Not really a deal but a great way to donate to charity and also enjoy the (debatably) lovely song. At least 76p (the proceeds made) of each sale will be donated to the We Love Manchester Fund in coordination with the British Red Cross.
This charity version of the single was released in celebration of the Ariana Grande & Friends One Love Manchester Concert.

well why even bother commenting if you don't wanna buy her music and just want to **** her off? she's done more to help the victims than our own government. she's personally donated a million pound, she's paying for all the victims funerals, she visited the victims in hospital and she helped arrange last night's concert just 2 weeks after the attack and she's only 23. im no fan but personally I think you should cut her a bit of slack, but if you think complaining about her having keyrings in her hair and wobbly vocals is justifiable then that shows what sort of person you are

I'm no fan of Ariana but I can't deny she's a great singer and, well, little kids like what they like and uncool adults always hate it. Way back in the mists of time my obsession was Adam Ant :smile: It broke my heart thinking of all those youngsters scared and traumatised on a night when they should have been carefree, loving life, excited to see a hero in the flesh, as kids should.
Peace and love to you all :smile:

If it's a scam it's dumb as well as bad.
How do I know it's not a scam? The Web is full of them.
Such incidents and the emotional response are a scammers dream;
Even worse, one could easily end up paying the perpetrators.

Buying something that you don't want or need "for charity" is just pointless virtue signalling, so yes, it's a bad thing.
Having looked at the Red Cross page for the "We Love Manchester" event, it is notable that it doesn't specify how any of the money raised will be spent and the add-on statement relating to London Bridge ("for victims of terror attacks anywhere in the UK") is nebulous enough that the money could end up going to support terrorism - afterall, Syrian migrants are "victims of terror attacks", they're living "in the UK" and ISIS have openly admitted that they have inserted fighters into the ranks of the migrants.

We don't know exactly what happens to that 23p. Maybe it will go to her own grief counseling? Perhaps buying gifts for the hospitalized? Granted I'm seeing this in an optimistic light, but, what we do know is 77% of proceeds are going to the sufferers (in coordination with BRC).
Personally I'd prefer people to donate directly to British Red Cross, but this could be seen as a net positive for the cause, as Ariana could bring millions of fans to the cause of helping the sufferers.

this app helps us all save so much money. for once lets give something back. 99p wont hurt anyone here but it will do more than help the charity, it will show the unity of everyone wanting to help with numbers.

Many people will vote cold because they consider these types of non deal posts heat begging.
