I can understand the concept & what they were trying to achieve. For it's time it was brilliant. But why do they continue to try and revive it with silly English pop stars?<br><br>EDIT<br><br>Was rather rash back then, absolutely adore this around xmas time now.<br><br>2 ------> 5<br><br>P = 59

by far the best of the three, one of the best christmas songs since 1980

natuurlijk is het nummer erg uitgekouwd door Sky Radio! Maar de filosofie erachter blijft SUBLIEM!

Average Christmas song

I suppose it's just the one Christmas regular I can't abide by. Not that the rest does it any favours, but that one Bono line really kills it for me.

It gets annoying, but it's okay for a charity single.

The original and the best. Still inspiring. 5.3*

For a good cause which is good, but the song itself just does little for me at all. Probably the best thing about this record existing is the awareness it created and of course the money raised. I know I'll be told I'm a heartless asshole for not liking something that's both a charity single AND a Christmas single but Christmas music does little for me anyway and I maintain that you should not feel the need to buy a charity record just because it's a charity record if you don't like it. There are many avenues to donate to worthy causes outside of buying a charity record. Talking about the actual music though, my initial reaction to this was one of "ugh, no I don't like it" but repeated listens and it doesn't seem so bad. There's some parts to it which are somewhat redeeming. Not something I enjoy but it's not awful either at least.

Lekker en prettig en goed mooi

BITTE NIE WIEDER!!!!

Gedenkwaardig nummer. Naast een prima Kerstplaat is natuurlijk het verhaal om zoveel mogelijk geld op te halen voor de hongersnood in Ethiopie en zoveel mogelijk Engelse top artiesten daarvoor samen te brengen natuurlijk prachtig. En het boek met UK Chart records werd door deze single rigoreus gewijzigd.
