I just want to say that the moment of realization Toni had was fucking inspirational. Like, she went from full gut-punched about her childhood dream getting shot down straight into realizing that literally nobody can stop her from doing it her own damn self. I truly hope I can find that energy within myself when I need it.

They’d be lucky if she were kind enough to make THEM honorary members of HER choir!!! I’d rather her just wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors. ❤

I love how Toni not only cries at the actual ad but also cries at her own version of it. Beautifully done, you love to see it!

Yes, life is much better when we do it together but also, Toni went to WAAPA, learned music in the private system (I’m pretty sure through from a young age) and pushed through the ranks in the workforce over years and years; Toni has built her own pedestal as well.

Fucking love everyone who went out to help Toni! This was rad as hell

The things they do for each other are just so damn wholesome. They are literally the best friends everybody wishes they had

Absolutely magnificent. If your mum had never "lied" to you, you would never have done this today. And that is the beauty of you having "missed" that moment of being a part of this choir as a kid - Because this moment now is 1000 times more enriching and meaningful, it just has "PURPOSE" written all over it! Stunning Toni. So powerful!😭

Toni, your voice is so pretty. So awesome of Ryan to do this for her. I just love the special friendship between them. Bravo, Toni.

The epitome of ‘start the f**king blog’! So happy to see Toni’s dream come true!!!

Despite never having heard that song before I was just taken on a major life journey and back. Congrats Toni!

Ok but I’m actually crying with Toni, for her, all of it. I’m hoping to move to Australia one day and it’s a bit of a question mark right now but this was just beautiful. I love how much it meant to her 💚💛

Toni crying on an airplane to "I still call Australia home" is so precious.

Sheesh, I’m an American and I cried at the song and Toni getting that opportunity. Well done, well sung ❤❤

All Aussies cry at this song. Especially on return flights home when Qantas plays it during take off. But it's heartwarming that people from other countries can hear it and get emotional too. Peter Allen was one hell of a song writer

And can I just say Toni & Ryan are best friend goals! Love how they support each other’s dreams.

The smile beaming on Toni’s face is what I love to see 💜🇦🇺

I love how supportive their friendship is. Toni says, ' I always wanted to do this thing'. Ryan says, 'I will do literally anything I can to help you do this thing. LITERALLY ANYTHING.' The man flew with her all over the country to film and help organize her playing out her childhood dream. I need a friend like Ryan!

That was so short-sighted of them. What a gem of a Qantas add it would be with all the choir and the Toni in a cameo…… love your work guys.

This was every Aussie kids dream, I literally cried watching this! ❤ so good

Love how Toni went "Fuck it, I'll do it myself"! You go girl!

Oh Toni... Your version made me cry just as much as the official one always does. Such a beautiful voice girl.

The singing, the videography, the iconic backgrounds of some of the most gorgeous places in Aus. A recipe for perfection!!! Toni you're amazing and thank you Ryan and Cam for helping make this dream come to life. You're all legends ❤

Brings a tear everytime I hear this iconic song that Peter Allen gave us. Toni proving to us all that dreams do come true ✨️

I know I lived in Melbourne only 10 years but that brought a tear to my eyes, too. Wonderful.

Toni made me cry. This was so endearing and lovely. I was in the traveling children’s choir in my city in the US. We competed and that year’s big international meetup and competition was in Australia. Memories. You have a lovely voice Toni.

It's three in the morning and I'm WEEPING like a baby, goodness me. You go, Toni! What an amazing friend Ryan is.

This is some of the most wholesome content I have ever seen on KZread. As a fellow singer, I love this, and appreciate getting to witness your guys' friendship! You guys make me belly laugh with every video I've seen, which is saying something. ♥️ Keep up the great work! 😊

You BUGGERS, I'm still.CRYING.... ..ZI love the song and it makes me cry...Toni..I love you darling girl ......

I’d also love to call Australia home one day. Thank you both, and your team, for sharing your stories with us. ❤

That was beautiful, guys. I never teared up during the original ads, but I'm bawling like a baby now. I'm so glad you finally got to make your dream come true!

This video made me emotional. Sometimes things don't go our way in life, but there is always a work around to make our dreams come true, even if it's in an unconventional way. Thank you Toni and Ryan for inspiring me💕

😲Bravo.. Beautiful.... !!!!! loved it..!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

As an American I'm so grateful for KZread because I was able to find Toni and Ryan. Toni, you're voice is beautiful and I'm so glad you took matters into your own hands. You're lovely, my girl. ❤ And Ryan, you are such a good man and supportive friend. ❤to you too.

I got literal chills from this. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL singing from Toni. I'm so happy for you accomplishing something you've always dreamed of, and all by yourself as well. You are truly inspiring! I wish I could like this video a million times. 💕 Oh yeah, and great camera work from Ryan.

All I can say is...I visited my girlfriend for the first time in Australia this past summer and I was so incredibly impressed by Quantas airlines. Not only do they have extremely impressive and heartwarming ads, but they had the comfiest seats on any of the planes I had to take (3 different planes coming from Canada) and the biggest movie selection. Also love the long flight package with the blanket and toothbrush. I was very happy with Quantas. OH and I have to mention the in flight wifi for Australian flights! any flights within Australia (not overseas) have full wifi access! The whole time! I was able to play online chess with my girlfriend while on the plane from Perth to Sydney and it helped SO MUCH with having to say goodbye to her after being together for 2 months straight. I didn't feel completely cut off from her. Thank you Quantas

As an Aussie living the USA ( for 20 yrs now ) , This was F@#king Awesome , well done and TY for the tears ,,,

Congratulations Toni on not only reaching your dream, but going full on to all of the places instead of green screening it! 🎉. Beautiful Voice ❤ Ryan, I am so glad to see the length you will go to for your friend. Makes me happy to know that this support is alive in the world ❤

You did Australia proud, Toni!

I don't have many people in my life but since I discovered your videos a few months ago, instantly felt like I was home. You are the most wholesome, genuine and good natured folks and watching you through my phone is like being at a Christmas bbq with my family as a child. Thank you both! And I'm so glad someone else gets teary watching those freaking adverts, always struck my heart strings!

Oh my god - this is amazing. The commitment! Glorious.

Did not think this would make me cry, it was so beautiful. Toni, you have an amazing singing voice. Love you guys ❤ thanks for sharing with us.

After 9 months in Europe I flew home on Qantas and I forgot all about this song. Before take off they played it as usual and I couldn't help balling. It just deeply reminded me how much I truly love and missed my home.

I’m so happy for Toni🥹Her childhood dream came true and she nailed it, amazing job!!

Toni: "Sorry, I've got snot everywhere." Ryan That's friendship!

Toni... Voice of an ANGEL Bronx Love guyz 😎

Wow Toni's voice is fucking phenomenal, and so are all the people who went above & beyond to make her dream come true - you're all incredible ❤🧡💚💛💙💜🤎🖤🤍

We are so lucky to live in the most beautiful place on earth, and seeing Toni show off our country and get to live her childhood dream really got me tearing up.

So amazing to see the video come together. So proud of you Toni! Thanks for letting me be a part of the Sydney crowd, it was so special to join the other fans and share in the moment and get to meet both you and Ryan!

Beautiful. Made this old American cry.

And this is why I love being Australian... We do everything for our mates to see them happy!!!

This genuinely made me tear up! Toni has such a great voice, I'm so happy for her!

I served 6 years in the US Navy, and some of my best memories are with Australians around the world. Toni and Ryan are such joy to watch and their good humor always makes me nostalgic for the friends I've made. However, their goofy antics always round into very wholesome content which I think speaks to their good nature. Congrats for this little dream coming true, and I'm very happy for you making this dream a reality. Something we all can be inspired by.

I didn’t think I would cry. But here I am crying my eyes out. Well done!!

When Toni started crying at the end, I bawled my eyes out. So proud of you Toni, you killed it! ❤🎉

Petition for Toni to get the choir’s attention & now be recruited. Also participation trophy for Ryan being the most supportive bff

I sang with the Australian childrens choir when I was younger while touring Australia and New Zealand with my choir the Phoenix Boys Choir. That was back in 1999. Gosh I feel so old now you would have only been 5 or so at that time. I loved Melbourne and Cairns the best. Beautiful scenery all throughout the country especially woman such as your self Toni, laden the whole country. You have a beautiful angelic voice and I would love to hear you sing more.

Awwwwwwwwww Toni, now I’m crying! You’re not the only one to dream of being in those ads, but you may be the one to hold onto the dream the longest. You sound beautiful, this is by far my favourite version of the qantas ad. Ryan I still haven’t forgiven you for the hairdressers towels, you’re still a bushpig

This was so fantastic and it had all of the feels. My sisters and I would totally have been there to sing with you if we were local. Your voice is so gorgeous ❤️

Amazing Toni! I'm not from Australia, but this was gorgeous.

Still got me sobbing each time! Great job Toni! Back in 1999/2000 i was in the SBS TV Radio Choir & we were part of the grand opening of what was back then called Stadium Australia which I think is now the Accor stadium in Sydney Olympic Park. I remember also needing to learn those Latin songs/hymns?!

I LOVE watching these two together, I's a TRUE friendshisp, SO RARE x

I’m not Australian and yet here I am WEEPING

I'm BAWLING omg I loved this so much. You two are such sweet friends ❤

Been hooked on you 2 for a hot minute now, Ryan is cute and Toni is badass hilarious - but this just absolutely melted my heart. Please stay friends forever, and keep up the good work as long as you are able!! I promise to keep watching! Much love from Ohio, USA.

This is the most beautiful display of don't let anyone stop you reaching your dreams! Toni could of taken that no and given up but instead her and Ryan went above and beyond to make it a reality and Toni it is beautiful!❤❤❤

I'm not Australian, but I genuinely got chills seeing and hearing you and everyone sing 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I’m so proud of you Toni. Legit sobbing right now 😭😭😭❤

"Everyone shut the fuck up; l'll just do it myself!" - Toni. (I WANT THIS ON A TSHIRT)

Now I'm gonna f***ing cry. OMG. Just beautiful.

I actually cried happy tears for her!! I just wanna hug her for never giving up and you ryan for helping make her young Toni dream come true!!! Love y’all!!

Visited Australia 32 years ago - got an audiotape with Ozzie songs and I still get chocked up when I think of the version of that song - Good On Ya Girl!

Wow Toni has got some pipes! I love the friendship between these two. It’s so clear they care so much for each other.

Beautiful voice, almost made me cry, wait for it, tears are a falling

Where's the "Love!!!!!!!!" Button ok KZread! This is freaking awesome! What great friends!

Guys, this is glorius!!!! WELL DONE!! QANTAS ad department must be shaking right now..

This made me cry. I literally just listened the episode where you try to organize this and now YT wanted me to see this and its so perfect

I was torn between joy and sadness when Toni began to cry. I think I'll stick with joy because happiness is better. This also showed me that only one of my friends is if Ryan John quality. He is the best best friend ever and I wanna hug him. Then listening to Toni sing made me tear up and I'm not Australian.

Goosebumps! Toni! Ryan! Awww! My heart! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

I get the crying now. This made me cry! I love your friendship. ❤
