Bono and Blunt to Record Together

British chart heart-throb James Blunt is excited about recording a duet with rock icon Bono, as he has always used U2's music as inspiration.

The "You're Beautiful" singer met the Irish star in a night-club, and as the alcohol flowed, the U2 frontman agreed to collaborate with Blunt.

Blunt enthuses, "Bono is a truly inspirational human being. I've always been inspired by his music."

But when asked whether Bono is as much of a fan of his music, the young pop hunk remains strangely elusive.

He says, "He definitely knows all about it, yes."

Is there ANYONE Bono won't agree to sing with?

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

Arggh please don't release anything with this watery fool..

 

[Zoomerang96]

another quality decision by bono.

i'm sure this song will be at LEAST as good as his work with the corrs. that song was INCREDIBLE!

 

[reptile]

Watery fool! Hee hee, i love it....

While i dont think much of his album, i have to recomend to people to listen to the last track 'No Bravery' it is quite stunning. It is the only song of his i have on my mp3 player and it never fails to move me........
As for Bono...yeah i think he would sing with just about anybody who asked him!

Dude a U2/Tool collaboration would be

and why hasn't U2 done anything with Radiohead yet?

 

[financeguy]

Terrible. Just awful

Yuck.

and as the alcohol flowed, the U2 frontman agreed to collaborate with Blunt.

So, the alcohol is the key if you wish to do a duet with Bono.

No Bravery really is a great song, the others are not my thing.

But Blunt's music is nonetheless of a better quality than most of the other stuff in the charts.

that song was INCREDIBLE!

When the Stars Go Blue


I nearly forgot how fucking incredible that song was.

Zoom was being sarcastic.

I like James Blunt. Well, not enough to run out and buy his album, but it's nice music. Nice, inoffensive music. It's not bad to listen to once in a while.

The single mix of 'You're Beautiful' is rubbish though.

 

[intedomine]

What's the wohole thing about this Blunt guy anyway?

Is he manufactured or did he get a free ride cause he had decent contacts.

I get all sceptical about people like Powter, Blunt, Kanye West and people like that. These new artists who have just emerged. I wonder if they just get fame cause they're rich upper class twats....

 

[Vincent Vega]

Blunt was a soldier who served in Yugoslavia and Kosovo.
In that time he began to write songs and after he came back home he worked these song out.
I don't know, but he found a way to get a record deal without having much money or some contacts. That seems to be still possible.

 

[babyman]

oooooooooooooooooooooooh.............................noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

What's the problem with being rich? You've got a computer, haven't you? Not exactly a working-class posession.

If the music's good (or, in Blunt's case, amusing to listen to once in a while) I'll listen to it. I couldn't give a flying fuck about how Julian Casablancas got his contract because it doesn't take away anything from the Strokes.
