@@jacobsamorodin9937 This song was meant to bring awareness to the world of mass suffering. At this time, it was primarily famine in Africa. Now, it is man-made disasters worldwide. My point is, we have made it collectively worse. I always do what I can, but collectively, we are failing.
It's 2024. 40 years when this TIMELESS SONG, performed by the legends of the 1980's who came together for a common cause. I am so glad to have listened to the FIRST TIME it was released!
@@vvox1505yeppers they sure can. All the bling in the world can’t compensate for lack of talent. Life before auto tune meant you darn well better have talent.
@@Skiis44truer word were never spoken! I went and commented on the other 3 versions of the song and how awful they were, could hear pitch correction and auto tune all over them, pathetic! I also stated the original led to Live Aid! On Christmas the original is played! Let’s just say I was met with some push back. Graduating high school in 84, leave the dong alone every new VERSION it gets worse. Why dome original artist did other versions I don’t know. Just wanted to feed off your comments I couldn’t agree more…
38 years later and this song still rules at this time. To see Sting, Bono and Simon Le Bon standing together like that singing together will never be replicated in today's world. Enjoy that the fact they are still singing today and sound great. The 80's are and were the best decade. There will never be another one like it.
This original version 100 times better that the 2014. The amount of passion and emotion all artists have put in singing is just so beautiful to watch and listen. Always brings tears to my eyes.
I'll be pestering a certain radio station to play the original as Christmas approaches. It means more to people and it was George Michael's favourite🎤💕🎹🪕💕
Agree 100%, listening to this in November’23. Almost too painful remembering long lost friends almost 40 years ago. This song brings me right back to those times
Today is Jan 5 2024... this Christmas will be 40 years since this amazing song blessed us all. Amazing what we can do when we work together! I'll be listening to this masterpiece thru the year as always. I hope everybody has a safe and Happy 2024. See you here in November 2024!!!
I didn t like this song, but it is indispensible in the time that we're living in. Hope that COVID-19 will be over sooner rather than later. Una obra maestra. Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!
Singers of those modern versions sing too perfect, though they spoiled the original melody. Singers of the '84 version weren't perfect but they were genuine, and that's why the best version is the original.
It's 2022 and the bells still give me the same goosebumps... RIP David and George PS - It only took me all these years to realise that Sting sings the line with "sting" in it... not sure if it was intentional or not, but cute nevertheless
Haunting voice of David Bowie strucked deep into our humanity... Always on my playlist every christmas season to remind me of my graces ,sense of gratitude and most importantly to share it.
@@sandrapettersson9936 just a happy time back then growing up i thought,,, the music sure was better and fun as hell at concerts, oh yeah we had real mtv then to..
@@stephaniebaker2960 I agree with Bono, we need reality and reality isn't pretty. We must face the truth and how harsh it is. Just like abortion, which is unneccesary and brutal. Bono singlehandedly gave this song urgency with his line, and made me think of it as a serious matter instead of an average pop song! Bono delivered the key to make people not be so selfish and consider other's lives. It's the message this song was created for, to make people think and be aware. The same can be said of abortion, be considerate; that's someone's life.
Yes it is and Always will be the best version. I hate when today's generation of musicians , if that's what you call them try to sing these great songs and fail miserably .
One of the most legendary Christmas tracks ever created, and what a legacy it has! Phil Collins carrying the drums, and an iconic George MIcheal, What a time! A Merry Christmas to all! Wishing you guys all the best, and a great start to the upcoming new year! Literally a Christmas track that'll never stop getting stuck in your head around this time of year, espically on Christmas day and it's been a blast ever since it was released! Reminds me of the great times, and how time flies, and how grateful I am for it. All the best. Feliz Natal, Happy Holidays! 🎄☃🎁👋
All of these famous voices together in one place at one time needed a bonding force to make the song sound so good.....and that force was Phil Collins drums.....he was the glue to bring it to what it was.....close to perfect.....very close.....
Que increibles palabras .... las escribiste hace 6 años y justo ahora en plena pandemia de coronavirus se hacen perfectas para dar esperanza. I whish you undestand spanish.
Dziś nie ma z kim tego powielić. Lata 80. to czas wielkich gwiazd muzyki. Oni naprawdę śpiewali, a nie komputer za nich. Obecni artyści, to ledwie migoczące gwiazdki.
Wow!!! I’ve never heard this version before!!! Where have I been? So glad they got Boy George singing more. Love hearing him. Let’s all have a Happy Holiday. And love one another. Blessed Be in 2023!!!
WHO ELSE is waiting this Covid stuff finally go away and celebrate Christmas-2020 with our family and loved ones, hug them, and listen to this thinking, thanks God I'm here.
32 years later - I still so love this video, the 80s were a high water mark for Brits and Irishmen, including a young Bono, Duran Duran, Boy George (my favorite), Freddie Mercury, Spandau Ballet,
After listening to this version a billion times in the last 36 years, I am constantly amazed by how David Bowie, like an Eagle swooping in for a kill, ALWAYS sends a massive chill down me the moment his voice over kicks in and crushes everything preceding it. What an absolute master class act that dude was.
I love this whole song from the first time I heard it, but the same thing happens to me as you do when I hear David Bowie's voice: it's really moving and even solemn. Marvelous!
Agree, David Bowie is awesome and very missed. Bono's vocal are powerful and send chills as well. Very powerful singers. I love watching Duran Duran's John Taylor pulling on Andy Taylor's hat near the end of this video. John always liked to joke around. In the video Rio, John pushed Andy off the sailboat. Luckily Andy swam enough to survive that! Those two are like brothers, yet none of the Taylors in Duran Duran are related.
I was 15 yrs old when thus was recorded in now 52. Epic stuff .such great teenage memories .sad to think George Michael and David bowie are no longer here .phill collins on drums fantastic
Can't believe it's been 38 years since this epic event took place! We will always remember these British artists coming together with a common and selfless goal to make the world a better place. God Bless Them All...Always!
Omygosh these voices... nobody has talent like this these days... so beautifully orchestrated, what a amazing project to help our fellow brothers and sisters across the globe.. It still gives me chills to hear....
How I recall both first watching this Video along with hearing this song for the first time at Christmastime of 1984 when it first came out,enjoying hear it too.
I purchased this 45 and played it constantly because of this version on the “B” side. I loved hearing the speaking voices of the artists. Still loving it Christmas 2023.
iT is a christmas carol.......one of the prettiest I have ever heard......it makes me remind of those who have no idea about christmas....because they live another kind of liffe....no food ..... but they also deserve not to be forgotten
I love this song it has so many famous 80’s singers like George Michael, Phil Collins, David Bowie and Paul McCartney and they have famous bands aswell like Culture Club, Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran!! 😁
It's 36 years later and if we ever needed another Band Aid, it's now in 2020. The division, hatred, pain and suffering is beyond comprehension and it'll take much more than a Band Aid to cure it but it would be a great start.
it would be a big push towards rearranging people's minds to remember that we're going away from our hearts and mind's true belief, that we all were once united with Love, compassion for one another and Peace was the rule of the land all around the world.💏
Visit this song every year. Hard to believe David Bowie and George Michael are no longer with us. Makes me shed a few more tears on top of this heartfelt ballad for Africa. Just because it's 2018, please give and keep the plight to banish hunger going. Lord, Bless us Everyone ❤️
And be called names for trying to help? Look what happened to Mr Beast. He put 500 drinking wells in African villages, in all different countries on the continent….. was called just about the most horrific names. Nope. I’m not doing it anymore. You give, only to get dragged.
I never noticed that this version was not only longer but different by the way that the voices are more isolated. George Michael and Simon Lebon are not overlapping in the transition, Sting has his solo moment, and we hear more of Boy George’s voice, whom arguably have the greatest voice in that song, with the ever great George Michael. Boy George literally gives me goosebumps. He’s so in it, he’s owning the song. Legends! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤ My FAVORITE Christmas song 🎧. Play it everyday 20 times a day during December.. wasn’t born when it’s was release. My parents always play the regular version,, I love this version.. miss you David Bowie, miss you George Michael.
@@richodd2292 not really. Bono didn't want to sing the words thinking people would take it the wrong way. It's meant as a reflection of our lives. How many times have we gone through life saying "I'm glad that's not me".
It chokes me up each time i see and hear this video. I remember the day all radio stations played it at the same time same day! Goosebumps all over me! So sad ... so many gone! Best group ever! I refuse to hear the newbies trying to even go near to these artists...when singers used to really sing... Merry Christmas 2019
I'll sing this song in May, June, July, August, & Sept I don't even care. Heck I'll sing it all year long cuz let's face it; the less fortunate always deserve to be fed for sure.
Ancora oggi, dopo 38 anni ho i brividi quando l'ascolto. Non manca mai nelle mie feste natalizie.🎄 ❤🎄 Ho sentito e visto la rivisitazione, solo la musica e la Presenza di Bono la rendono ascoltabile.

"There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear."
Still relevant after 39 years.
Facts. And it's even worse today.
1000 times worse
I was just thinking the same thing. Many are suffering this year. War, homelessness, poverty...the list goes on.
So if you have homeless or poor next door to where you live, invite them to your Christmas dinner.
@@jacobsamorodin9937 This song was meant to bring awareness to the world of mass suffering. At this time, it was primarily famine in Africa. Now, it is man-made disasters worldwide. My point is, we have made it collectively worse. I always do what I can, but collectively, we are failing.
It has been 39 years and this song never ever gets old. Pure listening gold.
Rest in peace David Bowie and George Michael . I enjoy this wonderful song.
It's 2024.
40 years when this TIMELESS SONG, performed by the legends of the 1980's who came together for a common cause. I am so glad to have listened to the FIRST TIME it was released!
Listening in 2023. Legends!!!!!!!! Today's artists can learn a lot from them.

Totally agree !!! I'm an 80s girl as well. 😁🧡
Phil Collins bad ass drummer
@@camerong5513cry harder…
This original version 100 times better that the 2014.
The amount of passion and emotion all artists have put in singing is just so beautiful to watch and listen.
Always brings tears to my eyes.
😢😮😮😮😢😢😢
😢
Yes, I love this version to this day.
Amen to that
All these new artists try something extra, which is completely unnecessary
I remember watching this on MTV when it first was recorded Christmas 1984 I believe. Wow. Time has flown. I was in grade school.
El tiempo ⏲️⏱️ es un misterio no sé cómo puede pasar tan ligero.......
Christmas 2019 is coming. After 35 years this song is still the best.
YEEEES
@fardexwertyu This is the future, but not that one we dreamt about !
Amen to that!!
Nothing better. Best song of the 1900s
I'm playing it now
Greatest Christmas song of all time.... Wishing everyone a jolly Christmas!!!
This is my favorite version of this song. I wish radios would play this version.
It's George Michael's favourite too.
I'll be pestering a certain radio station to play the original as Christmas approaches. It means more to people and it was George Michael's favourite🎤💕🎹🪕💕
I've heard 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia play this full version.
2023 32 years old now and this song still brings tears to my eyes
The original band aid was released in 1984
Same here..🥺💕 Still very touching after the long time..❤
I listen to this every Christmas. The nostalgia it awakens is more painful, stronger, with each passing year.
I know the feeling. Stay strong and be safe!
I almost can't listen.
@@mpacino1224 because of the palpable nostalgia, right?
Agree 100%, listening to this in November’23. Almost too painful remembering long lost friends almost 40 years ago. This song brings me right back to those times
I get so happy when I hear the beginning of this song come on the radio!!
Today is Jan 5 2024... this Christmas will be 40 years since this amazing song blessed us all. Amazing what we can do when we work together! I'll be listening to this masterpiece thru the year as always. I hope everybody has a safe and Happy 2024. See you here in November 2024!!!
Will be here in november 2024 to celebrate the 40 anniversary!❤
Christmas 2021, grateful to hear this master piece

Absolutely the Dream Team of iconic musicians, Incredible song for an Incredible cause !
time magaine cover with sudan girl.... Google that shiz
1:30 Young Sting, Bono and Simon Le Bon together at one mic!? I dont think my female hormones can handle it! 😍😍😍
These were powerful rock stars of an era that will "never" be replicated.
Some excellent modern versions of this exist but nothing beats the '84 cut
+Greg K I can definitely agree with you there.
+Greg K yeah.... nobody beats the 80`s like this....
+Greg K I agree 100% I have this on vinyl!
+Greg K I agree, 100% - I don't know if its nostalgia or the naivety of the times or just the pure talent, but I prefer the 1984 version by far.
Singers of those modern versions sing too perfect, though they spoiled the original melody. Singers of the '84 version weren't perfect but they were genuine, and that's why the best version is the original.
It's 2022 and the bells still give me the same goosebumps...

Always on my playlist every christmas season to remind me of my graces ,sense of gratitude and most importantly to share it.
Boy George really has a nice voice. People don't always talk about him as they would George Michael, Bono, Simon Le Bon or Sting.
Boy Georges voice was so amazing. And he seem so glad. Still love that guy....and Midge, what an artist 😊
@@sandrapettersson9936 just a happy time back then growing up i thought,,, the music sure was better and fun as hell at concerts, oh yeah we had real mtv then to..
Bono shouts, you are right BG has a great voice and he is a great producer as well
Irene Emerson I agree but damnit Simon Le Bon has always been it’s it for me😆😆😆
Yep. He could sing. Id never take that away from him.
I'm not sure what's better. George Michael's voice or Phil Collins's drum playing. They're both amazing.
Phil can bang the sticks no doubt about that
OMG ..that awesome drumming by Phil Collins... bought this extended version,back in 1985..especially because of the drumming part in this version.. :)
I was only in elementary school, I can remember tearing at Bonos "thank God its them.." in particular. Even a 8 year old felt something in that
Bono was the reason why I got hooked on the video to begin with.....😁
Geldof didn't want that line in the song (thought it was too harsh) got talked into it
@@thesandsie13the2nd I agree with Geldof on that.
@@stephaniebaker2960 I agree with Bono, we need reality and reality isn't pretty. We must face the truth and how harsh it is. Just like abortion, which is unneccesary and brutal.

Indeed . What a time and what talent on one song. Never be repeated again in my lifetime
Back when they actually cared about RAISING money instead of making it💔
100% agree alltime crimbo song 🎉🎉❤❤❤
It's just not the same now. Every singer involved is a legend.
All of these famous voices together in one place at one time needed a bonding force to make the song sound so good.....and that force was Phil Collins drums.....he was the glue to bring it to what it was.....close to perfect.....very close.....
While we worry if our cup is half full or half empty, remember those with no cup at all. Merry Christmas.

Anyone else wish they could have been a fly on the wall for this gathering of talent?
Me
I do, such an amazing Christmas record and for such a good cause. ⛄🎄❄️.
This is true the 80s was&still is awesone.
A time when all of their voices were perfection.
Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever made
iT is a christmas carol.......one of the prettiest I have ever heard......it makes me remind of those who have no idea about christmas....because they live another kind of liffe....no food ..... but they also deserve not to be forgotten
Such a warm song I just love to hear all those great singer of the 80’s. Is now Summer 2023
The best band collaboration and best Christmas song ever. Back in the 80's they were just heartthrobs, now they are icons.
This should be number 1 in Christmas week, more relevant and truly has the spirit of Christmas
I love this song it has so many famous 80’s singers like George Michael, Phil Collins, David Bowie and Paul McCartney and they have famous bands aswell like Culture Club, Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran!! 😁
Iconic. Played this every Christmas Eve for 35 years. Stay well people!
It always makes me cry whenever I hear this song😊...just beautiful ❤
Et moi aussi, chaque année mon ami 👍
Still love this 38 years later❤
Some of the best singers of all time.....there is good in people love ya 1984!!
David Bowie is like the voice of God. I cannot help but wonder ... now it’s Christmas 2020, are there more starving people in the world 36 years on?
My wish this year - this song, new recorded, included everyone who wants to sing. Let us keep together and stay well.
It's 36 years later and if we ever needed another Band Aid, it's now in 2020. The division, hatred, pain and suffering is beyond comprehension and it'll take much more than a Band Aid to cure it but it would be a great start.
it would be a big push towards rearranging people's minds to remember that we're going away from our hearts and mind's true belief, that we all were once united with Love, compassion for one another and Peace was the rule of the land all around the world.💏
Aaaah, what an EPIC era and what an EPIC time for British Pop! The nostalgia is real!
Rachel Nell absolutely
Love my times and love those musicians
You do realize there is more than just British people
DroneTube yeh but that was a totally British initiative by great British musicians✊
I’m Egyptian btw.
being in high school in the 1980s was epic for me and this song and we are the world are the two most that touch me at xmas time to this day..
I love the extended drum. It's amazing.

38 years on, and this is the best musical artist collaboration for a Christmas song.
Absolute 80's magic! Merry Christmas everyone!!🎅
2019 is coming... still the best xmas song ever in the whole planet... 3😍😍😍😍
I never noticed that this version was not only longer but different by the way that the voices are more isolated. George Michael and Simon Lebon are not overlapping in the transition, Sting has his solo moment, and we hear more of Boy George’s voice, whom arguably have the greatest voice in that song, with the ever great George Michael. Boy George literally gives me goosebumps. He’s so in it, he’s owning the song. Legends! ❤
Of all the version ive heard. This one is the best for me i love it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ My FAVORITE Christmas song 🎧. Play it everyday 20 times a day during December.. wasn’t born when it’s was release. My parents always play the regular version,, I love this version.. miss you David Bowie, miss you George Michael.
Always number 1 christmas song for me ❤❤
All of the best to make one great song. Bono’s voice gives me major chills. Loving them all.
Gotta love Bono!
Boy George amazes me in this song
yea, "thank God it's them instead of you? " dumb line
@@richodd2292 not really. Bono didn't want to sing the words thinking people would take it the wrong way. It's meant as a reflection of our lives. How many times have we gone through life saying "I'm glad that's not me".
Bono is great and still is. Love him and U2 🤘🏻
More than 30 Years..and it still works every Christmas Time again..X-mas miracle....
Thank you Bob for the last 38 years, remembering my youth and thoughts which are essential at christmas time. All the best to you and Midge.
It chokes me up each time i see and hear this video. I remember the day all radio stations played it at the same time same day! Goosebumps all over me! So sad ... so many gone! Best group ever! I refuse to hear the newbies trying to even go near to these artists...when singers used to really sing... Merry Christmas 2019
I'll sing this song in May, June, July, August, & Sept I don't even care. Heck I'll sing it all year long cuz let's face it; the less fortunate always deserve to be fed for sure.
Una canción que recorrió el mundo con un mensaje de esperanza y solidaridad para aquellos que mas lo necesitan. Thanks Band Aid
The very best band aid ever .
Wow
Still amazing every year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
One of the most empowering songs ever . They were so so young We miss George Micheal and love Boy George and Phils drumming.
I was 11 years old when I first listened to this song. And still listening to it for 32 years now. A must on the list song every Christmas.
I listen to this song every year around Christmas time lol. Underrated classic filled with superstars 🔥🔥🤘🏻
The absolute best song ever. So many memories take me back to 1984.
One of the best Christmas tune of all time..loved it here in the Philippines..👍📀💿🇵🇭💖
Dieser Song ist viel mehr als nur ein Lied, Gänsehaut pur und das nach so vielen Jahren
Ancora oggi, dopo 38 anni ho i brividi quando l'ascolto. Non manca mai nelle mie feste natalizie.🎄 ❤🎄
Ho sentito e visto la rivisitazione, solo la musica e la Presenza di Bono la rendono ascoltabile.
Nothing compares to or beats this original 1984 version!!!!!!! It still goes strong after 34 years!!!!!!!

just legends.
Simply wonderful. Some dearly departed, some we are still blessed with hearing their voices. What an era and I’m lucky to have lived during this time.
