I'm gonna give Sir Bob the benefit of the doubt and say that I do believe his heart is in the right place. However, I would warm to him more if the vast majority of his music wasn't complete and utter dog shit.

Olly c*nt Murs is the worst inclusion IMO - totally pointless person . One Direction - are they old enough to be allowed out to do this stuff all by themselves ? Bet they got detention for bunking off school .

I am fed up with Africa being portrayed as a disease ridden backwater all the time it is quite a rich continent in some places. Why can't the countries there help each other out properly. With all the charity it gets nothing seems to be getting any better. Ebola is a slightly different case I suppose but it shouldn't be up to pop stars to tell the world what to do and tell us how to spend and donate our money. Most people buying the record probably won't give two hoots or know what it is for anyway as it has the latest pop fad playing on it. I admire but Sir Bob does for charity and don't man to put him down as his heart is the right place. As a record the band aid record isn't very good even Bob and Midge have said that so why not come up with a new song for the modern age as the lyrics to the original do not reflect the 21st century really.

Africa has many rich countries and resources,the trouble is that it is in the hands of the few,a bit like Britain these day's.

I am hardly an expert but have been to Kenya,Tanzania and Ethiopia.It has extremes of rich and poor,but has an amazing vibe.

Yawn, same old crap, bored now Bob, find another 'worthwhile' cause please. Something a little closer to home. Drug addiction perhaps?
I've got some chloroform and handcuffs, just for you.
