- Tina was self invited to sing the National Anthem in Paris as Cadel Evans became the first aussie to win the Tour De France. Love ya Tina! You are a true Aussie - thats what its all about! Here is more information from the Herald Sun www.heraldsun.com.au/news/brea...
That ladies and gentlemen is what we call a singer.
Tina - gets the call, finds the aussie shirt, does the makeup in the car to the podium and then belts out the anthem like an absolute star.
i through this was one of the best ever versions that i have heard of someone singing the national anthem!
OMG what a voice, one of the best ever
Both of them are national treasures. Great to be Australian!
Julie Anthony you have a real contender here, as much as I adore you this was simply brilliant. I think Tina will go on to be invited to sing everywhere now. And how appropriate, Aussie living in France to sing the Anthem. Loved it.
That girl doesn't need auto-tune. That's some real singing right there, chock full of heart.
according to Tina ( interview also on youtube) , she woke up this morning with a dream to sing, and rang the organisers! Wow, awesome on so many levels.......
This is the most valuable version I have ever heard of our Australian National Anthem!!! What a shame two Aussies talking ruined it laughing.
Tina Arena you brought Cadel Evans to tears at 0:30 - 0:36 this is Australia at its finest, a World Frist, to such an honourable man! Thank you Cadel and Tina. Aussie Oi? We gotta get a betta theme going than Oi oi oi but yeah struth fantastic singing our most precious musical instrument Tina's voice!
Tina you can sing. Wow
Be proud Tina 's an Aussie talent born and bread. See the good and talent in people first,these gifted people will always be remembered . Their faults along with their cynical knockers will be long forgotten .
Wow beautiful song and singer. Congrats Cadel
im sooo proud 2 be an australian as with most aussies in my country
Moment émotion ! Bravo à tous....
@MPowerKinetics They are both champions! Cadell is now a national hero in Australia, however Tina has always been a legend! Her work spans decades! glad you like her too!
God I love that girl so much!
Nailed it!
This has to rate up there with Slim singing "Waltzing Matilda" at the closing ceremoney of Sydney Olympics.A fitting finale to a supreme effort from Cadel.
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi.
I love tina arena!
@albaby68 : I am pretty sure Mike tomalaris was just as surprised as everyone else when Tina got up to sing. Apparently she had just called that morning and asked to make an impromtu performance. The first time a national anthem has been sung at the Tour, for an Aussie.
Watched it in the UK, absolutely filthy the bloody poms stopped the telecast before the anthems bunch of battlers!
One of the greatest performances in sport the other riders threw everything at him they couldn’t beat him
They should have the national anthem being sung live every year!
It's amazing how this woman could turn this mediocre jokes of a national anthem into a beautiful masterpiece with her voice.
@LoneWolf60250 With respect, I beg to differ. It sounds very "live" to me. Tina is a wonderful singer & more than capable of singing the anthem without need of backing.
@tipene18 well said!
@shearn666 I'm sorry, but see her lips, you can see a little time between the moves and the song. But that doesn't change that this anthem is just wonderful. Sorry for my bad English, I'm French ^^".
@margate131 I agree it is about standing up for yourself and courage and so on, but those things are not unique to Australia. Those are good attributes in any country. The anthem needs to be about Australia not about how courageous one should be. The plebiscite in 1977 asked us what we wanted for the national anthem. 10% of the country voted for "Song of Australia". 19% voted for "God Save The Queen." 28% voted for "Waltzing Matilda." 43% chose "Advance Australia Fair." Choice of the people.
Ecoutez bien le début, on voit que c'est un play-back, l'hymne commence une seconde avant que Tina commence à chanter ^^. Mais félicitations au grand et attachant Cadel Evans, le meilleur coureur de sa génération.
Nope, Tina’s ‘voice’ was live, of course the backing music was recorded as they didn’t have a live band. Tina has spoken about this impromptu performance in interviews. Tina is famous for her live performances as she has such a naturally stunning voice.
@margate131 Waltzing Matilda LOL. So Aussie.... :\
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Was sagte ein bekannter deutscher Radrennfahrer ?
Er sagte: "Ich habe niemanden betrogen !"
@margate131 All I'm saying is that we were lucky enough to be consulted regarding the anthem in the '77 referendum. I don't understand why using results from an admittedly non-binding plebiscite is politically naive. I'm not saying that opinion has not changed. I'm not saying that Waltzing Matilda isn't a better song. All I was saying was that we HAVE been consulted. This is in contrast to the carbon tax where we have not even been offered a lowly non-binding plebiscite. I am 26 and stupid.
Luv you Tina, but dont tell my wife
@albaby68 : I absolutely felt the same thing. Who the hell is Tomalaris anyway? He should be axed.
@davidfrankinston..obviously you have no taste in music ,keep your nasty comments to yourself.
I'd like to praise Tina, when she found out Cadel won the tour she made her way from Italy to sing the national anthem for Cadel.Usually they only play a taped recording so for her to go out of her way to sing it live for him was amazing.She is the person you will never be dave.
@DAVIDFRANKSTON For one thing Tina Arena is no airhead she is extremely clever, witty and kind, plus she's not exactly young so she's not there for her looks! - She is a voice in a million and you have no taste.
@margate131 Bullcrap. What does Waltzing Matilda have to do with Australia apart from telling a story that occurs in Australia. That is a song about a swagman, some sheep, squatters etc. Not about our nation. And it revolves around a very small part of our culture. The current national anthem is much more encompassing and passionate. Waltzing Matilda should be our National Song, but not our National Anthem.
She has clear & present talent .. absolutely .. & I'd love to adore her .. but I saw her on Ch 10's The Project tonite 1st Feb, & frankly, she came across as a bit hard, arrogant, cynical, & cruel (even, I suspect, a good deal of unresolved anger & resentment, within .. hasn't touched a drink for 20 yrs, she said on air .. so maybe it fits). I'd love to think that's not true .. ie the way she came across .. but it was quite unmistakeable, live on-air. She seems besotted with France.
A beautiful rendition, but slightly annoyed by the people talking and laughing during the song. Excellent job by both Cadel and Tina though.
