She's my idol. They both ROCK! Terri J.
I LOVE the way Mary and U2 perform One together!!!!! There's no other group like U2 but honestly, I love this version of One much more than the original. I guess because Mary is the s_ _ t!!!!!! They rock this song together!!!!
I GET IT, I GET IT, U R THE ONLY ON WHO CAN DO THIS RITE HERE. I MEAN, THAT SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL, U SHOULD, NO, U SHOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. DO U PEOPLE KNOW WHY, BECUZ, SHE IS FLAWLESS!!!!! DO YA'LL HEAR ME NOW, SHE IS FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE, ONE, ONE, UR MY ONLY ONE!
I never was a U2 fan, for some reason one day I heard your version of this song..then I wonder where I had been all this year ignoring that you exist. You are an amazing artist, I love the energy, the pasion that you give to that song..you had become one of my all time favorite singers. Thanks for your music!!
and to all the goofs bleating on about direction and lipsink..................duh? its a music video, what do you expect? do you think these things are made live? come on, get real, and as the age old saying goes...... evryones a critic
the colaberation with U2 has to go down in history as one of the best management decisions of all time. You blew me away, emotion, interpretation, and power! sorry guys, but the original, comes a sorry second to this, what I can only describe as an explosion of emosion. M.J.B.----girl you rock
you are an inspiration, mary/ my man left this week - he actually said i was totally f-in stupid. well, i got smart! somehow, i will be there in richmond to see and hear you. thank you Mary...
My nine years old son favorite video is "ONE". Everyone that knows him can tell you Mary J that you are his NUMBER ONE SINGER!! He even calls himself "BUBBA J BLIGE". You are a true inspiration in my life. Thank you for keeping it REAL!! Nicky G
Taking an already soulful song and raising to yet a higher level. Wow!!!! Mary's powerful voice is able to transcend the guitars and bring the whole ensemble up with her. A classic voice matched with an equally classy band....thank you Mary for elevating this terrific song.
Well I dont think the editing is bad as a matter of fact i think it is good. not every motion the artist makes needs to be synced to the audio. i mean, generally, yes, thats great when the two sync, but, sometimes, for accentuation, or even as an approach on its own, using one image to the music in a different part of the song can be cool. i mean when you consider they're lip syncing anyway... but i respect your opinion. just think the editor did a damn good job (this is generally 5 people on a stage--all gods, yes, but still) and when you look at the overall 'feel' of whats been achieved here I think you have to admire that. but as they say you say tomato i say tomato. love the video.....
You're simply great. As we say in italy, this is a videoclip (and a song) CON I CONTROCAZZI!!!
just a great video, we can feel all think you`re saying, ONE!. love it!"

An amazing performance and blending of artistic talent. MJB takes a great song and brings it to a whole new, previously undetectable level. The black and white shot gives it a great perspective. The only shortcoming is the video editing: it's way too obvious that the final cut is a collection of multiple takes. MJB's microphone is all over the place from scene to scene. Shots of her singing in silhouette are clearly not in sync with what is actually being heard. It's obvious that MJB give's 110% in her performances and the video editor should have respected that. Thanks MJB and U2 for an amazing piece of work.
Diva's Live: Aint no way w/ Whitney Houston..... As w/ George Michael (Video is hot 'ish too).... and One w/ U2...... Consistently rockin' the show and bringing tears to the eyes. I can't wait to see her live again on 8/25. Keep on doing you Mary and we will faithfully follow that beautiful voice....One love....
The One video is a work of art! I especially like your voice when singing the line "..love is a higher law..." You give so much energy and rythym to the song that it reminds me of Gospel. I hope to hear more incredible duets from you in the future. I live in Columbus, OH and drive a truck. I recently saw your billboard by I-40 in Memphis, TN, it was very beautiful but I know that pictures do not do you justice. Keep up the good work and enjoy the cars!!
U2 did a good job on this many years ago but, Mary rocked the roof off with her performance on this and made it hers.Spectaular to tears.Magnifico Mary.
I love that song it's something you like hearing all the time!!!I could play that song over and over again for hours it's so good!!!!and U2 is a really good band they do great songs!!!And I have always loved all your songs Mary!I am really inspired by your work!!!good luck for the futur!...
One, w/U2.. Incredible! I can't stop listening to this one! Please do more like this one, touches my soul!
I adress this mail from FRANCE, simply for explain I discovered this song on "NRJ"(the first radio in FRANCE) since two weeks. Everyday, I listen to this song on this radio when I go to my job. I think that all people in France will discover Mary J Blige. It will be the song of this summer, I'm certain. "ONE" is a beautiful song of U2 and Bono, but the voice of Mary is merveillous. I'm falling in love of her voice. It's very difficult for me to translate in English my sensation, but, when I cloose my eyes and I listen to this new version with Mary, I feel very weel in myself. I forget all my problems of my life. Thank you very very much Mary, welcome in France ........ A bukiet of kiss, specially for you Mary ... Stephane
Lady, you knocked this one out of the ballpark. This one brings me to my knees. I will never tire of this song. What a convergence of talent and feeling. I would have loved to have been at Madison Square Garden when you got up on stage with U2 to perform this song. Although from what I have read from those who were there it might have killed me.
Mary, you did it again baby, I truly feel like you're the only artist that can make a remake...a remake, and make the original artist proud. Your voice and your presence in the music industry is undeniable. Your #1 fan.
I didn't see this one coming.. and wow did you ever handle yours Mary! You are shining!!!
I am sure this one has already become one of the all time greatest classics/hits. What a perfect combination. Mary J Blige, what a beatiful name, what a voice and performance. You are one of the greatest and finest artists in the entire universe!

HOO...MMMYYY GOOSHH...MARY MARY MOTHER OF GOD...JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU...WOMAN!!!YOU HAVE A GIFT!!MARY J...YOU ARE A BLESSED WOMAN! I could not hold my tears. NOW! THAT....was a BEAUTIFUL SONG. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR VOICE HEALS WOUNDS. AND BECAUSE OF YOUR SONG I AM GOING TO WRITE A SONG AND CALL IT "you voice heals wounds". I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON MY DREAMS AND ONE DAY YOU WILL HEAR MY SING THIS SONG. AND ON THAT DAY YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE OF YOU I WAS IMSPIRED TO KEEP DREAMING AND WORKING HARD. THANK YOU MARY..
A pearl. Thanks
I really love this song, this is my favorite - I am listening non-stop. Fanny from Switzerland.
Mary, I have no words. For me has been great to discover your voice. Your performance with One song makes a classic pop rock song a fresh version. From now I will follow your steps and I wish you the best. Yesterday a Listen your CD five times. Please if possible include in your tour Barcelona.We will enjoy aswell as you.
You go Mary the rock star it shows Mary can do it all she can rock with the best. I hope the song goes to #1 on the pop chats. Please Mary don't forget about to visit us in South Africa on your world tour.
That was phenomenal. It brought me to tears.
Mary has came a long way. I have followed every step. In my times of being down and out I would just turn to the music or Mary, happy sad good or bad days. Her music is the best. Al I would like to know is what ab work does she do???
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE MESSAGE!! I PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT THROUGH YOUR MUSIC AND SONG A MULTITUDE WILL BE SAVED. BLESSING TO MARY. AGAPE ALWAYS
I don't even know why I'm so amazed. I have always loved Mary and there is nothing to much that she could do that that I don't like. Mary can do no wrong in my eyes. I am just so happy to see her getting the respect she truly deserves. I love her voice with the rock music bascground and think she should do a rock classics album. I saw her on Fashion Rocks a few years back singing Janis Joplin's "Piece of my heart" she sang that as if she wrote it. I have always thought that shoud go on one of her albums. I just love her.
I Love this song,its is one of my most favorites on this album.I really like the video as well. Her and the group U2 work amazing together.
The video for "One" was very beautiful. The black and white effect really bought out the meaning of the song because that is all you could focus on. It wasn't about bling and money. It was about love and peace. Great job Mary!!!!
