"One" was released as U2's Achtung Baby album's third single on 24 February 1992 as a benefit single, with all of the band's royalties being donated to different AIDS research organisations for each country in which the single was released. Even Bono admits that Mary took the song to a whole other level!

U2 is one of my favorite bands of all time. You have to listen to or watch the music video for New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday. Iconic

I love this song so so much! But now you HAVE to do just U2 doing their own version. Thanks

This song was originally released by U2 in 1992. It’s a break up song. Lyrically amazing. The Mary version is superb but I’ve always preferred the original as it comes across a lot darker, the song takes you on a different journey. Mary does an amazing job and delivers a different version of the song. It’s a very passionate version but I do prefer the darker U2 version from 92 Great review 👌

I don't know how I missed this. U2 is one of my favorite pop groups. Mary OWNED this duet. Bono was awesome, as usual, but Mary was on another planet.

One of my all time favorite songs (this version with Mary J) and a top 10 greatest collab in my book….probably top five….I LOVE IT! Another great collab you should hear is Hozier with Mavis Staples (another unexpected duo) singing “Nina Cried Power”. ♥️

@maggiefrawley5867 3 ай бұрын

Just a couple things, I loved how you said at the end you didn’t expect/know they would work so well together but they did. I feel as though that’s the embodiment of this song, a black woman and a white Irish band together for an amazing song about togetherness. Also, this is U2’s original song but there was no ego about this recording, Bono let Mary sing pretty much the entire song and she owned it, and not only was it not a feature ( U2 ft. MJB) they listed her name first.

Most people have never heard of Mary J. Blige, but she is a huge artist. She's considered the queen of Hip Hop & Soul. She just recently got voted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for 2024. She will be inducted along with Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Kool and the Gang, and A Tribe Called Quest on Oct 19, 2024.

This reminds me of when the Grammys gets two artists/groups to collaborate for a performance...you're not sure how they're going to fit together, and then they do so to make the night truly special and memorable...iconic even. Absolutely beautiful! I had no idea this version of U2's song even existed... I REALLY want to explore Mary J. Blige's music, but have no idea where the best place is to start. I need her realness, strength, and wisdom in my daily life...any suggestions?

Eh. The original far surpasses this. The pain and emotion is palpable. I like Mary J a lot. But while this version is good, her vocal acrobatics don’t fit the mood of the song. While impressive as always, it kinda sucks the emotion from the song. The cool thing about U2 is that they have a ton of collaborations, and while most bands would take center stage and let the guest sort of pop in a bit, they let Mary take center stage here. Good on em. Oh and Bono hits those same notes at the end in original as well. :)

@taralaw1933 4 ай бұрын

The original and this version have completely different meanings. Bono wrote it about his relationship with his father. Mary J sang it about leaving a loveless marriage. If you can’t palpate the emotions in both versions I suggest that you find a different artery sir. Also Bono does not hit a high A key in the original. Mary J has a much higher falsetto range than Bono does. Bono is probably my favorite singer/ songwriter of all time. Mary J is in my top 5. “We’re one but we’re not the same.” Seems self explanatory.

@MariaT6317 4 ай бұрын

I agree Nian. This is fine, but it doesn't have the same emotional impact of the original. No judgement towards this collaboration, but a personal opinion. The original has me in tears, this doesn't do that for me. The Johnny Cash cover is also extremely powerful
