This is a beautiful song. I'm gonna sing it for all my school mates and there parents @ my graduation day at the end of June this year. This song always make me cry... Wonderfull.

[UberWazuSoldier]

"I believe in the power of you and I"... After Bieber, I thought you guys would be trying to distance yourself from such awfully bland lyrics.

I will admit she can sing though.

[Waysidegirl]

@UberWazuSoldier this is before beiber you know that right?

[snowboarder1019]

@UberWazuSoldier how are thosr bland and bad?

[Muntasiful]

Even after having to take transit in Vancouver, to get to work, I miss the Olympics. There was such a feeling of unity, it was just amazing. To feel like I was a part of something....Proud to be a Vacnouverite, Proud to be Canadian!!

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

hearing this makes me proud to be a true Canadian

[VanessaSimon100]

This song really is for the olympics. Its just made for our athletes. :))

[CrewRite]

I believe in the power of pressing mute.

When I have to hear this all day in the retail workplace, I'm even more annoyed.

[ToodleandFoo]

@CrewRite

HOW CAN U SAY THAT! THIS SONG IS AMAZING AND SO POWERFUL! IT SHOWS HOW STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL OUR AMAZING COUNTRY REALLY IS! <3 ILY CANADA! <3

[CrewRite]

Some of the lyrics need work, sadly.

[XxXNightstalkerX]

@CrewRite Agreed, when the olympics where going on i heared this Over and Over and over...and over...again. its a good song though.

[CrewRite]

@XxXNightstalkerX

Meh, I still think it sucks.

[yoitsmehere]

@saskatoonsafetyguy agreed I am a true canadian

[RedPheonix6]

good song for listening to while watching the Chilean miners being lifted out for some reason

[redpinkday]

Best Olympics ever and love the theme SONG, PROUND TO BE CANADIAN

[WinterResonance]

I Believe that his song is awesome :)

[chrispen9]

great song. As a Britishman living in Canada, I feel glad to be a part of a wonderful country. I'll be able to become Canadian in 3 years!

[hallpriest9]

@chrispen9 Excuse me, "will be able to become Canadian"?

[chrispen9]

@hallpriest9 I moved over to Canada, 2-3 years ago. I have to wait for another 3 years so I can become a citizen.

[hallpriest9]

@chrispen9 What I meant was something more along the lines of "Why do you have to wait to become a Canadian citizen?".

[chrispen9]

@hallpriest9 well, I think its because you have to experience what it feels like to live in the country and get suited to the lifestyle. Then after 5 years, you'll feel Canadian.

[biebersucks4ever]

great song for the olympics!!! The Canadian team was AMAZING at home. CANADIAN hockey teams way to show who's best at the game!!

[hallpriest9]

@biebersucks4ever Not to mention Kevin Martin and his team winning the curling gold without losing a game; and Cheryl Bernard and her team losing the final, but having lost only once in the round robin; Canada was the only country to medal in both men's and women's curling.

[Demifan1689]

@biebersucks4ever This Is Why HOCKEY is CANADA GAME!! Can't wait to see who wins the Gold For the 2014 Hockey Games In Sochi!!

[shutup735]

This song brings me back to the moment when Canada owned the shit outta the states in womens and mens hockey... great moment!!!!!

[chrispen9]

@shutup735 yeah!

[EmileSabetiMehr]

I believe that hockey is the greatest game ever.

also that watching canada win both gold medals in hockey is the highlight of my life.

[shoppergirlxx]

vancouver is broke now :(

[chrispen9]

@shoppergirlxx not for long. The city's booming in my eyes.

[lowaces]

price of olypmics your grandchildren paying 25% HST

[Pottsy193]

I miss the olympics ever they much exceeded my expectations. The feeling they gave me as a Canadian will probably not be felt ever again. God bless the 2010 Olympics!!!!!!!! <3

[shutup735]

@Pottsy193

God bless Canada

And lets hope the olympics come back to Canada someday... in my life

[callofdutyfan8]

i live in vancouver!i saw luge

[Neilhabsfan]

awsome song!!! Go Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!

[S0H0TiNHERE]

This song is so beautiful... Amazing!!!!!

[Lolo4999]

This song brings back so many memories of the 2010 winter olympics. I miss them soo much, now i have nothing good to watch on TV. It was a priceless event that happend here in Vancouver. I'll never forget these games :(

[johncena001]

@Lolo4999 what are you talking about? the world cup is on.

[Lolo4999]

@johncena001 ... unlike the olympics, fifa wasnt always on. and it was always on at crappy times.

[RayDayx3]

this song rocks im not joking

[gvan14]

I always feel like crying when i hear this song. :'( i miss the olympics, im on the Canadian Hockey Mens Team. Yes you guys know i am Robi Luo!. Dont hate!!! Wooo i make 2837230468o23432oi4iooi234o623­468o46898348960349843 MIllion

[lilwarriorprincess]

@gvan14 Bullshit, Lou wouldnt say that bullshit so stop BS'in

[superjeep101]

i love her voice



[tcterencec]

INTERNET FLAME WAR YAY

[lowaces]

shes a terrible singer and those of you who like her are brainwashed slaves who probably like Celine ( my voice is a scarecrow ) Dionne

[wkozaa123]

isn't it ay? not eh? cuz eh comes from "meh" which is so so. just like take out the m and you get "eh". but if you have hay (hay is for horses) take out the H, you get ay, but not hhhhhhay... (you know the wind blowing.... ish..)???

[dusorin]

thumbs up if u like the french version better!!!!!!!!!!!!

[millie12345679]

This song makes me feel so proud to be Canadian. It's just so inspirational.

Still, I actually prefer the French version of this song.

And also, I know for a fact that I am not the only person who feels that she ruined the national anthem at the opening ceremonies. She did a terrible job - turned a proud national anthem into one of her jazz numbers.

Okay I'm done.

[edward5331]

@millie12345679 LOL the anthem was so messed up when she sang it!

[wkozaa123]

@millie12345679 it was for the f'n flag! if she sang slowly, it would be peacefully raised

[millie12345679]

@wkozaa123 I don't give a damn about the speed of the song. I was just saying that the melody was way way off. I probably would have loved her singing it if she'd stuck with the proper melody. It's our national anthem, not a jazz number.

[wkozaa123]

@millie12345679 it was for the flag! the slower the song, slower the movement! and besides, everyone there cheered for her for singing a really long and controlled note. give her credit for once!

[millie12345679]

@wkozaa123 I am not saying that I don't like that she did it slowly. Instead of singing it with the proper melody, she threw in all these little fills. I like the anthem fast or slow, and I admit she has an incredible voice. But when she sang the anthem, her voice went up and down in all the wrong spots, and at some points it didn't even sound like "Oh Canada".

[wkozaa123]

@millie12345679 she was told to sing slowly! it's not her fault. get some common sense. 

[millie12345679]

@wkozaa123 for the last time - I don't hate the speed of the song.

I hated how she changed the melody. She can make it so slow that each note lasts an hour - I don't give a damn about the speed. She can sing it that slow, so long as the melody isn't so off I can't even recognize it.

When she sang it - slow, fast, I don't care - it wasn't even the right melody. I've said it before, it sounded like one of her jazz numbers, not the true national anthem.

[wkozaa123]

@millie12345679 she was told to sing like that! she didn't change it 

[millie12345679]

@wkozaa123 gah, whatever. I say she butchered it. that's my opinion. bitch all you want, but it's what I (and other people I know) think. you think what you think, I'll think what I think. So I'll stop bitching now too.

[HelloWorld492]

@millie12345679 If you want to be a damn Fucking bitch go ahead but remember your just a bigot asshole you doesn't' know good music or fucking songs so stop fucking bitchin

[soindsisifh]

@millie12345679 It wasn't her choice how she sang it.. They had her sing it that way.

[Lorainavid]

I love this song so much

[ericwatson3]

the greatest 2 weeks in canadian history we showed the world that we are #1 and that we are just not happy to be there we showed that we have the best fans thousands were inspired and it brought pride to everyyone for games that began with tradgity they ended with such pride and hope

[superRJproductions1]

PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!!

[redthebone]

the bejing song is so much better

[ericwatson3]

@redthebone no

[jigtown303]

watch its good stuff that happen in winter

[akungoliver]

i miss the 2010 olympics :(

[lowaces]

this is stephen harpers kind of music -- it sucks

[SniperViper1000]

@lowaces Your ass says "I like to blow shit when I fart" and your taste says "I like to eat that shit!"

[BTC141]

Now this is the proper Vancity Olympic themes. This theme song brought my city together and strenghthened our belief in our nation's atheletes. I love my country and I love all those who pledge allegience to the oath under the Maple Leaf. God Bless.

[lowaces]

@BTC141 so bring on the HST and keep the number one industry in BC illegal

[lilwarriorprincess]

@BTC141 God bless u too:)

[BTC141]

@lilwarriorprincess Thank you

[EmileSabetiMehr]

@BTC141

I totally agree dude

[BTC141]

@EmileSabetiMehr Cheers!

[23navi23]

wut did i say? i commented on this vid but i for got wut i said you repleyed

[gardnermonk]

"I believe in the power of you and I" is incorrect. Should be "I believe in the power of you and me" but what the hell just another example of the ignorance associated with the yabos involved with the Olympics.

[wkozaa123]

@gardnermonk the lyrics are supposed to be inspiring. not be corrected because of grammer. let it go!

[wkozaa123]

@gardnermonk IGNORE THE FACT THAT ITS GRAMMAR IS IN CORRECT. its such an amazing song, why don't you just let it go! it's inspiring. without this song, there would be NO 14 golds. try singing "I believe in the power of you and me" that wouldn't sound right. "I believe in the power of you and I" sounds more inspirational!

[SniperViper1000]

@wkozaa123 It's you and I not you and me. You and me is incorrect grammer therefore she's got correct grammer alll that time not you.

[killmanx27]

Canada is awsome EH!

[HelloWorld492]

@killmanx27 i have started saying eh to

[1hrtjonas4life]

I LVOE THIS SONG SO MUCh her voice is beautiful!

[jesusishugh]

I go to school with Nikki Yanofsky

[wkozaa123]

@jesusishugh i can't really say i believe you.. i can't really say i don't believe you.. but this song has been  made to help others believe in the athletes, so i will believe you that you go to school with nikki

[traviscormier12]

2020! ill thats a mad long time thank god i live in vancouver! im not 19 but id rather be younger then being 35!. The olympics here was roowdy as fuck!

[wkozaa123]

@traviscormier12 fucking screw you then if you mean the mean way!

[wkozaa123]

I made a little poem inspired by Williams Carlos Williams for Canada: So much depends upon A big maple leaf Dancing in the wind At a big festival Inspired by: William Carlos Williams By: Wkozaa123

[peepop111]

so depressing that the Olympics are over sooooo fast, a few months ago we were all looking forward to it and now it;s all over waaahhhhh!!!!

[traviscormier12]

a few months ago no one was looking forward to it we thought it would be crowded and ridiculous. but when it was over no one wanted it to end it was so rowdy goin downtown and getting fuckin haam showed

[irwimaxw270]

I love this video im from Canada so it brings back memories from the 2010 Winter Olympics suck as Canadas first gold medal on our own land the look on alexanders failies face just warmed my heart. Enjoy the song EH!

[wkozaa123]

@irwimaxw270 I'd rather not say that.. I mean, even if we did suck, we as a country rock. Vancouver is part of Canada. If the 2010 Olympics sucks, then canada sucks. Great Britan said the vancouver 2010 olympics suck, but they took it back because they found out how great of a country and city we are. How we thanked the athletes for inspiring us and more!

[HelloWorld492]

@wkozaa123 Britain was just jealous

[wkozaa123]

@HelloWorld492 nope. not at all. they were angry at vancouver for the amount of injuries caused while the olympics were on. and technically they were jealous of our opening and closing ceremony effects.. and the hilarious events that happened. i would agree with you, but that would be the wrong answer... "britain was just jealous" pffttt please! britain learned their lesson

[rajiv20001]

Dream on Toronto.. Vancouver is putting it's bid for 2020 Summer.

[wkozaa123]

@rajiv20001 Toronto is too cold for summer olympics, to be honest.. or is it?!

[shannonsullyxo519]

@wkozaa123 not in the summer...

[wkozaa123]

@shannonsullyxo519 it has to be warm enough so there isn't much rain going on. vancouver is competing for the next summer or winter olympics. beijing was chosen because it's hot and they have the technology to stop rain for a week

[VS257]

@rajiv20001 Please.... pay your debt from 2010 winter olympics first before you bid another olympic event!

[SingerSamantha]

absolutely love this song, and I also did a cover on it! check it out on my channel!

[wkozaa123]

My heart always sinks and believe everytime i hear this song.. I heard it so many times and it still sinks my heart. I believe will always be at the top and be CTV's anthem. Go canada, and proud to be Canadian. Thank you to the producer who produced this song, Thank you to NIkki Yanofsky, thank you to others. You made all of us Canadians believe greatly in our athletes. Thats why we sing O Canada anywhere for our athletes.. And this moment will live on forever.

[soniabonia1515]

she's soo good. i heard her on the Wavin Flag video. and i fell in love with her voice.

[bugabooQueen09]

i love this song

[theluckygirl012]

No words I can describe about this song... but all I can say is that it is totally amazing... I'm so wordless..

I'm totally emotional cuz of t that

it makes me think of my couzins in Vancouver I really miss them and the olympic games I've been watching :)

xx

[SoulbringerWoWFFXI]

Just wondering if you can buy THIS version on Itunes, the other ones have a pause and constant repeating of "i believe"

thanks!

[wkozaa123]

@SoulbringerWoWFFXI There are two versions actually. You'll never know which one is which.. it depends :P

[cheesefriday]

god, i miss the olympics so much. it brought us all together.

[CandyCanadiana]

Candy had a great time at the Olympics & wants to thank all Vancouverites for their hospitality! Being there for the Olympics is a memory she will hold up there as the best!

[monakicheung]

@basketball53 Toronto's up for bidding, the results will be announced in 2013

[wkozaa123]

@monakicheung for what? Russia has already been chosen

[xtxslayxtx]

Great Vid! 5/5

[Ninjakasumi500]

This song should be the Canucks's playoff song it does go great with it

[redpinkday]

Nope, bad idea.

[wkozaa123]

@Ninjakasumi500 actually, a lot of people are using phrases on their banners:

Canada BELIEVES in you, CANUCKS!

AND

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF YOU AND I, CANUCKS!

really.. i saw that!

so yes, you're right. it should be in the playoffs

[u22onyou]

AmAzInG! THE BEST OLYMPICS!!

[TheCanucksvideos]

Our Father, who art in GM Place, hockey be thy name. Thy will be done, GOLD to be WON on ICE as well as IN THE STANDS. Give us this day, our hockey sticks, and forgive us our penalties, as we forgive those who crosscheck against us. Lead us not into elimination, but deliver us to victory,... in the name of the fans, CANADA, and the HOLY PUCK. AMEN!

[HelloWorld492]

@TheCanucksvideos lol

[ickavika]

@TheCanucksvideos THAT IS SOOO TRUE LOL

[truffles4479]

This song is so wonderful, i live in vancouver and my brother was part of the closing ceremonies, he was at the beginning in white with the snowboards. :)

[partyy2thebeat]

i live in vancouver and i saw everything it was amazing !

[VS257]

Congratz Vancouver but Thank God I live in Toronto because Toronto is the next Canadian city to host the Olympics!

Toronto 2020 Summer Olympics!!!!!
