It was Tina Arena who sang the Australian National Anthem at the ceremony for Cadel Evans on Sunday. There is a story here
Tina – who much to my son Lenny’s horror – has always been one of my favourite singers – now lives in Paris and is indeed very popular there.
And Tina when she was a little bit younger
Fabulous - thanks for hunting out that info.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this, I missed it on tv. What a brilliant race and such a worthy winner! Amazing, thanks again x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Australia!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I had ever heard your National Anthem; it's lovely.
tina arena. ughhh. almost ruined the moment.
ReplyDeleteNow, I did wonder at the national anthem, as if it were a win at the Olympics. Great story.
ReplyDeletenzm: I just had to know - and should have known at the time.
ReplyDeleteBeck; My pleasure
smedette: I shall sing it again for you when we meet.
lenny: I will like to hear Dave and Coral Snakes version but still.
Merricks: A moment for the history books indeed.
Young Tina - WOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Badger. I've always thought Tina has a great voice too!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Lenny has always held a torch for her, but can't admit it to his mates?? You must have heard the saying about doth protesting too much, methinks? ;~))))))
oh well mate good taste isn't everything....could be worse could be amy winehouse or kylie minogue.
