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.

[@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. ❤🙏🇦🇺

[@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 👏

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 💗💙💚💛💜

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! 🙋👍🇦🇺

[@peternielsen8723]

Who's cutting onions ? I'm not even Australian. I'm not sure how this moves me so much, but surely it's a big credit to the song and the singer.

Jess is always so genuine.

[@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.😊

It wasn't so much the song that made me tear up. but the generosity of the men to give up their position and allow the "future" to move onward.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.
