  1. Not bad. Bono seriously sidelined
  2. ....which is a good thing, regarding this particular song.

    Well, I prefer Rihanna's part over Jay-Z's, but that only makes sense to me.
    Like it's been said before, Bono is hardly audible, partly due to Rihanna's mic, I think, which is way too loud. The chorus is indeed rather okay-ish as is Edge's guitar parts. But Edge's guitar could've been a tad louder for me...it's too low.
    But Jay-Z's "singing" (.... ) annoyes me the most and ruins everything else.

    So, here are the results of the "Eurovision Jury": ...... 2 points (out of 10).

    I'll probably go for the re-release of We Are The World, if I have to choose.
  4. Pre-order the album from iTunes and you get the full version of the song. Amazing!!! Bono's voice is better than ever!!

    Okay! But i think the song´s okay for a charity reason
  6. hmm it's not bad...bono is nowhere though...
  7. I like it, but Bono's nowhere, too quiet mic.

    Rihanna has gorgeous voice.
  8. take jay z out, just have bono singing the whole thing, hes a good rapper look at breathe


  9. Indeed. I've listened to the song a dozen times now, and Jay-Z's starting to getting on my nerves


  10. I guess you have to be a fan of him or of rap in general... but like I said, I love Jay-Z though I would have preferred for Bono to have a bigger part. I still want Jay and U2 to do a proper song together.
  11. I like U2 (obviously), I like rap and have no problem with Jay-Z, I've always had a soft spot for Rihanna's voice, but this song does nothing for me. Never been big on "great causes" songs anyway.
  12. Terrible song, Edge sounds uninspired.
