Much better than Mary J Blige's annoying cover. At least Damien isn't screaming like an out of key banshee.

Cover version's are not meant to compete with the original's. They're meant to put another slant on the songs.

Bad idea to cover One after Mr. Cash.

Get out much?

How can you not know this is U2's song????

@gordonu2

After listening to these songs it becomes apparent of how much U2 is just on another plane in time and space.

At no point in this cover album does anyone come remotely close to U2's energy level, and these are some pretty good artists on here.

Bella e struggente, ma è impossibile superare l'originale-

@sk8aleksk8 I'm sorry but there's this thing called Google. Use it.

@fmallis Bono himself could be desribed the same way! MJB's duet with Bono on this song was an expression of the soul music that inspired U2 to make The Joshua Tree and Rattle&Hum, and a passionate rendition that transcends key. This version is maybe more true to the original's tone and I like it as well. Well done.

@sk8aleksk8 U2 made the original. There's a whole story behind the band almost splitting up, and coming back together to record this song.
