i wish people would stop trying to compare it directly to Run DMC/Aerosmith.

 

Are you serious...?? How can you NOT compare it to Aerosmith/Run DMC.....? You think that just because something is for 'charidee' then that is an excuse for churning out sub-standard material....? I dont think so, and Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and a whole lot of genuinely great Pop Stars certainly didn't think so in the mid-80s either.....

for a start would you class Aerosmith and Rum DMC as pop :lol:

No... and I CERTAINLY wouldn't class Avril Lavigne as a 'Punk Princess' either :rolleyes: :blink: :D

I know it might sound repetitive but... can someone send it to me?? Thanks in advance ^_^

I think everybody is forgetting what Comic Relief singles are about.

 

They are meant to be fun and never really are meant to be good. They are novelty records.

McFly, Gareth Gates, Tony Christie, Westlife and Boyzone singles were awful!

Let's go back to 10 years ago - The last time a Girl group did the Comic Relief single.

 

Funny thing was I thought it was a really good pop record.

 

 

Considering that both Girls Aloud & Sugababes have done more than their fair share of great pop singles while producer Dallas Austin production credits includes:

 

"Push the Button" (Sugababes)

"Ugly" (Sugababes)

"Trick Me" (Kelis)

"In Demand" (Texas)

"Stuck" (Stacie Orrico)

"Cool" (Gwen Stefani)

"Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops) (Blu Cantrell)

"Don't Let Me Get Me" (P!nk)

"Just like a Pill" (P!nk)

"Left Outside Alone" (Anastacia)

"Sick and Tired" (Anastacia)

"Sunrise" (Duran Duran)

"Creep" (TLC)

"Unpretty" (TLC)

"Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" (TLC)

"Just a Little While" (Janet Jackson)

"Motownphilly" (Boyz II Men)

"The Boy Is Mine" (Brandy and Monica)

 

Then my ears find it incredible the rubbish they are hearing!!!

 

Having read threads on both PopJustice & DigitalSpy their consensus is that this new Comic Relief single is shockingly poor. While on BBC6 Music they are debating whether the new Comic Relief single is worse than Madonna's American Pie (which was recently voted the worst cover version of all-time!)

but the Spice Girls single was already on their album and wasn't actually recorded for Comic Relief was it. It was just adapted to it.

 

I still think people are over-reacting. Uptown Girl, All About U, Amarillo, When The Going Gets Tough are all novelty songs and so is Walk This Way.

 

If Dallas Austin was to work with both bands again on their own project they WOULD have a brilliant song, no doubt.

 

And in my opinion the original was c**p anyway

It's got 1% of the greatness of Something kinda oooh.

 

But I love it.

 

 

I like Sugababes and I like GA, but I hate this. The reason is, is that with covers of such high profile songs like this, you can never make it your own. No matter how much you chane the instrumentation and the lyrics, this'll always be RunDMC and Aerosmith.

its good but i have to say it isnt a patch on the brilliant something kinda oooh

:( Awful! I expected something much much better from these two! Both amazing pop girlbands with great pop tunes and when they collaborate they deliver this??? Having said that, it might grow on me, but not good at all for me at the moment :cry:

:cheer:

 

Maybe the video will help you

 

 

I love the video, it's fun and they all look gawgeous :wub:

 

Nicola is at the top :wub: :lol: And Kimberley at the beginning is wooow :wub:

Talk about ripping off the video and doing a bad job of it :lol:

They look good though -_- ^_^

I've heard this song and I don't like it. It sounds over-produced.

for a start would you class Aerosmith and Rum DMC as pop :lol:

 

As far as I recall neither Run DMC nor Aerosmith were in the "Band Aid" video, so I dont really see the point you're trying to make....

 

 

They are meant to be fun and never really are meant to be good.

 

But why cant they be good...? That't the question... Are Pop Stars just utterly incapable of actually producing a decent record for Charity, you know, one that you would actually listen to after the fact and not be mortified or embarrassed by ownership....?

 

In fact, why do we even need a record anyway....? Do people really need some kind of inducement to be charitable...? What's wrong with just giving the four quid you'd spend on the CD direct to Comic Relief...? For some of us, Charity is NOT just a one-night stand, if you get my drift....

I CANNOT believe some of you are saying Girls Aloud WHIP Sugababes arses because it's clearly the other way round. This song shows EXACTLY that.

 

Definitely agree with the Sugababes vs. All Saints comment :D How AMAZING would that be (although it's not looking too good for Saints at the moment :( )

 

However my opinion on the song.. i FOOKING LOVE it. Amelle has the best part and Keisha's adlibs are AMAZE. Nadine has a good voice but compared to Keisha.. she sounds $h!te imo. The video is definitely GA's best and up there with Sugababes video's.

 

#1 fo' sho.

i like both bands but i think girls aloud are better

Unbelievably the best sounding Sugababe on the track is Amelle...

 

I think they should have gone with an original song rather than a cover.

As far as I recall neither Run DMC nor Aerosmith were in the "Band Aid" video, so I dont really see the point you're trying to make....

 

neither were GA :lol:

 

tbh, I can't see why people love the original so much :blink: I find it pretty bland
