CMU reports that Sir Bob is not keen on "Yank" Madonna guesting on the Band Aid III project.
Bob Geldof has reportedly banned Madonna from taking part in Band Aid III
because she is American - the previous two versions of the track only featured British artists. Word is Madonna hoped to join Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Coldplay and The Darkness on the reworking of the song, but The People quote Midge Ure as saying: "As Bob says, at the end of the day she's a Yank. We don't need her."
Guess she has a ways to go in her quest to become anglicised.

Band-Aid III? What the hell are they doing it for? To save Bob Geldof's career?

Geldorf should be grateful she is willing to do it. She is still news and will bring much attention to the event. What is more important -- Madonna, being an American, or the cause itself? This is pretentious arrogance on Geldorf's part -- plain and simple.

The first Band Aid had Jody Watley in and she was American aso how did she manage to get in and Madonna didn't?
