[nantyboy]

Who sang the line "Tonight thank god its them instead of you" on the Band Aid 2 number one? Was it Bono?
Thanks.

[Metz]

Yes :o)

[B00]

Do you mean the Stock Aitkin and Waterman one that featured Sonya, Kylie and Jason Donovan?

[nantyboy]

Boo, yes that's the one - forgot they were involved though.

[B00]

The reason why I asked was because i knoew it was Bono on the 1st and 3rd...but not the 2nd....all i've found so far is a list of who did sing (?) on the 2nd....doesnt say who sang thatl ine though. here's the list.....

Bananarama
Big Fun
Bros
Cathy Dennis
D Mob
The Big Dougster
Jason Donovan
Kevin Godley
Glen Goldsmith
Kylie Minogue
The Pasadenas
Chris Rea
Cliff Richard
Jimmy Somerville
Sonia
Lisa Stansfield
Technotronic
Wet Wet Wet

Will scout round some more :-)

[Metz]

Looking and (sadly) listening to it, I think it's Jason and Matt Goss singing that immortal line.

[Metz]

Jason donovan and matt goss?

[nantyboy]

Boo/metz, regrettably you are correct it is Jason and Matt. Will have to modify my question to omit the 2nd version - you may have saved me some grief!!!
Many thanks for your help, it is much appreciated. Merry Xmas.

I think Bono's always sang that line...irony being that he hates it. Gotta agree with him, why would you thank God it's anybody starving to death?

[Ctrak]

Ah ****. Well I make a valid point, anyway.

[callum430]

band aid, the 20th anniveersary, the line is sung by bono, a little bit of eivia, bono was not at the studio at the day with all the arists, he had a family arrangement but did arrive late at night, and decided not to scream the line beacause he tought it was not appropriate

[THAIBUS]

Think it was Cliff Richard
