldplay 29,1 million.

  • Come back to me when they have won 25 grammys and hold the highest grossing tour in history. Case closed.

  • Of course U2 is bigger than Coldplay ever has been. But it's not fair to compare 25 grammy's to Coldplay's 7 grammy's. U2 has been in the buiseness for more than 30 years. Coldplay for ten years.

    Is Coldplay as big as U2? No!

    Are they in about 10/15 years? They can!

  • And The Joshua Tree over 25 million sales and Achtung Baby over 15 million sales..

  • That was in the no-download era.

  • haha welll im obsesssed with chris martin and i dont even knoww you im like OBSESSSED idkk?

  • I'm pretty obsessed, too. :P

    I am just kidding, i dont expect you to send me anything.

    ive been obsessed for 7 years, lol. what a talent!

  • haha sorry :)

  • you should get me an autograph or chris' shirt. i love him! hes gotten me through some tough times. like bono too, but i like chris' voice better and i like his personality too(more down to earth)

    i would love you forever if you djid. :'(

  • my sisters godmothers freind knows bono who knows chris martin so i have a connection to both and am going to meet chris someday. and maybe bono. :D its glorious

  • my biggest wish is to meet these two men. i hate you!

  • U2 and Coldplay equal... I really really can't choose.

  • choose Coldplay. :P

  • the all time best bands meet, and play this AMAZING song!

    <3 coldplay and <3 U2

  • chris martin makes this song

  • First time I listened to this, wasn't paying attention and only thought Chris was singing, haha :D Wasn't until I played it again that I could differentiate the voices. AMAZING song, though. Wish there was an mp3 :(

  • Was this the song they played together in Bruno?

  • dove of peace ! :)

  • Surprisingly good. Coldplay still beats U2 any day though. :P

  • Cool!! Coldplay meets U2!

  • A great Song.

    Coldplay and U2, the best bands of the wordl.

  • Hell ya!

    Chris is pretty good too...

    ciao

  • The two most talented singers in the world finally come together and do a flawless duet. They are both truly gifted beyond anyone's words. I think they are both the most gifted, talented, inspirational singers of our time. Beautiful.

  • @love2dance345 I´d just squeeze Thom Yorke there and u´d have the three ;p

  • It was a joke -- !!

  • this song was supposed to be in the spirit of helping people- so sorry its not some break up song for all you dumbasses who are too busy being absolute rude FUCKS, to enjoy. It is a beautiful song, and it is wonderful to see these two phenomenal artists collaborating.

    and it is even greater having two such talented people actually caring about the masses of poor so far below them.

  • love this song!)

  • lol has why the song is shite

  • You are a cunt... with respect....

  • doesn't make sense, she only likes guys.

  • an your mum gives the best jonno....

  • The melody Chris Voice The lyrics=REFECTION

  • caps noob, I say U2 is better, and I a big U2 fan, but that chrismartin or something is not bad. Coldplay can make somebeuty songs but not better than U2.

  • I love these two guys...but I dnt get wats goin on...Bono calling Martin a wanker? whats goin on between those two? Can anyone shed some light on this for me? U2 and Coldplay forever! (more on U2 for me though)

  • Read Coldplay's website and/or twitter. It's all being done in good humor.

  • it was a joke thats all

  • yah, just read about it a few days ago and saw d actual interview...stupid media exaggerated the whole thing...well glad thats all cleared up haha, cnt w8 for the NLOTH tour and Coldplay's new album!

  • What's NLOTH?

  • No Line On The Horizon

  • And what is that?

  • U2's Latest Album

  • Thanks for sharing this great vid.

  • love these remakes by great musicians!

  • I love this cover!! they're perfect!

  • two legends, one song..... brilliant

  • two of the most famous people in the world. well, i dont know about bono, hahahahaha!

  • I'm really surprised at how well their voices blend. Honestly I would forget who was singing at times. I didn't expect that. The high range gives it away, but in the lower register they sound very similar.

  • The two most gorgeous voices in the world! This makes my day!

  • this song had a story of course, it tells about wars and sufferance of poeple ,chris said :what's going on ? and i answer ,look to ghaza strip and see how poeple are killing there (this's an example ),i love this song..

  • I love Chris, I love Bono, this song is just perfect! They're so great...

    I love them so much!

  • dont know but it sounds excellent¡¡

  • when was this recorded?

  • how hard is it to spell the name britney

  • its not hard to spell its as easy as when you fuck

  • please, where can i get this song?

    thanks

  • no se pude decir mas es genial!!!

  • GENIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • Love U2, love Coldplay. This song is perfect.

  • love u2

    love bono

  • i love chris martin!!!! he is so awesome!and bono of course, who doesnt?

  • Two terrific people and singers!

  • Yeah, Bono kind of lost his high notes after his decade of smoking in the nineties.

    Love U2.

    Coldplay is cool, but i don't think they measure up to the shear amount of different sounds U2 have made through their 3 decades.

    WATCH MORE TV

    WATCH MORE U2be

  • I would've never thought this song would be covered by these two fine specimens ;-)

  • i love this song;; i like the all stars tribute too

  • brilliant!

  • Awesome!

  • good !

  • The music is much more suited for Bono's voice then Chris's voice. Chris has a great voice, but the music is more suited for Bono's style of singing.

  • Bono makes pretty much anything sound great, heard him singing some very out of character songs by various artists over the years.

  • bellissima canzone,2 voci magnifiche

  • lets not argue and agree they are both good

  • Coldplay is a mastermind when it comes to music. There mellow and low tone really works for them. Coldplay is the answer to my questions when no1 else has the answers. If its on love or life I can listen to coldplay and find the missing piece to the puzzle... and for that I will ALWAYS LOVE COLDPLAY.

  • Coldplay are the best band of this decade!

    people remember the beatles when they think of the 60s, and we'll all remember coldplay when we think of the 2000s ten-twenty years from now Peace from holland

  • This is a good cover - but I think Bono could've done this alone.

    His voice is so soothing. Chris Martin's isn't so great. It's far to whinny for my taste.

    You people probably think otherwise. But, Chris' voice is okay in some areas.

  • This is such a beautifull song, i dont anyone who doesnt like it! I Love Coldplay (And respect for U2) their such legends! their songs will live forever...and this song touches so many people and their lives...legends :) BonoAndU2 peace m8

  • they both got great voices. Super combo :)

  • Bono and Chris should always sing together!

    They sound HOT!!

  • First video of coldplay and someone else where each other's fans aren't saying that other ones are gays good job.

    Great song

    Love coldplay

    like and respect U2

  • @ amazing voices

  • i like the voice of chris martin much more! <3

  • I do love coldplay. I like their sound e off course chris martins voice. I love the way he sings, shiver when i listen to him. U2 are a great band, with many years of success in the world. I think that coldplay are the new U2 only in success, not in style. I hope they never change.

  • Chris MArtin and Bono's Voices are very similar to each other...Maybe its just me !!

  • No. Maybe it's just them^^

  • NO they're tottaly different bono shouts at high tones and Chris goes to fallsetto. I love both of them but I preffer Chris

  • Whatever, what a double to have singing, it sounds fookin great!!!

  • Simply Harmony

  • I don't think Coldplay will be the new U2, are both good bands. Bono and Chris' voices are a bit similar but, I'm young, and let me say : Chris' voice is sexier and in this song is fabulus!

  • wow, chris martin's voice is perfect in this song!

  • wow... the love of my life (Bono) and my 2nd favorite musician (Chris).... what a perfect, PERFECT combination!!!!! :)

  • beautiful!

  • dos dioses.......bono chris,chris bono

  • Coldplay > U2 but U2 is great too ;)

  • *mind boggled*

    I can't figure out where Bono ends and Chris begins. D:

  • Bono > Chris Martin

    Coldplay are a good band, but they come nowhere close to U2

    And I got no problem if Coldplay try to sound U2, after all, U2 has made a new sound for many bands and many more in the future

    It is somewhat like how Led Zeppelin founded Hard Rock

  • yeah your right in some ways u2 are way bigger than coldplay, but i dont really find that coldplay are "copying" their sound. Coldplay has their own unique sound like no one elses.But thats just me i guess. Cheers

  • In some ways Coldplay is the new U2. I think they're both insanely talented bands.

  • Coldplay is Coldplay and U2 is U2, final

    I got no problem if Coldplay sound like U2, but it irritates me when I hear people saying that Coldplay is the new U2.

    Maybe in the next generation, there will be more bands that try to sound like U2

  • I've heard a WAY different version of this song, sounded almost techno-ish, really really slow though. Clearly wasn't Bono/Coldplay, if anyone knows who covered this song in a slower, more dramatic way let me know.

  • Found it, A Perfect Circle's version of this is what I was looking for.

  • Yeah.. if you prefer the original, check out: Y9KC7uhMY9s

  • There both amazing singers. Both amazing bands.

  • they are both very, very good. and i guess it depends on your state of mind to like some lyrics or not. do not forget that lyrics usually come from one's life experience

  • do u know where i can get this song?! help me plz!

  • Well I like very much Coldplay by the Lyrics and melody of their songs but of U2 I like only the Music cause the Lyrics of Coldlplay explains more what people fellings about love and U2 no so much but U2 still ROCKS BUT sorry in my peronal opionon Coldplay is better. But dont waste your time if you likeU2 or Coldplay is fine you have a great music opinion.... XD

  • that comment surprises me i like both bands but i dont think anybody with the exception of lennon comes close to bono when it comes to lyrics even martin himself has said this.

  • Well I am no saying Bono has made bad lyrics, I say that I like more the Lyrics by Chirs and well I dont pay many attention to Bono LyricsXD is cause many Coldplay songs describes me in a certain way and that why I like them more...But people can opinion different cause each one have their differences for example I say Chris make better lirycs cause they describe me and Bono doesnt but he might be more poetic and it describes other things,& etc Well in my point of view I really LIKE COLDPLAY!

  • I like both, but U2 i a little better in my opinion. :)
