Is this the worst ever Christmas song?
 

I mean, it's just bad. The best that can be said about it is that it's for a good cause, but even then consigning an entire continent to "chimes of doom" is a bit condescending, as is the "no rivers flow/only water is bitter sting of tears" ... how about the biggest river in the world?

The chorus is catchy I guess.

... I stand corrected.

Yeah, when you listen it just sounds like they’re shaming Africans for not being more festive

It's a pretty awful song, great cause as you said but as a song... terrible.

I love the original. Disliked the one's which followed.

did madge feature on the original?

this wasn’t as bad as 3

I didn't even know this one existed, I only ever heard the first one and the recentish one...

Never heard this one either?!

The second one is a guilty pleasure of mine :ninja2:

3 and 4 (especially 4 with the awkward lyric changes) are just terrible though. I always liked 1 despite the obvious preachyness and the fact I'm not fond of Bob Geldof in general

band aid 20 is the best

I'd forgotten about the second one. So many ****ty artists on one record.

Bros
Sonia
Jason Donovan
Marti Pellow
Big Fun

:laugh:

Sugababes impact! Dizzee ****** can roT tho

1 > 3 > 2 > 4 imo

As if r*tard is filtered

******

I'm not even sure who she is ... is she the one with spiky hair?

why is re tard filtered :skull:

No, the ginger Scouser. Eurovision legend, Lily Savage's co-star and David Van Day hater.

Mariah Carey is not my kind of singer anyway, but adding Bieber into the newer version is just flat out offensive.

The line there won't be snow in Africa has always annoyed me

No, she's the one with the ginger curly hair.

She's pretty much known for this...

Also thank God it's them instead of you...harsh!
