Dreadful. (Mostly) white Europeans charge in to save the hapless and helpless entire continent of Africa (again). Is egomaniac Geldof aware he can't have any more than one knighthood?
Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue and Matt Goss.What about the 1989 version ???now that version is terrible. Who did Bono's line on that one?
Why is it people here in the uk call Geldof "sir Bob" when i didnt think irish people could use the sir title even if they have a knighthood?
Nobody calls Bono "sir Bono" because of this so why does Geldof use the title?
Agreed.On don't get me wrong... the original was phenomenal, corny, nonsensical lines and all. The point where Bono comes in still gives me goosebumps... it might be his best vocal delivery ever. He sounds so smooth and powerful at the same time.
The ones that have followed just haven't done it for me. There's no need to redo something that was done so well the first time, and especially no need to redo it every 5 years, and reeeeeally no need to make the lyrics worse.
I mean... why would you remake the song, get the original singer to do the most famous line in the song, and change the line? That's just silly.
it's better than the X Factor Christmas number 1.
That one is great too. On Youtube, there's a making of from the original Band Aid and Bono sounds quite bad while rehearsing. The final line sounds magnificent however.I can't decide if Bono's best moment is "Well tonight..." or "Love, slowly stripped away...".

There was a photo in the paper this morning... I recognised Bob, Bono and Ed Sheeran(well to be fair his head is kinda hard to miss). I think I'm kinda out of touch with today's music.
