Agree. Yes, it is not as good as the first version but it is far better than all the other versions, they are embarrassing, Robbie Williams can't sing!
I didn't mind that one. It starts of nice with dido and a few other artists.. But not as good as this. This is so 90s I love it haha @@leewilliams2763
Didn't even know about this version. Grew up with these artists ❤❤❤ Love both the original and this versions ... Wow!! Sir Cliff Richard!!!! 🙏 Merry Christmas 2021, God Bless us all. Praise God we can see another Christmas, thank you Jesus.
My favourites are the original 1984 version as well as this version as they were both performed by my favourites artists of the 80's (Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Jimmy Sommervile and Bananarama) and the veteran (Cliff Richard). It was a pity that Rick Astley didn't join to sing in this version. I always get goosebumps everytime I listen to these songs every December since 1984/1989. It is good to keep the tradition and reproduce the song every 5 or 10 years with the new generations of artists of the time as have been done now.
I think they are all great artists in this version, and they've great voices. And I have listened to their music from when I was growing up to now. And when they were first released and when I was growing up, I used to hang posters of them up in my bedroom wall. And I still have the cds I bought when they were first released.
Obviously the 1984 original is the absolute best, but I love that they keep updating it and adding current artists or artists that missed out the first time around- looking at you, Cliff Richard!
I think it's a travesty. It undermines the whole purpose. With the original it was done so organically and on a whim. As a by-product, everyone's profile went through the roof...but that was never the goal. With this one, I feel philanthropy took a backseat...
@@rampageclover9788Then you missed the point of it completely. The 1989 famine in Ethiopia was the travesty and the fact that five years after the original had raised so much money, parts of Africa were no better off than they had been. Geldof’s exasperation that lessons clearly hadn’t been learned, spurred him to revive Band Aid to raise more funds to feed those who were dying of malnourishment and starvation. 1989 had been the pinnacle of Stock Aitken Waterman’s career, their “sound” defining a whole generation. In 1989 alone they had written/produced 6 number 1 singles by 4 different artists, written and produced the year’s highest selling album, Jason Donovan’s “Ten Good Reasons” and single handily revived Donna Summer’s failing career- returning her into the UK and US Top 10 charts from which she had long been absent. It was clear who Geldoff would turn to in order to deliver this next incarnation of Band Aid. Stock Aitken Waterman. This was organised and recorded in the shortest amount of time than any of the other versions. There was less calculation in this production and those who participated did so with their very best intentions.
Yeah, although I've never really been much of a fan of pop music, I recall that I quite liked this version (as an Aussie, I was rapt that Kylie & Jason Donovan prominently featured in it) at the time...my God, I forgot until now just how damn pretty the twins (Matt & Luke) from the pop band BROS were!!
Great production, and an impressive list of pop stars. Had I never heard the original, I’d love this. Unfortunately, I have. The first Band-Aid will always be my favorite, no matter how good other versions are.
@@disneydanny2Weird? In what way? After the 1984 original, this 1989 remake is the next best version. 1988/89 was the year of PWL and SAW and Band Aid II was the sound of 1989 personified. The single was a massive success, becoming the UK’s 9th highest selling single of that year. The 2004 and 2014 versions don’t hold a torch to the originality of the 1984 and 1989 versions. Also, if we are to talk about “weird”, the gold star for that goes to 2004’s Band Aid 20, with Dizze Rascal’s cringey rap being shoehorned in.
I like the original 1984 version but I do believe this version is better. It’s truly underrated. There is more compassion in the voices and the Stock Aiken Waterman production is excellent. Well done one and all.
I was 11 when this song came out, I never knew when I was in my 40’s I’d have to donate to feed people in my own country. Love to everyone who has to choose between heating and eating . Please remember there is a part of our society that cares. ❤️❤️❤
Such a shame this version was overlooked in the new remixed version! this was a great contribution to the timeline of band aid and my turning of age song as i turned 18 when this was released! one of my favorite versions as i knew every artist on this song and probably bought an album or a single of every one of these artists!
I never saw this one! Everytime they revamp this christmas classic is wonderful! I love seeing all the different artists! It's so nice they take time out of their busy careers to stop and help people in need!
Ob Band Aid oder Band Aid 2 sind beide mit den Top Stars der 80ziger Und ich durfte diese Zeit mit erleben.danke Euch allen schöne Weihnachten und bleibt gesund
Agreed re: the incredible quality & number/expanse of the artists from Band Aid but for me, the Goss twins (BROS) & Jason Donovan & Kylie alone in Band Aid II made this far more pretty than the OG group...
This song reminds me when I was a kid and life was just a playground. Loving parents, brother, sister, family and friends. I had it all and still have it all. Even though I have lost lots of friends and family along the way, I love my life.
Even if I prefer and love the original and first version I love it because of Sir Cliff 😍❤️ and the message in the song is the same pray for the other ones the whole year not just at Christmas 🫶🙏 God bless
Very good, super version! I love it! Sonia Evans, Kilye Minogue, Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Big Fun, Wet Wet Wet, Clif Richard, Bros, Lisa Stansfield, Jimmy Somerville, and many more.❤
It's a beautiful song in every version. Thank for the music, the message, the love, and the intention behind it to help our brothers and sisters who are in need.
Agree of all of the remakes to this song, this is the best of the remakes. 2004 and the version from Daddy's home is great as well. The worst ones are the 2003 and the 2014 version should be erased.
¿Men at Work, Inxs, Bee Gees, Midnight Oíl, Ac Dc? de verdad crees que Kilye y Jason son los dos mejores cantantes australianos? Créo que no tienes mucha idea de música
@@domingocarbonperal5712The Bee Gees are British. I think the OP means that in terms of promoting Australia to the world Kylie and Jason were great ambassadors. Men At Work are not in any way comparable to Kylie’s influence on the global pop stage.
This version hardly gets shown on the music TV channels nower days in comparison to the time I started the tradition of mine of watching videos of Christmas songs on those back in 2006 (that time, they would the original, this second one and also Band Aid 20)
This is my favourite version, produced by Stock Aitken Waterman for PWL Productions, but the original one from 1984 is iconic. I love them both and they are the best versions compared to the versions released the following years

I love 1984 and 1989 versions because they've got all of the artists I listened to when I was growing up and still listen to them now.
Band aid 1984 & 1989 will always be the best for me
1984 the best
Bananarama is 1 & 2
Is this the 1989 version? I literally just found this one!
Me too.. I like the first one better... just bananarama was there.. just them in 1989...... & new people
This version has been on loop all day in my mind 😂😅 I was singing it to hubby this morning on Oxford Street 😂😂😂...... gotta love Lisa Stansfield ❤
Did he divorce you after? 😂
@Illustraful If I sounded like my Mum sounds when she sings then I think he definitely would've 🤔 🤭 but luckily I can hold a note or two! 😅
I love the Goss twin having a boogie
This version is so under rated!

Let's get it to a million views by Christmas.
Marti is brilliant and Cliff richard 2 it should be band aid the cliffmas version 😂ax
Greetings from Germany! This version is a memory from my teenage years. It was a wonderful time. I am now 53 years old
It wasn't a wonderful time for those your country was exploiting and stealing from to enable your sweet life.
I love Cliff!
Matt Goss is soooooo underrated!!!
Thank you for saying THAT!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🎄
weren't you around in 1988??
Looked a right bellend dancing like it's a disco track. Sarah dallin clearly thought so too
Another fabulous version 😍 listening 2024❤
and probably the strangest of all of them

He's a world above the rest.

@@rampageclover9788there is always a good cause behind every remake
Remember Ebola?
@@rampageclover9788 Geldof asked SAW to do it. Therefore, your assumption is wrong.
The best band aid version. Band aid 2!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Nice collaboration between both my favourite male and female pop stars, Cliff Richard and Kylie Minogue.
There is no need to compare. The first one is the original one, the most authentic. But this one deserves recognition too, it's a good PWL version.
I heard this version for the first time a few days ago and it's utter garbage. I only came here to show someone how bad it is
Only because of M Pellows vocals.
@@HRHooChicken well at least it's way better than the awaful re recorded 2004/2014 versions.
When it takes the name of the original you have to compare.
Very good cover
In 26 years I've never heard this version... weird! I like it :)
Yeah, although I've never really been much of a fan of pop music, I recall that I quite liked this version (as an Aussie, I was rapt that Kylie & Jason Donovan prominently featured in it) at the time...my God, I forgot until now just how damn pretty the twins (Matt & Luke) from the pop band BROS were!!
This version is so obscure
I preferred this era to the 1984 one
This is the most melodious version.
This is my favorite version, this is the one I've usually heard play on the radio
I don’t think I’ve ever heard this version before. I really like it! It has the same magic and energy as the original!
Lisa Stansfield, Jimmy sommerville, matt goss and marti pellow all have great voices! 👍🏻
And Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Marti Pellow
By far the best version so many awesome voices
First one was better. But is this good.
This music is number one!Merry Christmas everyone....
Matt Goss getting in the groove,my God he can really sing
My favourite version! Marti Pellow makes it it for me!!
I love that bananarama with jacky had more of a role in this one !!
Great production, and an impressive list of pop stars. Had I never heard the original, I’d love this. Unfortunately, I have. The first Band-Aid will always be my favorite, no matter how good other versions are.
They don't play this version enough on these Christmas channels. I love it.
probably because it's the weirdest of the 4 that have been released.

Calling yourself after the weirdest corporation out there and then saying Band Aid 2 is weird, is a lesson in irony if ever I saw one.
It's the underdog!
Love it that Sir Cliff sang on this one! Perfect for him! They all sounded great! Wish Freddie Mercury could have added his voice!
Surprised he wasn't on the original! Think the 'Here's to you' bit would have suited his style!
I love that cliff was singing in the band aid 2 video.
Freddie would've withdrawn by this point 😪
@Pollywog Hope you're ok, thinking of ya pollywog!
Cliff I heard turned down the opportunity to be in the original and deeply regretted it....
I like the original 1984 version but I do believe this version is better. It’s truly underrated. There is more compassion in the voices and the Stock Aiken Waterman production is excellent. Well done one and all.
I'm overjoyed to see Kylie here, this is the best Christmas gift ❤ I'm crazy about Bono, but Kylie Minogue is my favorite
Love this version and the original. But all have been at different times and deserve credit as it was all for a good cause for our future.
Love both 80's versions of this song
Don't we all?
best band aid version they dont play on radio
I was 11 when this song came out, I never knew when I was in my 40’s I’d have to donate to feed people in my own country. Love to everyone who has to choose between heating and eating . Please remember there is a part of our society that cares. ❤️❤️❤
Wie wahr! Die Welt ist im Wandel.... Aber in keinem guten Wandel😟
It's ironic isn't it that in 10 years an African country could be be making a song like this about us.
🙏💖

Great version. Stock, Aitken and Waterman and all the artists at their peak.
Merry Christmas 2024 from Uruguay!!!
This is absolutely the best version, what a beat, it blows my mind! And Kylie Minogue's voice, 😲 wow! Goosebumps!
And paired up with Jason Donovan?
Perfection!

I remember this version being released, and being so excited bc BROS was in it. It does do the original justice though. Good job.
This is the best version ..
Matt goss vocal range. Amazing.
Every version is great. We get to see as well who is the popular artist back then too 😊
This version's really got a good 'Pop' to it esp. due to the upbeat drums! Grace Chatto from Clean Bandit looks so pretty with her cello!
Im here for Bros, the ham they put in is pure genius
Matt was hands down the best singer in this, then I think Marti Pellow (sorry don’t know the correct spelling)

Disagree completely. Sings it out all of tune.

It's the most musical version.

Nothing changes,the world is still the same
A bemused bananarama standing next to Matt Goss clearly getting his groove on 🤣
Sir Cliff Richard is clearly the boss and leads the way in this fabulous version ❤
He should not be there!!
Can't beat the 1984 original but love the fact this has carried on, hope there's a band aid 40 coming.
This is the best version by far, I love it! Shame it's forgotten by so many.
194 version?
Still a great song .Never be the original but there's some stars here from the past era .
this is hands down the best version never played hardly
because it's shit
Not best at all.
I have never heard this version, and I must say I am very impressed!
This is the most melodic version of all of them in my opinion.
Brilliant ❤ Marti pellow ❤️ and Lisa Stanfield ❤
This version is bomb🎉❤
The Band Aid II recording is the best version.
No it's not 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The original is by far the best version
My favourite version,great band,unique years.Thanks,grazie
I remember this version from my teenhood and especially Bros Matt drumming.
It was Luke Goss drumming not Matt. And noooooooo!!!! He is not a patch on Phil Collins's drumming on the original '84 version.
Luke😉
It's obviously a drum machine. It's a farce for them to have Goss supposedly playing live drums. Who were they kidding?!
Very good, super version!
I love it!

UK Christmas number one in 1989. Remember it well, I was 10 years old.
At this point there are two more, each one has its own unique take on the original.

Still can't beat the original.
