Ard Matthews FORGETS the South Africa National Anthem

[Amunication]

they look like schoolboys lol

[Cardman156]

You fucked for life bro

[groenduif]

@rizah19850 - You mentioned "...just wankers behind a pc...making comments..".

Surely, that includes yourself? And yes, you are correct, we others just making "kak"

certainly comments cannot sing - but then we did not attempt to sing the national anthem on TV. Furthermore, we at least know the words and did not make a huge asshole or poes of ourselves or caused a huge embarresment.

[meisiekindmarleen954]

Dit is vir my erger dat Suid Afrikaners nooit volwasse kommentaar kan lewer nie. Is dit altyd nodig om sulke walglike taal te gebruik?

[proteinman3288]

hes got a real nice voice poor guy the pressure of the camera

[pozesed8]

What a fucking retard

[kytron121]

fuck this nigga

[TheVredeHunter]

 eina fok, dit maak seer.

[carmanschalk]

@TheVredeHunter sies ou dis lelek

[kat06sa]

Mi Scussi

[rizah19850]

Eish bru, thats a kak one, at least you can have a laugh and carry on. To be fair exept for the hickup it sounded great. many of these guys on here can't sing or have the balls to preform like you never mind having a massive musical history, most of them are just wankers behind a pc with there own simple minded opinions and shouldn't be worthy of making kak comments, side effect of free speech I suppose. we should feel blessed, we coulld all be like that.Take care bro waiting for your new album.

[groenduif]

Thanks for making such a grand fuck up of the National Anthem. How can this huge and massive embarresment just be laughed off as a... "mistake...we are all human..who does`nt". If you do not know the words, don`t make a poes of your

self, the country and the boks....AND DON`T TRY AND SING IT...!!!!!!

[nonchalant1985]

@groenduif may the measure you use be used on you. Good luck escaping death champ.

[mrswitbooi]

I don't know what's worse, Ard not knowing the anthem or the Bokke wearing those... what the hell do you call it... on their heads!

[officialbsj]

WEird that he remembers the english and afrikaans parts perfectly. It's disrespectful. Even black people though seem to sing the afrikaans bit with more gusto than the rest of the anthem...I wonder?!!!!!

[Lordchong11]

THE hole country fagot at scott220364

[scotteggleton1]

@Lordchong11 It's WHOLE.. And you have the cheek to call me fagot,Go back to your HOLE you little mole !

[scott220364]

fucking awesome, i dont know the words either and who gives a shit !!!

[TheHippo1001]

@scott220364 I do, dick.

[scotteggleton1]

@TheHippo1001 bully for you, and the best you can come up with is DICK so sad !

[DrBeerbubbles]

well thats Just Dandy...and you cant spell ginger either....sorry for you

[ruanpos]

Ard's Response: "Ard Matthews CAN sing the National Anthem" on Youtube



[thearkhitect]

Hey Ard! No stress bru! We are all human! And none of us can say we have never messed up!! I must say though that this is exactly what the white population of South African needs to see and this exact moment has been bread by years of white society humming the Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho parts of this song and i believe its time we all learn the national anthem properly once and for all!!! Feel for you Ard!! Pick your head up and go for it!! We back you brother!

[nonchalant1985]

@thearkhitect what exactly does the national athem resemble? From here all I can see is selfish temporary pleasure mixed with hypocrisy.

[ashley6nine]

A.R.D: A Real Drol

[13sidd79]

cringe moment..........

[Lanz22]

They couldn't get Timothy Moloi? A sign of things to come for the Springboks.

[ruanpos]

The ARD of forgetting...

[HansR1985]

hahahahahahaha

[tutustories]

SIES.

[Ryly14]

Ard u need ur dreads back man............. wel lets see all u other morons sing infront of 6 mil and remeber everything! at least he accepted that he messed up and carried on!

[helenaleroux]

o my word!!! What an idiot!! How many years do you need to practise the anthem we have been singing since the 90's?!!?!? ...and still get it wrong... What are the chances of you being asked again for such an honour in front of 60 mil people?? HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[21paul22]

This guy is a cunt,however,that part of the anthem is a load of kuk anyways

[aggenbagh]

He sings better than Julius by miles! Hehe

What a good way to handle the blunder.

[aggenbagh]

@aggenbagh At least he got the South African Anthem correct...he had some trouble with the National Anthem.

[dewdrops1111]

HAHA SO FUNNY!



[V1CanisMajoris]

Everyone that says hes a asshole or something like that, ummmm hes South African, just like all of us, sooo actualy your swearing at ur own kin!

[jmde1]

@V1CanisMajoris Yes, because aaaaall South Africans are related...

[Chihawa1]

What a disgrace! to think that I actualy buy Just Jinjer's albums. if you are proud of being a South African you should know the national anthem period. The anthem has meaning, this undermines our african langauges. Its such a disapointment.

[siyanda00]

I THINK IT WAS ON PURPOSE MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

[SweetArls]

Grooooot POES!!

[southernstaying]

Yip, Ard Matthews het toe YouTube gehaal. Maar kyk hoe sit die Springbokke tydens die Volkslied. Nie een staan op nie. Ek dink ons kan die oomblik in gedagte hou wanneer vrae na gebrek aan passie oor 'n paar weke ter sprake kom. Mag dit hul eintlike wake-up call wees.

[The60601]

@southernstaying Valid point about the Springboks not standing up!

[haydh4]

shit happens... nice recovery

[vampired305]

Lyrics for those who can't hear:

Nkosi sikel iAfrika. Maloo pukka knee swear *laugh*. I’m so nervous this is SUCH a big honour for me. Maloo pukka knee swear, turn doo why oar.

[brakeYOself21]

@vampired305 hahahah i die!!!!

[21paul22]

i have 2 words for you Ard....hang on...I forgot

[21paul22]

haha,now he's full appologies and excuses and also has also released a complimentary CD for people who want to learn the anthem.WHAT A CUNT!! hahahaha

[IanYouTubian]

Nice one ART! You know the words as well as I do :D its anyways a kak anthem lol

[JSparrow275]

You safas don't have to destroy your own anthem,we here in New Zealand are more then capable of doing that for you at this years world cup ;)

[marcelduplessis]

@JSparrow275 How does it feel to win the world cup twice? Oh wait you wouldn't know.... ask us :)

[JSparrow275]

@marcelduplessis I'll tell u at the end of this world cup.lol

[Sibusisokana]

He must go bury himself...!!!

[rachealchengetai]

how embarrassing!!!

[cottoncandy690]

I love how everybody thinks he is stoned. if he is, FUCK YEAH i wish i could sing the national anthem in front of the whole country stoned outta my brackets. Word ard you fucking champion

[Nirv4sh]

... idiot.

[MrRajieboy]

Ard you tried tooooooo hard!!!!

[pommyknocker]

if embarrassment could kill we'd all be dead!

[adeGuitarMan]

Blunder of note! Shocking for a professional. either that...or he got a double dare bet!

[jaung12]

At least he pulled off the "mi scuzzi"

[LyleJarvis]

my 3 year old son can do better than this, is this dude South African?

[HellSeWitMuisScab]

Supersport should have cut the broadcast....

[Jojoereggaemtl]

LISTEN TO MY AFRICA ANTHEM THANKS

HAVE A NICE DAY....

[PlumbingTheCape]

he knew if he got die stem wrong they would all moere him

[Zoomerschoe]

Forget about who authorised Ard to sing who chose those hats the Boks are wearing ???



[lmankj]

What are those things the guys are wearing on their heads?

[bleakblackbird]

How many of us can actually sing it? I think he just assumed that he knew the song...and never practised. I still love him! It's after all just a song...

[HellSeWitMuisScab]

@bleakblackbird I think most people can sing it, and he probably did practice as it would be unprofessional if he did not. It's not just a song-it's our country's National Anthem! It was a major fuckup on his part...

[bleakblackbird]

@HellSeWitMuisScab I understand the importance of it...but at the end of the day rugby is just a game and even if we have pride in our national anthem...do we really have pride in our country? One of my friend's quote: "Ag shame man....people get so hung up about symbolism. Screwing up an anthem is way a less serious offense than our dear politicians screwing with the people. Most of us don't even live by the anthem code. Poor dude, he's ruined, bet he wishes he just declined the "honour".

[MrRajieboy]

What an load of rubbish he knew well what he was doing even gave a sin cal laugh.If he did not know the world technology is so great a plan could háček been made or maybe he just wanted to shame our anthem.Not once did a black singer mess up the Afrikaans part of the anthem.Why did they not use Judith Sephuma or Johnny Clegg.

[JoshIs2469]

sucks to be him

[Nathanbmajor7]

Is it so Ard to remember the lyrics? xD

[stoicman31]

Fans on the stands are like 'WTF' ? LOL

[OldTrafford110]

dont worry about ard.

[danielbezuidenhout]

dis so blerrie snaaks! die ou het geweet hy jaag k@k aan en begin sommer vir homself te lag. classic comedy. ons sal maar die stem moet verander want dis obviously te moeilik vir ons performers om te sing

[ThePriVaTe1024]

im glad he got the zulu part wrong :D and the rest beautifully done :D



[joneethling]

Is this what the fuss is all about? Small things amuse small minds.

[GuanoTheGamer]

this is so bad

[kleinkrokodil]

My four year old came in while I was watching this and said "Daddy, those aren't the words"....

[lekkerjdy]

Nog nooit van die ou gehoor, g'n wonder... sies skandelik... flou kaart om te se hy's "nervous"... maar ken glad nie eens "Nkosi Sikeleli" gedeelte van die nasionale volkslied... nou weet wie hy nou is... n Saffa van nie eens sy land se volkslied ken... pateties.

[TheHeinrichvr]

@lekkerjdy actually is jy pateties. dink jy regtig n professionele sanger sal so "career suicide" pleeg? dis die lead singer van just jinger (hoe kan jy nie weet wie dit is nie, drie-breinsel-wonder?)

[lekkerjdy]

@TheHeinrichvr Jy laat my eintlik besef dat Ard se gesingery meer pateties was sien dat hy n "Professionele Sanger" is. Dink jy moet kalmeer anders verdwyn jy jou laaste brein selletjie... lekker jy!

[TheHeinrichvr]

@lekkerjdy sorry ek sal nie weer nie.

[TheHeinrichvr]

calm down people,

he surely knows the words - it was just nerves.

has any of you dissing him ever performed before such a big crowd?

didnt think so.

[conradjooste]

HAHAHA he probably did that on purpose!!! what a LEGEND!!!

[Boomshakablok]

Good start for the Worldcup build-up......... Thanks Ard your a d..s

[DeadlyMarshKin]

Mampara of the week!

[Trixietree]

I think nerve's can do this especially when it's not your home tong - did you see that reporter at the grammies or some prise giving who everyone thought had had a stroke cause she started gong gobbeldy gook.... same thing

[The60601]

I think his ego is so huge that he didn`t even bother to learn something as small and trivial as the NATIONAL ANTHEM! It does make a person look at someone you`ve admired for so long in a different light. Even a child would have known the words and felt more honored for the opportunity than he did! Sad!!

[robinhewd]

Still better than SA idols.

[DubberAdi]

Big naai! How cant you know the anthem Mr. Fuck Face!!

[Italanmo]

No brah No... dont ppl audition anymore? 1st the Rasta now this??

[PhatkidMuzik]

daaammmnn!....hahahahaha...thi­s is not even funny.....LOL!!!....Its almos as bad as Dave from Idols SA singing Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye! *eish* 

[sakmaz1]

ironically, he's such a talented singer. but man he fucked this up!

[mileschennells]

peace, love, more tolerance hahahah

[MegaGrietjie]

Having been in a similar situation...just not to that magnitude. I seriously feel for the dude. That was beyond embarrassing, and when ones makes that first mistake, and realize what you did, you know the snowball behind you is coming. And fast! I do NOT want to be in his shoes right now. But yes....he should have done his homework. Sorry Ard!

[saspost]

What a fucktard!

[justindownes]

If I could handle all my mistakes with a chuckle and then press on I'd be a happier man. Good man Ard.

[DeadlyMarshKin]

Ever watched the new Trevor Noah DVD Crazy-Normal? Where he makes fun of people who can't sing our anthem... Ard the Tard gives sound evidence ha ha!

[Ventro69]

Type this into search and come back to me....

"Stoned man sings National Anthem"

[WaRn00b85]

what a poes..

[landicoetzee]

i do not want 2 be rude 2 this guy......but holy hell dude, didnt u learn the words before hand?!?!?!?!?! what a way 2 make the bokke and our country look like total idiots!!

[Candylekkergirl]

Love it hahaha the part where he laughs kills me LOL Great one

[ziletm]

Dumbs ass - he was just fine with the English / Afrikaans parts!! Nxa

Why don't they test these people first before they sing to the nations #annoyed!

[Ventro69]

D'oh, made me look. So he messed up a few words, big fukken wank. Why are you all getting so emo aboot it? I bet half you wankers were the type who pissed themselves when they had to stand up and read in class. GTFO.

[ziletm]

@Ventro69 BECAUSE he actually does not know the first part of the song!! Why say yes to singing such an important song if you know it? Mind went blank my ass!

[freakinfabulous777]

disgusting



[murraywilliams9]

hahahaha this is so kak. Ard go back to California and bury your head in the sand boet.

[kalahariuk]

Shame! His mind just went blank! It happens to all of us.

[heathbateman]

proper...proper...proper fail...Smit looks like he was going to have a serious conversation with him afterwards.

[thabi10]

Poor afrikaner

[2pipedream]

no problem with the afrikaans and english! haha!

[npickard]

Ahhh c'mon guys! I thought it was much worse the way you are all carrying on. Ok the "mi scuzzi" is dodge I agree...

[0825569043]

IDIOT

[darrenred]

hahahaha i was crying!! Too classic lol what a legend!!

[KidMLV]

Ard, go suck a fat one bud. Why do you laugh when you mess up and claim you are devastated the next day? Smiling like a plank all the way through. Have another hit of the crack-pipe and bugger off.

[averageallan]

Fuck ard matthews! He should never have been picked to sing it. Hes such a loser I'd love to wipe that laugh he did while screwing it up right off his face!

[cherylszj]

Its so sad that we have our boys, sitting there in all their regalia with a huge banner about Uniting behind the boks is behind them and then something like this happens (or is allowed to happen)...I had to learn the stem as an adult as i tried to get my heart to transform...can all South Africans not learn our anthem...and he sang the rest so beautifully...our poor boks (this is all they need)...

[MsLaliness]

Okes, the poor guy was nervous. He wasn't trying to be disrespectful. Give him a break!!!! Shame. Poor guy.

[Doep90]

This is a fucking disgrace

[justtocause]

Serious anthem fail .. they should just get the team to sing it cs they are the only ones who will get it correct.

[paddy4716]

Beast should have round-house kicked him in the F*&kin face, back to Italy where he got mi scuzzi from!!!! that would have been the greatest thing ever

[stoicman31]

bOOOOO. sHAME ON HIM. That was just awful. He single handed destroyed one of the most beautiful national anthems in the world.

[heathbateman]

@stoicman31 he single-handedly just destroyed his career too.

[JaredG29]

@heathbateman Totally disagree, he didnt need to sing this to become famous. His band has been great for many years, this will only give him more publicity, which will probably be good instead of bad!!

[DeathCoreBrii]

Lol at people freaking out, who cares

[majorchord135]

What a [#uckt]Ard! Mi Scusi, but Improve your Zulu/Xhosa/Sotho before improving your Italian. And rehearse before you DO THE BLOODY ANTHEM ON TV. And... weird how performing on stage for living you still get nervous playing in a room of less than 50 people.

[paddy4716]

Father and father! your two daddys should have taught you the lyrics asshole. And 'mi scuzzi' like what nationality are you really? CHOP

[llewellleo]

One little error and everyone harps on him and the sound problem is clearly not his fault. You go and stand on the stage and do that. I think he handled it very well and ended it well.

[arthurleesrolfe]

Just Jinger??? Just Embarrassing!!!

[MrDeathmattg]

Yo man! These things can, will and always do happen every now and again! I've been in your situation where your mind goes white! It's a bummer, but so what! time marches on and when you sing in a club in the states, people there won't know about it. Good Luck!

[leishler]

shmuk!

[danalexsmith]

even the beast looked embarrassed for him.

[jasonfridaay]

What a fuckup!

[michellehenning]

speachless... gobsmacked... wtf!

[hasamatt]

well done ard! You clearly were hopelessly unprepared for this occasion. Tit!

[darynlouw22]

What's with the pissy hats the team is wearing!? the way he sang the anthem fits quite nicely with thoes.

[sirArchitect]

Oh my God it's terrible, It's worse than I thought.... why did'nt they get that DUDE from the Parlotones... not this random who is he? where is he from?

[Craanbal]

@sirArchitect Dude, are you six years old? Its Ard Matthews from Just Jinjer. Not a random at all.

[sirArchitect]

@Craanbal JUdging from this No wonder I dont them... But this gotta hurt for the band's rep... not good at all.

[theslarmie1980]

check the players reaction. Schalk is smiling, Victor is pissed, John is amazed & Beast doesn't know anythings wrong

[RingoSauce]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[bubbles2675]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! @10810 Comments



[10810Irukandji]

This guy probably got a tender from the corrupt ANC government to sing this song. No one can blame him for laughing at the stupid words. How can a bunch of natives, who believe in the spirits of their forefathers, ask God to look after them?

This song always reminds me of drunken sing-a-longs the hotnots used to have in Capetown.

[angilolo1]

@10810Irukandji  You're really clever aren't ya?? twat

[DeathCoreBrii]

@10810Irukandji LOL hectic

[presh314]

what a prawn...



[adriansteyn]

lets hope the performance of the players is better and not "overcome by the moment"
