U2 on Japan Aid Album

[bugo]

Sorry if this is old: BBC News - Justin Bieber and U2 to appear on Japanese charity disc

Anyone know which song??

 

[topplehatU2]

Every Breaking Wave

The Ground Beneath Her Feet




Sorry, had to get these out of the way. Commence pointless speculation.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I am going with Walk On.

 

[nirniva]

A redone version of One with some special guest artist, most likely.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

A redone version of One with some special guest artist, most likely.

That would be so stale.

 

[nirniva]

That would be so stale.

Yeah, I hope they avoid it, largely so we don't end up with another one of these:
YouTube - Mary J. Blige, U2 - One

 

[Jeannieco]

This is a good thing U2 and all the artists are doing
But...I am awful.
The first thing I could think of is that photo.
Anybody else cringe seeing Bono next to JB?
Justin cooties Run Bono!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The Biebs never hurt anybody.

 

[cobl04]

I can't put Justin Bieber down anymore. He's banging Selena Gomez.

 

[Jeannieco]

The Biebs never hurt anybody.

I know but that side by side thing freaked me out. Bono looks like his Grandpa. Sorry B I love you.

The album's out in just a few days so it won't be a brand new, specially recorded song.

Maybe an exclusive live track (Stand By Me from South Africa would work) or a remix of a NLOTH track. Or perhaps Winter or Soon.

Hopefully it's not just a standard album track like Magnificent, Walk On, One or some other 10+ year old song.

 

[JamietheEdgefan]

Hopefully it's not just a standard album track like Magnificent, Walk On, One or some other 10+ year old song.

If it's being put together in a week, and it's meant to be uplifting, it's probably going to be an already available version of an optimistic studio track - probably walk on, or one.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Stuck

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

Grace or Red Light

YouTube - Mary J. Blige, U2 - One

Thanks for posting that!

One of the best U2 duets ever and a great video, also. Very well shot and captures the moment. Hadn't watched it in a while but still get spine chills every time they kick it up at the end there.

If a U2/JB collab turns out even remotely close to that (which I know it can't possibly, he can't sing like her period), I'll be all for it.

 

[MikeyJB]

I'm afraid if U2 or Bono were ever to collaborate with Justin Beiber I would have to have some serious reconsideration about my status as a fan of the band. It would be a dark dark day indeed.

er... i don't think it's a U2/JB "collab" as such - they're just 2 random artists cited as contributing to the album... at least i hope so!

btw i love the U2/MJB version of One as well

 

[gvox]

Oh I must've been making a hasty logical leap there between this news and the soundbite we heard the other day of Bieber saying he'd love to work with U2..probably jumped to conclusions there!

To be honest he's not my first or even top 10th pick for an artist I'd like to see work with U2

 

[miami66]

remember they put Stranded together in a few days so if the song is half as good as that I'll be happy.


NEW U2 Material



hopefully

I find this funny.

 

[gvox]

I know, eh? Like I completely didn't even see that part, huh?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

You read my mind!

This article says it should be ready by the end of the week:
Justin Bieber, Rihanna and U2 release album in aid of Japan | Irish Entertainment Around the World | IrishCentral

The good news is that all of the world famous singers are acting quickly. Sources at Universal Music announced on Tuesday that they hope to release a digital-only charity album globally by the end of this week.

 

[Galeongirl]

I can't put Justin Bieber down anymore. He's banging Selena Gomez.

So biebs is a lesbian after all? I knew it!

For a song I thought Every Breaking Wave would be fitting. Or The Unforgettable Fire(aiming at the nuclear disaster,ofcourse)?

Come on, seriously??

 

[corianderstem]

I love seeing so many people get so worked up about this shit.

 

[coolian2]

Come on, seriously??

it would show an appalling lack of creative nous, which we know they still actually do have, even if they aren't brave enough to release it commercially.

but seriously, if it were to actually happen i would eat my hat. no joking.

 

[corianderstem]

Remember when there was some sort of news or rumor about Bono and J Lo doing a duet?

Yeah. Exactly.

 

[chocky]

If it's being put together in a week, and it's meant to be uplifting, it's probably going to be an already available version of an optimistic studio track - probably walk on, or one.

it could just as easily be something rare:

Stand By Me - U2 feat Yvonne Chaka Chaka
Mercy (Live)
Winter (Brothers Version)
Winter (Linera Version)
Soon
Gimme Shelter (Live from NY) - U2 with Mick Jagger and Fergie
Smile
Flower Child
Angels Too Tied to the Ground


or something less over-used than Walk One & One:

Saints are Coming - U2/Green Day
Window in the Skies
Kite (Live from Sydney, November 2006)
