Bono's voice in "In A Little While". Do you like it or not?

[TheBrazilianFly]

I like it. It's part of what makes the song great in my opinion. I know that there's a lot of people who don't like it but the soar is awesome and adds a lot to the song. So, what's your opinion? Do you like it or not and why?

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Shit, this was supposed to be a poll with yes and no as the answers. Can a mod please turn it into a poll please?

 

[Zoots]

No... esp. during these lines, it sounds too strained.

Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

I don't blame him though, he's human after all.

 

[starsgoblue]

I don't like his voice in this song. I it!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Shit, this was supposed to be a poll with yes and no as the answers. Can a mod please turn it into a poll please?

coming right up!!

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Thanks Khanada!

 

[MrBrau1]

The way Bono's voice sounds is as essential to this song as the drum beat, or the tone in Edge's guitar. A clear reading would have destroyed it.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Thanks Khanada!

no problem! even though we need to talk about your avatar

my fave All that you cant leave behind track

 

[Joshua87]

No... esp. during these lines, it sounds too strained.

Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

I don't blame him though, he's human after all.

I think his voice is supposed to sound strained, it adds a feeling of desperation to the mood.

 

[grbounds]

[starvinmarvin]

Yes...one of Boner's all-time best vocals

[MacPhistoPT]

I like his voice in this song... sounds different

 

[Aardvark747]

God yes - my 3rd fave from that album, and on the Boston dvd, it sounds even more amazing....

 

[Neenie]

Bono's voice sounds sexy on that song. I love the turn me on part

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Sexy, too damn right it's sexy! The voice of someone who hasn't slept, and has done too much naughty stuff

 

[miss becky]

Yes. I like the scratchiness, but I love the way he jumps an octave during the "uh-oooh" part.

 

[the soul waits]

I'm dissapointed, Brazilian Fly, I saw the title of the poll and couldn't wait to answer it but then I was when I saw I could only choose between "yes" and "no".

I wanted to shout yell dance clapp and siiiiiiiiing

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

I LOVE it SO much!! His voice is awesome on it, imo.

It's PERFECT!
Oh dear, I'm getting excited

 

[tiny dancer]

it!

 

[OnFire]

This song made me want to learn to play the guitar and I haven't put it down since. It really brought me here since I only found this place through the now-deceased guitar archive.

 

[MumblingBono]

One of the many hooky little curveballs that ATYCLB had in spades that HTDAAB lacks.

 

[VertigoGal]

I love it too, tres sexy, imo. I can't imagine the song without it, but it's in my top 3 off that album.

 

[BEVERLY56]

Oh mercy, love his voice on that song. Its kinda scratchy, kinda sounds like he's suffering from something...Definitely sexy. Wait a sec, can anyone think of a song where he DIDN'T sound sexy? I sure can't.

 

[barlowdog]

Love it. It's my favorite song on the album.
