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.

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

The second one is a guilty pleasure of mine

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

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.

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

She's pretty much known for this...
