[@brayonne1755]

LOVED your reaction! Don't apologize for calling out names, I'm so glad to see someone watch this and know the artists in it! Thanks, much love to you 🙏

[@buckeyeclayfan]

Agree. Don't apologize for saying the names of these amazing musicians who gave their time and talents for this great cause!

[@Paul77ozee]

Finally someone who knows the singers.

[@rachelk8937]

Beautiful reaction. As a child of the 80’s, I get teary every time I watch the video as well.

George Micheal gets me every time it’s so sad he’s not here anymore but this song is one of the best memories of him in this great song raising money for one’s that needed it I want to thank all the band members who took part in this

[@rockyreyes1440]

One of the most influential era in music was that very year thanks for reacting to this song

[@Quakerstate17]

For me this makes me feel like a all year round Christmas song thumbs up Mr P

[@samkavaman1980]

I’m with you brother. I tear up every time I listen to this song

[@Paul77ozee]

Bono didn’t want to sing the line “well tonight thank god it’s them instead of you” but Bob Geldof knew it would have the biggest punch to the listeners. And it did. I still get chills when he sings it. A lot of people need to watch the BBC doco that inspired Bob Geldof to do something. I still remember when l was 7 when this came out and the footage of the starving children with a thousand flies around them.

[@peterwilkins7013]

Me too. It really annoys me when people criticise this line. Many people who have a house, water, food and health probably do thank God for what they have and that they are not starving or homeless etc.

I wanna get my youth back living those 80s once again!

Hi guys this is a reaction for the song "Do They It's Christmas" by Band Aid

[@holgerschink1341]

i just love this song, beautiful reaction 😍

[@jwsel]

This was the original charity song for Ethiopian famine relief. Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats saw a BBC documentary and called Midge Ure of Ultravox and the organized this session. The song was written, mixed, and released in about one week so it could be released before Christmas. Being number one at Christmas in the UK is a big deal and the song became the biggest-selling record in UK history. (It’s now no. 2.) We Are The World was recorded two months later and Geldof went on to organize Live Aid the following July.

[@Paul77ozee]

A lot of these reaction vids need to watch that doco to fully appreciate this song.

[@glennallen239]

I Understand about seeing all these artists. I am 56 so when this song and USA for Africa song We are the World came out in the 80's.

[@ThePaulieShow]
