God Save The Queen & God Defend New Zealand - Hayley Westenra (NZ War Memorial Ceremony London 2006)

Hayley ヘイリー 海莉 singing the National Anthems of the United Kingdom and New Zealand at the dedication ceremony of the New Zealand War Memorial on 11 November 2006 at Hyde Park, London. This took place in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen, other members of the Royal Family, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark and the Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair.

God Save The Queen and God Defend New Zealand have equal status as the official National Anthems of New Zealand.

This version recorded from Sky News TV by Steve Hayter for HWI, edited and belatedly uploaded by Dave Ludlow nearly three years late (oops!)

oh answered my own question :p

Question to all New Zealanders: Did you know that "God Save the Queen" was also an official anthem of NZ? Because honestly I had no idea and was kinda shocked after learning about it. The question is: why?

@Lukeclout A good baritone could do it. Footballers aren't the best example. LOL.

[preagle60657]

My goodness, but she has a beautiful voice. The anthems are themselves beautiful, but....

[Lukeclout]

@Sophieluvable The Australian and Canadian national anthem was designed to sing in a high pitch female tone, it is not one that is designed to suit every tone in music. It does sounds good when you get someone like Hayley to sing it but when you got a bunch of low pitch footballers singing it it is definately not the best anthem in the world. The British and nz anthem was designed to be sang in every tone and thus sounds alot better

@Lukeclout really? you think our anthem sounds good? My dad loves the aussie anthem and he wants to live there but he says its too hot for him! BTW i'm from new zealand :)
