Bardot butcher the Australian Anthem

[jerb3lotus]

omg its so bad!

[Stace1976]

Not that bad

[SurebrecUK]

there's nothing like a beautifully sung national anthem, and this is nothing like a beautifully sung national anthem.

[hamo087]

Anthony Callea or Delta Goodrem do the best version of the Aus Anthem!

[jonty811]

the players sound better lol

[glebereds]

How is Waltzing Matilda a better national anthem? A song about a suicidal sheep thief...Seriously that would a dumbass national anthem

[EoghanO92]

@glebereds the pogues version maybe?



[MundyArtStudio]

its not that good, but not that bad, just boring and not inspiring whatsoever which is what the anthem is supposed to be.

i just heard delta's version and it was excellent and im so glad it wasnt changed.

[vsboy25]

OH MY GOD, they needed to be taken out with a hellfire missile.

[MiganaV]

do you need all the runs??? really!!???!!

[MyWisdomTeethHurt]

It wasn't THAT bad...

[pageois]

The National Anthem must never be improvised. It must always be sung by a male. A baritone. And accompanied by a band. No argument. No opinion. Just fact.

[snoopygal1976]

@pageois lmao, sexist pig is all you are

[georgelooney53]

yep the anthem is pretty shite! why not change to kylies 'i should be so lucky' hahah!!

[jackwcolley]

@georgelooney53 could not agree more

[sarokhan]

Oh my goodness, it's off key, shaky and doesn't even sound Australian..... how disgusting..... for SHAME.... It offends me both as an Australian and as a lover of music

[Aussiephil99]

Sophie Monk did alright for herself......mind you she had to get her knockers out to have any sucess in Hollywood

[gmh65]

That was hideous. Bring back Olivia Newton-John...

[RaspberryAnthem]

I thought they did a pretty good job - I don't particularly like our national anthem so it was nice to see someone do something a little different.

[NHunt67]

I think Bardot tried to do the same thing a lot of singers do to the American Anthem. Unfortunately it doesn't work or sound as good.

[lildrumadude]

sounded good to me.. and I'm not just a random noob on youtube

[KwyKz0r]

@lildrumadude to us you are ;)

[lildrumadude]

@KwyKz0r haha true. . I meant im a musician (as my job). didnt wanna say it b4 but now i have. blah blah blah

[CreepingBoNE]

I AM SO PISSED AT THAT GUY THAT SAID; "THAT'S BETTER THAN WALTZING MATILDA"

What the fuck would you know mate?! that song means more to us than any other.

[Tuxey69]

@CreepingBoNE I think he was just having a go at your boys because you once had that clown singing Waltzing Matilda after the AB's had done the haka...it was almost as bad as the English attempting to Morris Dance before a match.

[shazzaseanage]

our rugby team did 100x better, just saying

[MobKnowledge]

John Eales and George Gregan didn't look impressed.

[takeuchi40]

I can't say they 'butchered' it. They don't exactly sound like a band of Hayley Westenra's but I didn't think it sounded that bad.

[ColinJV89]

Not sure how they butchered it. They didn't do nearly as bad as most of the people they get to sing the American national anthem.

[misso9099]

OMG i seriously hate this national anthem . no offence  ...

[CreepingBoNE]

@misso9099 You sure it's not the singers?

[misso9099]

@CreepingBoNE .... its both:/

[lizhodgins]

why are they all wearing matching clothes? :/

[ronnardk]

it sounded good ...

[ELZ981]

it wasn't that bad ..

[Jagwa3]

okay bitches where was was the melody?

[rmo18]

what a whore LOL

[TonyWho0]

Bring Back Murray!!!

[leredsock]

also, man walking on roof at 1:13. what a legend!

[leredsock]

did we lose that match? coz after that rendition, i would be clueless as to who i was playing for.

[JabbaaWockeeez]

its funny cause i Lol'd irl

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

this isn't my anthem but i a gutted for you aussies after that performance

[ThePhil909]

how embarrassing for all. but it should be Bardot butcher's the national anthem, not bardot butcher the national anthem, there needed a ('s) in the description mk mr mackey thr u guuuuuuuuuuuuu cartman lil

[ckosjf]

@ThePhil909 actually you're incorrect. There should not be a ('s) after butcher, as that is a possesive apostrophe. it should just be "butchers". If you are going to correct people's punctuation in the future, get it correct yourself.

[ThePhil909]

@ckosjf yes i saw that punctuation first but then i was only trying to reach this person's annoying heading. I would of put myself "Bardot, butcher's the auzies anthem. .. or the best is. Bardot butchering the Australian anthem. what say you? oh wise 1.

[drphoenix69]

off key much?

[10harrykewell10]

fortunately for him, john eales planned everything...he wore headbands

[KAHUNAGAN]

I have heard worse. Like when the camera went in front of the men who sounded like shit! That was bad. Bardot sounded good. At least they know the words!! They better cos they are Australian!

[Tehui1974]

I though Bardot sung it nicely. And the brunette on the end, I would gladly fuck her sideways while whistling dixie

[DrFijiFanclub]

Just to clarify for non-music fans, Bardot are the ones with the microphones, the guys in the tracksuits are the Aussie team.

[angeliqsupermodel]

They actually did fine guys... a few awkward harmonies... but it was in tune, it was fine...

[porno6361]

whoops

[CrazyEvo5]

Yeah this is just terrible! These bitches should just stay on the street where they belong. Im a kiwi but you dont go and slaughter another countries national anthem like this. Its disgraceful!

[Bucketheadhead]

It's a shite anthem anyways

[shiozza]

fuckin shit

[oWONTEKo]

awful, my ears are bleeding

[MuchDope]

what is that guy doing on the roof at 1:13 ???

[14loyal31]

@MuchDope cameraman

[KageModelZX]

@MuchDope probably preparing to jump.

[illusion1user]

A true disgrace.

[Caydn]

average at best

[Kinlochbervie50]

the commentator deserves an absolute WIN for his sarcasm!!

[degeux1]

actually, that was great.

[priestrani]

They did a great job!

[mrcino5]

never again please

[RosealieWalker]

oh my godness gracious god. O_o

[LateNightFidelity]

Back when Sophie-Whats-Her-Name looked normal

[kgnz]

Wow that's un-called for algud to call the performers crap but to call another country crap coz of it. Gezzzzz that's crap

[mistaofiu]

the wallabies are singing better then bardot hahaha.

[fab31158]

@thekunts274 pauvre connard

[thekunts274]

@fab31158 what the fuck does that mean dick head

[fab31158]

@thekunts274 shithead

[cspace1234nz]

That's just plain fucking awful !

At least when True Bliss sang the NZ anthem they sang with soul and looked as if they had practiced it a few times whereas these clowns need to be shot.

[livmcb]

yeah they tried to be creative... bless them... an anthem ain't that place! (are they booing in the crowd???)

[alphamone]

@livmcb

just be glad that we don't have as many attempts by celebs as the US anthem gets. Their anthem is hard enough to sing decently in the first place without people trying to be fancy.

[suffern63]

I hate all this nonsense of getting celebs in to sing,a lot of tosh

[00000536]

Oi... Bardot did it so well... Sophie Monk is so pretty here and looked like a woman unlike now... she's gone skinnier... she was fine the way she was... I reckon this is the worst I've seen... I reckon this really is butchery... Of the American Anthem!!! watch?v=a1vSwn37qT0

[Leafer131]

If you think this was a butchery of an anthem, search "Oh Canada in Las Vegas"

[MuchDope]

1:13 whats up with the guy on the roof?

[dougmoen]

The song is such a turd how can you possibly butcher it?? Sounds like a kindergarten song.

I am Australian by the way.

[TheMclias]

@dougmoen It's not the song itself, but what the song represents!

[ChurchInAshes]

The song sucks regardless.

[mer1ve]

@ChurchInAshes better than the USA one i reakon.

[saikoza1]

Musically, that wouldn't be classified as a butchery of a song. Perhaps not the kind of rendition you want in order to pshyce yourself up for a test match.

If you want to see a butchered anthem, then listen to the rasta guy who gave his rendition of the South African anthem. Even worse than Borat singing the American anthem!

[cassideez]

@saikoza1 roseanne singing american anthem

[josephferrerosa34]

I think the Aussie anthem stinks and reaks of foul play, but that they make it sound better than it is. That's just what I hear in this one!

[policeb8]

hot girls but aussie rugby suck.

[anythingnew]

The girls did fine.

[blinkme478]

the way they sang that was NOT better than waltzing matilda

[DamnArms12345]

Hahaha was that murray mexted at the end there?

[ffsuc]

lmao..... how fukin pathetic

[navandetforever]

It lets it down when they sing together.

[shahrid1987]

hahahahah ive not got a problem with it, but u can jus here the boooing jeering and hissing from the crowd!

[Miltersen32]

Not much of a national anthem, but a great Christmas Carol though..

[roger2307]

i cant see anything wrong with it>?

[lucyfanclub]

@roger2307 Totally agree. I thought it was one of the best I've heard. Totally unaccompanied, nothing but voices and harmonies.

[mightyboi22]

utter CRAP!!! worst version i have ever heard... ashamed to have them sing my anthem

[nsakic]

Even though it is brutal to butcher any national anthem, however, I do find it amusing to see performers crash and burn and self-destruct on national tv. I've seen many atrocious renditions of national anthems and there is always some hilarity in them.

During a hockey game in Montreal, this woman completely blanked out while singing US anthem. So, she went back to get the paper and when she got back on the ice she slipped flat on her ass. Search for "Girl falls on ice singing National Anthem".

[PocketJaces]

oh god, awful.

[asylum0001]

what the fuck is this? if you're going to sing a song sing it properlly for fucks sake

[111edy]

RUBBISH !

[yzwariij]

you just can't do like this when you are the lead singer on a football stadium! how in the world will the people be able so sing with them when they have their own version?? i'm not even australian, but i think that was a shame..it's soo powerful when the whole crowd can sing along!

[82tjay]

The girls were gr8 as always :) ,,,, Whoever named it butcher really need there hearing checked. Or obviously are jelous by the Talent in wich they entail.

[jagermasters]

my ears are bleeding

[gigioz74]

the girls did fine.....it was the wallabies that sounded awful....LOL! Australia is a great country though :)

[teapot232]

1:14 is that a guy (top left) walking on top of the stadium? WTF?

[Jigglesw]

when they do solo parts they fuck it up but when they do harmonys its okay

[Satanic1992]

SHIT SONG SHIT SPORT SHIT COUNTRY.

[supercrevolution]

@Satanic1992

BEST POST EVER BRO!!!

[MrAllenok]

@Satanic1992 hey bro, do you guys get the internet in the land of the long white cumstain, wow you are going ahead. or are you overseas with the rest of your inbred bum buddies

[Satanic1992]

@MrThartley I'm American wait I see your what you're trying to do, I will say I'm from a country and you will say something bad about whatever country I say icic in that case I still say I'm American :D

[MrThartley]

@Satanic1992 yuck why would i lower myself to your standard you uncultured, judgmental wanker. How old are you? grow up

[axis87]

@Satanic1992 shit bloke

[gabrielledrew]

what are they wearing!?

[PihaSandDunes]

That was melodic, and had some nice harmonies. I liked it, as a piece of music. Problem is though, national anthems at sports events are mainly for the crowds to sing, so the chosen singers taking liberties with phrasing and time and where to come in on/off the beats just throws everyone else out of synch. Simple is good. Save the experimentation for concerts, not singalongs.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

A shitty performance of a shitty song to celebrate a shitty sport. Works for me!

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

[SD78]

It's a terrible national anthem to begin with.

The Bardot version was an improvement.

[ozjenva]

@SD78 I agree, our anthem is old and daggy. This isnt such a bad version.

[millencolin17]

I stopped halfway. I think my ears just puked

[EmmeJayKay]

They sing bad and they should feel bad.

[winarlia]

your a shit sport!

[shaky145]

shit song suits a shit sport

[CelticCanuck4]

nothing wrong with that

[dadnutz]

I dont give a sh!t about the aussie's but that performance was absolute !! CRAP !!

[aussiedanman]

Absolute Crap!!!! And the testament is the fact that Bardot are who now days?? Horrendous performance for a horrendous career!

[ByeByeBelly]

It's not the best, but wasn't worth watching as the anthem being 'butchered'

[alistanik]

that sucked

[leaguefan4life]

horrendous performance? what the hell are you talking about

[johnnymacklufc]

who cares? :-)

[Tehui1974]

Those Aussie chicks can sit on my face anytime they want. Hell, I'll even hum their national anthem while they're sitting there.

[mccoll1234]

lol.. this is awful..

[ch18nzl]

Fuck You Australia! We New Zealanders have a way better national anthem than what ur fukkin country have and ur people cant even say it properly. So "HIP HIP HA RAY HIP HIP HA RAY" New Zealand has won the trophy 4 va best National Anthem of the world!!!

[mccoll1234]

@ch18nzl New Zealand may be great n all.. (im half NZish) but u have weird fush n chups accents lol

[scotsa23]

it's not that bad?

[rockmattssocks]

?!.... they were pretty much flawless... tough crowd.

have seen a hell of a lot worse.

[MelbKnights]

What the fuck? They turn the Anthem into a pop song!

[BSHS4101]

FUCKENNN USELESSSS PRICKSSS

[lunafringe10]

omg look at all them bimbos

[bananabrothaz007]

OMFG!!! What a disgrace!!

[shaky145]

wow she looks like a cunt seppo all of them

[Marcuskristicus]

I remember during the 90's at one of the rugby finals, some "famous" opera singer gave the most embarassing performance of the Australian anthem ever. Even the players were laughing and rolling their eyes.

Tried to find it here but doesn't look like it's up, surprisingly.

[wordsleydave]

I fuckin hate these type of twats singing anthems before a game. Stick to a good proper brass band and let the fans sing.

[BSHS4101]

@wordsleydave yess great ideaaa

[wensley80]

This would of been sooooooo embarrasing if the kiwi pop stars winners hadnt come on and did their national after that!

[supergrantpedersen1]

@wensley80 embarrasing for kiwis n aussies mate. they were both rubbish

[capablemachine]

TAKE OFF THE FRIGGIN TOP!

[MHJanson]

Gotta love Murray Mexted after the anthem and his comments..."Well that was a delightful rendition..." No bias or sarcasm there.

[WesternForce1989]

Murray Mexted, i'm an aussie, but he was one funny cunt :L

[gordopark13]

My ideal singer would be your everyday aussie bloke pull out of the pub one in the hand mic in the other, how fucking Aussie would that be then some so called gay arse pro singers.

[deNorbury]

thats why john williamson is the best.

[gdavies4]

hugh jackman is a high standard to live up to

[MistaPasifika]

Bardot are WAY hotter the True Blisters,i mean true bliss.

[joncs3]

Where did they stuff up

[dahercool]

@joncs3 the writing of the song

[mjribes]

At least Bardot isn't made up of a rasta (who doesn't know the words) on vocals and 2 twits on bongo drums.

[jesaulenko70]

I rate your comment a la South Africa

[WesternForce1989]

haha right on mate

[oocdbrown]

You can laugh or cry about the SA anthem, I still don't know what to do!

[jesaulenko70]

urgh gross. I read Jon Eales mind: "Those bitches suck!"

[ALshow1989]

bloody hell gels, rubbish. let the boys do it properly.

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

that was pretty pants
