AUSTRALIAN LEGENDS make the coaches EMOTIONAL with their Blind Audition | Journey

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

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!

[@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. ❤🙏🇦🇺

[@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 🇦🇺💕

[@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.

I definitely respect their choice-but it would have been fun to see how far they could have gone; wish there was some kind of wild card that would have let them stay in.

[@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!

[@elgenetiamzon1062]

Someone adapted this song and made it to reflect a more Canadian perspective.

[@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!

[@stuartferguson7947]

[@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.

[@elysemckenzie3334]

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

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie3]

Do they do petitions in Australia? Maybe you could start a petition drive. Judging from the comments, everybody would sign - literally 99.9%. Then deliver it to Parliament, or whatever your equivalent is to our Congress. Anyway, it's just a suggestion to think about.

[@SonGoku-tz9vt]

As someone not from Australia, wasn't Waltzing Mathilda also a song you wish was your anthem? So which one is it haha

[@Cold_1995]

​@SonGoku-tz9vt Acting like everyone from Austrailia wants the same

[@2themoon863]

@@SonGoku-tz9vt I remember that came up in the U.S. coverage of the 2000 Olympics; as I recall there were four choices but only remember three: God Save the Queen, Advance Australia Fair (which won), Waltzing Matilda, and one other-and it was put to a national vote…

[@simonhj]

​@@SonGoku-tz9vtThe Government did a public opinion poll in 1974 asking the population to vote on three songs Advance Australia Fair (the winner and the most appropriate), Waltzing Matilda (the runner-up - a bush ballad by the famous poet Banjo Paterson - we love it, and while it's a very Australian story, it's not about Australia as a nation and therefore wasn't really appropriate), and The Song of Australia (written by a German, and it's sounds like it). I Am Australian wasn't written until 1987. A more popular cover version from 1997 was used by the Australian republican movement in its campaign for an Australian Republic, and it has since been used at the Sydney Olympics and other sporting events and is taught in primary schools. So, it's popularity didn't really take off until the early 2000s, and since then there have been more calls to change national anthem because our current one doesn't acknowledge our First Nation's peoples.

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.

Jess is always so genuine.

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.

An outstanding achievement & something to be very proud of. ❤

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...
