I did not see where is the Remigio's mistake. He said about union. Great error is they separate because of this.

Your group has never been the same. And I see that you're not on the circuit like you used to be.

I feel for you but this thing was blown out of proportion! People need to move on!

I think the people got over it. Highjacked? What? Nightmare? I am so happy Remi isn't with you guys. I believe in each country have a song. I find it difficult to believe the problem this has created.

The best reward for your lack of backbone is the reaction of your fans and how you are rated today. It's embarrassing you took yourselves so seriously that you forgot the great message.

18 minute conversation LOL. CBC hasn't spent this much time on a story since elbowgate.

Shame on you, ALL LIFES MATTER

Seriously I cannot believe they dedicated 20 minutes to this. This is an incredible NON-STORY.

As a long time fan of The Tenors,in no way do I support their decision to take such offense to what happened.Where's the grace and love you sing about? Were they just words on a page? Lyrics to a song? Clearly what was meant for evil,God will and has turned into good for Remigio and his family.

Almost 3 years later I still can't grasp the fact that 3 members of one group would knife the back of one of they're brothers, Its clear now you had used this to fulfill your personal agenda's. The truth has come out. Karma, you lost your greatest Tenor, Remi's voice carried that group. I won't even listen to any stuff without Remigio in it.

tenors are gutless. i support support the "lone wolf." innocent people are being shot down in the streets and as a proud Canadian that matters more than the lyrics of our anthem.

So sad to see this backstabbing. Only recently discovered this group and loved watching and listening to them until I saw this clip.will never watch them again!

Remi give them 28 days to make payment or you are selling your story to the newspapers. Think none of the newspapers will take your story? Of course they will .....They will take it to sell papers. Peace & Love to you x

Holy cow, the lack of backbone on these guys is amazing. I'm surprised they are even able to stand upright.

Grow a pair and get over it guys. The message was one of piece and love. I love your music, but Remi is a big loss for your group. His voice cannot be replaced. The dynamic is not the same......😔😔

As someone who doesn't watch sports and had never heard of these guys before today, I don't understand all the fuss. I'm not even sure I know all the words perfectly to Canada's anthem, despite living my whole life here. Canada is much more to me than a tune. This just doesn't matter to me.

two years on, the other side has come out, fans and the general public realize what game you've played here. Shameful how you handled this, not to mention the legal gun fight you're dragging out..., the public knows the truth...., do the right thing, resolve these outstanding issues, move on...you're fans will forgive you.

Crisis Management.....You made a big mistake removing Remi from the group. Of course now you're obligated to compensate Pereira for his 10 year commitment to your success. Royalty's past, present and future. Remember you're reputation, character is the one thing that people will judge you by, and you're not looking so good right now. Do the right thing.

Glad to see most commenting here are not falling for this crap.

"We do not support his political stance." If his political stance is that no one life is more important than another life, that all people are equally worthy of living regardless of race, religion, orientation, cultural background, etc., that no one deserves special treatment, but equal and fair treatment...I'd say that's worth supporting. These guys just don't want the criticism that comes with any kind of controversial statement. Political correctness is like a viper in the grass. You don't notice it at first, it's stealthy and cunning; you typically don't notice it until it's too late, and it strikes. Its poison will slowly eat away at the foundations of our constitutional right of free speech. That said, I do understand why "All Lives Matter" is considered controversial. It's like a movement to try to lessen the message of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Black community has been feeling they receive an unfair amount of judgment and harsher treatment, and so saying "All Lives Matter" is like saying their pleas are not worth hearing, and so lessens the significance of the Black community's message specifically. The important thing to remember, though, is that the Black Lives Matter movement is right to a degree. Blacks DO deserve equal treatment to anyone else. A person should be judged by their actions and behavior/attitude, not by the color of their skin. However, it is the radical movement within Black Lives Matter that is coming forward that the All Lives Matter movement is rising against. Radical Black Lives Matter is for violence, chaos, rioting, anger, racial tension, etc., and is getting to the point it is almost pushing for special treatment instead of equal treatment. It is this radical, extreme version of Black Lives Matter that people are upset about. All Lives Matter! Everyone does deserve to be treated equally. If you look at it objectively, All Lives Matter and the original intent and message behind Black Lives Matter are one in the same: equal treatment for everyone.

At least something good has come out of all this....Remi is about to release his new solo album VOX INAUDITO and I can't wait because we will hear his dulcet tones from beginning to end instead of a couple of lines thrown at him previously. To listen to a preview of a selection of his songs go to " Remigio Pereira The Voice of a Tenor " you will be amazed

The Tenors, as a group, is my ultimate favorite and I have always feared that the group would disband before I even get the chance to watch them perform. And then, I found out about this yesterday. THIS IS SO SADDENING. The Tenors will not be the same without Remigio, but I really do understand the sentiments of Victor, Fraser and Clifton. Anyway, whatever happens I will LOVE and SUPPORT the four of you! You will always be the great Tenors for me! Stay strong and may God bless you always!

Fraser, Clifton, and Victor - It is really sad to see this wall that has been built up between you and Remi over this incident. What made you guys so great was that you were a team and a family for more than 10 years! Your band is not the same without Remi and a piece of you died when you split. I can understand the betrayal you must feel since Remi did not discuss what he planned to do at the MLB game with you in advance. But you guys have always been about exhibiting love and that means forgiveness for Remi. Life is way too short!! It is very clear to me that he regrets his actions and his soul mourns for you all. He didn't mean any harm by what he did. You have so many fans....make us proud by showing forgiveness. Everyone will feel much better if you did. You all have suffered enough.

This is so heartbreaking. "Brothers" who value an anthem, a song, over their partner of 10 years. Makes me question the songs of love, peace, brotherhood that I came to love from The Canadian Tenors. I just can't help believing this was discussed among the three long before this baseball game. Understanding played no part. You all know what Remigio Pereira stands for. 10 years, and you're acting like this was the most disgusting incident you have ever experienced. The bloody anthem was changed by Justin Trudeau. Were you disgusted with him? Sad is how I feel when I see how you cut Remigio out of your lives. Pay him what you owe him, you each know personally what he has done for each of you. Speak personally to him, rather than your lawyer, and let him go. You have moved on, and he is moving on to a great solo career. Sincerely, Lynda Klodt

Remi Is Amazing All This Crying Only Makes Me love Remi More Not Because Of His Intent Because He Is One Of The Most Talented Performers I Have Ever Had The Privilege To Watch Remi Is So Awesome !~~!!~ He Is So Talented I Wish Him The Very Best on His Solo Career I Support And Follow Remi !!~~~!~

Jeeee.... There are worse things in the world than this.

I would be mad too if I were one of the tenors. Forgiving is often challenging.

Almost a year?? Amazing that as "brothers" you chose to go corporate speak. Get your priorities straight and as he is still 25%owner, pay him what you owe him and let him go. "Sacred anthem" wins over "brothers all are we?" Shameful

I met Remi, Victor, Clifton and Fraser in Cary, NC in their early days before they blew up on the scene. This was right after Oprah. They all were incredibly friendly, kind with brotherly love. They all sang about love, forgiveness and genuine healing. My take on these guys are something special and it is a shame that Remi found himself with the scarlet letter on his chest. Did the others believe in forgiveness? Love? Stand by a brother? Or was it their career, the money. It is sad they sang with such conviction and compassion, yet their lives did not hold true to their hearts. I'm sure it was heated after the Canadian fiasco locker room. Leaders respond positively without pressure from the lynch mobs and the three cowards, Victor-Fraser-Clifton, should be ashamed of abandoning their brother over a poor decision. They are franticly trying to salvage their cowardly careers by dodging and ignoring the ousting of a wonderful human being. My take on Victor is most likely a standup guy and most likely struggled with the friction between Clifton, Fraser and Remi. Image is everything to Clifton and Fraser along with success. It is a sad situation as they sang at one point in their career. The group may try but will never be the same without Remi. They are stained not because of Remi but because of their fraudulent message they sang prior to the event proven by their own unforgivingness. I wish Remi great success. Victor as well. They certainly were strong all four together.

Investigating today what happened to The Tenors, I discovered this fiasco ( had not heard about it previously). I can see both sides. Why would Remi do this on his own....opening up a can of worms. I can see why the remaining 3 members would be angry; however, I would like to think the 4 of them would eventually talk it out and come together. A ten year association should count for something. We all make mistakes.

Bunch of sale outs. Sad, they were awesome.

Victor!! YOU KNOW Remi moved to Canada as an infant. He is no more American than you. Smh Corporate speak?

This is the saddest thing I’ve heard. You guys need to remember your faith and practice forgiveness.

Ha! Well at least Remi takes a stand on things.He cares for all lives&YES,ALL LIVES MATTER!GET OVER YOURSELVES.

Remigio was their anchor.......without him they are just a boy band.

OMG, such drama queens.

Ok. Im american and i think he was sold out

These two are backstabbing Remigio. Yes it was a mistake. Are they perfect? Don't they believe in forgiveness and moving on? Unbelievable!!! Get over yourselves!

He was your friend and a person you've worked with for years now I know what's going on I will not watch y'all anymore

All lives do matter

I loved it! Such a beautiful statement. "#All lives matter"

Ridiculous! Who cares!

So whiny.

Who are they, and why is this news?

PLEEEEZE....bring back Remi! The three of you are wonderful BUT it feels like there is a piece missing from the masterpiece that was The Tenors. Remi made a mistake. He's human. Your fans get that, and want him back anyway. Tell your agents and advisors to take a flying leap if they give you a hard time. Take back the reins of your destiny. It's up to you to show the world that you are the caliber of men that your work and talent personifies. Lead with your hearts. Stay Forever Young. This is not Con Te Partiro but Neesun Dorma. Hallelujah!

I don't care what your politics are. National anthem at a baseball game in a country that's not even your own is not the time or place for this.

I cannot believe three of four friends just turned your backs on your friend. He made a mistake. You wouldn't even talk to him after and just cut him loose. You all disappoint me, sounding like pious little souls. Your music since Remi is gone is not the same. You have lost this fan.

They need to get him back. All lives do matter. He may have picked the wrong time to do this, but it's over. Move on, forgive.

Now, I am not Canadian so I want to be careful in what I say here OK. Personally, changing words to a National Anthem is not something that should be done as it will be classed as disrespect to the Country, BUT, the message that was given, although in the wrong place at the wrong time, is something that I do believe in. If the guys can eventually get past this and the three can put their differences of the one, aside, people will still love what they do. I mean Remigio Pereira makes a damned good vampire and I have read about him and his beliefs, and like I said, I think many people believe the same about peace, love and honesty. So, looking as an outsider I think it has blown up out of proportion a bit and if they each sit down and talk, they could work this out and carry on doing what they do best and that is all sing together again. Each of them has a unique sound and in harmony all four voices go very well together. I really do hope that they can settle this and move forward as a group of four tenors. I hope I have not upset anyone with my opinion.

Arrogance doesn't dismiss ignorance...

Shame on you

Fired. Thrown under the bus. And I don't blame them. After this fiasco, they'll probably never get another chance to represent their country. And they seem to care about that. On the grand scale, it's not that big a deal, we've been parody-ing our own anthem for decades. But I could have done without a parody that equates Canada with Fox News.

The tenors made a really bad move, I guess they think of it as damage control. business decision. Lean On Me. Should call it ....Push comes to shove....! Big mistake guys, You should apologize to Remi, ask him to come back.

I can't believe that a national news network spent almost 19 minutes talking about nothing but this! Don't they have real issues to cover?

Please forgive, he completes you, and I cannot imagine anyone taking his place. Move on with Remi

Its sad what these guys did to remi. I am no longer a fan. They may sing beautifully but they just showed themselves to be cowardly.

I want to see all of you in person canadian tennor i am really admire your group. Godbless

I heard The Tenors sing yesterday, December 1, 2021, in Winnipeg. Absolutely PHENOMENAL Concert! A national treasure!!!

Omg who cares! Nobody died. These guys just lost a fan. He shouldn't have been kicked out! He meant will, Every life matters move on.

Songs including Anthems were all written by mortal men!....God created all nations and all tribes and to him All Lives do indeed matter!....Do you honestly think that God will give a Damn whether or not his message was included in any Anthem?.......Anthems only mean something to men...Anthems do not mean a thing to God because the whole World is his Anthem...not just a country ,,,,and we all need to realize that and when you have done the right thing for the right reasons No apology in needed!....

A few months ago a woman changed the canadian lyrics to the anthem. singing...Our home on Native land, instead of Our home and Native Land. Of course very little was said against her, perhaps its because its 10 years later. she's a woman, a person of colour. She continues to do this, yet barely raises an eyebrow. is it because she's a woman, Rosanne made a mess out of the anthem. people were furious, so that's not it. Is it because it happened in Canada and not the states, so the media doesn't milk everything and blow it out of perportion? Ya thats it, Kinda like the current Bud Light Scandal. Doesn't raise an eyebrow in Canada or outside the USA but Americans are losing their minds over it. In time people will see and understand what Remi's actions were about. He'll be called a hero then. There will be a movie made about REmi's story one day. Mark my words, it will happen.

I appreciate the explanation. Looks like they were ambushed.

you say you were sick to your stomach I'm sick to my stomach listening to y'all you should have stood behind him or did you not pay attention to what he was saying all people matter all things on the earth matters y'all have a double standard I'm disappointed in you

You Tenors are all blessed. You are gifted. Stay focused. Remember who you are.

TRUE NORTH!

YOU ARE NO GOOD FRIENDS OS REMIGIO HE IS THE BEST

Wow These are the most back stabbing people who don't deserve friends, fans or a future if they can not forgive.

I am very disappointed with what happened at the major league all star game. What Remigio did was very wrong. The tenors were asked to be able to sing the Canadian national anthem for a reason. I feel so bad for the other members of the group. He should not have changed the lyrics. I do not think Remigio should be able to be with the group.

I absolutely LOVE you guys....my Tenors!!! I respect whatever you decide about this controversy going forward. No matter what, I will still and always love you! Bless you!

I have heard them singing since Remi left and they are not a strong group even with the two new members sometimes they sound out of tune

I can’t believe people are trivializing what happened that day. It’s not like the Tenors were singing the anthem for an NHL game in Edmonton. They were in the US where just the week before 2 black men were killed in separate incidents at the hands of the police, and 5 police officers were killed by a sniper at a BLM protest. Talk about an emotional and political hotbed. Plus, it had been known for 2 years that the term “All Lives Matter” was controversial and why. Did Remigio expect that his message would magically transcend controversy across ALL demographics and heal America’s wounds? Even after seeing other celebrities try and fail with that slogan? And then to criticize the other 3 for not coming to his defense. How does one defend such disturbing behaviour? I’m proud of the other 3 for taking the stand they did.

Please please Tenors you must go on. You are amazing men with huge talent. This was one person who took it on alone. No this is not fair to the three of you.I know you will get through this with all the support from your families and fans. Really believe in what you do and why you do it. As one of your biggest fans you will grow stronger and move forward. The world needs you to do what you do best. I wish all of you good luck you deserve it.

You guys have alleviated the shame. Your response is adequate. The only thing better (which you did not need to do), was to knock him out and swing your mic's and drop them and proclaim............."WE ARE OUT"....... still proud of you guys.......................Play on boys......I support you.

Remigios heart was was in the right place! Y’all were a bit too harsh to kick him out of the group!

I always look at the 'business' between the lines ... Remigio Pereira did that prank to get the news cycle ... what a terrible way to go off on his own ... there was ten years of brotherhood ... and what Mr. Pereira ignited was a message of social substance ... but the three left made it more of a personal hurt than working for the peace he seemed to be celebrating ... it was disrespectful but Canadian Trio, DOTH PROTESTETH TOO MUCH ... You lost a very important voice in your beautiful harmonies ... There is a real problem when an anthem is more important than what it stands for ...

You just don't mess with a country's national anthem for your own political statements at an official function. Sure, people do it on their own time for comic or other reasons - Stephen Colbert just did it last week with a "new" version of O Canada that ended with "Our Prime Minister is Hot." Ya, his humor is not for everybody. Lord knows Americans futz around with their own national anthem. But what this ONE Tenor did was at an official function where he was representing his country. Totally not cool. I really feel bad for the other singers who were totally blindsided. The two in this video are clearly shaken by this, and I don't blame them.

Don’t bother “apologizing” for his words…hope someone accepts apologize from you folks for being so utterly horrible.

He was your friend. Call him. Talk with him. Forgive. Your music will always live on and continue. Your music is Fantastic... But so is his.. pay him... Call him...forgive him

I feel bad for the 3 other tenors.

Such a betrayal.

OK me again, over the two weeks I have been thinking about this, and how I would feel if someone from another Country changed our National Anthem lyrics for a political stand and I think I would be really annoyed about it as it is so disrespectful to the people and the Country. Not many people like our National Anthem anyway, but that is beside the point, Anthems should not be changed for political reasons. As the other Tenors did not know that it was going to happen, I am not surprised that he has been 'sacked' by the other Tenors. It is not the publicity that they want and they didn't ask for it either. So, the actual deed of changing the lyrics for a political statement, and knowingly doing that, and knowing that it is disrespectful, and whether or not that I agree with the statement, Remi has done Canada and its people a great faux pas and must now take the consequences for this. He will no longer be a Canadian Tenor, which is a gift in itself.

I WAS SO EMBARRASSED

second 2 comment

I wish I could stop this interview. Such disrespectful comments against Remi

So the only American member ruins it for the Canadian Tenors?...Typical

Bub bye Remigio!! 🇨🇦

Don't replace the guy with another American. If you want to represent Canada going forward, pick a Canadian.

You have a the right to do what you want to do but when you're with a group and you change the words of Canada's song without the rest of the group, that's wrong. Remigio did it wrong, He was wrong and I'm happy to see that he''s gone.

With friends like this, who needs enemies? Cowards just cowards. I don't feel sorry for Remi I feel sorry for these spineless boys.

love you guys minus one

Gentlemen, That off pitch non Canadian tenor should be banned from Canada for life. The sanctity of any country anthem must be paid full respect. Hold auditions immediately to replace the off pitch tenor with one that isn't. Redraw the contracts to include severe penalties including mandatory 5yrs jail time for assaulting any national anthems.

He is American and it is DISRESPECTFUL for him to change the lyrics of the CANADIAN ANTHEM!
