While comparisions are always bound to be there and i have no doubt that
Another Day in Paradise was a masterpiece, I think its unfair to cite genres of
music with the cause that its supporting....since you mention
rap...........because there are innumerable hip hop artistes who are all
singing for a cause (or rapping) ...not necessarily poverty eradication but the
bottomline is the CAUSE...and have a huge fan following and are winning
awards..............
Thus the point being while oh bosnia and another day...may have been superior
melodywise, it takes nothing away from the fact that pfmb still manages to
deliver the punch !

The benchmark for poverty videos is "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil
Collins.. (newbies do search Youtube) Serious stuff. Similar, (tainted)
BLACK AND WHITE video. But the song and the lyrics are much better in
PC's case (it's only one of the best songs of all time). Without
getting into semantics, or lyrical value, the hip-hop/rap attitude in
PFMB unfortunately does not fully capture the seriousness of the
project and leaves me confused about who the intended audience is. Just
stating an opinion. Something like Oh! Bosnia! would have been more apt
in my opinion.
