This is great advertising, and I'm as cynical as they come.If you don't like the voice you probably never listened to live music in your life. It is outrageously, awesomely cool. If you don't like this you didn't like the music from The Wire, or from True Blood, or anything that ever came out of a guitar band based on blues. It's dirty Nick Cave or Tex Perkins playing on the night of your first kiss. It's expectation and abandoned dancing, of youth discovering possibilities. It's life's promise.
@thankson " It's expectation and abandoned dancing, of youth discovering possibilities. It's life's promise" wow, best description ever. Hit the nail on the head and sadly the young ones wont have a clue what you're talking about :)
Absolutely can't stand the singing in this ad....really really awful. And to boosta...I notice you're not keeping your thoughts to yourself. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Who's watching it on Youtube? I saw it a thousand times on TV and can't stand it so badly, that I change the channel.
@theHumanProject It's good. If you're interested in good retail advertising take a look at the John Lewis (UK) ads, especially "She's Always a Woman" and this year's Christmas ad.
People, come on, if you hate the ad so much why watch it on YouTube! I mean like that's gonna make any difference! Just get over it! I think the ad is creative and different. The song isn't that bad, just stop bagging it out! You try and do better! IT PISSES ME OFF that you can't keep your thoughts to yourself!
If you understand anything about sales and marketing then you'll realise just how good this ad is....just look how many people have bothered to comment on it and how it has polarised the public. There is absolutely no doubt that it has reached the demographic target group and whether you love it or hate it the ad agency deserves a conceptual big big thumbs up for this one!!!!
why all the anti Aussie stuff? At least we dont pretend to be puritan churchgoers while being twisted freaks behind it all. Whose politician was it sending pictures of his privates?
The music and singer, "one of Australia's most incredible voices" who I've never even heard of before, are the absolute worst. Christmas is a time of joy, and the music sounds so slow and depressing, it's like the song's being played back on a cassette player low on battery power.
On top of that, I have no idea who Rachael Taylor is, except from hearing her name from channel 9's advertisement for the over-hyped, failed reboot of Charlie's Angels... but apparently she's well-known, I guess.
I LOVE THIS AD! They're put so much thought into the interpretation of a beautiful version of the song. If you find it offensive you're a weirdo. I'm looking at you @ozzyturn... Merry Christmas!
Best ad of 2011, I think. I remembered who it's for and what they sell quite easily. And after seeing it just two times I was unable to get it out of my head,. Congratulations to Bonds and everyone involved.
@MelonHCST lol Guess I got it wrong. I've never heard of Jack Ladder so I looked him up. His voice is kinda reedy and thin, they must have tweaked it a lot for the add. Best imitation of Nick Cave I've ever heard.
I ABSOLUTELY LUVIT TOO!!! and I am an oldie and a tradirionalist! It's fab Especially love the 2 turtle doves and the drummers!!! The voice is sooooooo cool!!! ;-)
all the people commenting are little kids who think the singer is a pedophile or something it is great, the singer is perfect for the role and its a classy advertisement
Love the ads every time they come on especially the 6 geese a laying LMAO and how gorgeous does Rachael Taylor look at the end - she is just stunning that girl!
Oh my God, I hate this version of the carol. Is the aim to get people to top themselves for Christmas? Sounds like it's being played on the wrong speed.
I too change the channel everytime it comes on. It owuld have been a good ad with different music.
@R4nd0mZ0RZ The singer's voice is odd, but even if you like it or hate it you'll almost certainly remember the ad because of it. Which is pretty much all you can ask for when commissioning an ad. And for the record, I love it.
Don't mind the ad, but this version of that classic song is heinous! I can't even listen to it more than once, it's so bad that when the ad comes on TV I change it as quickly as I can ... I have never heard a song be so butchered!
