Axver said:As far as the song choice goes, there are so many better songs U2 could have played: Drowning Man, One Tree Hill, Stay, Wake Up Dead Man, Walk On, Yahweh ...
U2dork said:I think I'll reserve my judgement of their performance until I actually see it.
Utoo said:One has been tacked on to almost every issue or charity thing they've done since it came out.

One Mary J Blige
U2 have filmed a Live version of “One” with Mary J Blige. The performance will air tonight during the Hurricane Relief Benefit: Shelter From The Storm”.
The Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J flew into Toronto from New York especially to perform the song with U2.
The atmosphere was quite remarkable with a spine tingling performance from one of America’s finest vocalists, Mary J Blige. The band themselves seemed stunned by the power of her performance.
The benefit will be played across all major networks in America and throughout Canada. Shelter from the Storm is being produced by Joel Gallen, who also produced the post-9/11 telethon "America: A Tribute to Heroes.
All proceeds from the Telethon will go to The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army. Other artists appearing include Sheryl Crow, Ellen Degeneres, Chris Rock, Rod Stewart, Cameron Diaz, Alicia Keys, Randy Newman and Neil Young, and many many more
So they did flim here!!
Ahhhhhhh why didn't they invite some of U2 fans!!! Boohoo woohoooooooo U2!!
Axver said:
Exactly! It's been completely over-used. It's like "oh, a cause, a special occasion, a telethon? Let's play ONE!"
So predictable.

So sorry if I'm all out of humor about this. Just watching CNN. They're interviewing the only doctor who was at convention center who saw about 50 bodies, including people who were beaten to death. At this point, I don't care what U2 play.

They are not performing a song to make their fans happy. It's a universal song that is recognized, has deep meaning, and is still a beautiful song, especially at times like this.

I understand that. But why even commenting on our posts then? Our song complaining shouldn't matter to you now, either? And I have to say Kelly, as much as I respect your attitude, it really is a bit low to try to make us look like cynical idiots by mentioning this. Yes, in the great scheme of things right now, it is totally unimportant what U2 play, and we are well aware of that. But this is a U2 message board and people in here have been looking forward to seeing what U2 might play. And it is quite natural, and no big deal really, that some of us will comment on it afterwards.

Go ahead. I apologize if I made anyone look like a cynical idiot. I commented on it because it upset me. But lots of things upset me this week.
