What makes me cry even more is all the Polynesian coming together and are so happy that someone has represented not just Samoa but ALL THE POLYNESIANS COUNTRIES comment section is comforting
Fiiaa fia correction she made us all proud stop trying to steal her lol she was born and bred in aotearoa therefore that makes her an honorary maori but I suppose we can share her.
47queenbee she only said Samoan because as you can see in the Video the lyrics are in Samoan, the dance is Samoan and they are all wearing all Samoan wear. Respect to all the Polynesian culture though.
Manu Samoa Not at all I just don't like it when samoans think she is exclusive to them because she done well if she was born and raised in samoa so be it but she wasn't shes kiwi born and raised so we all have the right to be proud of her success... got it?
ceeebay Right?! Only in NZ...I wish these uptight Americans over here would embrace their multitude of cultures in these types of competitions. Alas, it's 'Murica =(
Samoan LYRICS: Le sa'olotoga tumau i le loto finau taumafai e pu'e ma taofi mau E iai fita i ou luma malu i tau ua ma'imau. Sena e, Sena e Ia mataāla Sena e, Sena e I le lalolagi! E o mai, o mai E fau le pa lo ta va e le manumalo
We are proud! I know im one samoan American thats is proud. I cried my heart out thats how proud i am. And her performance was flawless, i hope the rock sees it. He would be proud too!
There's more in NZ and Aus because we are closer to those countries. However there are many US Americans just not many on the shows I guess. This is why I love NZ.
Still watching in '23❤ Extraordinarily beautiful, one of a kind voice and ora Nyssa! You are heaven sent. This historical performance of culture, love, and grace intertwined should be viral! 🇼🇸🇳🇿🇼🇸
im not even Samoan but dang im so proud of Nyssa and how far she has come . such a humble person and to showcase poly on xfactor for NZ and other parts of the world to see is amazing of her , proud to be poly/mela 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙
I always come back to this. Proud to be Samoan and Born and bred in NZ. I appreciate the Kiwis for embracing Polynesian culture and allowing us to be us. Nyssa thank you for blessing us with your talent. That was beautiful 😍
From the U.S., I have to say out of all the X Factors this by far is the best performance!! Way to go Nyssa!!! Keep doing your thing!! Be Bless!!! Much alofas!!!
Nyssa!! I hate it when people on the show say "voices like yours..." , there's NO voice like yours!! I hope I get to see you perform one day and wish you the best for your future, you brilliant soul you.
Thos song is in so many languages even Maori. I have never heard a samoan version. And you know what? Its effing beautiful. I hate Xfactor. Big ups 2 nz for voting an awesome amazing top 2 finalist didnt even know the finals was lastnight lol Your attahua Nyssa I still have your vids in my favorites congrats on making it tjis far and dont ever stop.
This is a memorable performance, to have this kind of talent in the land of the long white cloud is a proud moment for me not being of same nationality but just purely being full bred kiwi, 2020 n still searching up this video xx #NyssaCollins
I really loved the Samoan version with a kiwi classic. And she has showed her cultural dance moves because it's all about showcasing their own cultures and languages to bringing us where we belong and embrace our identify. This is what we see that this show is going to taking us a whole new level. Faafetai lava Nyssa and show the world how good we are. #keepourculturealive
i could watch this a million times and never get tired of it. The stillness of her voice and the grace of her actions including the girls it's absolutely amazing.
Just got the goosebumps for days... I'm Tongan so I couldn't understand the Samoan translation, but I definitely felt the love and soul behind her voice
Just so happy for this Polynesian girl Nyssa! It doesn't matter what nationality Nyssa is, she is still a polynesian and polynesia means, Samoa, Tongan, Hawaii, Tokelau, Fiji and all the Islands of the South Pacific! We can all share the beautiful Nyssa Collins and her talent! God bless our Polynesia and God bless Nyssa
Every1 just be proud of this girl! The fact that X-Factor allowed the contestants to perform in other languages is just an added bonus (although it sounds amaze-balls in samoan, got to admit that), so let's be grateful and get back to listening queen Nyssa and her beautiful voice :D #angelvoicedragonlungs #proud
Wow! I cried so hard bc thats how proud Nyssa & her whole performance did made me feel to be samoan. Im aalready proud to be Samoan but this herd girrrl took it to another level. Love from America! I can see da passion and how proud u look representing SAMOA to da world. I hope The Rock sees this! Beautiful rendition, beautuful voice, dancing, culture, EVERYTHING!
I cried watching this. Lol Thank you so much Nyssa for being an inspiration to many of our people and representing our culture well. God bless you! Alofa atu from the U.S. ❤️
Ke aloha nei e Nyssa! He maikaʻi loa! Love to you Nyssa! This rendition was purely amazing - displaying the beauty of our Polynesian languages and peoples!
That was so beautiful loving that performance. I've watched a lot of Xfactor from different countries. That was the best and my all time favorite. Wishing you all the best Nyssa.
Amazing bro Timothy Moananu .....love this song...first time watching it...people always talk about this girl and i never bother to watch her songs...makes me wanna cry and scream out loud that i am and will always be a proud Samoan:)
What makes me cry even more is all the Polynesian coming together and are so happy that someone has represented not just Samoa but ALL THE POLYNESIANS COUNTRIES comment section is comforting
moesha pempengco Exactly. This makes me cry at how beautiful this is. Makes us all proud to be Polynesian.
East Timor too arohaaa nyssa
Yes ❤
You made every single Samoan proud Nyssa CHEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOO
Fiiaa fia correction she made us all proud stop trying to steal her lol she was born and bred in aotearoa therefore that makes her an honorary maori but I suppose we can share her.
47queenbee she only said Samoan because as you can see in the Video the lyrics are in Samoan, the dance is Samoan and they are all wearing all Samoan wear. Respect to all the Polynesian culture though.
but it was a palagi song all the same just translated so therefore we all have a right to claim her and I too respect all the poly cultures.
47queenbee so basically you'll accept her as long as you don't have to accept as a Samoan woman .. got it.
Manu Samoa Not at all I just don't like it when samoans think she is exclusive to them because she done well if she was born and raised in samoa so be it but she wasn't shes kiwi born and raised so we all have the right to be proud of her success... got it?
Still dont ger over this, Cheers from Canary Islands, dear islanders
That flawless transition from Samoa to English 👌👌👌
Im a proud kuki and congrats to Beau on his success but to be honest Nyssa had my vote because of this beautiful performance..
Jay Tee 👍👍
Me too. Love me some Brother love and Beau but defs thought Nyssa shouldve won.
Me too bro I'm kuki but yea man she should of won
I honestly couldn't have cared who won because it's such an amazing sight seeing two Polynesians embrace their culture! #polynation
ceeebay Right?! Only in NZ...I wish these uptight Americans over here would embrace their multitude of cultures in these types of competitions. Alas, it's 'Murica =(
Haha,totally agreed,just glad seeing beautiful Poly talent on screen,of course New Zealand. ( :
Polynesians are just great musicwise talented n embracing their own culture love it!
and make it to finals. Proud to be samoan and cookisland❤😂
Samoan LYRICS:
Le sa'olotoga tumau
i le loto finau
taumafai e pu'e ma taofi mau
E iai fita
i ou luma
malu i tau ua ma'imau.
Sena e, Sena e
Ia mataāla
Sena e, Sena e
I le lalolagi!
E o mai, o mai
E fau le pa lo ta va
e le manumalo
