"Interesting" is a kind word. J.Lo may not be a horrible actress, but she is a horrible singer. I don't have much hope for this song. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm probably not...

Or perhaps he wants to put his name on the waiting list to be a future ex-Mr. Lopez..??

Actually...this thread title is very misleading..
Adam, Larry & the Edge have no control over what Bono does..so don't hold them accountable..

A small step. But a step up nonetheless.

I don't see what makes Bono KING of all singers. Why is J-Lo "not worthy" of his obvious marketing move?
U2 and Bono have sucked since '82.

I never said Bono was the king of all singers, but he is an accomplished musician and in my mind J-Lo isn't even a good singer she is merely a good dancer and performer, but she is not a good singer although she is talented at other things. I just think it's a really bad combination. In response to monkey, I think this DOES have to do with U2 because after all Bono is the focal point of the band whether you like it or not. He is the most recognizable and most important person in the band, therefore whatever his decisions are will reflect on the band whether it is positive or negative. But anyways enough U2 talk, I haven't liked their music for a long time.

</small>Well you've said in the thread title and in the quote that you don't have much time for U2, so perhaps he thinks that the justification you have made along the lines that Bono's actions reflect on the rest of the band whether they agree them or not is a trifle "convenient".
But I wouldn't want to put words in his mouth!

I guess I got a little off track from what I was saying in the topic, I just don't think it's a good career move for Bono and I just think it's kind of silly that's all.
