Best version I’ve ever heard, raw and biting. Extraordinary.
Tina makes every song her own, she's that good!
I love this !
So natural in the moment.
2 very class performers goofing off!
Beauty and the Beast...... Tina Such a underated Singer here in Australia... Cheers. Mark🇦🇺
Tex is still tex and Tina still Tina, icons xxx
I have ALWAYS adored Tex Perkins and everything he's done. Never been a Tina Arena fan. . but he let her down so badly in this performance its no wonder she looks him up and down when he cruises on stage and fucks up immediately. He would have thought he was too cool to even rehearse for this. Tina blew me away. She put a new spin of heart wrenching emotion into that simple yet genious little song and her she never dropped out of her characters anguish through Tex's completely unprofessional blunder. Also a very difficult range to sing through the verses and she carried it well. Tex has a lower range than her and he still didn't cut it. So sorry to say I lost a bit of love for Tex on this one and gained a new respect for Tina Arena. Also her performance with Jeff Martin singing" Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush on Rockwiz is pure MAGIC. They both fucking nail it check it out.
Agreed. I've never liked tex particularly, but this shows who can sing. And I'm sure Tex knew that coming in, and he wasn't that comfortable with it, I'm sure. Tina has a great voice, and it shows in this. She's a great performer. I think it's great idea, having her sing the main bit, with him just chiming in. But he's embarrassing. It definitely wouldn't have worked the normal way around, because he doesn't have the voice for it. It could have been great, but he did what he did. Go Tina, Boo Tex!!
got it in one suzanne.
In retrospect, Tina has been doing this for more than 40 years. That would make her world class I suppose.
Tex obviously wasn't happy working with a prima donna who treats roadies like shit.
@@kevbres8930 she's taking herself too serious, I think that made him laugh...and Tex usually does covers as a joke. He likes to joke, that's not a crime(even on fuckin tv😁)
Legend has it that Tina is still holding that ship up from sinking
SHOWING DISPASSIONATE INTEREST IN THE SONG - TOTALLY GREAT RENDITION!!!!
Tina is a Goddess ... always was ... always will be !! :-)
how could they let this duet happen? tina could've carried the whole song on her own and it would've been perfect
riveting performances. brilliant . need to seek out some of Tina's work.
Get it all !!!!
Tina & Jeff Martin Don't Give Up
Sublime
I enjoyed it, it was very different and to me had meaning, but what would I know, I just like music and it to me is a great song
The comments are right up there with the performance!
As always Tina sings like a gem, Cant say the same for this guy Tex. Maybe I'm bias, cause I always have loved Tina's singing ;)
"WHO I USED TO KNOW" - FOR A PERSON = WHICH OR THAT IS USED FOR OBJECTS - GOOD GRAMMAR FOR MUSICIANS IS ALWAYS DESIRABLE TO TEACH THE KIDDIES GOOD MANNERS.
She murdered it,Tex just defiled the corpse
Ffs it’s like making Lenard cohen or Tom waites do the harmonies, still love the deep vocals , our boy tex
His Lenard cohen moment
Go tex !!
Love you both x
*Somebody**that I used to know**Terrific- Tex and Tina*
Fabulous !
Excellent
NICE
This is just so abysmal
And I love this song
Great!
WHAT DOES = BUDECH - MEAN?
This is painful. Did they swap roles at the last minute?
This sounds like such a great idea, but whoever orchestrated it phoned it in. Who gets Tina Arena and has her sing an octave down?!
Tex, you didn't have to stoop so low with that performance.
Love It ', love music :)
Tina is such a great singer, and she is sooooo hot!
OHHHHH YESSS !!!!!
Jostain minulle tuntemattomasta syystä laulajan mikrofoni ei ole koskaan oikealla korkeudella.
Muutoin hyvä.
Loving Tina, would have been better if Tex remembered the words.
Tex, you didn't even try.
Tex is woeful !
that was... by far....the BEST fukking version of that song.... i have EVER heard.!!! it was arty AND farty!!! geeeeenius!!!!
I ENJOY LISTENING TO GIRLS WHO SAY THE WORDS "FEELS SO ROUGH".... WHY? I DON'T KNOW....WHY?
He has the Lenard cohen / nic cave voice there,
Tex, oh dear. Fortunately, Tina is a professional.
Like for Tina!
PERKINS IS SUCH A BIG HAM ACTOR - CATCH HIM WITH JUSTINE CLARKE - LIGHTNING GIRL AND DESPARADO
lol glad art like beauty is in the eye of the beholder ,,, hehehe looking down at those comments. ahaha I liked it
HE MUST HAVE TREMENDOUS CHARISMA ... OR SOMETHING????
Did Tex Perkins ever do a cover of Dreams Never End? And why does Tina Arena remind one so much of Camille O'Sullivan, by way of her facial expressiveness, here?
Haha love them both but this is a catastrophe of a duet
I love this, and I have no idea why it copped so much flack, if anything I think maybe Tex shouldn't have "sung so low" ;)
she looks like a dramatic actress - maybe from "Streetcar"
Tex, tsp into Lenard and Nik,your ps xxx
CORRECT ENGLISH IS; "WHO I USED TO KNOW..."
Oh dear !
And so the careers of two former Australian stars came crashing down like flight 370 - never to be heard of again. Singers that we used to know...
Pinky Stomper "Former Australian stars" you say? Tina Arena is still releasing records and just had a platinum album hit last year. Maybe you should do some research before commenting.
Pinky Stomper WTF is Gotye now?
Dean Cumming The Presets
Derrick Gavin Lam I agree. Tina Arena still has her staying power and that voice too!
+Pinky Stomper gotcha, but love Tex anyway after all those decades
I agreed! Tina fixes all the songs she sings!
DID TINA REALLY KNOW WHAT SHE WAS UP FOR - SINGING WITH TEX PERKINS??????
I wish they'd chosen a different song to duet on. This song had it's 15, there's SO many timeless songs that would've been far better. I love both of these performers, both classy and better than this.
SMOULDER SINGER!!!
Love so much of Tina's work but honestly she should have left this one alone.
Mismatch made in HELL..........
Oh dear
DRESSER!!!!....HAIR PINS FOR BOTH
Awful!!!!! Love watching Tex thinking it's a joke but painful to listen to....
Bad choice of song. I adore her but this is just so wrong :(
well said....i'm a defs tina fan, but this is the worse thing i have ever heard from her...crappola...
Rebecca H It's too low for her... she had to adapt it to the man who sings with her :(
Sound like she had a bit of trouble with levels as well as the arrangement. Sad waste of what can be a great voice.
She has a beautiful voice!! But the song doesn't fit her.
Don't worry, this is spanish XDDD I'm just answering to 3prettylady in a very particular style XD Don't try to translate it, all these are idioms from my country XD
bye!
Tex was to nice a guy to do this song
WHO I USED TO KNOW - THE CORRECT GRAMMAR
Tina putting in the show and owning the song then Tex , well we know he can be much better than that.
Never heard Tina struggle before. Wow. The verses are appalling.
I agree usually she can sing anything - not great at all
They flipped it
The original song & singer is not great but his strained voice suits the soulful sorrow & defeated angst of the lyrics
It was quite daring for Tina to take the male part even if it didn't quite suit her voice & singing style
Tex is just such an amazing entertainer - he knows his strengths & doesn't try to be Pavarotti or Elvis he just does his own macho style & is confident enough in his presence to focus on impacting the audience
Tina is clearly in a different league as far as talent & technical brilliance as a singer but this doesn't always mean she won't have off nights or be susceptible to poor artistic choices - it's refreshing to see & hear her struggle - she is human & it can be a refreshing reminder that when she nails a live performance or her own songs & recordings that we are fortunate to witness something truly amazing in her talent & peak performances
Tex Dark Horses Sweet Nothing album is an underrated masterpiece in my opinion - stunning musicianship, lyrics, songs & performances
Too low for Tina & even for Tex too. Tina's vocals in the chorus section was pretty good though & much higher too.
u can tell that it's nerves ...nerves got the best of her
After 40 years of performing ... no nerves ... Tex stuffed it up !
get a grip!
..JUST SOMEBODY [WHO] I USED TO KNOW = NOT [THAT] I USED TO KNOW - BAD GRAMMAR BY THE SONGWRITER
like watching a train crash in slow motion- take this video down
HOW DOES HE KNOW ALL THESE CHICKS????
sounds like playing the saw...
Can a heavy metal band please cover this song
Ok. Well wow. I left the last comment before he walked on. Oh my! This is embarrassing. He forgot the words then kind’ve vomited into the mic.
Polite applause.
Eek
could have been better-i reckon Tex knew this would be shit
WTF Tex
The choice of musical instruments is interesting. so was the idea of having Gotye's part sung by a woman and Kimbra's by a man ! Unfortunately, those two have BUTCHERED that wonderful song !
I love Tina, but she didnt' nail the verses, great on the chorus and he sucked! So awesome that she didn't start laughing when he did and kept her cool.
Oh dear. Love them both but.... no... not this song. Too low a register for them both. Love watching them though. Luckily there are millions of other fantastic songs they've sung that will obliterate this memory.
That song has always been weird
Tex was awful. Tina was great but sadly could barely hear her, very poor audio mixing.
BETTER GRAMMAR; IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN = "WHO I USED TO KNOW"
Tina was fine during the chorus, but the rest was awful other than the instruments.
This is AWFUL! Why? Why did this even happen? My poor ears
flapsmcgee agreed
this is crass....cringe-worthy collaboration
that was fucking awful
is that Tex guy even singing ? sounds like hes talking . no life in his voice at all .
Is this a joke!!!!!!
Thanks for ruining the song!
the worst pairing for sure! haha tex too cool for tina alright!
Um. Did we watch the same thing? She carried that sinking ship
NEVER LEARN ENGLISH FROM A SINGER/S
Dislike.
twinkle , twinkle little star...rip off.
3 bags, bitch, the alphabet song.
What the hell..not good
She is bad
Oh dear
