@Orlabobz The fact that Bono got 'his line' in this makes the whole thing pointless. It's become a stupid celebrity scam now. Bono should have let his ego fuck off for a while and given the line to someone else.
@sluice Is not about ego! Geldof and Bono are friends and the line was especially given to Bono back in the 80s... read more about Live Aid before talking!
Theres nothing like the original...but each decades has it stars...my favourites here is Sugarbabes and the beautiful black girl. Merry christmas people.
I actually prefer this version to the original. For a start, I heard it before the other two. Busted were also my favourite band when they were going and they sure looked and sounded good in this one, even if they didn't have many of the lines to themselves. And on top of that this version is much more rock oriented, which is more my style. I can thank Charlie Simpson, Justin Hawkins and Dan Hawkins on that one.
I can only imagine what a new one would be like!! like with Rihanna, Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Beyonce, Pitbull, Katy Perry, Adele,Ne-Yo, Bruno Mars etc!!! Would be Great!!
CRAP, CRAP AND CRAP..... im sorry to say this but the people suffered for this song as they worried about it being music sensitive by incorp all forms other music which JUST DOSNT WORK....it was an EPIC FAIL funds wise also, ILL TELL YOU WHY.............
DIDO = FAIL
SUGABABES = EPIC EPIC EPIC FAIL
BONO/ HOARSE = FAIL
RAPPING =F.A.I.L
and the song was chopped to hell....... i just hope they rememember that many will die due to lack lusting funds cuz of their trying to be music correct, idoits!.
This version is a lame, polite and sorry version of the original one in eighties. However, the cause is good and therefore it is better than nothing. On next band aid, it would be great to see singers that have some edge, name, carisma, personal voice beyond the average christmas song, because the original one had it all and still sounds new and cool, like recorded last week!
Each arangement has its benefits. I have now seen 4 Versions. And each of them has Positive and Negative Sides. But I wouldn't break them up and make a whole new version. It would be destroying for the Music. That concludes my opinion. Just enjoy the Music. I know i am.
Fair play to Damon Alburn. He wasn't asked to contribute to the song in any way at all but he showed up and offered to make tea/coffee for everybody on the day, as it was for charity!!!
The only lyric that annoys me is the one so perfectly delivered by Bono: "Tonight thank God it's them instead of you." Well, I wish it was none of us! I certainly don't thank God that ANYONE is struggling at Christmas or any time--but maybe that's the point of the lyric.
2:08 is pignose time, in the beginning they quickly pacify the brit purists with mccartney on bass, martin coldplay on piano (happily) and robbie williams, but most embarassing is bono showing how much he improved on the effects since 1984 -- even worse than the later warm ups!!
Ok the original Band Aid I knew them all..other then Paul, Bono, Dido and Chris Martin I have NO IDEA who the rest are!!! For example please tell me who the lads are at 2:15!!
there is no way u can top the original, but this is a damn good interpretation. mega respect to all that took part in the band aid 20 and the original band aid.
3:23 MACCA. So glad paul mcCartney & chris martin are involved on this & thom yorke from radiohead on piano. Better than the original i think, has more soul
@ns2vicente You do realize most of the artist IN the video are atheists do you? And that christmas is also celebrated by people who don't belevies in god.
really yeah,i finally found this beatiful version,whoa! its the only music ive heard when iwas woking on wingate hotel december 2007 imissed that when i first heard this! goose bumps all over me....totaly feel ilike it,the most coolest christmas song!GOD take me back there please!
how could anyone dislike this music? it's either an athiest or a sore loser
