It was Tina




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

  5. Now, I did wonder at the national anthem, as if it were a win at the Olympics. Great story.

  7. I'm with you Badger. I've always thought Tina has a great voice too!
    Perhaps 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? ;~))))))
