Band Aid 2 - Do They Know It's Christmas Time

[mariotakahara]

se formos seres humanos de verdade nunca veríamos cenas como essas,,,,,

[mythic32]

awful :(

[grubshph]

This video raised exactly 12 cents for African famine

[MrRefurbishedBrain]

Cagata Galattica Rotanteeeeeeee!

[pwlitalianfan]

The best version ever made. Great Mike Stock and Matt Aitken as musicians and Pete Waterman for the production.

[Jezusfreak333]

Nice! Different singers.... different sound. Why would anyone expect to hear the same sound and arrangement from the original will be disappointed because these aren't the same lead voices. It's a great song because it's meant to raise funds for the poor which is the MAIN reason for this song. I think they did a great job with the talent they had. The poor could care less if they don't sound like the original. They're helping to feed them. Too many people missing the point of Band Aid!

[scotty2hottyrocks]

Their voices are worse than cancer.

[maxpayne2424]

I reckon Cliff Richard should have been part of the 1984 version. The rest aren't good enough

[astiltner1]

Really like this

[Ulkian]

Muuuuch better than any other version of this classic song!!! A deserved x-mas Nr 1 in the UK in 1989! Well done Stock/Aitken/Waterman, and everyone involved in this project! :-)

[pskim731]

I don't think the arranger(s) and singers went to music school. Why fix something when it's not broken? This version is just horrible.

[kasim7]

you know watching these joke stars reminds me of a third division football team playing wembley stadium and thinking they're premiership stars.

[Mrjgallegos]

Awful !!! i prefer the first version, Band aid 1.

[WebValo]

bitta cliff

[1967mustanggta]

Just some money grubbing untalented Jew who saw a chance to make a buck with no creativity other than to shame goys into gathering with the hope of recreating the same stir as the original.

No

[chivasmonarcas1966]

I DONT THINK THEY KNOW ITS CHRISTMAS TIME....THEY ARE MUSLIMS!....BUT STILL THEY NEED HELP! POOR PEOPLE THOSE KIDS HUNGRY ..SAD...WHILE IN OTHERS COUNTRYES TROW AWAY FOOD!!!!

[clarkjkent1984]

I haven't heard this version in about 20 years!! Wow, it brings back such great memories!

[prunti22]

The version completely sucked from jump.

Who's bright idea was it to try and mess with the perfection of the first one?  Whoever it was needs to be slapped.

[makadeni123]

The cause is good. But this version is horrific. Actually horrific. They knew the line up wasn't as good so tried to sing it better. Didnt work, out of tune sound. Simples

[verworn]

People who like Fox News think of the first 20 seconds of this video as a feel good film.

[SaraJaneP]

This is deffinatly the best version.

[ShoutHard]

It's like watching the "2nd string" or the backup plan for Band Aid. Nothing is ever as cool as the original...but the cause is always good.

Merry Christmas to all! :)

[jbenno10]

best one they did

[atomman45]

THE CLANGING BELLS OF DOOM!!!

[blackassassin2k7]

I like this one :) I think this one has its unique sound and shouldn't be compared to the 84 version different artists, different styles :) I like it :D

[mightyjoe911]

Whos this..

[woodyify1]

@ingridmadonna7 cheers :)

[ingridmadonna7]

[PtoArchAngel93]

I didn't even know there was a Band Aid 2

[andrewlawrence2209]

Who cares what version is better? It's to help people in need.

[Anangasnake]

The guy at 1.52 is cliff Richard !!!

[donnaglammetallover]

original version is better!!

[duramaxjad4]

who is the guy at 1:52

[kmzaz]

This is a good version too, sung well by all involved.......very entertaining to watch, and came across quite sincere also :)

[KCTKOC]

Oh disgusting! This remake is worse than We Are The World remake.

[TwistedSister09]

@KCTKOC Nah. still better than "We are the World" remake...

[Makiba08]

@TwistedSister09 I agree

[Davis4037]

@KCTKOC agreed

[wesleypicard]

i like the song but the 1984 version is way better than this one.

[NinfaAlonarg152]

hihi I`m good looking babe, with great sense of humor

[laxkeeper4life]

this is tertible compared to the regular one

[TheWTACE]

THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER RECORDED AND MADE SINCE THE BEGGINING OF TIME! GOD WILL PREPARE A ROOM FOR YOU GUYS WHEN YOU REACH HIS KINGDOM...AMEN...

[guitar11339]

there is not a better wan than the other there all for the same cause

[Tomason72]

This version of SAW (1989) is so so so good, maybe the best. And Kylie is still most pretty, yesterday and today :)

[Starsurfer1988]

Bananarama again ... with a new member. Finally they had a solo :) The only person who's still a star is Kylie Minogue.

[danielmercury93]

est la version des années 90?

[Snorlaxjim]

Nahhh...

[dnaspower]

Kylie is so so so so pretty and cute in this video.

[scottieboi87]

band aid 2 - Very Stock aitken and waterman,,, good old sythasiser lol and drum machine lol

[mlebrox2]

ha i knew kylie monigue was the first singer

[mrcrordry]

They always show the bad side of africa it makes it look like a hopeless place there was never islam christianity there was they it was thriving while you were a ww1 they had spears they didnt need to change much cause life wad good then you guys came messed it up they fucking hate u cause u messed there life of a continet sorry cant fix anything they will revenge on the invaders for sumting which started in the 1600-2011 u wonder y they hate us grt song luv it

[018975]

i think much better the original version than this.....

[thejock101]

You people who are saying this song is crap or they ruined it need to really shut the fuck up

[Poppenhuis]

Boy, are they happy

[marcingrochala1]

It's was already crap only 4 years after the original, so what could be ezpected of the one from 2005??

[joeyhcmc]

Who's the pretty girl at 0:26???

[cdgh99]

@joeyhcmc why its non other than Kylie Minogue

[joeyhcmc]

@cdgh99 Thanks...Didn't look like her with less make-up...It's the old version of her...

[multicoloredwatchpro]

I like the other version better :(

[galaxywar1000]

these guys butchered the song... yaiikkkksssss!!!

[Lobxx1]

this version is rubbish compared to the 1984 version!

[AlphaOmegoat]

1:51 I immediately thought of Christopher Walken

[jarileigh]

Bob Geldof did a great thing in 1984, this version isn't as good as the original, but isn't the most important thing the fact that it's still bringing attention, money, & hope to the original cause?

[mindfrek100]

why dosn't the pope donate money to Africa instead of waving his golden crosses around!? thinking his right hand of god and talking sh!t even I donated money and im Athiest and that religious piece of sh!t calling us sinners! grrrrr FUCK YOU POPE! I wish he came donw to my country or nz I"d punch him in his holy face! -.-

[HornPlayer983]

@mindfrek100

The Catholic Church is pretty much the largest philanthropic organization. How about we actually get to the roots of the problems. Just one example: that computer or w.e. electronic device you used to make that comment... well that is made with conflict minerals. People in Africa (particularly the Congo) are literally killing each other to control the mines to sell minerals to computer companies, and even hip, cool Apple is buying from them.

But its the pope's fault...

[gangstarsonny]

Lisa Stansfiled makes this song what it is.

[memekakou]

Moi j'avais acheter le disque et je l'ai toujours !! trop bien !

[tregino]

Great to see ian Hislop Singing his little heart out

[Djokjo]

Y'en a plein que je reconnais ou ne connais pas. Dommage, j'aime bien savoir qui est qui.Ils devraient mettre le texte de chaque gars qui chante avec leur nom, ça serait cool !

[chip131313]

I am assuming that they all died over there because there is no way in hell that this version could have made any money whatsoever.I hope these artists each kicked in a few thousand to send over there,cause this version is complete horse shit.

[PippinRally]

@chip131313 It was number one for three weeks.

[garyrokahr]

what better way to revive a flagging career than a good charity song

[playthemusic]

what a crappy version...

they dont even get close to the original. a shame to cover such a great song.

[1998gina]

The original is the best but this one is good,too.I love Cliff Richard's voice.

[dutchgirl16]

pffft....

[WWEChampion16]

who's the guy in the hat at 3:28?

[lia304]

Although the original will always be the best the fact that it is continually being renewed so that the message isn't forgotten is wonderful!!! Maybe there will still be a remake of it in 2212 as long as it continues to help those in need!!!

[challenger7010]

They should have shown more of Cathy Dennis in this video.

[TheTrivshiz]

Maybe they don't know it's Christmas time because they don't actually celebrate Christmas...

Different religions are out there, people...

[lia304]

@TheTrivshiz It isn't about the fact of them celebrating Christmas, it is the fact of giving and helping. Our Christmas spirit being spread to them with help from the hunger and starvation!!

[killustrator]

This fucking blows. Who are these people?

[littledotty27]

36? do you mean 26?

[yarxi1]

36 years, the music hasn't changed, only the singers and they are all good. Only difference is most of us don't recognize them. Message is still the same.

[pineapple916]

This version is pretty bad but i think the one they did in 2004 was the worst!!!

[mshow81]

This version compares favorably, in my opinion, with the original. :) :)

[challenger7010]

Who's the gal in the red ruffles ?

[denniswilsonfan]

It may not be sung as good as the original but the message is still the same. these singers didn't have to give up their time to perform for charity. what did you do for someone less fortunate than you? If sitting on your comp and talking smack about the generousity of others is all you did, then you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[stugats1]

who are these hacks

[cyberdragon9721]

1984 version rocks ass!!!! this sucks!!

[KylieDumbleton]

Bananarama is NOT the only group to have performed in this version and the original. Did you happen to miss the Goss brothers awful inclusion?

Who ever thought this was a good idea has no idea!

[Rosyredlips76]

This is fucking awfull!!!!!!!!!

One of the Goss brothers singing Bono's bit? Are you kidding me??????

[Rosyredlips76]

This is fucking awfull!!!!!!!!!

[HotRod11686]

The 1984 version is the only version they ever play on the radio. Original FTW!!!!

[SueSnell]

I don't know who any of these people are.

[Allto94]

@SueSnell the first is Kylie Minogue

[SueSnell]

@Allto94 - Yes, actually she was the only one I thought I knew - Kylie. thx.

[BaeMx3]

That's the worst version :D:D The Version with Justin Bieber is even better..

[BKAllmighty]

@BaeMx3 you do realize that the charity song with Justin Bieber in it is a completely different thing right? The song is different, it's not christmas themed, and the organization is different. If your joking, than lol.

[sheepdog723]

How came these little bastards don't move where the food is?

[tomboz777]

Musically speaking-they should all be round up and shot quite frankly.

[504pro]

Garbage....no heart. they dont feel it. they prob could give two shits about poor people in general.

[ssm2407]

Insulting version of the 1984 classic, used more as a platform to promote SAW - the X factor of their day, hence the media luved them & their manufactured clones. And WTF is Cliff Richard doing there.....where was he when the original came out ? To be fair to the other acts, they werent around when the original was made, but Cliff has no excuse. Wat a Disgrace he is!

[reginaschaefer]

It's sad to realise that almost 20 years later the situation hasn't improved at all and this song is up to date...

[phantomhacker90]

its not about best verison its about doing some good at christmas time

[thecolombiakid]

this version is horrible!

[roxydog2004]

Like Sam Kinison said they live in a fuckin desert nothin grows out there nothin is ever goin to grow out there take them to where the food is, my favorite saying ................SEE 1 DO 1 TEACH 1

[2011PutYourHandsUp]

the best version everrrrrrrrrr

[denny5545]

I didnt even know this version existed until someone posted it on Facebook. Its OK but not as good as the original version...

[bonozevolik]

This version really sucks

[arhodo]

WTF is this shit?

[trifire189]

good version no doubt about that but i agree that the original is the best

[vdveenusa]

This is terrible, they're having fun... do they know what they are singing about...? It lookks like they are thinking about the 20 grant they'll get when they go home to their life of luxury...

[cantforgetyou]

@vdveenusa Crying over these hungry people will not give them any food, so I think that the artists can have some fun, between the serious lines. And it's the director of this video that you should blame. He coud have taken out the laughing parts. But who cares. It's 20 years old. Still the best version though.

[vdveenusa]

@cantforgetyou . Okay okay you've got a point, but if you think this is the best version..... you must be lonely...

[cantforgetyou]

@vdveenusa Ha, ha, ha. No I'm not lonely I've got friends with bad tastes, just like me. Have a nice christmas.

[ToonReel001]

@cantforgetyou I have to agree here. There are times to be serious about the causes and people in need but it can't hurt to find some fun in helping people. No wonder so many people aren't gonna be fond of charity if they are ordered to be miserable about it. Must you solely use scare tactics or depression fuel to help the world?

While not as good as the original, my weakness for 80s pop style makes this kinda charming to me. Interesting they gave it more of a 'verse and chorus' structure.

[cantforgetyou]

@ToonReel001 I'm a big Stock Aitken Waterman fan. So that's why I love this version the most. And Mike Stock is 'verse and chorus' producer/writer. So he changed it. Have a nice christmas.

[BunnyManBridge]

Who in the hell are these people????? They SUCK!!!!!

[cantforgetyou]

@BunnyManBridge Look up 'Sonia - Can't forget you'. One of the best songs ever written and produced.

[kaieo]

NUMBER NINE? this is number 1! they done it for charity as well! (unless the original is number 1 ;) )

[jrock2264]

I guess the big difference is that everybody in the original was famous and, like, who are these people?

[whatshernameify]

2:00 stacey solomon? 

[antoniocb27]

This is an "ok" attempt but no way it will top the original. In fact, I prefer the Band Aid 20 to this version. Thank you ayways for keeping the spirit of giving ALIVE !

[bigdsears]

Man I'd rather listen to fingernails across a chalkboard

[ShortTrackNews]

Wow does this version suck

[scsavino]

HORRID>

[AntonioTheGrace]

A PARTE KYLIE.... CHI CHèZZO SONO QUEGLI ALTRI?????

[dinolein]

a great version was raped

[lookingfortalent2007]

@dinolein

PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME~!

[ASYLUM227]

@dinolein thats sad really it is youll never forget that i know but hope life is better for u now

[ThatBritishVlogger]

This record is terrible... Anyone else notice that everyone in this video was signed to Pete Watermans label. They took a classic song and tainted it by using it as a PR gimmick for one label

[pandemits]

THE ONLY PART I LIKE BEST THAN THE ORIGINAL IS THE "TONIGHT THANK GOD IT'S THEM INSTEAD OF YOU"...

[chris276100]

This version was very much of its time. The artists were the most popular around and it made a lot of money. So what if it wasn;t as good as the original .... Why do people have be so up their own arses about it?

[skaggsey]

@chris276100 I agree 100 % - both versions unique in their own way - unbelievable the things people find to whine and argue about . . .:D

[jaysojay72]

@chris276100 is it cos there mostly english, not yanks?

[LeCutter]

@chris276100 Uh maybe because these so called "talented" people couldn't do something original? That's the mark of true talent.

[mvmv73]

nothing to see ... 1984 will always be the best...

[panijyoca]

BEST version E V E R "Gossylicious" with Matt & Luke Goss ......love it

[ezrafrida]

@killielass, I hear you, but that I also agree when mothers in the US have no means of supporting their kids and go on public aid, so I end up supporting their kids, and the worst is that they keep having kids and no prospect of jobs are anywhere to be found. I am not referring to the parents who have lost their jobs or are going through financial problems.

[killielass]

why not stop these people from having kids that they cannot feed,its cruel to bring kids ito this world that they cant take care of.

[jangie69]

this version f***en sux............

[schnurpsel79]

die erste version ist die beste!!!!

[threpsi]

@schnurpsel79 afto leme re paliomalaka oli mas....ti to epanalamvanis?

[Wildboys06]

This is the worst in a Band Aid song

[taurus1269]

This is what happens when mediocre talented singers do too much blow and designer drugs...also, who's the "happy go lucky" fellow at 3:05 and the geriatric "pimp daddy" wanna be at 3:12? I agree 1984 was the best...they were all at their best.

[missbabyice]

What a terrible version.

[zarazowskijr]

THIS SUCKS BIG BALLS

[threpsi]

@zarazowskijr re paliomalaka...erxonte xristougenna...giati to vrizis etsi to komataki?

[samuraiskie]

1984 version is the best!

[threpsi]

@samuraiskie to kseroume re arxidi

[threpsi]

whos that pretty girl at 0:23?

[virgil106]

@threpsi : that's Aussie singer/actress Kylie Minogue

[virgil106]

@threpsi : that's Aussie singer/actress Kylie Minogue.

[cyclonegt7]

You know what THIS SUX

Is this not some big nose pickle eating effort to cash in on easy money the easy way?

Come up with something new!

How about The Bedroom Intruder Christmas - Get that son of a bitch to sing for Africa. That would sell. If you did it right.

[antimarxism]

Major FAIL. So much fail in this video, it really doesn't need any comments.

[bingoace]

this is by far the worst version. The original and Band Aid 20 are fine

[MrErb23]

i agree too!!!

[mitzi32996]

ORIGINAL VERSION IS THE BEST! THUMBS UP!

[LadyAragon71]

@mitzi32996 I put the wrong one, I agree with u.....the original version is the BEST!!!
