savage garden - Affirmation(LIVE at Olympic games)

[JuzG85]

Gay, Straight, Bi who cares???? Man this is awesome music, I wish the band would get back together and make some more "real" music about real issues

[AimayBee]

5 people are millionares.

[AliciaMarie160]

Thumbs up if you can hear the audience singing along !

[MsNostalgicDi]

The Olympics was the first time I heard this song. Fell in love with the lyrics. Such a rush. Love playing it at home with a little more bass for the pulse. Thanks for posting 3159831.

[GrinddalCPH]

WOW this song takes me back :) I loved these guys man! The world is such a cold place now a days!

[kaibil85]

[MrMatt082]

awome song wish the group didnt split i wish they get back together

[ssm2407]

Great song, great performance, luv it !

[cheekymonkey0770]

THE perfect way to close an Olympic Games ceremony. I'll always congratulate Sydney on a job definitely well done!

[snd716]

I disagree with some comments.. I saw them live twice and let me tell you it may have been a long time ago, but I can remember them clearly and they sounded exactly the same! They were two of the best concerts of my life and I've been to many concerts!

[CompletelyIncomplete]

lmao.. this was taken from a danish channel. haha

[Martinofredwall100]

Mange tak!

Thanks!

[BlueSmoothie4Eva]

I LOVe THiS SoNG

[AloneAgain]

He was miming as all artists do at the closing ceremonies. They mime in case anything goes wrong and they always have done.

[oliversoto]

The best olympics closing ceremony ever !!!

[ChristySully1]

Between these guys Midnight Oil Kylie and Men at Work yeah I agree it was the best closing ceremony ever.!!

[DanielR305]

I hope the London games will be as good as this but I am not so sure they will be. But lets hope something will come out positive out of the London games I really do because London and rest of the uk really need it at present

[FBMOAY]

have u seen him sing on jay leno show? sounds great and he definetly did not mime that they sound the same

[FBMOAY]

he didnt mime it.... trust me isnt gonna make me beleive u cus he just tried extra hard cus he wanted to represent his country at the olympics!

[joshuatreebje]

This is such a great uplifting, happy song. It was such a great time when the olympic games were here, i was only 15!, its hard to believe it was almost 10 years ago!

[Haracb]

Wow!!

[justjokingyall]

souunds to BE BOP?

[justjokingyall]

how can you say that it sounds like Christian music when one of the lines is i believe you can not chose your sexuallity? aren't mst christians morraly against it?

[NayrTydus]

this is closing ceremony of sydney olympic??

[sargonsrobot]

Part therof- there was plenty more -Kylie -Slim Dusty -& many others. cheers!

[strke69]

They aren't though.

[iaberis]

playback tou kerata

[maidenaust]

Darren Hayes actually became more homosexual everytime went on stage. By the end...he made Just Jack from Will and Grace look like Hulk Hogan

[greekmonstervt91]

i wonder if the australian atheletes their knew who savage garden where

[justjokingyall]

Ya they did. Savage Garden was big in their home country

[MaMoRoE]

where did they originate?

where are they from?

[justjokingyall]

google it

[Puikideo]

Darren is from Australia

Daniel is from UK.

Darren was singing in his hometown sky!!!

[reillydon]

???????????? from uk is he!!!!!

[KazzaLuvsByrne]

Daniel is actually ustralian too..... but he lived in San Fransisco...... im related to their ex manager!!

[Terrorain]

the only performance with him lipsyncing...and he was forced to :P

[hettie30]

I dont think he was lip syncing I lip read and it looks like he was really singin u v can tell the diff

[gazmufc09]

trust me he is miming to this its merely playback tell tale signs wires in guitars and not a break in his singing notes i have seem him sing it live a few times now and he can't sing it like that. brilliant vocalist but defo miming

[konkelberryfinn]

yeah i also think this is playback... aww :(

[putera04]

i love this song :)

[eduardo1461]

i don´t rememeber this moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whay??????????? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay­?????????????????? viva Savage Garden saludos from Chili

[AfRoS4ever]

I LOVED the Sydney Closing Ceremony....

This made it even sweeter

[Oodlesxofxnoodles]

Oh, great vid by the way! Sorry!

Love the song

[Oodlesxofxnoodles]

Not true, matchbox1210, I sang it for my church and did fine

[matchbox1210]

here is another thing: if you actually sing this song you will find it is not that kind of song that suits to perform live, because it is almost impossible to finish so many words in one breath. and just because he should prove he can sing doesn't mean that he should have an abnormal lung:)be more understanding guys~~~

[Icepup321]

Love it!

[angeliquebernadette]

darren never lip sync, i watched one of his interviews so long ago,that he was so against it, because people go there to listen and watch their idols and its unfair if the singer is not singing live!!!! hes definitely singing live,he has a wonderful voice.

[monoceres]

I hate to say it, since this is one of my all-time favorite but it's definitely lip sync. It's one thing to sing good, another to exactly reproduce the album version.

:(

[matchbox1210]

I have this friend who worked for Beijing Olmpics, he told me that in a big opening ceremony like this, lip sync is the best way(not the only way, but...) to perform for some technical reasons, but that doesn't mean they cannot sing. they are still a very good live band, right? dun be upset :)

[monoceres]

I'm not upset ;) Nor does I think Darren sings bad, I have heard real live versions and they sounded good. I was merely replying to

angeliquebernadette's stupid post.

[WALTAMAR]

ESTE VIDEO ES MUY BUENO.

[theauntiesisters468]

This is my favorite song! the lyrics/song tells the truth about life. uI don't care is the person is gay, it doesn't matter because they are all part of the world, and maybe life. ^^

[Concalious]

i believe that the world is different in how one gets to the stage in their life where they are standing somewhere or feeling something someone eles somewhere eles is feeling at the same time. so we may be different in looks, voice, place and famirly and freinds but we all exsperience the same stuff, or atleast someone eles has. so good comment about this song, it is a good one isnt it :)

[theauntiesisters468]

Yep!

[THPLF1994]

I agree with the song

[escosia04]

that brings back memories

[yazm1991]

this song is great

because everything he says is true

[infernoman224]

he makes more money than u so stop talkin

[daichinko]

apparently it's lip-sync

[HannahCBH]

if he was lip syncing.....you wouldn't hear his voice echo in his mic.....and you can

[JesusCruxBand]

if he wasn't lip syncing, why don't you check out the other live versions of affirmation and how crap they sound compared to this

not hating on Darren or anything, but you're an idiot if you can't tell this is obviously the album version

[chrisdiego10]

You are

[Littlewylee]

love these lyrics, love this song, love him like he is

[craziness0059]

a gay was preformed at the Olympics. showed the world we have more gays.

[RockyBalboa7777]

Would you mind explaining the relavence of Darren Hayes' sexuality to his music or the music of Savage Garden?

There is nothing wrong with being gay regardless, but I just don't see what it has to do with the music.

[craziness0059]

everything is wrong! being a gay is not nature.

[RockyBalboa7777]

Seriously, who gives a shit?

[craziness0059]

he sucks shit

[ClovisLima123]

are you gay?

[imperialphoenix]

I had no clue this was preformed at the Olympics. What a fitting venue for a meaningful song!

Bravo.

[craziness0059]

what a gay song for gays

[wrathtakethmeover]

That was profound..or idiotic. I'm going to go with idiotic.

[craziness0059]

it's simple. he is a gay

[wrathtakethmeover]

You did not say he was gay (which I knew but thank you ever so much for the update). You said the song was gay. As it is an inanimate object,I doubt it has a sexuality. So therefore, idiotic your comment remains.

[elpaso411]

savage garden sucks shit

[Sight19]

It doesn't and you don't have to listen to it.

[boredndmad]

Darren Hayes is gay. frankly thats his own choice. hes gay deal with it

[Jess111111111]

They are not gay yhoo nitwits lol :)

there as staright as a hetrosexual lol (that means straight )

[chocolatemilkshaker]

[GuateChecho]

The song is good but....

I belive who says this is gay (I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality).

After that i repet THE SONG IS VERY GOOD

[GuateChecho]

The song is good but....

I belive who says this is gay (I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality).

After that i repet THE SONG IS VERY GOOD

[Blakefe]

this is my faverit version of the song

[tonitors]

affirmation really reflect our personal views,,... i love this song since i first heard it during our retreat... naka-relate ko! hehehehe....

[bellatrueslytherin]

is darren gay ? i only started liking them a few weeks ago, so i dont no, but thats what one of the comments is saying! but S.G rule!

[aztecx]

they both dated each other... does that answer ur question?

[mummymoose]

darren and daniel never dated eachother. darren was married but came out of the closet a few years ago, daniel is now with kathleen from hi-5.

[HuntACharles]

Savage Garden kinda broke up when they broke up.

[chickwitadimple3]

darren and daniel never dated each other.

[michelle761017]

good lyrics, love this song!

[xpinkybabyhannahx]

I LOVE this song!! :D xxx

[soracman]

[JonasBrothersFan9407]

I love this song, and I think Savage Garden is really cool! Lol, but I only started liking them alot a few days ago. We listened to their music alot when we went on vacation, and their music got stuck in my head xD

[hihowareyou22]

the jonas brothers absolutely suck shit

[tymek1403]

Savage Garden nigy nie umrze... never die...

[richegee]

lethal tune

true as fuk all he says

ya dont know what ya got till ya lost it

miss my ex more thn life it self

[dannyy1994]

Great song! Though one funny thing is, he sings: I believe financial freedom isn't fair

I believe the only one to disagree are millionaires.

Yeah but Darren, you are a millionaire!!

Love this song though

[howrey101]

to his credit, just because the only people who disagree are millionaires doesn't mean that all millionaires disagree.

[shelsby]

He never says that they do. He just believes that the only ones who would disagree are millionaires.

[staraction]

For a second, i thought it was the Gay Games or the out games that happened sometime last year in europe...lol..he is so HOT, i love you Darren even though you are married to your sweetie hot bunny husband! lol..they make a sexy couple for sure...

[QueerSwede]

[molyneaux1985]

[mailmehardik]

[simtech113]

[MelieStar]

What you believe is true (to yourself) ;-)

[scc970]

Funnily enough as one of the most cynical bastards on this planet. I'd say that there ain't a lie in the whole song. I may hve to find out the whole truth of it soon. I'll report back lol

[aussiechiky]
