    IMO anyone who moans about something someone does for charity should do something bigger before they can complain in any way

    Band Aid was great way back when and is great again, a different song would'nt have been right

    I never said that I was moaning about the actual song - Do They Know It's Christmas was a great song and the re-release will hopefully sell a lot of copies.

    I just questioned why some of them were there when they hadn't a bloody clue about the cause in the first place.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    wot Cheese said

    Yeah it's for a good cause and all, but it doesn't change the fact that it's shit. They've got all the latest gimics from top of the pops like ..........*insert popular names here*.......... would have been better with actual singers maybe, and without that stupid rap bit in it from whoever that geptard is?

    Am I right in thinking a couple of you are suggesting some of the stars done it for the publicity and not the cause?........Yes thats true, but who cares, they still done it, bottom line is these people gave up their time freely to help a charity.
    How many here have done that?

    And yes before you ask, I have done charity work

    Was quite miffed when I asked for my wages and they would'nt give me any

    Jonno

    Edit: ARGH!!! I'm in music world

    Are you suggesting we can only criticise the motives of some of these stars if we have done charity work ourselves?

    Well I've done charity work for a couple of years now so I guess I have a free-licence to bitch about these 15-minuters jumping on the bandwagon to whore themselves out a little longer. Not that I will though.

    No they didn't! they did it for publicity, half of them couldn't find Africa on a map if it was labeled and showed to them

    Other than the one or two obvious ones, the rest are there for show and if the aim is to get there huge 14 and 15 year old fan bases into charity work then that's fine

    (Btw: have sigs always showed up on previews? )
