Jemma Rix Melbourne Cup 2014 

I never really knew what perfection looked/sounded like... and then I watched this......... PERFECTION!

She was spectacular!!!!!! I missed it when it was on TV and I have been dying to see it. And now its here!!! As for wicked, She is without a doubt the best Elphie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing & stunning performance ! I never thought anyone could top Vanessa Amorosi with this song - and her performance of it at the Sydney Olympics is an absolute favourite of mine that gets played a lot - but this woman is impressive ! We have some amazing talent here :) You did Australia proud Jemma Rix. Just wonderful :)

Just incredible vocals - Jemma Rix truly is one of the best female Aussie voices

It brought tears to my eyes, moving, spiritual, powerful. Jemma Rix and Vanessa Amorosi are one of us and I am so proud.

With a range that fit the song perfectly, and delivered in a way anthems should be delivered - clearly, confidently and with absolute conviction - Jemma Rix, finally, has given Australians that rare thing: a joyous, uplifting rendition, and one we should forever be proud of.

Wonderful Jemma!

Powerful song. I was one of the choir members and it was exhilarating to be part of it all..

The most powerful and amazing voice ever, greatest talent on stage, well done Jemme

She's so beautiful. I'm so glad that I got to meet her once after wicked, I was literally screaming after that

beautiful beyond words! Both - the voice and the woman that comes with it

What a voice and what a beautiful Aussie woman!!!

Wow, absolutely stunning!

Such a powerful voice! Reminds me so much of Julie Anthony. Only two renditions I've heard that seem worthy to sing the National Anthem. Hopefully will get to see her in Wicked soon :)

May not have been the most appropriate song but man, can that girl sing! Just shows what a properly trained voice can do. None of the current nasally screeching you see on the TV 'talent' shows. Open your mouth, breath deeply and sing from the diaphram. She is a joy to listen to.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I missed it by about 2 minutes on tv. Jemma Rix is absolutely amazing! I wish I could be as talented as her

Phenomenonal

I can't get it out of my head that this is Elphie singing in tribute to Glinda after leaving Oz… Actually, totally picturing it as a duet (Glinda singing parts while holding that green bottle and remembering Elphie). Oh, now I've made myself sad.

I’ve never seen Vanessa sing this song live, but Jemma Rix did it. She’s amazing, that’s a hard song.

Well Gets What Jemma Rix I Have Vanessa Amorosi’s Version Of Hero’s Live Forever On The Opening Ceremony Of The 2000 Olympic Games A Sydney Celebration 2000 DVD

the original is vanessa amorosi

She is good but she is still a bit short of Amorosi at the end. Amorosi sang the final note at Olympics without taking a breath.

Wonderful voice but the aspect ratio of this video is messed up

I really don't think Heros Live Forever is a suitable song for a sport that revolves around gambling. I have seen it sung at the Olympics and Bledisloe and I am quite disappointed by its use yesterday. Sung beautifully though...

Love the choir that aren't even mic'ed and the drum fills the guy pretends to play when he's still holding his brushes. This is all mimed to playback people.

Frank Rizzo, how do you know it's prerecorded? she seemed to hit it way too on point for her to be lip synching that. I wasn't there (wish I had been, but America is pretty far away lol) but from what I see she looks to be actually singing it.

Was that a G#5 belt at 2.55? How does she even do that?

What is the song please ? 😄 she is so amazing ! 😍

Who is she and where is she today.

Amazing rendition by this wonderful lady. Please also check out my male version of this song but don't be too harsh with me, since I don't claim to be a good singer.
