Band Aid 20 - Your Comments

[Turambar]

My opinion is don't waste your money on such tripe as you can bet some of the money is going in someones pocket and not to charity and no doubt half the "artists" featured are doing it boost their career rather than out of a sense of goodwill. If you really want to support the charity then why not donate directly?

I'm sure I cannot be the only one to remember this (somone here in the Office does anyway!)

SO Band Aid IV : Tatu, Garth Brooks, ALL of the x-factor contenders...

Any other suggestions?  They'd make more money from pledges NOT to release it!

 :-o

IMHO - Its a Piece of crap. The DarknesS? OMG. Whats gone wrong here. Listen to the mix (sorry to be a music critic, but it's what i did in uni :-) , the guitar sounds like someone in a guitar lesson, the solo completley dosent fit the song. They are a bunch of talentless gits all trying to get their carrer's an extra brownie point imho. There are loads of people calling my local radio station saying they will pay for 10 copies if :

1. They dont actually recieve the record.

2. The radio station dont play it any more.

Hahahah! I cant beleve there are people like Busted involved in this, actually they won record of the year? Yeah, the record of the year that makes the best coaster.

Im sorry, there isnt a lot of talent about nowaday's it seems to get worse and worse the more bull they release, manufactured crap from shows like Pop Idol, and the like makes me sick. X factor, yeah in this case X = Poo. :-)

I think most points about this record have already been aired, it sounds like it was thrown together in about 3 hours, I cant beleve people like Paul Mcartney let themselves be in the video. Id be ashamed.

But saying that, It is for charity, and thats a good thing. Pity its not for some war charity, im sure the people fighting would stop instantly if they didnt release the song :-)

Don't panic gang, this version of 'Do they know...' will be forgotton and glossed over just like that crappy version in the late 80's with Kylie singing at the beginning.

You never hear any mention of THAT do you !
 :lol:

Oh yes? I have never heard of that version. It must be bad! lol Is there any way i can hear it (legally)

Regards,

This insane drivel ruined my Christmas. Thank god it's not at number 1 over here any longer.

If you don't like it then turn off the radio...  IMHO it's justified in reaching no 1 because it's raising funds for charity which is something desperately needed right now.

I don't like the song or most of the so called "artists" involved, but if some good can come out of it then it's a very good thing IMHO.

However, I daresay very soon the latest reality TV "personality" will release a record of mind-numbing levels of crappiness, which will be bought/downloaded as a ring tone/given too much airplay by every pre-pubescent or corporate sponsored radio station, thus claiming the number one spot and making yet more shed loads of money for the faceless suits forcefeeding us the endless diet of manufactured disposapop at the expense of true innovation.
