What Women Singers Should U2 Duet With?

[LMBLover]

I hope this hasn't been a recent subject, I didn't see it anywhere.

As far as i know he hasn't sung with very many--Andrea Corr, Sinead O'Connor, and now Alicia Keys.

Anyway my two choices for Bono to duet with are Sarah McLachlan and Alison Krauss. I think he would sound beautiful with Sarah because they both have that slighty sleepy sexy quality to their voices--to me their voices are similar in a lot of ways just in their style. I vote for Alison because her softness would be a great contrast to his intensity--and blending a bit of bluegrass with U2 sounds interesting. Gimme your picks!

Ani Difranco.... B would sound glorious with her!

J.Lo.

I'm not kidding. I'd probably hate the song but I'm DIEING to hear how it sounds like. I know I keep harping on it, but whatever did happen to this collab?

 

[DILETTANTE]

Mary J. Blige

 

[Utoo]

Annie Lennox.

I once downloaded a live version of 40 that was supposed to have her in it, but I couldn't hear her at all...

Bono also performed released duets with Maire Brennan on the Clannad song In A Lifetime, with Maria McKee on a live version of Sweet Jane by Lone Justice and with Beyonce Knowles on American Prayer.

Also in concert he did the duet with Gwen Stefani on What's Going On but that has not been commercially released.

 

[LMP]

Annie Lennox would kick ass

Patti Smith mayhaps? (in the studio atleast)

 

[clifedge]

Sorry, but not Mary J. Blige

 

[KiteKate]

pj harvey & bjork

I second those.

 

[yimou]

nobody

 

[DILETTANTE]

Sorry, but not Mary J. Blige

Well, she wouldn't have been my pick either, but I really LIKED the duet I heard!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Bono already has sung with Annie Lennox, but it wasn't a commercial release. I found a live version of ´40' he sung with her. It must have been from around 1985. It was amazing.

Sarah McLauchlan would be my pick. She sings a lot like Bono used to sing back in the day. The low to high back to low vocal repetoir that he used to do in the Rattle and Hum days.

Speaking of Sarah, I have never ever heard, in all the interviews with Bono on all kinds of singers, him ever talking about her. Strange, hey?

 

[youtooellen]

Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan

those would be some beautiful duets..

This has leaked.

It's better than the original.

 

[LMBLover]

Michael I've wondered the same thing--why no Sarah mentions? I'd love to hear his take on her voice.

Yeah, Annie Lennox would be awesome and Madonna, maybe...
