Did anyone see Mary J Blige and U2? She sang her damn heart out.

I was floored by the pairing and the performance.

Mary tore it up, I haven't heard a girl belt it like that in a while, it was amazing.

Did you see the look on Bono and the Edges' face? I think that Mary rocked U2's world.

It was just so powerful, I cried my eyes out.

3. She was crying, it was just awesome
It was funny to look at Bono, he was stunned that she was rocking it so hard.

It was my favorite perforamance of the evening, even though I thought that everyone was wonderful.

4. excellent....the lyrics to the song
"One"
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
We hurt each other, then we do it again

You say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life
You got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One

9. It really was a great moment
Like Mr Schebly said in School of Rock, one good rock show can change the world.

I think that all of the performers were apart of bring America closer together, helping unite us to get rid of these vile men.

11. The combination was amazing
Always love Mary J. and always love U2.

The combo was powerful and poignant and the lyrics hammered it home.

I was crying again, too.

13. me, too
I just found it online and watched again - and cried again.

It looks like they have it at MTV, but they don't have a plugin for Macs. I found one I could watch at http://www.u2exit.com/welcome.shtml

Click on link that says: One with Mary J. Blige

15. Wow! Looks like Mary and Bono
were just keeping back the tears at the end there.

Hope they put it out CD/DVD so this poor tv-less creature can hear it.
