ONE love, blood, life
Which version of If You Wear That Velvet Dress do you prefer? I think right now I prefer the Jools Holland version. The minimalist approach on the Pop version is good but it's just too underproduced. You know there is a problem when you turn your stereo volume almost all the way up and you still can't hear Bono singing the thing very well. Which is a shame because this really is a great song. The Jools Holland version, while it might go overboard at points, is just fucking great. Bono's vocal performance is better(not to mention you can hear it this time), the instrumentation really fits the song very well, and the atmosphere of the song reminds me a lot of Two Shots Of Happy One Shot Of Sad, which is never a bad thing. While I still think the Popmart Live versions of Velvet Dress are the best versions, I think right now I pick Jools Holland over Pop.
