Any proud Australians here?!

[@torsionjimify]

They were incredible and such honorable men. This canadian shed a tear or 2

[@nigelfelangue2295]

Yes !

[@sherriandranigian8998]

I'm not Australian. My heart is full from the two Honorable Australian Gentlemen. May Peace be upon us all.

[@gerardroll6468]

ABSOLUTELY!!! 🇦🇺✊😌🇦🇺. I was born & raised here & one day, will be laid to rest here. This was a stunning performance, especially because of the effect it had on Jess, who recognised the guys instantly when she turned her chair 👍😄🇦🇺

[@mritsme9901]

Absolutely. Proud one here! From Wollongong NSW!

[@baileywithab9863]

As an Australian, I can tell you that many of us desperately want "I am Australian" to be our national anthem - and we have for a long time. Just like this crowd, when the song comes on, we all can't help but sing along. You can see the reverence we hold for the song when the crowd and coaches join in. It's beautiful, and wholly Australian 🇦🇺💕

[@trevordawe6673]

Absolutely 💯 %

[@michaelmcgrath3967]

Well said…

[@lauraclaire]

I agree strongly also as an Australian that I am Australian is a much better national Anthem.

[@kbob1158]

Perhaps after you have removed from office the bugs, serpents and slime that festers in your government, "I am an Australian" will truly and naturally become your anthem. Onward and upward.

[@357HFC]

I agree, except that when sung we should a verse/ chorus in our local Indigenous language.

[@quiet_eclipse60]

They helped Jess when she was young and graciously stepped aside to give another young artist a chance. True Australians

[@ssz2005]

Dobe and Rodger are legends With Tommy Emmanuel The Bushwackers were brilliant !

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie3]

I'm not Australian, nor have I ever heard that song. But this video really touched me. It isn't always about a perfect voice; sometimes storytelling takes over. This was excellent songwriting and storytelling. These lovely gentlemen were so sweet. They were more concerned about the future of other talent than stroking their own egos. What a class act.❤❤ God bless our cousins in the AU, with love from Oregon, USA. ❤🙏🇦🇺

[@tenfoldsupplyco5041]

❤

[@eggy4152]

The seekers with Judith Durham, does an amazing version of this song as well.👋💕🇦🇺

[@suemoore984]

Please, please check out the Seekers version, in fact any of their versions. You will enjoy!

[@michaelversace456]

The Seekers were an Australian band globally famous in the 50s and 60s. Rather big in the states. Were made famous in the states. Judith Durham unfortunately is no longer with us. Please check out the seekers

[@elysemckenzie3334]

Can we make this the anthem already? It includes everyone, makes us emotional and proud.

[@AnoJanJan]

They don't make them like The Bushwhackers any more... true Aussie spirit!

[@stuartferguson7947]

That should be the Australian National Anthem - it just gets everyone’s emotions into overdrive, it would be the best National Anthem on this planet

[@jennyhenningham4100]

Beats our present dirge hands down.

[@nabbichilcott9541]

Not going to lie, comepared to a few other world anthems, ours is the one that seems like it has a pole up its ...... @@jennyhenningham4100

[@geoffroberts1126]

If you want to be elected, promise to make THIS the National Anthem and you'll win by a landslide.

[@jakerodriguez6552]

thats because it is there national anthem or is it?

[@jennyhenningham4100]

@@jakerodriguez6552Australians were given a rigged vote to select our current national anthem. This is not the one foisted on us. If there was a free choice vote "I am Australian" would likely win hands down.

[@michaelversace456]

To anyone wondering, they've been and done things musician's can only dream of. They only needed to know they still have it.

[@mikeholton3914]

they got it!!!! the got it!!!

[@BhashithaHettigoda]

I'm not from Australia, but I lived there for four years during my early twenties. This amazing country shaped me into who I am today and taught me to be independent and face the world head-on. I'll definitely go back to visit and give back to the community because it has a special place in my heart. Aussies are absolutely amazing people, chill, funny, and good blokes inside out!

[@ProudAussie23]

I am 67 but I would happily take that as our national anthem.

[@thomasmelton699]

Now that's something you'll never see again! When they stepped aside so that the next generation could achieve the next step in their journey. Pure class 👏

[@SavvyGardenGal]

Their song and singing gave me goosebumps. Felt like he was singing for all Earth. Wow! Im Canadian, so far, and so close.!

[@daviddempsey8721]

The song could be for all… And Aussies are welcoming of all who are here to look after each other, and for a fair deal. Canadians seem to me to be closest cousins as a country full of generous and congenial people.

[@lucimitchell7273]

The first time I heard this, I instantly thought that these guys are australias equivalent of stan Rogers!

[@forsland6153]

Its not the colour of your skin, its the flavour within. We are one. no matter where we come from or what we look like. Be kind to eachother, help a brother out, help a sister out. We are one 💗💙💚💛💜

[@Tom-nc5qv]

Any Aussie that hears this song and isn't overcome by pride isn't really a true Aussie

[@cindynewman902]

So grateful I saw this, so moving. So humble and kind these gentlemen are. R E S P E C T

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

I'm from Germany and I really enjoyed them on the show. It was sad to see them leave but also an honorable gesture. Wish you all the best 🍀

[@Roland2665]

As an American, I find this song to be fantastic. It's such a positive song, and it's like a mini history of Australia. I could easily see this as a national anthem.

[@jodrakeley8568]

I am not Australian but wow I can't stop crying that song is stirring!!!! WOW!

[@backacheache]

This shows the power folk music can have

[@Amaces1]

Absolute gentlemen, and a truly honourable gesture.

[@rubymh1808]

Wonderful. And yes, primary school in Australia in the 90s meant endless rounds of Heel and Toe 😂❤

[@jacksparrow-yd4ei]

As proud australian i tear up everytime i hear this song. This song with its music and lyrics encompasses what it means to be truely australian regardless of our individual enthic backgrounds.

[@cindynewman902]

Jess is always so genuine.

[@mariaprgich]

Breath of fresh Air from our legends never forgotten but always remembered❤️Thankyou for the most melodic and moving anthem.Every word of it has a place .You both still Rock so keep on singing and don’t stop singing you are our Ozzie eternal stats ❤️

[@amandael9842]

Wow, wow, wow! This brought me to tears. Such a proud moment for them and Jessica. We Australians all know & love this song and have been singing it at every occasion since it was written. Whether they make it our anthem officially or not we have made it our 'real' anthem anyway.😊

[@jenniferharrison8915]

That song should be played every day in schools, offices, parliament, etc - we must never forget what an incredible country Australia really is and who we are together! 🙋👍🇦🇺

[@lockieharris2005]

Real Aussie's Real men we are Australian 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@enchantro]

I can only watch clips from this show on KZbin and now I wanna be Australian!! I’m all emotional over this clip!🥰🇦🇺🥰

[@denisehodges6242]

I love this song It brings me to tears every time I hear it, joyful loving tears. To me, this is about all of us, from our first peoples, to us all today. Magic, full of feelings and love for our shared humanity ❤

[@charlesappleget4657]

I'm not an Australian. This tune makes me wish I was. There's so much emotion in it, and Guy's story made it more so.

[@user-ld6sy7jc7p]

Never heard this song. American here balling my freaking eyes out. Well done Aussies well done.

[@nabbichilcott9541]

This here should be our national anthem.

This is one of the most beautiful moments from The Voice, any....Voice. Hard to type with wet eyes. 😊❤

[@sgt.bunbun1369]

Cowboys of America and Australian people are absolutely family! Tell them the truth in music!

[@messyatbestx]

I’ve watched this audition probably 20 times, I’ve never felt such a community in singing before. It’s so wonderful to see. -love from the UK x

[@sherryleggett1612]

I am a proud Canadian but every time I hear that wonderful song I get goose bumps and wish I was Australian.

[@shauncronin3961]

Why can I not stop watching this? I’m not Australian

[@dragonflyinn100]

This should be national anthem

[@Lawton008]

I'm not even Australian but I think Dobe Newton is my new favourite person. What a truly special man he is.

[@johnheffernan7975]

As an Aussie we NEED this as our anthem. It represents every single Australian from first nations people to those immigrating here from abroad to those born in Australia

[@christopherturco197]

I'm not Aussie, but, when I heard this song for the first time while watching this video, I thought it would make for such an awesome national anthem. I don't know the background on why "Waltzing Matilda" was chosen as the Australian national anthem, but in spite of the sentimental value and history, "I Am Australian" should be selected to replace it. It's a song that I think evokes pride in being Australian and is an incredibly unifying song. Good on ya mates! I hope it happens.

[@chloefalla3716]

@@christopherturco197 waltzing matilda isnt our anthem, advance australia fair is. But I am Australian would be far better

[@debstacey4785]

Does anyone else want to hear Guy sing this song and make a single. His voice is phenomenal in the bit he sang along with ❤

[@angemaidment5640]

No. It doesn’t suit the way he sings, and he shouldn’t make it sound like all his other stuff.

[@kateturner9258]

I heard him singing and thought the same thing. Can someone capture just Guy on the track!

[@m.l.b.2908]

I'm not even Australian and this song always makes me emotional. It's just so aspirational and it's beautiful in every regard.

Wholesome af. Aussies in general

[@greybirdo]

How nice was it to hear Jess’ bell-like voice on the final chorus. The old and the new in Australian popular music, contrasting with the new and old Australians who are the subject of the song. Not a bad moment at all, and it would be lovely if Jess did a version with the boys.

[@route6295]

Allways remember beautifull Judith ❤

[@daveharris9699]

This was our coach song when i toured Australia 25 years ago. We were from all over the world, I'm English, but we all sang it every morning

[@arthurwhite4590]

What great video. It must make every Australian so proud.

[@jagc34]

Without being Australian i have to say that i am proud to see how Australian are proud of their own. Unfortunately i can't say the same about us, the spanish people, and that's a shame.

Don’t forget about Enrico Iglesias and Plasido Domingo 😊

[@leasakaitoa7421]

Hey mate, If you love your country (not the politics, but your home) then sing it proud my friend. That’s how you keep your country great, by having pride and hope and wanting nothing but the best for everyone who lives there. Be proud my friend, it’s your home. ❤from Australia 🇦🇺

Total respect.

[@valeriegiles6524]

Not many people know that Australia was originally created as a pinal colony. The orginal inhabitants were sent there to die. This song really personafies the human spirit/soul & the Hearts of these amazing people. Their resilience, courage, fortitude & compassion for each other made them who they are today. An outstanding achievement & something to be very proud of. ❤

[@SpawnMeister666]

Apparently not everyone knows yet that the original inhabitants of Australia were NOT sent there as prisoners of a penal colony and left to die. The land had been populated for at least 65,000 years, whereas the penal colony wasn't created until 1788...

[@Hunny1au]

@@SpawnMeister666 In my lifetime it started out as 40,000 years they inhabited, and in a few short years it has jumped to 65000 years. It changed by 25000 years in a 20 year period! They need to make up their minds. Keeps changing which is obviously not fully accurate.
