I Am Woman Tribute to Helen Reddy | 2020 ARIA Awards | Reaction

[@t.lucalake8963]

The LEGENDARY Helen Reddy (R I P), was still able to sing this CLASSIC song, in the same key as the original, well into her 70's.

[@donnachatterton1639]

Helen Reddy died in September, 2020, aged 78. She had a string of hits over the years in Australia and America where she resided for many years. I am Woman was probably her biggest hit. It was released in 1972 and here we are, 50 years later and the song still resonates with women everywhere. Another great anthem!

[@1lighthorse]

Co-written by a man lol, Ray Burton, another Aussie. He also co-wrote "Best Friend" with her that she sang for the movie "Airport 1975". She also had a variety show on U.S. TV.

[@carolcarol3938]

A bunch of great Aussie sheilas! RIP Helen

[@anthonypirera7598]

Wow thanks for that they all of them are unbelievable Wow

[@wickdwitchowest]

The fact you picked Marcia from a profile and her voice has cemented your 'Aussie' citizenship.

[@ButtonPhonics]

Helen Reddy was the world's biggest recording female star in 1971/72 (English Language) and had her own tv show in the US. AUstralia's first US music STAR. An icon you should check out - a movie of her life was released last year I AM WOMAN You'd love it and be surprised. Miss dear Helen. Delta Dawn another big hit. Love your reactions. Sending my best to you.

[@littleflick]

On stage in order of performance Jess Mauboy, Amy Shark, Marcia Hines, Tones and I, Kate Cebrano, Montaigne, The McLymonts, Delta Goodrem, Christine Anu, Emma Watkins from The Wiggles. On the screens Dami Im, Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke and I’m certain there are others. This was performed at the Aria Awards (Kind of like Australia’s Grammys) in 2020, so it was during covid, hence only a small number of the actual performers appeared there in person. It was a tribute to Helen Reddy who died earlier that year.

[@littleflick]

One thing I love is that they are all dressed in their own style. Amy Shark and Tones and I are very casual. Marcia, Delta, Jess etc are all glammed up. Montaigne in some Avant Garde number with a crown and blue velvet gloves, Emma dressed like a Disney princess, The McLymonts in like country glam. Love it 🥰

From there, artists including Jessica Mauboy, Amy Shark, Tones And I, Christine Anu, Delta Goodram, Marcia Hines, Montaigne, The McClymonths. Kate Ceberano and Emma Watkins came together to recreate the song. They were joined by a choir of 30 singers from across Australia.

You can't compare to Helen Reddy. Listen to her if you want to hear something special. Absolute legend!

[@rebeccaaustin3247]

The second woman who sang is Amy Shark and I can't believe that you haven't been introduced to her yet, she has one of my favourite voices

[@leandabee]

She is Tones and I 👌. Look at Marcia rocking that mini dress 💞💞. I recently watched the Helen Reddy movie and she wrote that song after being in the US for awhile. The powers that be kept telling her she couldn't have it all. Helen really struggled over there, but hey, she fought and won 👏👏👏🥰

[@FionaEm]

Yes, Helen died in 2020. She was born in Australia but went to the US in the 60s to find fame and fortune - which she did. I Am Woman was her biggest hit, and even these days, it's something of an anthem for women of all ages.

[@jgsheehan8810]

they did a great tribute, you can tell how much this meant to them. You should look up Helen Reddy, (i think she may have been the first Aussie to get a US no.1? if not she was close.) and do the original version and Delta Dawn.

[@westy4973]

Perfect from all those Aussie killers! 👏🏼

[@carmelmcshanag8144]

This was done after Helen's passing. She was one of the first Aussies to find success in the US. The "Frozen Disney Princess" as you put it is Emma Watkins, from the Wiggles. Kate Ceberano is another one in there that you know. 😊 The trio are an Aussie country group of sisters known as The McClymonts. 👌

[@hollygranger3734]

The Frozen Disney Princess comment had me laughing because he’s pretty spot on! Go Emma 💛

[@cherylsims5636]

Hi, Helen Reddy was worlds most popular female singer in the 70s. In interviews she said so got inspirations for the lyrics from dreams. Helen initially wanted to be a nun until she found out nuns couldnt wear lipstick (OK) Her whole familys were entertainers so to her this was just work. Helen was an expert in Hypnosis. She past. Play more of her songs I like all of them..

[@justlinsu]

[@artistjoh]

The depth in Australian music is amazing. Sure there are the big stars, but go to a theater production, as I did today, and I discovered a sensational voice from someone I had never heard of before. The production was set in the Depression era and the music had a strong gospel feel to much of it. Bob Dylan wrote the music, but it was the cast that set the music on fire.

[@jemcee97]

Helen Reddy was my mum's second cousin (I don't really know what relation that makes her to me haha) but she would bore us as kids with her pride and constantly talking about Helen Reddy and making sure we knew we were related to her haha, but I never really looked into her career or anything like that until a few months before and after her death and I now have that same (strange) pride my mother has haha.. And I'm never prouder than when I realise how important that song has been and still is to women and all the breaking ground she did.. She was a badarse in every way!

@ThatSingerReactions 5:22 "Not the 'Frozen Disney Princess, but respect to her!" lol That's, till recently, "The Yellow Wiggle" from the children's music and entertainment group and global phenomenon from Australia, that is: "The Wiggles"! Many young children and their parents of the world since the 90s and especially 00s will be well familiar, atleast with them and especially their 'Big Red Car' and that Dinosaur who goes by the name, "Dorothy" - BTW After Delta @ 4:33 Apparently that's the Aussie legend that is Christina Anu - I'm SURE an Aussie has requested for you to check her out and would be very surprised if not - especially her mega-hit here from late 90s, her cover of 'My Island Home' - which interestingly, I see you have JUST reacted to the original version, from Warumpi Band, 2 days ago! Her version still gets heaps of airplay here, everybody knows it thanks to her cover. Here's Christina Anu performing the song at the Sydney 2000 Olympics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOrq6SHidKNnNk and this the music video of the track, back from 1995!

Helen Reddy paved the way for all of these artists but when she did the song it actually meant something historically and culturally, I don't think that most of these artists had a clue about the importance or relevance of the song when it was released in 1971. They were all just trying to showcase their singing skills and not the message. Helen's performance is so much better. A live version here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOUgJWFoZx3jNk

[@coreenavenn4235]

Spot on. Marcia Hines is probably the only one who was old enough at the time of its initial release. She had arrived in Oz in 69. I Am Woman was 1971. Helen being the first Ozzy to win a Grammy for this song was big news then. I'd happily listen to Marcia do this on her own.

Yes, Helen Reddy has definitely passed away. She had quite a few hit records in the 1970's, the biggest being the hit single called I Am Woman. It became the anthem for the Women's Rights Movement in the early 1970's. You still haven't properly heard the song unless you hear the original by Helen Reddy herself!
