10/10 from me, which will surprise no one here who knows me, but I’m interested to hear what you guys think, especially people from the US who might not be as familiar with the song or the two artists.
I have been lucky enough to see both artists live.
This gets a wild 9.5/10.
Yeah they both know how to put on an awesome live show. Speaking of which, this performance where they reunited is great, you can really feel the love and respect they have for each other

Chick?? That’s the queen of Australia you’re talking about there!
😉😛
And honourary Queen of Europe 🤗

Obviously Australia doesn't have a queen, so I guess you're saying she's popular there?
😎
Kylie’s been reasonably popular here over the past 30 years, yes. She’s been called a national treasure 🙂
As Kate said, she’s loved by many in Europe too. America is one of the few places where household name status has eluded her.
Never heard of her, but okay then.
😎
Not even this song? It was a pretty big hit in the US

Oh her. Yeah, I remember that song.

Queen Elizabeth is Head of State of Australia.
share
No she's not. The PM is.
😎
Hownos is actually closer to the mark. Queen Elizabeth is the sovereign of Australia and is represented locally by the Governor General. Both could be considered head of state, but that rank is not officially recognised in the Australian constitution.
share
Nope. The Australian PM is the head of state. The Queen is just a figurehead.
😎
I looked up my government’s website and it appears Hownos was correct all along:

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. My apologies for correcting you howie
Horse shit.
😎
Lol
Ok, but you’ll have to take it up with Australian Government, their rules, not mine 🤷♂️
Nah, not gonna bother, cause I know I'm right.
😎
How American of you lol
share
Thanks! So what are you, TS?
😎
Australian, mate 🐨
Good on ya, mate!
I booked a tour to your country for September, but they canceled it because of covid, blah, blah, blah. I will reschedule because I can hardly wait to visit your amazing country!
😎
Nice! I hope you can reschedule your trip here soon. Let me know if you want any tips for good places to see, I’ve done a fair bit of travel in different parts of the country through the years 🙂👍

Thanks! Any tips would be greatly appreciated. The 20 day tour is scheduled to visit Melbourne, Hobart, the Tasman Peninsula, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Uluru, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, a ride on the Ghan Train, Katherine, Darwin, Kakadu National Park, Cairns, Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney.
The Tour Co. currently plans to resume tours in April 2022. The key word here of course, is currently.

It's the same in Canada. The Queen is head of state. The Governor General is her representative. The Prime Minister is head of government.
sharePrime Ministers are never a head of state. They are a head of government. The Prime Minister of Israel is not the head of state. They have a President who is head of state.
shareHere's the question I've always wondered, What can the Queen do, and not be stopped by Parliament, or the Prime Minister. Other than Charities, which are great, what does she and the royal family do?
sharethe queen's main role is to sign legislation into law. if she or any of her successors ever refused to sign that would trigger a constitutional crisis and the end of the monarchy. it's a useless ceremonial role and i wish canada would become a republic and be rid of it.
shareOh so she does actually sign laws, I didn't know that...

shareHmmm. I was never super fond of the song, but I'd never seen the video before. I like the video more than the song.

shareWhen this came out I was like 'what the hell is this? This isn't a pop song'. I think it went number 1 in Australia. It was a grower as I eventually enjoyed it.
