The original 1984 version is unbeatable, beyond the additional technology in the other two later versions, I didn't like them. This mix has a better sound than the original, but I only like the parts where the original singers from 1984 sing, and the repetition of verses didn't seem good to me. A remix of the versions separately would have been better. The extended version from 1984 is obviously post-produced, because it sounds better.

No, just no, so many people are struggling worldwide, all these billionaires are asses, they need to stop preaching to us, they have the money, they should donate.

A versão original era linda e esta também é. Ao invés de ficar debatendo qual é a melhor, deveríamos debater em porque este mundo não melhora???

Always been my favorite Christmas song…❤

84 version artists had much better voices and sooo much more talent than the other versions even 89 was sooo much better than this cant capture magic twice after the 84 version

Of course, we do know! even befor You.

pile of s... it would have been relevent if this was now about Gaza and the Palestinians. that would have been something....

Omggggggg 😢😢....I was 13 when the first one came out and this made me cry just as much as the first....❤❤

Old history Ethiopia is now in a new journey Pls. Compose a new song for the new era

❤💪

💪😍

Ethiopians are early christians. Yes, we know Christmas since early Christianity. The Ethiopian people demand Band Aid and Bob Geldof cease and desist the music that purposely designed to erodes African values, racist, judgemental, prejudice, and defaming. NOW! Bob Geldof,take off your hands from Africa!ኢትዮጵያን የነካ የለውም በረካ!

I remember the release of original 1984 single well and also people in the papers and on TV saying it was a great cause but the song was forgettable. Looking back with the context of 40 years, how wrong does that seem now?

They've got a newer take of Bono singing his famous line ('well tonight thank god...") playing over the 1984 footage of him singing it - is that a mistake?

band aid 2 should be included as welll

David, George and Sinead 🥺

Absolutely beautiful song that still gets me choked up. It is awesome that Ethiopia is no longer in famine, but the world is still filled with the starving and malnourished and that is what this song is still trying to combat. Feed the World! Can we agree on that and stop bashing the song? The lyrics might reference Africa, but the story of hunger and homelessness is a global plague. Fight about it when everyone has a full belly and has a safe place to call home. Until then, your disparaging comments are simply part of the problem.

We, Ethiopians, are very grateful for what the Band Aid did 40 years ago during one of our trying moments. However, Ethiopia has come a long way since then. I don't understand the motive behind the release of this remix video now without context. Do they make remix videos about the great famine in Ireland and make money? Trying to make money by showing dying children is really low.

The best version of the song

This was terrible song. 40 years later what change has been made except more non profit colonization

Ed Sheeran has left the chat

Still basic! Still true! Feed the world!

Sorry for you, the bored old man!!!

The original is way better than this version! So sad that the World is wors now!

Were can I watch the new one I hear it’s out but cannot find it

The 2004 version will always remind me of being a kid when they debuted Band Aid 20 on all 5 channels simultaneously, I remember being so confused but happy to see Busted on every single channel hahaha

I'm sorry to say, but this version looks lazy and too samey.

'The drum, bell, song and band aren't rhythmic.''Do you know hunger entered Ethiopia in 1991GC, 1983EC.'

garbage

Sorry but for me it's the original 1984 version that I prefer out of them all

The importance of the mission remains the same, but this mix just reinforces how the quality of each subsequent recording after 1984 declined. The artists just fail to rise to the level of the original.

Es gibt keine bessere Version als die Originalversion aus den 80ern!!

The 80's can't beat anyone.

Sending love from the United states, Tampa Bay Florida. We have a lot of homeless people here, a lot of hungry people and not enough caring people and not enough answers to get people back on their feet. The pandemic only made everything worse. I went from having a home and a business to becoming homeless and living in my car in a very brief time. It ended my marriage, until winter of 2022, I slept in a folding chair on a sidewalk outside of a public library. I developed weeping cellulitis, ulcers in one leg, and spinal stenosis which required surgery. I am basically now in a nursing home at 62 dreaming of a life that I had just a few short years ago. I keep telling myself I'm going to get well and get out of here, get a job and start earning money I'm getting a place to live again. Maybe it's a pipe dream but I don't want to die here. I'm grateful to see the dream of Band-Aid still alive, still raising awareness, and hopefully that will extend to everybody all across the planet who are trying to get their lives back in this post pandemic world. Today is Thanksgiving in America. I pray everyone across the planet will find peace. I pray the soldiers will lay down their weapons and look into the eyes of their fellow man and see the strength in our diversity. I pray we will find brotherhood in each other's eyes that brings unity, forgiveness, strength and Hope to this post pandemic war-torn world, Have a blessed day.

That gave me goosebumps seeing 1984 to 2024 pop stars some sadly no longer here brought back for this 40th anniversary of Band aid what be amazing let's do Live Aid 40th 1985 -2025 in London and Philadelphia again with mix artists from all 4 decades 80s,(including 60s and 70s ) 90s, 00s,10s and 20s 1985 Live Aid was brilliant work done raised millions let's end poverty 💙 ❤️

...What is your agenda now?!.... C.I.A

Regarding for that I will stuck forever for the 1984 original rather than 2024 version.

It's all shock value instead of getting their points across. The older version was better. Remakes are often like this. Just shock value now.

Bowie! ❤ so many fine voices gone now 😢 from the original Band Aid. Liking the new artists here, blending the old and new.

i miss u one direction

Im love it Band aid❤

Why not write a original song instead of remaking this one over and over. Atm this song is competing with other versions of itself on radio stations and spotify charts...

Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

I am with the original all the way

I'd rather starve than ever watch this again

Woke aid

ገናን እናውቃለን

La parte de Sinead O'Connor me pone la piel de gallina.

A highly social song, composed to raise funds for famine in Africa. The lyrics contain a call to action and awareness of social injustice, encouraging compassion and sharing during the festive season.

Indeed we know it's Christmas come to Ghana and see for yourself this song which is supposed to be aid for Africa has caused more harm for Africa we have lost a lot of investment, tourists and self confidence through the images that the song video and the images the western media portrait Africa to be do the people of Ukraine know it's Christmas not the whole people of Europe u might think you are helping, a country in Africa is going through a difficult time not the whole continent it's hard time u drop this stupid colonial mindset
