Worst national anthem in the history the Grand Final?
Anyone else disappointed with those two muppets butchering the national anthem yesterday?
I was looking forward to belting it out then screaming a big 'Go Sainters' at the end but after the pathetic musical tricks they tried to play the whole mood seemed a bit subdued...

Actually, didn't hear clearly most of the pre match entertainment. The speakers at the Saints CS end of the ground leave a lot to be desired......

The whole prematch everything was poor!

She sounded OK on the TV on the replay. However, at the ground, she was drowned out by the Saints singing the song in the CS end of the ground. The entire M3 and surrounding bays drowned her out. Sensational effort!saint1974 wrote:+1jmac101 wrote:Anyone else disappointed with those two muppets butchering the national anthem yesterday?

PS: Sining the Saints song through the Pies song was pretty good as well.....

Yes.
This with a topic of conversation at half time.
FFS just sing it how its meant to be sung. How it should be, like it shoud be.
and IMHO the women who 'jazzed' up Oh When The Saints Go Marchin In.. terrible also..
but I did very much enjoy Inxs .. JD Fortune is a little bit of eye candy.

National Anthem was the best rendition I've ever heard and the Australian Symphony Orchestra doing the club songs was also great.
INXS were great twenty years ago. Michael is dead, they should not desecrate his memory with a reality show joke. Shame AFL shame.

that was my problem with it you could not follow it along cause they did different speedsSainterK wrote:It wasn't that it was sung badly, it's more people want to sing along, and it was unpredictable in it's melody.
I agree, just stick with Julie, purely because it's predictable and everyone know just when to let the roar out

Who WAS that singing the National Anthem?? Was it that McKenna duo from the US?..and if so what happened to them singing that footy song they wrote with Dennis Cometti. Im quite partial to that
Thought Paris Wells and the MSO were terrific. in M10 the sound was far better than it was for INXS and you could belt out the song (and we did!!) and still hear Paris, unlike every week at Etihad when if you sing it louder than a whisper you cant hear the recorded version
Less said about INXS the better....thought they just went through the motions and the staged "cheering crowd" in front of them was just embarassing

Yeah, I agree. I'm pretty sure it was the father and son from Australia's Got Talent.SainterK wrote:It wasn't that it was sung badly, it's more people want to sing along, and it was unpredictable in it's melody.

If anything, it was because they sung it with an acoustic backing that made it difficult to get into. The tape they normally play has a full orchestral backing, and the atmosphere (roar) is amazing as that concludes.

The McKenna duo were going to sing 'Last man standing' while the winning team did a lap at the end.
