War Child
Was just watching the Rose Bowl dvd and I realized that I really cannot stand that talk-singing habit of his!
The show starts with Boots, which in itself is a pretty awful song just like its older cousin Vertigo but Bono manages to ruin it even further by practically rapping thru the whole thing.
Next is Magnificent which I quite enjoyed. See, cos he is singing! Not talking.
Next, Mysterious Ways is the worst offender! The album version is eons better than this crap. If it weren't for those lovely extended solos in those older live versions, I probably would never bother listening to any live version of this song ever.
Then, on Beautiful Day again he starts talking when it comes to "See the world in green and blue..."
Ugh! It just sounds so lazy. I don't mind singers changing things a bit in a live setting but Bono, when he talk-sings it sounds like he is butchering the album version!
Anyone agree?
