Good work, many nice voices. I wonder how many of harsh critics here could sing themselves. This performance is not perfect, but it sure is pleasant to listen to. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Thank you historiands. The best critic is one that is incapable themselves I agree.

What have these kiddies ever done to try and help ease poverty anywhere? I bet most of them don't even know what this song was about. It was probably just a chance to dress up and show off.

[andrewgjazz]

This was a professional production of a stage show called "Back to the 80"s". Yes it was a chance to get dressed up and show off and get paid in the process. The show is a send up of 80's music and High School Musical/Grease. It was so popular it had a return season!

0:56 - 0:58 .... why does everything now have to have this mechanically processed, materialistic "cutesy beautsy" GLEE sound to an otherwize heartfelt song ?!!?!?!?!

I really think that anyone downgrading this video seriously needs to step back and think, the song represents what were trying to do for Africa and is apart of a show which has humour, for the people slagging this video what you should really do is understand the amount of work that goes into a show and rehearsal time etc before making any comments or better still post a reply of your company doing this song for it to be slaged by others

I think you are right sistersmf

Im not quite sure how people are hating on this. I honestly thought it was AMAZING. I was just in a performance of Back to the 80s. We did Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now (Which was definately draggy.) I think the blocking and choreography on this is great, not to mention the vocals. The man in the front left (Whom I assume was Mr. Cocker) was a bit of comedic relief, but the rest were just knock-dead, spot-on beautiful.

@kaydeeisdead Yes maybe, I don't know. Though I am studying music and I am going to become a vocal coach and choir tutor. I am one of those few (unfortunatly) who just can't tolerate performing without putting down so much effort and rehearsing before, and I feel that when other just go up on a stage unrehearsed that it is, frankly, quite nonchalant.

Not saying these guys are like that, but it's not the best of performances and I know t could have benn by far better. Still, good attempt.

@Sistersmf I'm pretty sure this is from a performance of the jukebox musical Back to the 80's, which is why it feels like a parody. The whole musical is a parody. :)
