Who turned down BandAid?
I love the song and think the line-up is good. Been in the news Adele didn't answer the calls, which made me wonder - who else was in mind, who did not end up featuring for whatever reason?
I also heard that Foals and Florence and the Machine had been asked and were grateful for the opportunity, however could not commit as Foals are working on a new album and Florence is out in USA working on her new album and could not get back to the UK when needed.

I don't think 'disgust' is the right word, but he makes some great points about the lyrics.
I think he was touring at the time and couldn't do it. I seem to remember the B side was an instrumental version with spoken messages by the various artists and Paul McCartney did contribute to this.
Phil Oakey and Sade did snub Band Aid though and Bob Geldof was quick to let the media know about it.
Im dont blame her as you pay 99p for a song or £4 for a cd but not all the money goes to charity i like many others i know gave just paid money to the charity it self
Let's face it, she gets more publicity that way.
OK, gonna put my hand up here and say I Googled Fiesta Clutch Judder..... Just in case. Well who tf is Fuse ODG?
*waits for 17 yr old to say OMG he's a sick rapper man, everyone who's anyone knows him *
He is a upcoming rapper he has got a few catchy songs out
Which shows what an odious man Bob Geldof is.
Why does he think he has the right to try to embarrass anyone who turns down his demand they appear on his charity record?
Yeah that's exactly why she turned down the chance to appear on a million selling single.
Yes, but it's not like she was going to profit from that.
How does she profit from this then?
More publicity than if she'd just been one of the participants.
He addressed the situation in his song 'Hello'.
He did record a song though for the We are the world album.
Probably because he's a megalomaniac control freak and his ego can't handle it if people don't do what he wants them to do.
As Adele is one of the rare performers who doesn't actively seek column inches in the press and prefers to avoid the limelight I somehow doubt that is the case at all.
