At least they've tried to make it different ... but the first one was so significant that makes it damn hard to follow! Not sure about the Dizzy Rascal bit - I like his normal stuff - but his lines don't seem to fit! And The Darkness on guitars ... euewwww!
I'll still buy it though!

Not as good as the original..... the new one doesnt seem to fit that well together, musically it sounds thin... Bono's bit isnt as powerful as the first one.
But at least there's people out there having a go for a good cause..
so yeh, i'll buy it

I was cringing this morning listening to it. For the first time in my life I would have preferred to listen to fat **** Moyles shouting his head off rather than listening to that garbage.

I have not heard it (the new one)
but
even though its for a good cause and all I cannot sanction having a CD in my house that not only features will young, but also busted, blobbie williams and not one but TWO bedINGfields !
its not gonna happen
I would rather give the money direct to charity (which is what all the millionaire 'pap' stars would do if they really cared)
IMHO of course - and I am probably in a minority

don't know why they couldn't write a new song rather than murder the original 
onder2:
still it's for a good cause so I'll probably buy it and make the kids pretend it's theirs.

I wasn't addressing 14 year old kids - i was addressing people here who said they would buy the record even though it is of dubious artistic merit, simply because it's "for a good cause".

I thought it was OK, nothing great but bit of a half ar$ed attempt if u ask me, if they wanted to do it like it was originally done they should have all got together and sung it together and maybe sung a different song, something some effort had gone into. I honestly started laughing when Dizzee rascal started rapping..lmao

Loved this one:
"We could always make a donation to our local radio stations for them NOT to play it!"

thing about the original was it was a group of artists came together to sing a soung that sounded like a song, this 1 sounds like a song butchered by around 5 different styles of music so all the artists can stamp there own patch on it IMO really cr@p

Dizzee Rascal. FFS the bloke's a complete and utter gobsh!te. Rap? With a silent 'C' for sure.
His new single's a feckin joke while we're at it and this bloke won an award last year!
Sounds like my dad, pissed, trying to rap. Completely ruined any chance they had for the single to grow on people because that rapping is so sh!te!
