Tina Arena departed the Young Talent Time show in October 1983, ahead of her 16th birthday, due to the Network Ten Young Talent Time series age-limit contract stipulation to give way for younger members.
Perfectly written and spot on. Brings back memories.
Ahhh I gotcha
You always ask how Australia has so many good singers. Young Talent Time was certainly one of the reasons. We all grew up watching.
Two of the greatest opera singers of all time were Dame Nellie Melba & Dame Joan Sutherland, who were both Australian.There's a theory why Aussies are such good singers.We speak in the front of our face, so learning to project is a lot easier for us than say an American who has an accent that makes them speak in the back of their throat.Richard Harris. the Irish actor & original Dumbledore, had a hit with the ballad version of Macarthur Park in the 70s &Donna covered it. Kylie Minogue is probably our disco queen even thou she isn't a great singer.After that, probably Marcia Hines.
@@scattysafari7742 Maybe Olivia Newton John and Renee Gayer also during disco time. Chrissy Amphlet was around but not disco so much
A 16 year old girl with the voice of someone twice her age and experience. No wonder she exceeded all her and our expectations of her abilities. Thanx for all your expertise 🥰🐨
It is called Young Talent time man, and as Shandah said: Tina had to leave at the age of 16 due to the show rules. She was on it for the longest out of any cast members (1975-1983). It had certain children who could sing and was on for about two decades. This was how she became famous in Australia. Then 1990s onwards she had her solo career.
Wow that's amazing
Pretty spectacular for a 16 year old. She was known for her rendition of this song. I watched YTT every week just to watch her 😊
@Ray Johnson guilty as charged.
Shows our age but best tv time ever
First I watched YTT, as I had no choice....all the family watched....then when Tina 's star rose, I was hooked. Massive crush.
@@markosswald7041 Ditto - had my mum trained to alert me when Tina was coming on YTT if I wasn't near the TV. Now my infatuation is with her voice, as I believe she is not only one of the best singers in the world right now (in her mid 50's), but also must surely be one of the best in history. Her style is Aussie all the way, yet ear candy for the whole world. A one of a kind.
I would've been 7 years old crying my eyes out watching this, loved the show, watched it religiously, longed to be on it and always cried my eyes out when the members had to leave. Watching this now is making me almost cry again
I remember watching that episode and crying my eyes out 😭 Danni Minogue (Kylies sister) was the little girl to the left that Tina was talking to. They both started their careers in Young Talent Time 🙂 I would say the disco queen of Australia would be Kylie Minogue as she does a lot of disco stuff whereas other Aussie female singers do a broader range of music 😃
As great as Kylie was/is…..she was a touch late for ‘disco’…..the queen was Marcia Hines….Kylie started in the 80s. :-)
@@annebaker9408 Yep you're right - it was Marcia Hines.
I sobbed through Tina's final episode.
McCarthur Park was originally sang by the actor Richard Harris in 1968
Came here to make sure someone pointed this out.
Strangely, while there are videos of Harris on here the song isn't available on Spotify.
That man who called is Johnny Young. He is the Australian music industry king pin. He created stars for fun. He was there on centre stage, behind the scenes as a producer, he was everywhere. If Johnny liked you, Australia will like you. He wrote and produced some great Aussie music also like "Real thing'. In Tinas case, God made Tina and Johnny just made sure we got to hear her. Tina's voice and character is beyond the angels.
Grew up watching YTT each week on TV. From a young age Tina had such an amazing voice… we in Australia watch her mature into a very talented young lady.
Tina left Young Tallent Time in 1983 when she was 16 years old. That was the age limit for the show. She joined the show when she was 9 years old and was known as "Tiny" Tina Arina. The host Johnny Young (hence the shows name) was an Australian (born in The Netherlands) pop singer in the mid-1960s, he toured with the Rolling Stones and supported Roy Orbison on their Australian tours. Johnny went on to be a composer, record producer, disc jockey, television producer and TV host. He wrote the two hit songs "The Real Thing" and "The Girl That I Loved" for Russell Morris, who you have also reacted to. Johnny Young did a great thing in finding and training Australia's kids in music. He opened talent schools all around the country. He is still going and is now aged 74.
I love your username, Kim! 🙂
Kylie Minogue's Little Sister Dannii got Her start with Young Talent Time. She was in this video as well, but without Singing. Dannii was a Household Name long before anyone had even heard of Kylie Minogue. One of the most Iconic moments in Aussie TV was when both Minogue Sisters sang "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" on YTT. It's had over 40 thousand views on TH-cam already.
Oh wow didn't know that
Yes Danni i think is a better singer than Kylie. Kylie being on neighbours made her singing career progress.
YTT was an institution and gave so many young singers their start - including the Minogues! I got choked up when she mentioned her cousins - I sang with her cousin Francesca (Frankie) Arena, and her voice was equal to Tina’s. Same effortless belt too - she played Eva Peron in Evita and that role is virtually impossible to sing. What talent, they both make me a proud resident of Melbourne’s West xo
Goodnight Australia 😘
Young talent time was fantastic. It ran from 1971-1988. Tina left aged 16 (this recording) in 1983.
Love this beautiful woman, she is such an Aussie icon!!
Tina Arena has an amazing voice, gives me chills. As a kid I used to watch her in ytt every week, I loved her. This performance she nailed it considering she was emotional from leaving the show
Hi guys , MY name GISELE and my Twin sister and I watched YTT same as everyone else , mostly because of Tina and Jamie Redfern ( huge crush ) He was seen by Liberace and went on tour with him in 1972 . Tina looks and sounds even better now , what a great voice . I come from a French background with my family but 1st generation born here , and I got to tell you Tina had a huge career in France . They started to compere her to Edith Piaf and that is saying something .The French are very protective of Piaf and they took Tina to their hearts , some of the songs she wrote or covered were so fantastic Love Love to her . P.S MacArthur Park was sung by Richard Harris in A film and musical called CAMELOT the story of King Arthur ,also starring Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero as Lancelot , cheers from Australia xo
I grew up with Tina, we are of the same age... I watched YTT religiously... and she is still 'the one' for me as Australias most brilliant female singer. John Farnham of course being our best male :)
Indeed. Mention TYT & any Gen Xer Aussie will get misty-eyed. It was compulsory viewing in our household.
...and *SIA*. So many of the world's brilliant singers say they are in awe of *Sia Furler*.

I always loved her co star Micheal Campbells voice❤
I'm absolutely thrilled that you're diving into Tina Arena. She's unfortunately so underrated. Which is extremely sad. She has a broad singing talent. It's a rare treat that Tina responds to her fans. 😁 I was blown away when she responded to my post regarding her book. 😱
Tina Arena was a contestant on Young Talent Time (YTT) in 1974. She was asked to join the cast and from 1976 (aged 9) until she left in 1983 just one month before her 16th birthday. So she was 15 in this video. The contract rules stated that you could only be a cast member until you turned 16 to allow new and younger cast members to join. The little girl who handed her the bouquet of flowers was Danielle Minogue, younger sister of Kylie Minogue. Dannii has had success as a singer mainly in Great Britain and Australia and has been a Judge on several shows such as The X Factor UK and The X Factor Australia, Australia’s Got Talent, Britain And Ireland’s Next Top Model and The Masked Singer Australia. Johnny Young host and producer of Young Talent Time from 1971 - 1988 is a singer, composer, record and tv producer. YTT found and trained young Australian Talent. Tina was amazing right from the start. I’m glad you enjoyed seeing her sing. She is a much loved Australian. Thanks for watching our talented Aussies. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
Good night Australia!!!
I remember watching this at home with my mum and dad all those years ago. It was very emotional when a YTT member left the show as we watched it religiously every Saturday night.
I did as well. Even as a young adult.
Aussie here and I’ve never seen this. I loved it. But Tina has this way of going all in. Still a sensational talent. Chains is a killer song 👍
Johnny Young (hence “Young Talent Time”) is a Dutch born Aussie.. was quite the singing legend back in the 60’s with his group the Strangers.. had a few number one hits.. he was also a composer, a DJ, a record producer, a TV host.. He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010 and Tina Arena flew in from Paris to present the award. She gave a very emotional speech it was very special! He’s now 74, so abt same age as Farnsey.
John is 72.
@@karenstrong8887 yes. Lol. I meant about the same age (same era) 😉
Oh so he's still alive and well then? That's incredible to hear
Johnny Young wrote Russell Morris biggest hits 'The Real thing' epic song for its time. I think you've done one other Russell Morris son already.
Dr_Kap obv failed maths. 1983 -16 is NOT 74!! HAHAHA, Tina Arena in 2022 is only 55. Dear o dear.
Man, I loved YTT as a kid. I had a schoolboy crush on Juanita Coco. I was saddened to hear that she had died in a car crash at only 17.
She was a singer who grew into her voice, and today she is awesome to see live, that show was the best for young ones to start and us Aussies had our eyes glued to the tv every week to watch
Young Tina singing Memories brought shivers to my skin. What a lovely performance.
Yes like ur Disney one. This lady has worked hard - I remember seeing her in a club. She always worked. You should hear her MacArthur park. That’s when I was outside, walked back inside and said who’s this? And she’s been my TOP sing ever. “ young talent time
Young Talent Time was an Australian television variety program produced by Lewis-Young Productions and screened on Network Ten. The original series ran from 1971 until 1988 and was hosted by singer-songwriter and record producer Johnny Young for its entire run. Tina said "I did struggle with it. In the beginning I did. I was like... I’m 16, I've got to go. And it was confronting only because it had been so familiar and something I loved so much, but I really was equally ready to move on as well," she explained. Peace out.
Debbie Byrne was also a beautiful singer on young talent time. She was my favourite😊 her and Tina were on the show in those years 🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏❤️🎶🦋🦘🏡🌴🇦🇺🌹
As a french that has been introduced to Tina’s magic only in her 30s, I love to discover her youth performances. She was amazing from day 1
Thanks a lot.
My family used to sit together every week and watch Young Talent Time. Was good family entertainment.
Memories!!!! I remember watching this on tv at the time and wishing she was going to stay on the show. I stoped watching after this performance 😢❤
She blossomed from a child TV preformer to one of Australia's most successful singer song writers international aclaim in my countriees she is a legend love her career so much
Oh gosh! I'm crying. This was my childhood. I grew up watching Tina Arena every week on YTT. I've always been a fan and always will be. Would live to see the video of her talking to you.
Kylie is the queen of disco
Disco.was wayyyy before Kylie. We didn't have much of a disco music scene in Australia. It was imported disco music. Bee gees was as disco as we.got
@@meganlawson4575 If you were to think of who produced disco NPW it's Kylie. Yes Bee Gees, also Marcia.
Tina is amazing…. And hard to believe she was only 16 ⭐️👍🇦🇺
The Queen of disco in Australia was Marcia Hines. An artist who is still performing, simply because she enjoys it.
Back in the day, Marcia Hines was the Queen of Pop (literally, there was a yearly award for that).
Her voice is also amazing!
Wow I’ve seen soooo many Tina Arena performances, but how have I never seen this?!?!?
This is the young Tina I remember. It shows all the promise that she didn't us with and far exceeded all expectations.
She actually performed with Donna Summer!
Swapping between Donna' and Barbra's part in No More Tears/Enough is Enough!💯
Wait did she!!!
@@ThatSingerReactions Donna Summer VH1 special 1999 from about 24:52 for the actual performance, you can see the rehearsal on TH-cam as well.
McArthurs Park is a "very" ENGLISH song! 🧐😃👍 Disco maybe Marcia Hines! 😃 There was a boy named Jamie too, who was mentored by Liberace!? Some sad tales, and happy endings! Great concept YTT! 👍😁 "All my lovin, I will send to you"! 💙🎶🫂
Heartfelt gratification for your love of our Aussie musicians, and music. Thank you 🙏🌺
Tina’s range, for a 16 year old was phenomenal and her range even now is still spectacular. I saw her LIVE a few years ago and hands down, one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. Grew up watching her on YTT and then watched her evolve into who she is now! So good! They’ve recently had a 50 year reunion in which both Tina & Danni Minogue were part of.
years later tina actually got to sing along side with donna summers herself singing no more tears (enough is enough) and they were absolutely amazing together, crazy!
Really? I’ll have to look that up 👍
In the description notes below the clip it says "Tina’s last performance as a team member on Young Talent Time singing The Way We Were & Macarthur Park - October 1983". Beautiful voice.
She was FIFTEEN amazing
One of my all-time favourite singers ❤effortless and beautiful xxx
Amazing she was only 15 in this video and her voice had yet to mature (just shy of 16). This was filmed at the Channel 10 studios at Nunawading, Melbourne.
Blast from the past! Good ol' "Young Talent Time". Some big singers started there, including Tina Arena, Dannii Minogue, Sally Boyden, Jamie Redfern, Vikki Broughton, and Debra Byrne. Personally, my favorite was Beven Addinsall. He didn't become big, but he was awesome. I watched it from 1980 till it ended. It was the Aussie version of the Mickey Mouse Club. As for Disco Queens, for Aussies, it would be Marcia Hines along with Olivia Newton-John.
Have you heard Tina Arena speak? She has always been so well spoken & punctual… she could read me the dictionary! 😍
She’s so classy fabulous! Love her!
She is our Tina arena from Australia girl
I loooooved this. I saw her sing MacArthur Park a few years ago live it was such a treat. Amazing at 16 and still killing it
She was my favourite on YTT. Amazing from a child and even more amazing and a grown woman. 💜 she is a very special talent. 👏👏👏
YTT was a family entertainment show that kids watched on a Saturday night Tina was one of the favourite members but really most of the kids were incredible singers and they did some old school dancing as well. The team members like Tina became a part of the show from around 7-12 ish and stayed on the show until they reached 16 so Tina was just 16 here. Johnny Young the host was also the Producer I think and really facilitated a lot of talented youngsters over the years. He was a singer himself. IT also had a talent quest component where contestants competed against each other singing/dancing/playing an instrument. I wanted to be on that show soooooooo badly as a kid I spent a lot of my free time singing and dancing and performing for my family 😁 I remember this episode vividly I cried when she left.
Me TOO! Singing & dancing around the house - dreaming of being on YTT! Loved that show & everyone on it.
What was the first single that Tina came out with solo after this - where she was so determined to be ' all grown up now!'? Fans reeled in shock! ...as I recall. 🤣
@@linmonash1244 'I need your body' was the single - with Tina decked out in black dress (with "the girls" tastefully on display 😁) and heels to show everyone "hey, I'm not a little girl any more". Then a bit later of course came 'Chains",' which really told us all "I'm a grown-ass woman now!" 😄💃👠💄🎤 🎶
@@kristenogilvie7105 That's right. Tasteful but still shocking in the day to YTT Fans !
I was so excited when I saw that a request for a video of Tina's farewell performance on Young Talent Time had worked its way to the top your list, and you did not let me down in any way at all Nic. This was another reaction video that filled my heart with joy so . . . thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for making my day better.
Wow I was born in 1977 and I grew up with YTT. I had their albums and I would dance and sing to it all the time. It was every young child’s dream who wanted to to be a singer and dancer to be on YTT. I have loved every Tina Arena song, and wow you should hear her sing French songs 🥰🥰
Grew up watching YTT & Hey, Hey it's Saturday ....the good old 80's, they don't make em like they use to.
Australian Queen of disco, tough but wld have to say Kylie Minogue, Tina went more down the soulful route but definitely up there👍
🤠✌🇦🇺
I’d put in a vote for Marcia Hines as queen of disco in Oz a little more so than Kylie
I’d also add Renee Geyer to that list. Probably one of Australia‘s greatest female singers.
My goodness we have been spoilt for talent here in Australia. We can really take it for granted. I was one of the blessed ones to live during this era of YTT, Hey Hey it’s Saturday and Countdown. Best time ever and greatest music to come out of Oz
I think the club she was part of was like The Mickey Mouse Club. The Mouse had Britney, Christina, Justin, etc.. I think they might have had their own night when each of them left. This was October of 1983. She was 15 when she appeared here. She had to leave it was contractual 16 and you're out.
Actually it is a Jimmy Webb classic and Richard Harris, the actor, made it a hit before Donna got ahold of it. I liked hers better but we still have to credit Jimmy Webb for writing it. Jimmy wrote a lot of great songs many sung by the late great Glenn Campbell, Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Didn't We, Up, Up And Away and Cry In My Sleep, to name a few.
Best version of Macarthurs Park is by a Scottish band Beggars Opera 1971 IMO anyway.
I always thought Macarthur Park was a ridiculous song but Tina turns it into a triumph. As they say, she could sing the phone book and make it sound good!
Young Talent Time was hosted by Johnny Young, who introduced Tina here. YTT had a group of young singers who performed individually or as a group each week. The show also had weekly competition. The regulars had an upper age limit of 16.
Yep. I grew up watching Tina and YTT as well. Loved her then and still love her. She is amazing and is still beautiful too😍👍🏼
That was a young Danni Minogue (Kylie’s little sister) who handed Tina the flowers at the end. Tina was 15 years old here. We were surprised at her choice of MacArthur Park…until she left our collective jaws on the ground by the end of that performance. She said to Australia (who had been watching her on Young Talent Time since she was 7 years old): buckle up world, because I fully intend to be a force to be reckoned with…and she wasn’t wrong!
Tina Arena was a kid here. It was just before she turned 16. What a voice. She could belt it out when she was 6. Her farewell to YTT was in October 1983.
Marcia Hines is considered Australia's queen of disco, which is ironic considering when she grew up in Boston, she was friends with Linda Gaines who is Donna Summer's sister, and many consider Donna to be the Queen of disco.
Tina was too young at the time of disco to hold that crown, as was Kylie.
Young Talent Time.... best show of my youth!! Reunion show was fab and brought back so many memories from those times.
As a child in the 70s we would watch the Young Talent Time Team every Sunday at 6.30 pm. So many future stats came from this.
I remember balling my eyes out watching this episode. She was my absolute idol growing up. I think I was about 8 when she left.. young talent time was never the same for me after this. She inspired me to sing. 💕💕
Awww baby Tina... she was awesome even back then.... cheers to whomever suggested this one ! Looked like the little girl giving Tina the flowers was a very young Danni Minogue (Kylies sister)...
Tina Arena was on Young Talent Time, it was 1982 when she had her final performance on the show. Tina was 16 years old. She was a Team Member on “YTT” for over 7 years. If you look up “Young Talent Time” you will find many performances of Tina throughout the years.
To think she was only 15 and singing with such depth and control! No wonder she went on to become such an amazing international artist!💕
She was my favourite young talent time member.
Richard Harris sang this first I think.🤔😃 I absolutely loved it❤️
As a kid growing up my sister loved Donna summer, I remember the album called on the radio always being played, my other sister loved the beach boys, I loved led zeppelin , my brother was into lots of heavy bands, we had a very mixed music house !!!
Johnny Young was an important part of our music industry both as a song writer and for fostering new talent.
Back in the Disco days Olivia Newton John with Xanadu was probably the most well known Disco Queen but Kylie Minogue always puts a Disco spin on something live, and has released an actual Disco album. In Australia no one could compare to The BeeGee’s anyway.
YTT was my favourite show growing up and I remember crying watching this episode because I loved Tina so much, always a drama queen here 🙋♀️
... also Marcia Hines
Young Talent Time was an Australian tv program hosted by Johnny Young where young children were taught how to sing and perform. Tina Arena was by far the most successful to come out of this show.
Disco was 70’s and for my vote it would’ve been Marcia Hines as the queen down here. YTT performed disco but given they were kids at the time, performing covers, I don’t see any of them reaching queen status 😏.
By the time they were in solo careers, disco was gone and pop was in.
Wow I habpve never heard her sing MacArthur Park.. how awesome!
The Australian artists who contributed most to the disco era were the Bee Gees. Olivia Newton John also put out some disco flavoured tracks like “Let’s Get Physical”. I love your enthusiasm for Tina Arena. A recent song of hers that I love is “You Set Fire To My Life”. Good video too. When are you going to turn your attention on Australian artists to the work of Darren Hayes and Savage Garden?
Young talent time was the Australian equivalent to the American Mickey Mouse club. It’s also where Kylie Minogue and her sister Danni both started their careers
Kylie never a YTTmember just a guest performer
Love her
Have you heard Tina sing 'Whistle Down the Wind' ? She did it live...incredible.
I remember this. My family taped this episode and I used to watch the video back all of the time. My Mum also used to take me to see YTT at the 10 studios and I always was sad I never saw Tina because she was my idol. But I did see Dannii so it wasn’t all bad, I love them both so much.
Thank you for bringing this memory back for me…
Goddamn I love Tina, just so incredible, beautiful and talented for such a long, long time. I really, really hope she gets even more worldwide recognition, cos she's just a killer singer, like a female version of John Farnham.. Luv ya girl!!!
Wow. I actually remember watching this episode when Tina left Young Talent Time. Look at little Dani Minogue next to Tina. Wow 1983? Hard to believe
Arena starred on Young Talent Time from 1976 to 1983-making her the show's longest-serving cast member. Arena completed her Higher School Certificate (final year of secondary school) and was hired as an insurance clerk; however, she resigned after three months to pursue a music career.
Marcia Hines along with Olivia Newton John are equal disco queens :D xx
Ahhh gotchu
This might be my favorite vocal by Tina so far.
Omg i use to watch this show every week as a kid lol
This was in the 70's, we all watched tiny little Tina grow up. She always had an amazing voice😊🌏🪐🌕🙏🇦🇺👣👣🌞🦋🏡💗💗💗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Nick, this is the one I requested this back in December!
If we are talking about the 1980s - 90s era, the Australian disco queen is Kylie Minogue which equals to USA's Madonna, Tina Arena is Australia's counterpart to Canada's Celine Dion.
I always watched it as a kid and wanted to be on it!!
Queen of ‘disco’ in Australia was definitely Marcia Hines but it was called ‘Queen of Pop’ back in the day in Oz.
Beating up your lights!! 🤣😂😂
I get it! She’s that amazing! 🔥
During the 70s the Queens of Disco would have been Marcia Hynes or Olivia Newton John. Today it would be Kylie Minogue.
Marcia Hines without doubt was the queen of pop in Aus
McArthur park was originally by Richard Harris(I think) in 1968 and the best version ever
