1. I hate this version of One !
  2. It's better than U2's original version.

    Barely beating out Johnny Cash's cover. The original coming in 3rd.

  3. Best version of one for is w/ the extended "hear us comin' Lord" - that shit owns.

    second best for me - and a close one - is w/ the London Symphony & Edge orchestrating - boooya that shit is amazing

    I can see why people are not estatic over the Mary J version ...
    but who said U2 isnt taking risks? That was one right there

    AND - who is this song for?? Us or them? Think about the millions of ears that never even
    thought to give that song a chance, now they have to like it.

    I actually grew up in NYC and my sister is a Mary J fan, now she's a U2 fan telling me "i never knew they were so good"
