Thinking of the J-Lo Bono duet makes me cry.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Everytime I see a J-Lo video, or hear a song on the radio... i come close to tears, knowing that Bono actually recorded a duet with this no talent hack who only has a career 'cause she's half naked in every single video.

 

[IWasBored]

it is sad, i know

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i confess...i'm really sick and tired of people starting threads about this subject.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i bet good money this thread will be closed soon.

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

theres no reason why this thread should be closed.

i fucking hate pleba, but i dont see all those stories about bono boning edge getting closed.

it goes both ways.

headache, i share your pain.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i know this shouldn't be closed. i only said that because i saw a thread in EYKIW closed because this topic was mentioned. oh well.

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

miss velvet dress, i know what your talking about, and i agree.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

and just for the record i agree with you and headache.

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

youve always been a good poster, in my opinion...

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

oh i try.

 

[beegee]

it's really not actually a confession, either.

a confession is something you are afraid to tell other people.

this is something i would shout in the streets.

i agree on everything said here.

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

be strong people. theres a lot of obsessed people here who think youve gotta go with whatever u2 does and to disagree with their decisions is sac-religous. make up your own minds.

thanks for the hug diamond.

Ha. Your sarcasm is shining as bright as usual Wanderah. I dont get what all the fuss is over people thinking its a bad idea. The duet IS a bad idea, in my mind. The cause is not, charity is a good thing, but who here can honestly say they like this idea because they like J-Lo? Not many of us. That only leaves Bono. I dont like Bono enough to think this justifies a duet with a singer I personally dont like. To be honest, I dont really care who he sings with, but I dont like J-Lo, so expect I wont like this either, but I'll wait and see.
But that said, I'm not going to seek the single out when its released, nor will I purposely avoid it. I dont like J-Lo, and if I dont like the song when I finally hear it, I'm not going to pretend to unless its good.
All we can all talk about at this stage is the concept. We'll have to wait for judgement on the song. But I reckon the concept sucks.

Imo.

not again...

be strong people. theres a lot of obsessed people here who think youve gotta go with whatever u2 does and to disagree with their decisions is sac-religous. make up your own minds.

There's also a lot of people here who think you have to oppose Bono's decisions - anything from his political side to his solo musical things - (actually, while we're at it, interesting those would be the same people often who bash U2's music lately) and oppose music collaborations if it involves "uncool" mainstream artists. (before even hearing the song - so much for making up your own mind)

I agree with Angela: the cause is what matters here.

*edit*: I really think there are a very few people who go with everything U2 did in the past anyway.

If it can stay calm, it will stay open.

u2girl, i dontthink really understand what were saying. u2 is as mainstream as it gets - and thats fine. there is such a thing as GOOD mainstream music. but there is also such a thing as absolute trash that is the bile of the industry - and j. lo is the epitimy of it.

 

[Tech]

Bono knows what he is doing. Lets give him credit for being smart. So whatever comes out of this collaboration should be interesting if nothing else!!!

Hm...whoever said there's no such thing as good mainstream music?

I'm just saying it's Bono's business what he does (be it politics or music), and I don't see why it should be shredded to pieces in advance - especially considering it's for a good cause. If there was What's going on with far less annoyance from people I don't see why all the bashing now.

(btw there's a difference between saying "I don't like J. Lo's music" and "she's a skank". Using the skank logic would be like saying a member of a rock band can't have a normal family life, or can't be faithful)

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

j. lo cant have a normal family life and is a skank because shes gone through more men than a diarreah-stricken man goes through toilet paper.

and no, its not his business, wanna know why? because he tries and makes it his fans business too. he wants us to buy the single, and theres no chance of that happening over here at my end. do i need to hear the song to know it will suck? i could answer that by asking, do you think the weather will be cold in alaska in december?

no.

...and yes I find this whole jennifer lopez duet thing quite unsettling indeed. The other band members need to kick some sense into Bono I think, before he ends up making an ass out of himself.

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

I agree with yeah headache. I'm sorry, I can not see any positive things out of this. Yes, it's for charity, but come on! Bono could have chosen to work with someone else not JLO. I mean JLO, she has to be one of the least talented artists out there.

I don't buy the "bono is smart... he knows what he is doing.." stuff either.. BLAH! I mean JLO??? J-freakin' LO!!!! Come on!!

I'm sorry, some of you can say "Oh its for charity its all good," but I just can't!

Also, I don't see why this thread should be closed... I don't even know why the othe thread was closed. Sometimes I just think threads are closed for stupid things. And the point about PLEBA was right on. Makes no sense, should go both ways.. but how many U2 slash threads are closed?
