The vocals remind me of the ones he did for I Am the Walrus. The song is in a key (D) that is perhaps a half a semitone too high for Bono to sing strongly when the vocal melody is repeated high notes like that. I think he could have done a better job if it was in D# or C. It just irks me a bit because his voice has definitely evolved a bit since even the HTDAAB recording sessions and it seems like he hasn't tried to change his phrasing at all to accomodate this. It seems like he doesn't try to sustain notes and sings them a bit flat as he trails off after each note.Rob33 said:^ you don't like how he is singing in this song?
It may be a question of technique but you can't say that I Am the Walrus or this new single are above-average vocal takes, let's be objective here. He doesn't have the power to strain his middle voice like that anymore over a couple of bars (repeated notes in a vocal line, a hallmark of Paul McCartney), though his falsetto range is still lovely (Window in the Skies, for example).BonoVoxSupastar said:Too high for him to sing?

(I think it's a pretty fair, objective observation, and there's no need to post 15 samples of shakey notes he's hit on tour to refute that, Peterrr)
