Announcement on Oprah.

[Zoomerang96]

performing on the oprah show?

wow. i thought all this was at the president's party.

performing on the oprah show is an altogether different story. maybe my mum and grandma and fill me in as to how exciting it was.

 

[last unicorn]

To be fair, the duet with Alicia Keys on Don't Give Up was quite good, I liked that version and the simple performance they did.

Bono and Will.i.am Rehearse "America's Song"

damn, meant to post this in a different area. sorry.

 

[last unicorn]

^ I predict most people here will HATE it.

Thank you for the link.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Oh...that sounds...not so good.

 

[purpleoscar]

Make sense for an inauguration. Everyone's chomping at the bit for the new album.

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks for the link! Again, B's voice sounded on!


But yeah, I think it's safe to say most people here will despise it.

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah his voice sounds

 

[catlhere]

Any U2 is good U2 to me!
I'm excited to see them come back into the spotlight with any new material. (more NLOTH than some Oprah song though)

 

[boston]

Il give it a listen

See what happens....open mind

Thanks so much for the link . . . . a little bit sinatra-ish . . . which is no bad thing indeed - can't wait to hear the rest of it

 

[Peterrrrr]

[Peterrrrr]

So it is on right now? Is there any internet site that broadcast this?
Anyone record this?

 

[kassandra]

It's on now Usher is on.

 

[Rachel D.]

Sounds like it's gonna be corny, as per usual with Oprah songs.

Is anyone going to put this on YouTube? I don't know if I wanna sit through the whole show just to see Bono sing for a little bit, probably at the end. Is he gonna talk, too?

 

[OrARoundabout]

Bono wasn't even there

 

[kkaider]

That was really craptastic. I think I just puked in mouth a little.

 

[kassandra]

Yeah, not good. Oprah enjoyed it though.

The link dosnt work

 

[Rachel D.]

So Bono's not even on the show? Did he even sing? I'm watching the beginning of the show and all they're doing now is gushing about Obama. With Ashton Kutcher.

 

[jphelmet]

he was on via prerecorded singing.

the song was basically america worship.

fantastically cheesy, over the top, terrible celeb collaboration song.

 

[Carek1230]

well this makes me hate on oprah even more then, thanks for the forewarning tho, so i won't waste the time. woot! an extra hour of studying!

Also... the song sucks.

 

[LemonMelon]

After that, I like GOYB approximately 10 times more than I already did.

 

[BVS]

What a shitastic song...

I'm glad it wasn't made a big deal or that Bono had that big of a role in it...

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

That was horrible and as much as I like Obama and the hope he represents I really don't know how an Irishman, a Brit and a Canadian can sing so passionately about a foreign country (despite what it may mean to them)
