Yesterday, the UK got the first listen to the 20 year on remake of “Do they know its Christmas”, the song that sparked of USA for Africa and Live Aid.

General British press slates it, saying it’s not a patch on the original. Personally, I think its a worthy remake, which includes the British artists that mean a lot to the young crowd today….and therefore, the sales…..

Coldplay
Dido
Robbie Williams
Justin Hawkins (The Darkness)
Fran (travis)
Sugababes
Will Young
Miss Dynamite
Daniel Bedingfield
Paul McCartney
Joss Stone
Bono (ok, Irish)

Etc Etc

My Question is, will this spark another version Of USA for Africa, and who do you think will be on it?

Over here in the UK, there has been much debate over who should get the Bono line “Well tonight it thank god its them, instead of you”.

Equally, whogets Cyndi Laupers great line a remake of We Are The World????

Christina?
Beyonce?
R Kelly
Britney?
Usher?
Eminem?
Jessica Simpson?
Avril?
Hooberstank?
Alicia Keys?

Who do you think SHOULD be on a remake?
Who do you think WILL be on a remake regardless?
Who will be the Prince “no show” artist for a new version?
Will Michael be the only “returner” like Bono was to the UK song?
Will it turn from a pop classic to and RnB groove?

What do you think?.....It WILL happen. Just watch out for Lionel Richie (and MJ, just as the court stuff starts happening).
