Although the original will always be the best, all versions have a certain power about them. Each one is iconic and special in it's own way and hopefully each helps with the message.
.... here we are , repeating history , so many years have passed , may the next generations accomplish more for ALL people's rights for food , fresh water , clean air & soil ... Earth and her children need each other ... with dignity and love .... 🗺 edit : ☮️
I must admit that while this version didn't have the umpth and the soul that the original 1984 version had, I still like it anyway because the Pop generation had changed constantly.
And still today in year 2024, the poverty and hunger around the world is still a problem ether their in Africa, Asia, America or even Europe. Poverty and Hunger is still a problem that most government in rest of the world don't wanna fix
The original version is best, but every version is important and has its own style and character. I love it. All Versions. Most important is the message and the help started with all these artists and Bobs and Midges epic idea. We want a 2034 Version, 2044, 2054....
Even after 40 years, Africa still has the highest extreme poverty rates globally. This Christmas (2024), war between Ukraine and Russia will probably still be going on. There are still a lot more wars going on, that will probably go into Christmas time. It is still sad to see this going on during Christmas to this day. So, Let them know it's Christmas time!
40 years have passed... Many things have happened, not only AIDS but also Ebola hemorrhagic fever, never-ending wars, etc., but I want to make the world a better place for everyone, even if just a little bit!

i was around in the 1980's for We Are The World and Do They Know It's Christmas? here is a crazy thought. instead of redoing the song every 10 years, why not every generation in that group make a new song to add to the collection. giving seems to be harder every year as those in higher income brackets keep getting the raise while the people at the bottom keep getting told, there is nothing left for you, maybe next year. and then more people are added to the list needing the basic necessities of life. i want to thank the people in this world that still want to make a difference for others, that want to add a little light instead of take it away.
I think it's kinda cool that there is a new version with musicians of today, yeah the original was awesome and cannot be equalled but the message is good.
The 1984 version sends shivers down my spine. This one on the other hand...Where the 1984 version is like a mighty Douglas fir, this version is more akin to a plastic Christmas tree from Poundland.
I remember the 1984 version like it was only yesterday & 40 years later while there have been many different versions all have sincerely touched my heart. It’s the lyrics and the true meaning that resonates no matter what the year ! I hope this will be played for generations to come and I sincerely hope one day this world will be free of child poverty… Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
Yes, same here, I was a teenager 40 years ago and this song and Live Aid, bring back so many treasured memories. I loved it then and I still love it now!!
You know a lot of things have changed over the years, Incredible to think that Obesity is now killing triple the number of people who die from malnutrition
Sounds great, just need some help getting it on TV where more people see it and some older musicians in there. These are all youngsters that people may not know what band they play in. ❤
Geez, could there be more haters in the comments?? Seriously?? NOTHING will replace the original, either enjoy it or move on. It's that simple. NO need for the hate!!!
real pity that so little seems to have changed. be interesting to see your newest re-boot, though for an old git like me, nothing will eclipse the original.
the opposite of geopolitics, political arrogance, corruption, political problems that exist there and come from, exists and resists, helping those who need it most
Talent-wise...this was such a huge step down from the original. Kudos to Bono for re-recording his same section. I had forgotten all about this 2004 version...simply did not stand the test of time.
God bless Bob Geldof. I know the woke people won't like this but who cares! This man and his fellow artists did a wonderful thing back in the day to bring awareness of starvation on the African continent. Maybe the words weren't right (according to the woke brigade) but they were right at the time. Maybe the woke brigade should take a look at the images we all saw back then. I don't think they could handle it, but Bob and his fellow artists surely did!! God bless them all for their contribution to this awful and CONTINUING famine in the continent of Africa. 🙏❤
Questa versione senza anima ed empatia dimostra come sono cambiati anche i rapporti umani. Il vero vecchio video erano tutti uniti, un grande gruppo di amici che suonavano e cantavano insieme con convinzione e forza. George Michael, Boy George, Cindy Lauper e tutti gli altri erano UNICI!!! Scusate ma bocciata anche la parte rap. Ci sara qualcuno che si rivolta nella bara. MITICI ANNI 80!!!
It’s great to have the actual vinyl. I have the single and the 12”. but you can hear the whole thing with the remix, Paul McCartney’s funny bit, the voice calls and chilling words of David Bowie on Spotify I believe. The whole thing was EPIC!!
Having rich people doesn’t cause poverty. The reasons for hunger and poverty are even more complex, like poor policies, corruption, or lack of opportunities. Frustrated communist detected.
so people lets do it and not talk about it , there is enough to go round, but the money has to be kept in goood hands and not left to the thieves who rob the poor and needy manna from heaven will fall on the pure of heart.
if we imagine that each live-aid show represents a small brick in this great construction of humanity of solidarity that artists propose to make this gesture of humanitarian aid
It lacks the punch of many more voices which the 1984 version had (this version approaches that in the end). Certainly a modern version, but I prefer the feel and vibe of the original! A timeless classic!
The current date 📅 📆 is Saturday 23rd of November 2024. It’s called Band Aid 20 - Do They Know It’s Christmas 🎄 🎅 🧑🎄 🤶. In Africa, it’s very sad 😞 😔 😢 that there is lack of food 🍲 🥘 🍱 there. Band Aid was launched on Sunday 25th of November 1984 is now 40 previous years ago. I think 🤔 💭 perhaps 🤔 is because Africa has lack of rain 🌧️ ☔️ there which it’s upsetting. Congratulations 🙌🥂 🥳 Band Aid on Monday 25th of November 2024 is to be aged 40 years old it will be 50 years old on Saturday 25th of November 2034. WOW 🤩 😮 😯 , time 🕰️ flies very quickly. 👍 😍 😄 😀
Yeah, well - this version wasn't even on TH-cam at all for a while. Sometimes versions that did go up were even left invisible and then inexplicably were visible again. There's never been any of that trouble with the 1989 version, with or without a remastering.
The money raised was wasted, they've had 40 years since to build desalination plants and irrigate the lands but they haven't. I remember seeing food aid trucks on fire after being looted of the contents, the money raised didn't change much at all except for a corrupt few. It's a harsh reality that nothing has changed in 40 years.
Wow...the wife and I think that the original is far better as this sounds just like it was thrown together at the last moment, and the singers sound subdued or depressed. I would like to contribute to the counselling of the singers as they sound like they need it
I like this! We needed a "younger approach to this sound! Now matter how many times they revamp this classic, it's always beautiful! I enjoy seeing the newer artists!

They don't even got together in one studio
it was shit
Thank you, Sir Bob Geldof !
And still today in year 2024, the poverty and hunger around the world is still a problem ether their in Africa, Asia, America or even Europe.

@davidesemi I hope,she's donated
Was 14 when the original came out. Was iconic. But at least in 2024 the spirit of giving is still alive
The original was pure class this one no words
20 years was the best song of the Christmas Spirit
Let's hear it for the new generation of young people trying to do their part❤❤❤. Love and peace.
Yes love and peace
Even after 40 years, Africa still has the highest extreme poverty rates globally. This Christmas (2024), war between Ukraine and Russia will probably still be going on. There are still a lot more wars going on, that will probably go into Christmas time. It is still sad to see this going on during Christmas to this day. So, Let them know it's Christmas time!

Беды народа никогда не волновали буржуев!
Бесполезно их призывать

Let’s see the corporations and billionaires paying their taxes and donating their wealth rather than depending upon the public.
1984 version better by a mile away
That's true
The fact that there has to be multiple versions is a bigger issue than which one is the better ‘banger’
Maybe better by a few hundred miles away. Nice effort by the artists here, but the original 1984 version was phenomenal in every way
You completely missed the point of doing it again and again...........
💯
The 1984 & 1989 version is the best
I m Sorry but the original from 1984 Is One of the best Classic
40 years have passed... Many things have happened, not only AIDS but also Ebola hemorrhagic fever, never-ending wars, etc., but I want to make the world a better place for everyone, even if just a little bit!
Where is the power behind this song?
gone

Never say anything negative about wonderful music

This version was horrible compared to the original. These guys can't even sing
Few of the original performers since passed away.
4k and official, but MONO!
Exactly my thought. Wasn't this mixed in stereo with so many artists on there? Is this a mono reduction of a stereo mix? So many questions.
The Hawkins brothers! Fuck yeah!

Great video.

By the way each one of the songs shows the amazing talent of the singers of the time.
In this version there are two or three well-known singers, I prefer the original.
Yes !!!...
I agree,
I don't like this versión,
The original is much better..
Only Bono, n' Paul Mac Artey, Are Masters !!!
I am sorry but 1984 version is much better than this one. It gives me no emotions and the rapper section is awful imo

I prefer the 84 version. There is something lacking in this version.
Compared to the 1984 version, there is no magic, there is no expressiveness, the singers do not feel the part they sing.
So they remade it at 20 years, 30 years and now 40 years. I guess we'll see you in 2034 for Band Aid 50!
Yeah... instead of them actually helping those poor people...
Gues. Then I’ll be watching from heck knows where.
