Chris sounds fantastic. Bono sounds amazing, best since Elevation tour.

There's not enough of Chris in that video. Oh, I'm sorry. I know this is not about Chris! I do. I'm just saying.

To my ears, Chris' line sounds the best, just like his line from The Beach Boys' song on the BBC was the best. His voice is so unmistakable.

I like those best who put the song in front of themselves if that makes sense. I'm not a fan of wailing and excess I think Chris is great (duh) and Ed Sheeran, 1D and a few I don't even know the names of Bono still wants too much with this song in my opinion, like in the first version. But he sounds great.

Would love to have a Chris solo version... I read early on that Bob Geldof said there would be solo versions by some of the singers this time. Haven't heard more about it though, so maybe they didn't do that after all.

Totally agree...........there is such a thing as too much "taking part" when it should all be for the good cause and not the cause celebre' ...........but...............
Doesn't Bono always want too much? Gotta give him credit though, he's always in the midst of things, never stops.
Chris' line was wonderful, just plain wonderful and "right." ( I'd love a version with the group backing him while he sings the verses in his own gentle way )

This has nothing to do with Chris (blasphemy I know), but since we are talking about Bono briefly... link

Yes Chris did it great, simple and humble. Bono always wants too much? I honestly haven't thought much about it, but yes he might be best when he doesn't try so hard. What an ear opener, I feel like an idiot I might be ever so slightly biased when it comes to U2 This has nothing to do with Chris (blasphemy I know), but since we are talking about Bono briefly... linkYes what a week he had! And now he's injured and needs surgery, hurt his arm in a cycling spill in NY. (I've never heard the words "cycling spill" before.)
