Neighbours duet the next perfect blend

Neighbours judges are unable to split Aussie & UK vocalists and settle on a duet for their new-look TV theme.

_MG_0955Neighbours new-look TV theme will be a duet sung by Australian Stephanie Angelini and Brit Daniel Boys following a tied decision after its contest for a new vocalist.

Judges Barry Crocker, Executive Producer Richard Jasek and Music Director Chris Pettifer were unable to split the vocals of finalists Angelini and Boys.

“Both Stephanie and Daniel have exquisite voices and together created a harmony which took us all by surprise. We couldn’t let the opportunity go to put these extraordinary performers together and the end result has far exceeded all expectations,” said Jasek.

Original theme song vocalist Barry Crocker said, “Both Daniel and Stephanie are delightful ambassadors for their respective countries, not to mention terrific singers. I think the duet is a wonderful rendition of the Neighbours theme and harks back to the original I recorded 28 years ago.”

For Angelini the news was also a welcome 21st birthday present.

“For someone starting out in the music industry, it’s an incredible opportunity and I’m honoured to sing with Daniel such a great theme tune to an iconic Australian series. I’ve been a fan of Neighbours for many years and to know that our voices will be heard on the show every night, that is just incredible,”she said.

“I’m so happy right now. This whole competition and trip here has been amazing,” added Boys.

“Stephanie is such a lovely girl and the outcome could not have been better. I can’t wait for the public to hear the new theme sung by us.”

The new version will feature on the opening titles from next Monday (April 15) in Australia and in the UK in May.

  1. @Aaliyah, as I said from what I saw, it said the 8th. @Tomothyd if you watch the youtube video of them recording you will see that they are both talented but together they are amazing.

  2. Stephanie wasn’t my favourite out of the Aussies, but I think her rendition has a great feel to it and is both vocally stronger and distinct than Daniel’s voice/version.

    However, I think a duet is a wonderful idea and something to keep the UK and AUS fans happy if either side were to be unhappy about losing.

  3. Daniel’s version was the best. It makes me wonder if this was planned all along, this way no country complains that the other won.
    “Why is a Brit singing an Australian TV theme?”, “Oh of course an Aussie would win” are comments that would have been expected.
