Zooropa wasn't as good as Bomb or ATYCLB.
I disagree. Bono's falsetto used to be very controlled in the 90's. His full voice wasn't as good as it is now, but his falsetto was nice. Now his full voice is much better but his falsetto has become very weak, the ending to WOWY live is evidence of that...His falsetto IS back to normal but not on this track.
Zooropa had it all some of Bono's best and some of his worse all in one album. It had his best falsettos ever recorded, but then it also had Dirty Day(which the remixes blow this version away).Zooropa wasn't as good as Bomb or ATYCLB.

YouTube - Jay-Z - DOA (Death Of Autotune) [FULL/CDQ]for his falsetto made a come back for WITS, so I'm not sure what happened on this track.
I'm quite sure he was *trying* for falsetto on Crazy. Those squawks sounded like Bono putting on his 'crazy' voice for the song, and as much as I enjoy the tune overall, those moments made me cringe a bit.

WITS falsetto (the chorus) is probably Edge singing as well. Bono should let him take over the falsetto.

I agree about the falsetto, that's the main thing I disliked about CT from the beginning. I think it's a shame it kind of ruins the song......
As for the falsetto: I've never been a fan of falsetto singing. Never, by anyone, not only Bono. I didn't like his falsetto back in the 90s and I'm not crazy about it now. I don't get why people want to hear Lemon again. It's a good song, but the falsetto doesn't give my anything. If he cannot handle it, he shouldn't try it, that's my opinion. I like Bono singing in his low register much much more and I want more of that. That's just my personal opinion. With falsetto, I always think of Justin Timberlake
