who can agree that the older christmas songs are muchh better than the modern ones

George Michael was such a talent, I am very sad that he is no longer here.

This is The Best Version of this Song EVER. Nothing Will beat the Original.

Boy George, George Michael and Bono killed it on this song, such memorable and unique voices

George Michael said nobody knew it was going to be filmed so everyone just rolled out of bed and came to record this. He said his hair looked like Woody Woodpecker 😂

The “Thank God it’s them instead of you.“ always gets me...

Paul Young does not get enough credit for how great he starts this song out. Sets the mood perfect.

George Michael died on Christmas Day. In the memory of him, we miss you RIP.

Nobody is mentioning that these high profile celebs did this song for charity in Africa and raised MILLIONS. Well done God bless you all and for some that are no longer with us anymore may you rest in God’s Paradise. 👏👏👏

There's so many versions of this song. But nothing beats the original.

Can’t believe 2021 is almost over and people are still listening to this song. Proves how good it is

I was 15 years old when this song was released. It will forever be in my 80s heart. And you know what? Boy George can sing!

Rest in Peace George Michael David Bowie Rick Parfit Paula Yates

I don’t care that I’m listening in June no one can top this Christmas song. Damn I can’t wait for Christmas it needs to make up for this shitty year.

Its sad how after forty years, this message is still be needed heard all over the world. Merry Christmas to all the people with internet access!

This song even to this day makes the hairs stand up on my neck. So many huge 80’s stars back then singing their hearts out for charity

Boy George’s voice was fantastic.

November 2019 waiting for Christmas anyone? 🎄🎅

Nothing beats this version. This is the best and always will be one of the best and epic christmas song ever in history! Never gets old even it's 2021 now! ❤️❤️❤️

Quite possibly the greatest musical collaboration of all time, can't imagine anything close to this being replicated nowadays.

I'll play this in august I dont even care

This song will never get old. 80s had the best music. Phil Collins is killin' it on the drums.

I think raising millions for charity to help the people of Africa was a very noble and kind thing to do. I support and stand with the people of Africa.

The Brits sure knew how to put together an awesome Christmas song.

*Boy George..Marilyn..George Michael..Simon LeBon.. Ahhh..when stars were really stars..and music was really exciting. God I miss those days!*

Anyone realised that even if a new Christmas song is released they still don't beat the classics. Like if agree.

I'm getting old. In a few years we'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary! Merry Christmas everybody. Let's all live out the goodness displayed in this song and treat everybody with kindness and love.

This song still gives me chills, even 40 years later.

It’s a tradition to listen to this every year who’s with me 😊

Who’s ready for Christmas 2020? Lets wrap up this horrible year with a smile on our faces!

A true 80's banger. George Michael, Paul Young, Boy George, Sting etc and Phil Collins on the drums!!! What a tune, by far the best Christmas song.

This song will go on Forever and Ever, big salute and hugs to all the legendary singers that make this song happened 40years ago🙌🏻

"But say a prayer.. Pray for the other ones" love George Michael. Rest in peace

It's that time of the year again, regardless this song is played all year round it's that great! Happy holidays to everyone!

My wife (and soulmate) were married in 1984. This song was the second best thing that happened that year. Instant Christmas Spirit.

When Bono sang well tonight thank God it's them instead of you. That is a powerful line and he nailed it.

Halloween is over time to blast the living hell out of Christmas music

December 1, 2019. Always here. Still here. Let Christmas begin.

My god the talent in this room is staggering….FEED THE WORLD 2021!!

One of the few songs that puts me in the Christmas mood.

Lyrics (Hope you enjoy) [Paul Young] It's Christmas time There's no need to be afraid At Christmas time We let in light and we banish shade [Boy George] And in our world of plenty We can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmas time [George Michael] But say a prayer Pray for the other ones At Christmas time it's hard [Simon LeBon (Duran Duran)] But when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear [Sting] Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears [Bono & Sting] And the Christmas bells that ring there Are the clanging chimes of doom [Bono] Well tonight thank God it's them Instead of you [Boy George & Others] And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is life(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows No rain or rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Here's to you [Paul Young] Raise a glass for everyone [Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Here's to them [Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory] Underneath that burning sun Do they know it's Christmas time at all? [Chorus: All] Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time again

George Michael particularly looked so genuinely happy throughout the entire video. I miss him.

No matter how many times I hear this from the first day to today this always gives me goosebumps

In 1984 i was 12 yo and now i m 49 !!! Its so emotional to listen this song with the same passion. It's so beautiful to seeing all those singers (legends) again and again...i grew with their music . I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of them ....still listening withi my flow tears..

George Michael released "Last Christmas" around about the same time, proceeds went to Bob Geldof's relief fund. George was a lovely, generous man and fine artist, Greatly missed.

Who’s here in December 2020

Here it is 2021, I'm 54, was 19 when this came out and this song STILL ROCKS! But HOLY CRAP look how young and hot we looked back then! LOL I still do in my head😀! One of the few songs that is truly timeless.

I miss the old days when I was a kid and had no worries at all. Christmas with grandparents, but are now getting very old. Miss those times! I wish you guys all the best!

Almost 40 years ago, the lyrics are still relevant in "quarantine 2020".

You'll never see that much talent singing together all at once ever again. This one is a classic that I can't wait to hear each year.

This song still gives me chills. The line "Thank God it's them instead of you" really gets my attention.

This song always reminds how grateful I am that my two daughters are still safe

i don’t even care that it’s june i’m sad and need cheering up

I was a kid when this came out...it was EVERYWHERE. Still is.

I'm a 80's kid; born in the 60's. This brilliant little song tried to make the whole a better place and launched a movement. Even now when I hear it again it never fails to move me. God bless Sir Bob Geldof. As I recall he recounted that one of the first people onboard was the late George Michael who had just become a big star. Geldof said once everyone knew George was involved they all joined in. RIP George. And God Bless Us Everyone. Try to make this world a better place

Boy George’s voice and Phil Collins drum intro for me made the song. My sister bought this album when it came out we literally wore it out. I was a metal head but I could not deny the plight.

Not even March and I'm already doing Christmas songs. Celebrate with me brothers and sisters.

Can't believe it is 4 years tomorrow we lost George Michael - RIP - Merry Christmas

An all time classic with some of the best singers of the 80’s

2021 and Christmas is coming soon, this music never dies it will last forever ! Please take me back to the 80s!

BEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER THIS ONE NEVER GET OLD.

It's 2021,I'm 58 and I still cry because of this song,it's that beautiful.

So this song was recorded and released in 1984 as a reaction to the famine in Ethiopia. In 1985, We are the World was also recorded by American singers also as a response to the famine in Africa. I'm so glad to have lived in different generations and witnessed real music artist working together and lending their talents to worthy cause.

I was only 17 when this song came out. The bell at the beginning still gives me chills 37 years later. Merry Christmas 2021! (12/25/21)

This song is one of the best Christmas songs ever

Who is still listening to this just cause it’s winter 2021

Paul Young's opening line is still legendary 37 years later... I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and ONE MORE TRY in tribute to 2 of George's greatest songs. Eventually our man will get his due for all his contributions to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.

Such a beautiful historic song, it opened the door to Live Aid.

Out of each singer that had a solo part, George Michael has the strongest and most beautiful voice out of all of them.

“It’s a world outside your window, a world of dreaded fear” accurate more than ever during these turbulent times of 2020.

Its no christmas without this song. I was almost 14 when they did this and I have play it since then ❤

My childhood song. I remember when this song was released how blown away I was. One of the best songs ever recorded!

"Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow" *stares at Nile*

Nothing beats the original version.

Sometimes you need angels to make a powerful song powerful!!! I've been searching for this song for almost 30 years, thanks to my family. I almost shed tears but getting there surely - no ways - can't afford not to shed tears🤞😭!!! It's Christmas eve in South Africa. Happy Christmas to everyone listening, singing, loving and crying to this song!!! 🎶👌🏾❤️🎄🍾🎈🎊🎉

This is one of my all-time favourite songs any time of the year. What a wonderful contribution and cause this was. Are there any musicians doing this today? It seems to all have come out of the 80's. You forget what a beautiful voice Boy George had. They ALL have unique and distinctive voices. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear this and you just have to sing along

Freddie Mercury should have been in this!

The eighties were just the best time to be young. You can never explain to young people just how brilliant it was to be 20 when this came out. Such a feeling of hope for the world .

I dont care what anyone says, this will always be my favourite Christmas song

Europe really nailed this one! Still hits really close to home. I say do it again, even if some are no longer with us. Thank you!

I love how Boy George is just sprinkled all over this song😂

Each singer had a specific voice. What a beautiful song for Christmas.

This Christmas song is still one of the epic classics still in 2022. It never gets old. A very meaningful Christmas song with meaningful lyrics 💕 🎄✨️

This is the best Christmas song and nothing will ever change my mind.

Boy George has amazing musical talent. That voice is crisp.

All of the British bands and solo musicans for band aid in the eighties never gets old long live the eighties.

Still love it. 40 years, even 100 years later. LONG LIVE THE MUSIC.

This song just kicked ass!! Thats all there is to say about it. No other version can compare with the passion and power of everyone involved. And Boy George just nailed it!!!!

Anyone listening to this on October 2019. Lol just can’t wait to Christmas to hear this. Ahhh this song is so nostalgic. I remember the great Christmas’s with the family. All gathered round the table. Miss those days. Never gonna get them back

Greetings from Germany to the world ... it's Christmas! A song that will still have its place in the heart in 50 years.

Was 24 years young when this song hit the airwaves, just as powerful know as it was then, maybe more so. The world needs more music like this today; with all the divisiveness music can always unite us. :D

I was 13 years old when this song came out. I brought the CD to help raise money for the famine crisis in Africa. I love this song forever will be close to my heart 😊🎄🎅💖✨.

December 2020, who's listening? ❤❤❤

No matter how mamy versions of this song will appear they will never beat the original one! 🎅

*17.12.2021 .... They want to remove from KZfaq this Christmas masterpiece ... a symbol of helping the most needy, which is the meaning of Christmas ... a song that united people in the 80's for Christmas to help feed small children in Africa* GREETINGS FROM CROATIA!!! ✝️🇭🇷✝️

Wow I always thought they all looked so cool. The 80s rocked!💯🤩❤️🇨🇦🤍

I tear up every time with this song! “Feed the world, let them know it’s Christmas time!”

George micheal has so much talent and a burning passion it’s so sad he’s no longer here:((

I watch this every year! I remember when this was released. Love it!

LOVE this song!! Have to play it every December!
