She's very restrained and controlled in this, if she let's go and gets into it she has an amazing amount of power and clarity for such a small lady, such a beautiful voice she has.

[@Macrogue65]

Couldn't agree more. She has a BELT of a voice.

[@mssuziquzi]

Tina did play Eva Peron in an Australian production of Evita a few years back. She's a total professional having started her singing career at the age of nine on an Australian kids variety show. She's admired internationally, even by Celine Dion.

[@janeseemann2527]

I attended opening night in the front row in Melbourne. An absolutely sublime production of Evita and Tina was extraordinary in her role.

[@justlinsu]

Just sublime .....Thanks so much for checking out our Tina Arena....That photo of her behind you was taken a few years back when she was inducted into The Hall of Fame here in Australia. The speech she gave was amazing as she let gave it to them (the powers that be) asking why do they think it's ok to ignore women once they turn forty (💓) Then she did an amazing performance of one of 'Chains' joined by The Veronica's and Jessica Mauboy who are Aussie too. They did a knock out performance and Tina was looking so WOW. Please, please check it out for us Aussie fans of yours.

[@kayelle8005]

100% agree. Awesome performance.

[@adamwaters3425]

So happy the rest of the world is FINALLY discovering the magnificence of my two favourite singers in Tina Arena and John Farnham (who you have reviewed previously). Whilst we have many fine singers in Australia, these two in particular are just unique talents and their ability and technique is just on another level. Tina is also a great interpreter of songs and (as well as recording her own material) has released many covers. Her cover of Alice Cooper’s “Only Women Bleed” is just one example of a very long list. Like John Farnham, she is even better in a live concert performance.

[@MEA5755]

I hadn't seen this performance before. Tina Arena sings this just beautifully, giving the song the emotion it needs.

[@kingdomsupes1]

Absolutely spectacular and also extremely restrained for Tina. She has a belt that could have also done very different things with this performance. Just adore how versatile her voice is. Keep bringing out those Aussie Beth 😁

[@Jdpetrass]

Tina is an ICON. She can sing pretty much any genre and make it incredible.

Tina was a much loved cutie on Australia's Young Talent Time, with a powerful voice. It's a pleasure to see how she has perfected her amazing talent and to appreciative audiences. This performance gave me goose bumps. Bravo Tina.

[@Ozzcaddy]

Tina Arena began her career on TV at a young age of 9 on an Australian show for young kids to teenagers called Young Talent Time. Tina was the longest-serving cast member between 1974 and 1983 and was known as 'Tiny' Tina Arena and was 16 when she finished. Kylie and Danni Minogue also started their careers on Young Talent Time. Tina moved to France to further her career, learnt the French language and began singing and recording in French. But she never forgot where she came from Australia, even though she has Italian heritage. When Australian cyclist Cadel Evans won the Tour de France race, Tina hurried down to where the ceremony would take place, and instead of a recording of the Australian National Anthem being played, Tina sung the anthem live. She's made it into the ARIA Hall of Fame, sang 'The Flame’ at the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and became the first Australian to be awarded the Knighthood of the French National Order Of Merit, for her contribution to French culture. Tina is a Australia treasure and great Ambasador not just for Australia but also for women. She's now one of Australia’s most successful singer-songwriters, selling more than 10 million records worldwide.

[@gazcross3926]

Of course she's singing with perfection. She's Tina Arena. If you hadn't heard of her before that's your problem. We are so very proud of her.

[@Preview43]

Tina has always been a favorite of mine. I think "Now I Can Dance" is right up there at the top of my list.

[@lliamparslow2563]

Tina has long history in Australian Music. I think (I could be wrong) that she was with the Minogue Sisters on the Australian TV Show "Young Talent Time". "Chains" is her signature song, my favourite is "Sorrento Moon". Matt Corby does a duo with Tina and "Chains" somewhere on YT and covers it solo on Triple J's Like a version. With an Italian heritage Tina is fluent in Italian and also in French. The Australian Version of "Who Do You Think You Are" is a great episode of her families Sicilian past. Season 3 Episode 3.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Kylie Minogue was not on ytt, Dani was.

You are not wrong, tina, danni and kylie all knew each other from young talent time. Now that would be a concert. Tina does 90 mins, then kylie does 90 mins and danni can be support act. Sadly she had a few hits but never reached the success of tina or kylie

Definitely Windmills of Your Mind but not the live version which is ruined by the crowd clapping along, all out of time.

The first thing I heard Tina sing was Rockin Robin when she was 6 or 7. She had one of the most powerful voices I had ever heard. Throughout her career she has never disappointed. Brilliant performer.

[@SvendBosanvovski]

Fabulous, Beth. Its not just about voice, its also about dramatic presence, and Tina is so utterly gorgeous and emotionally committed as her voice lifts above that enormous choir you are left in no doubts about her authenticity. I'm an Aussie about the same vintage as Tina and remember her as a precocious child star. She was always going to become one of our most beloved cultural icons.

Gorgeous. Love her voice. BTW I went to the same school as her. She sang 'Somewhere' in our school production of West Side Story. It was sublime. I was in Year 7 and in the chorus, she was in year 12. We used to sneak into the back of the auditorium during her rehearsals and later during the live shows.

[@sandgroper1970]

Yes she is Australian of Italian heritage ( parents immigrated to Australia). Lived in France for many years, was married to a French citizen, performed Australian national anthem when Australian cyclist Cadel Evans won the Tour de France. She recently was featured on a program called “This is your life” . Which I actually watched via streaming and I can tell you, She real earthy, with a lot of swearing or as we would say “ she swore like a wharfie “. One story was a collaboration with an artist who had not heard of her but was recommended her, he asked her to sing this part , etc. Tina replied with I’ll give it a shot. Needless to say he was floored.

[@alyn927]

WOW!!! I have always loved her from the tiny tot she was when she joined the ‘Young Talent Time’ a children’s talent show on on tv here in Australia. I have a child about the same age and we used to watch that show together, nice memories. She was such a cute child with this amazing voice and she has grown into a stunningly beautiful woman with such poise and grace

Tina Arena is Australian's darling. Grew up singing on Aussie shows. She is Italian ( Sicillian) Australian but now resides in France with her son son ( has done for years). She has been awarded The national Award of National Merit ( highest in France equal to a knighthood) for her contribution to the Arts ( specifically her singing). She is beautifful ( wish I were younger) and 55. She is Australia's darling . She has recorded many albulms here, check out Chains Beth, you'll be stunned. She is HUGE in France and Italy also , hence the orchestra and choir. Although diminutive she's no lightweight. I sometimes question her choice of musicians ( I am a professional musician) but have had a lovely time at a meet'n'greet before her last show Downunder. THE most beautiful voice alive. Learn from her- get her albums. Also multi lingual.

Tina started singing on a show called young talent time in Australia as a child. A few years ago the local radio station was pushing for our local Melbourne Arena to be called the Tina Arena Arena. That is how well known she is in Australia.

[@ruthscrossstitchandquilts]

Tina has grown up in the music industry. She first came to Australian television screens in 1976 as a cast member of Young Talent Time hosted by Johnny Young, the show ran from 1971 to 1988 and Tina, know then as Tiny Tina Arena, was the longest serving cast member and most of Australia was sad to see here leave the show in 1983. Dani Minogue was also a cast member on Young Talent Time.

You could listen to basically _any_ song by my girl, Tina- & it would be flawless.
