Listening to David Soul's Silver Lady - BEST SONG EVER MADE!

Band Aid 30 video has just been shown for the first time on XFactor. Goes on sale tomorrow, with iTunes giving 100% back to the cause.

No clue what's going on here!

Neither do I.

It would make a great christmas number one though!

Better than some crappy X Factor winner!

Indeed. 

Someone should set up a Facebook page for this purpose. 

It's actually quite catchy upon listening the second time.

Not sure how to translate.

This could be 2014's internet viral music video's answer to Gangnam Style.

New band aid song is terrible....

Sorry but instead of making a song, why don't all those who sing in it, donate themselves, they have more money than most of the UK..... wankers

Managed to avoid hearing it so far.

Yep, I hate seeing Bono on my TV saying stuff "these people are drying, money is tight but I'm sure YOU can find some money to give to this cause... etc. etc. etc." I know Ireland's in a recession but surely international mega star Bono has a large amount of money just sitting in his bank account.

"Hi we're One Direction please give money, we know times are tight" HANG ON! this is the biggest band in the world right now and travel in separate jets so they should have plenty of money too.

Yet it's poor people who give a small amount of money to donate to charity and the richer the person the less likely they are to seem to donate.

Yup! i hate these Africa adverts.... "so and so has to travel miles for water, which is dirty"..... what about all the people who are in need of help here?

Charity should come at home first! 

Pisses me off when i see celebrities on TV saying.. give money etc when they have millions.... only charity i give to is the Royal Britain Legion. 

I know people like Bill Gates gives ALOT of money to charity every year.

I'm not big on the government giving lots of money to countries like India and then make a load of cuts to save money.

To keep this music related.
I hate Bono.

This basically summarises a Telegraph article I read earlier today. I must say I agree with the article (and your opinion).

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...d-Aid.html

There's also an article from The Guardian, written by Fuse ODG, which criticises the content of the lyrics

I'm extremely cynical of celebrity causes. While a genuine gesture of altruism may indeed exist, lets not forget it's a win-win situation for any celebrity taking part. 

The multimillionaire, Irish tax exile Bo o had an unfortunate accident the day after he filmed the latest version of the track.

Someone has just said this to me......

The music in the 80's was shit.

Clearly has no taste at all, as i was born in 1991, the 80's era of music is miles better than the current music and the 90's.......

They clearly don't want to have fun, while wanting to Break free and then they can Relax...

Ridiculous that like. I've got a few 80s songs on my phone. I mean, who doesn't love a bit of Rod Stewart, Elton John, Men Without Hats, The Human League, Rick Astley, Aha and so on.

Following on from my previous post, I'm now doing my uni work listening to a whole array of Rod Stewart songs including:

Forever Young
Sailing
Maggie May
Rhythm of My Heart

Went into Grainger Games at Darlington this afternoon and was rather disgusted to hearing them play a Lostprophets song. I wanted to be sick!

Anyway, here is something else.

Was listening to Radio 1, and Greg James has just played this beast! I feel 13 again. 

The summery sort of upbeat dance songs have been getting on my nerves a bit recently (it's a seasonal thing). Have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the likes of Keane, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, etc, as of late.

Aye it definitely works that way! There's only so much of Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness that one can take.

I quite often listen to Digitally Imported at work, and I've been a bit hooked to their Big Room House stream as of late. Some decent stuff on there, and a bit harder than your usual upbeat dance songs. Aside from that, I've also been hooked on the Absolute Classic Rock station too.

They brought back some hazy memories.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax - Extended version with instrumental for the first 4 mins haha!

Pretty good version, this version was also used on the Virgin Airlines 25 years advert!

Don't normally like David Guetta, but after hearing "What I did for love " on Sunday I can't hear it enough, really like it, just waiting for him to put it on YouTube... 

Christmas songs for me...=D

Aye we had the new Band Aid on last week in history, as we argued it was slightly relevant to the topic we were doing...

Worst version ever, not sure why they needed to bring it back out!

Probably just a way of raising money for the ebola outbreak, people will buy it because of the original

The singers could of just donated money instead of singing........ how much wealth is between them all?

(02 Dec 2014, 7:43 pm)Michael wrote The singers could of just donated money instead of singing........ how much wealth is between them all?

Did think about that aye, unless they have as well as. Either way, irrespective of the song quality, it will make a ton of money for a very worthwhile cause, it amazes me how even when as a country we aren't in the best shape financially, people can still find money to help those who are far worse off.
