christmas is crap. The things we do at christmasd are no different to the things we do every day. Don't pretend chirstmas is any different. I don't bother with chirstmas decorations any more. My theory is that they can be put up everyday and why wait to put something up which you can already imagine within ur inner mind. im creating a new form of celebration for my community and we dont bother with christmas and we have created our own celebrations free from religious influence.
although i dont understand why you celebrate christmas at all without the religion, seeing as its celebrating the day Jesus was born. sort of ironic really
I like this version a lot but i much preferred the original - but what does the record matter?? It's those Starving people in Africa who do matter. Well done Geldof!! :D xx
The point being that a bunch of extremely wealthy people are preaching to a bunch of poor people about giving money they dont have to a bunch of extremely poor people while they go out and buy their 5th house and feed their pure bred pets amounts of food that could feed the whole continent of Africa for a year.
The original had way more emotion in it. When the singer's held their notes, you actually felt the emotion, and not them just singing the words like in this version. Their voices sound very unoriginal and powerless. It's really amazing how a song made 25 years ago can still convey so much power and emotion.
beh insomma, anche in quella del 1984 c'erano artisti che ora sono illustri sconosciuti... certo forse qua ce ne stanno di più, comunque un gruppo con coldplay, bono, paul maccartney e soprattutto, radiohead, è comunque degno di nota.. poi dai anche travis, robbie williams e un altro paio han fatto comunque una carriera più che dignitosa..... certo quel rappino nel mezzo è totalmente fuori luogo
il tempo passa ed i cantanti cambiano...nel 1984 quei cantanti erano quasi affermati ed ora sono dei miti...questi del 2004 mi dispiace dirlo ma semimeteore..,esclusi coldplay e bono..ma la parte rap!!!!!!
Dovresti aspettare il 2024 per conferma. C'è che in 20 anni la frubilità della musica è radicalmente cambiata e tutto si consuma molto più in fretta... comunque metà dei partecipanti a Band Aid, ai tempi era molto famoso soprattutto per la questione "video killed the radio star", cioè l'avvento della musica in televisione...
merry christmas to everyone and even the people that you and i cant stand and even them people that are not that known but we all share our christmas love and friendship
to all of those who are putting this song down it does not matta how it is sung the words are wats important! it's supposed to be sending a msg maybe u should pay attention 2 dat instead!
am sorry mate if you don't have anything positive to say i rcomend you dont say anything atall.. not matter how they project this song it will always have the same meaning.
A few things...first of all - Merry Christmas...2nd of all - twenty years after the original recording/version of this song, it's admirabale and disturbing that a new generation of singers wanted to remake this song into their own version. Way too often are todays' singers re-making songs into their version and I have yet to hear a remake to even come close to the original. Get some originality folks! Continue the message by continuing the efforts of BAND-AID.
im 14 and listened to both versions and prefer this one.., but hey im 14 ofcourse i do, and i dont think the rapping wrecks it.. i dont perticularly like it but i think it just goes to show the variety they put into this project and how much everyone cares
These young artists excluding Bono and The great Mr. McCartney wouldn't think about doing this nowadays, their too damn selfish and their own songs are about lust and sex. We had style back in the 80's and our artists cared. These young artists wouldn't get any airplay back in the 80's that was music. I'm proud to be 45 years old. MTV was MTV back in the 80's now I don't dare watch it.
Still prefer the 1984 version hehe. Better vocals and its classic. Hate the rapping bit in the middle of this though. Really spoils it. Wouldn't be as bad if it didn't have that.
I was sining along to this (badly lol) then they got to the part when they were showing the clips...i went silent and didnt make a sound till the end!
It makes me cry to think this is realy happening (i know i sound rava hippiefied BUT)
actually. after listening to this song again done like this. i changed my mind. i do like the rapping. it shows yet another culture. this is a beautiful song and it was done beautifully. whoever recorded it. kudos to you.
i love this. the rapping was over the top but its so powerful to hear so many cultures and people singing together in such a moving song. all in all great.
