Title: operacion triunfo cd
Post by: Trevor on March 20, 2007, 07:33:05 AM

I have read in the news of this embarrassing collaboration (?) of bono for the "operacion triunfo" cd. this is a disco music version of 46664 where bono sings some lines and the rest is sung by the guys of this tv show, the first part in spanish and the second in an english rap... I was able to listen this song one time only... I thought the worse u2 collaboration was with MJB but after listen this new one I have no words...

here's the cover:

Pretty much my sentiments.  Thanks for the scans.  I actually have a copy of this on the way from Spain.  Couldn't resist owning the worst collaboration evah...

Brad, I hope you let us know about the other tracks, esp., "My Sharona", one of my fav oldies.

Hmmm... I hadn't actually considered listening to the rest of the CD, but I will definitely give 'My Sharona' a spin for you. ;)

It's just a mediocre cover version of "My Sharona;" not nearly as cheesed-up or painful as "46664."

Can anyone suggest a way to obtain this cd for people in the US? The usual suspects do not seem to have the cd for sale.

fnac.es was carrying it, though it doesn't look like they currently have it in stock.

Ok. Thx.

I saw some other places that sold other seasons of Operacio Triunfo. Hopefully Operacion Triunfo Adelante will get a wider release.

I heard the song. Not as good as Kiss AMC or Pet Shop Boys covers of other U2 songs.

The vocalist at the beginning has some promise. :-)
