As a Kiwi from the Pacific, watching this in Barbados, I am homesick with immense pride. Samoa, Pasifika, Commonwealth. With all that is going wrong in the world today this gave me hope. Thank you. Immense
Yo when Miss South Pacific came out with her mum and the little girls, wow my heart…. Then Miss Samoa came out straight afterwards, wow I was mesmerised. I couldn’t hold back the tears! Just BEAUTIFUL and super proud for Samoa.
My Dad is Maori and my Mum is Samoan. We moved to Australia in 1982. I just watched all three nations I hold so dear perform a welcome at the same time. Such a joy to watch. The siva Samoa at the end made me cry. Malo Samoa, Fafetai.
That’s so cool. Same feeling here. My Mum is Samoan and my Dad is English. So seeing both nation displayed on this event makes me happy. My parents were happy watching this event too.
@Sunshyn720 still can't believe CHOGM was in Samoa. Watching King Charles doing things around Samoa, I kept asking myself..is this really Happening? So proud of our little island.
Thank you Samoa for your wonderful and kind welcome to our King Charles and Queen Camilla ❤ You are an amazing nation with a fantastic history and culture. God Bless you all.
I cried seeing our pasefika brothers and sisters in this performance and then cried even more throughout the whole performances. The dancing, the singing and the beautiful, graceful siva samoa by our Miss Samoa, oka so proud. Malo lava everyone and to the organizers, viia le Atua i mea uma. Malo le fa’aeaea atunu’u❤
Im so proud to see our beautiful Samoa on show for the world to see. Our dances, traditions, and ways of knowing are deep rooted in our culture and people. ❤️🇼🇸
Not too long, Not too short, just the right choice of dances and very lively, singing was on point, young dancers as well. Thanks for entertaining our guests. Surely, they were impressed and well entertained before discussing issues that matter to the Pacific region and the whole world!
Thank you, Samoa. You made the Blue Pacific look Good. Performances, Timing, Entries, Exists, Lightings, . . . were on Point. And your conclusion, daaang - It was mesmerizing. Congratulations!!!
This is one of the best opening ceremonies in the Pacific. Vinaka vakalevu Samoa for showing the Pacific culture to the Commonwealth leaders. We are rich in culture and diversity🙏❤️
Thank You Samoa for representing our nation & Pacific WELL. I'm always grateful to God for our nation, our culture & who we are as people. To God be the Glory. Beautiful🙌🇼🇸🇬🇧
Manaia o nai alo ma fanau asi o tatou Atunuu. Aemaise foi nai fanau atu I fafo. Beautiful Preparation Samoa. ❤️ Well Done to Your Honourable Prime Minister Fiame Doctor Naomi Mataafa Faumuina Mulinu'u II. And the whole Samoa. This is the best of the best. God bless Samoa 🇼🇸 🙏 ❤️.
Polynesians Micronesians Melanesians All our traditional dances tell stories of past present and future. The gestures in our cultural dances are movements of the Land, Ocean and Love for Nature.
So proud of our Beautiful Samoa and Bless our King and Queen Charles and Camilla And Bless all the Leaders of the Worlds Sucj beautiful celebration 🇼🇸🙏🌺❤️👏🎉❤️
Just brilliant, we all have to be super proud of the Samoan Community & their culture. What a fantastic welcome with the red carpet for the King & Queen. Thanks for a great job hosting CHOGM &" welcoming all dignitaries. Lovely to watch, a Nation to be proud of ❤❤
Se ua ta fia falealili i au teuga ma tapenapenaga matagofie. Aulelei mea uma. Viia le Atua i lo outou gapatia fatuatia i le tapenaga o le fa'amoemoe. Laufofoga fiafia ma le tausa'afia. Malo lau Afioga i le Tama'ta'i Palemia lau Afioga Fiame Mata'afa le manafanafa aua se lelei o le malo o Samoa Matalasi. Fa'amanuia le Atua ia te outou uma.
Actually Tuilaepa won Samoas bid to host the commonwealth forum. Lets give the credit where its due. Shall we? Of course Samoa was going to pull it off with the welcoming no matter who the adminisration was going to be. But lets not forget the hardest part of bringing the forum to Samoa was all Tuilapeas effort.
@@Cory99-f8j Yes, I still remember it. There were also a lot of people who disagreed with Tuilaepa because they thought it would not do anything for Samoa but He was only trying to help develop Samoa.. Now look, many people from other parts of the world have never heard of Samoa now they do and they want to visit.. This is great for tourism, and will create more jobs in Samoa for the Samoan people. To help our local people with their resorts and business.
Watching this reminds me of how proud I am to be Samoan🙏👍💪💯❤️Thank you very much to all of our people that came together to make this an memorable event for our Samoan people in Samoa and all around the world. Fa'amanuia tele le Atua.💪💯👍🙏 God bless!!!

WoW Samoan knows how to put on a great show for the King and Queen. You should be so proud. Thank you
It’s tradition
It's not a 'show'. It is an assertion of the strength ad resilience of culture and tradition despite historical onslaught.
Samoa is such a beautiful island. I knew very little about this island before the King visit. Wonderful place to host the CHOGM!
Im so proud to see our beautiful Samoa on show for the world to see. Our dances, traditions, and ways of knowing are deep rooted in our culture and people. ❤️🇼🇸
kıpır kıpır, hem savaşçı hem neşeli bir halk ve onun birbiriyle uyumundan ortaya çıkan güzelliğe coşkuyla tapımları. Bu dansı çok seviyorum❤
