@nice80sboy I agree, apparently, the only IOC Member missing from these games was Afghanistan, and the only reason that was was because of.... War. So whenever there's another war, show them this!
My God!!! I love the Olympic Games, especially the openings :) It's sooo emotional...why can't the world live in peace and freedom?? If we take a look at those international ceremonies where all nations come together, it's a big shame that we can't live like that in every day of our live :(
I remember the NBC commentators saying that Nikki's parents had no idea that she was performing at the Olympic opening ceremonies...it was a total surprise when they turned on the TV and there she was. I don't remember exactly how they arranged it, but apparently they worked out the details pretty well! ;)
Sydney undoutdedly delivered the best, most joyous olympics ever. It revitalised a somewhat tired sporting format and relaunched it with a carefree youthful exhuberence, which really came across on TV. A brave girl to be raised to the top of the stadium on a thin pole in high winds. After the computer glitches which beset the cauldron lighting I'd have been demanding danger money!
i was teary-eyed watching the children of atlanta sing the power of the dream in the 1996 atlanta games. this one was no different. :') i love the olympic games.
This was the most memorable part of any closing ceremony I can remember.....listen to her words people of the world.....despite all of our differences, backgrounds, ethnicity, culture, and religion.....the fact is WE ARE ONE.
soy de PERU fueron los mejores juegos olimpicos los mas bonitos los mas odenados (sidney) the best games of my life saludos desde lima PERU- south america
10 years ago, I received 'her' Christmas Greetings. Sydney Olympics 2000 had concluded and i used to listen to Niki Webter's song which i recorded using stereo recorder. But something strange was to happen in that december. I received greetings from my childhood friend who moved to Australia when we were in Kindergarten. I lost a part of d envelope and lost her address. I am 23 now. I miss her a lot. She lives in Adelaide.
I like her here and when she brought out her first album and second album. Now of course I like her but not her music. She really needs to work on her voice, cus it was nice to begin with and now it's horrible sadly.
she is lip-synching because of the factors of the stadium but she's lip-synching to her own voice recording, they haven't voice-raped her with technology, she did sing exactly like that, it just wasn't live. And because that is her genuine voice, I think it's amazing.
this song makes me cry so much but its ironical because the song hopes that this day will bring peace to all but the world will never be in piece remind you september 11 happened a year after this
wow i remember watching this at home when i was 6 in 2000. Damn feels like yesterday i watching the closing ceremonies. Fav ceremonies of all time. =)
I noticed that toward the end of the song, the cauldron flame was a lot smaller, and I think it was extinguished right after she sang. Was it intentional for the flame to go down little by little?
@NEUDude notice the olympic flag being carried out of the telstra stadium? that meant the games was over, so the cauldron was extinguished afterwards... it was intentional...
I remember when i was a lil girl she was my fave singer my and my bestie saw her in Wizard of oz and her concert! they where good times but she went down hill! CMON NIKKI GET BACK UP AND BE THE GIRL U USED TO BE PLZ FOR UR FANS SAKE!
From a sound engineer point of view there is NO WAY she was NOT lip-syncing. It's technically impossible in a stadium environment with so many uncontrollable factors. Especially the wind up at her height. It would cause her mic to hiss like crazy.
This should put to this subject to rest. She is lip-syncing. Anyone who says otherwise does not know what they are talking about.
agreed. of course she is, but isn't the performance and song so magical it doesn't matter! You're completely right, the factors at a stadium of that size and her on that elevation would be technically impossible, I still love this performance. On par with her Opening Ceremony one which was also synced but beautiful!
@gottamatch I love this song too. Like I stated in another post, I have not problem with Lip-syncing as long as it's the original voice and not too post-processed. I cite Hilary Duff as and example, known for her overtly processed Techno-pop music/voice (disgusting).
Also that girl hoax singing at the Beijing Olympics. Not that it's the kid's fault. Prejudice Chinese organizers.
of course she is. Everybody at the Olympics HAD to lip-sync. Savage Garden were angry because they never lip-sync but for them to "perform" it was required they lip-sync.
Her voice is live for sure and it's wonderful. What a great performance. It makes me feel chills to see this little girl sing like that on the top of the platform. So beautiful!
i doubt she was lip syncing... imagine all those auditions she had to take... would the people who organised this have put Australia to shame by asking her to lip sync? i think not.... It was definitely live in my opinion.
i think theres chance shes lip synching that night cuz if it was just her singing live not the whole audience could hear i think its a recording but its definately her singing so like a backing vocal copy of her singing the song.
I get goosebumps on my arms and feel tears in my eyes whenever I hear this video clip because of the innocence and hope of the lyrics of what reality is like today. Beautiful song. I love this! (Iv got a bank of tears about to burst!)
@fabbitypo we can just sing and dance about how we want the world to be, we have to actually get out there and do something, civil wars in places far from this type of media need our help more than our hope.
@fabbitypo So true. But after knowing that Bin Laden is dead and gone, the world has finally shed that dark cloud it has been under. Let's hope peace can now flurish again. Justice has been done. Peace to all mankind!
Why did the organizer place her on the pedestal and dressed her like going to Ms Universe pageant? She was 100X sweeter walking around singing in her short skirt during the opening ceremony.
she may have lip-synced on the night but it was definately her singing.. the actual story was that nikki was the understudy of this part and the original 'little girl' fell sick before the performance so nikki had to take over
my school is one of the greek schools in sydney and they chose some students from each of the 3 greek school to be in the choir :) we sang the national anthems and this song haha
i've met her - she is really shy - or she used to be anyway
did anyone know that john farnham was actually meant to sing it?? yeah, he was supposed to have a marching band and everything - but he was being a pain so they decided to get a child instead ..
Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history.
it was a big thing, from like 23489235 girls down to her after people getting dropped and stuff.
my friend was in the final 3 with her, but the flying down from the top of the building scared her so she pulled out and then it was nikki and the other girl. and the other girl wasnt as good or something.
OMG OMG Nikki is sooo brave! i would freak out 4 2 reasons: the audience and the height omfg i would literally lose my voice and completly forget the lyrics way to go Nikki!
When will the world become a peaceful and unified global village? When will people do what they sing? 1988 Soul,"Hand in Hand", has that come true? 2000 Sydney,"We'll Be One", have we? 2004 Athens,"Pass the flame, unite the world", the flame had been passed, but is the world united? 2008 Beijing,"we are family", are we family?
I totally agree with you. Everyone needs to put everything aside and become one. We need to respect everyones beliefs. We need to become one big family like God would want us to. (my belief so if you believe in this song you wouldn't bag me about that)
Harmony is what the world needs. Make Poverty History! The world would be much fairer and a much nicer place to live without war and racism and stuff like that
Don't worry at all. I am not a Christian yet I do believe there must be a "thing" which is motivating the whole world - could be god or anything.
Anyway, what I feel bad about is the contrast between what people are wishing and what the reality is - think about Russia and Georgia, think about the War in Iraq.
No Nikki Webster stopped singing because of the critising she got from older people, she was loved by many children like me when I was 11, she just didn't want anymore critsing..
I mean she didn't sing songs for grown ups she did it for the children and also for when she was a child.. So i dont know why many people hate her.. Shes grown up shes 21 now... Just get over it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
today webster is a no-talent nobody, making money by baring her boobs for glossy mens magazines....like everything touched by olympic fame...2 weeks of glory then a lifetime of misery.
No. She is a no-talent nobody now. She was popular here for a year max. Now she is exactly what dioclese said. She was a great singer and could of been a star. But she gave it away. She is terrible now
not since her zoo video shoot for the zoo magazine and fhm. The way she was dressed was discussting. Noone likes her becuase of that. I am a australian and there are people who stil like her but not many after what she did.
i have heard this song only once on the telecast of the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and i have love it since then... after 8 years, i finally found this song... :)
I'm hungarian, and I'm too young, to compare this song with another olimpics. But I bet, Nikki was the mosdt beautisul olimpic singer, and the best as well. Here on YouTube, I saw the Atlanta Closing, and on TV is saw the Peking Opening and the Athens Opening, but they couldn't reach Nikki. (I think, the chinese language counts:))
Funny how at every olympic ceremony, we're having children perform a lyrical song...i think it attracts the world-wide viewers. Atlanta did it, Sydney did it, Athens did it, Beijing did it...without a doubt, we'll see the same in London, 2012! Well done though to Nikki...she aced it! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...Oi! Oi! Oi! x
I remember i HAD that dress! the chior that was singing was from my school. I MISS the year 2000 SO MUCH! The best time of my childhood by farr! Nothing will ever beat Sydney 2000 not even Athens 2004 (btw im greek so this coming from one is crazy)
After the olympics i officially became a fan of Nikki..
She couldnt, she was adhibited there. She could fell off ;).But anyway, if it would be me, nobody could get me up there and make me sing! This song and Nikki at this age rules!
I remember watching this when I saw 10 and how much I wanted that dress. Between this and the opening ceremonies I wonder if she now has a fear of heights :)

When will the world become a peaceful and unified global village? When will people do what they sing? 1988 Soul,"Hand in Hand", has that come true? 2000 Sydney,"We'll Be One", have we? 2004 Athens,"Pass the flame, unite the world", the flame had been passed, but is the world united? 2008 Beijing,"we are family", are we family?

I totally agree with you. Everyone needs to put everything aside and become one. We need to respect everyones beliefs. We need to become one big family like God would want us to. (my belief so if you believe in this song you wouldn't bag me about that)
Harmony is what the world needs. Make Poverty History! The world would be much fairer and a much nicer place to live without war and racism and stuff like that

Don't worry at all. I am not a Christian yet I do believe there must be a "thing" which is motivating the whole world - could be god or anything.
Anyway, what I feel bad about is the contrast between what people are wishing and what the reality is - think about Russia and Georgia, think about the War in Iraq.

No Nikki Webster stopped singing because of the critising she got from older people, she was loved by many children like me when I was 11, she just didn't want anymore critsing..
I mean she didn't sing songs for grown ups she did it for the children and also for when she was a child.. So i dont know why many people hate her.. Shes grown up shes 21 now... Just get over it.

I thought that Nikki still be a singer?
and australian people love her?
blaufosctatsh 3 years ago
No. She is a no-talent nobody now. She was popular here for a year max. Now she is exactly what dioclese said. She was a great singer and could of been a star. But she gave it away. She is terrible now
footyboy64 3 years ago 2

blaufosctatsh 3 years ago

I'm hungarian, and I'm too young, to compare this song with another olimpics. But I bet, Nikki was the mosdt beautisul olimpic singer, and the best as well. Here on YouTube, I saw the Atlanta Closing, and on TV is saw the Peking Opening and the Athens Opening, but they couldn't reach Nikki. (I think, the chinese language counts:))
gaabriel1987 3 years ago
Funny how at every olympic ceremony, we're having children perform a lyrical song...i think it attracts the world-wide viewers. Atlanta did it, Sydney did it, Athens did it, Beijing did it...without a doubt, we'll see the same in London, 2012! Well done though to Nikki...she aced it! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...Oi! Oi! Oi! x

She couldnt, she was adhibited there. She could fell off ;).But anyway, if it would be me, nobody could get me up there and make me sing! This song and Nikki at this age rules!

I remember watching this when I saw 10 and how much I wanted that dress. Between this and the opening ceremonies I wonder if she now has a fear of heights :)
