I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but Utada Hikaru (she did the songs for Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Final Fantasy etc..) is singing "With or Without You"

She actually did a pretty good job!

I think she did a pretty good job! Especially since her first language is Japanese.

It's quite lovely, if not a little... forced? Sometimes she sounds like she's straining her voice a bit, which is bad for health reasons, if not for sound-reasons. One of the better, more heart-felt covers I've heard, at any rate, and I'd recommend it to any one that hasn't heard it already.

And as far as I know... She's fluently bilingual, as she was born in the US, and raised in NYC before moving to Tokyo...

I noticed the high notes were a little strained.
