I took him for granted as a kid because he was everywhere. It's only now that I'm older that I appreciate how special he is.
Yep. So very true. Count me in too!
Agree
And keep hopes that John can belt one out one last time after his recovery.
^^this
Yes! Same here!
People just breeze over the fact that he did one of the best mic stand flip & catches of all time. The thing rotated 15 times around the sun and he caught it like it was nothing before throwing it across the stage.
There are so many great moments in this performance that it's easy to miss one of the best.
This song is so famous in Australia that pretty much everyone in the country knows the words and will sing it whenever the opportunity arises.
Unofficial national anthem ❤
@@narellesmith7932 Nah, that belongs to The Seekers. Oops, actually there are quite a few trying to get The Seekers song to actually be the official national Anthem
Yeah, I love it when it comes on in a shop and everyone starts singing
Good choice!
@@markhill9275I do agree that I am Australian does deserve to be our anthem. It is very inclusive and does an amazing job of representing our nation as a whole.
This is such an anthem for us Aussies!
John Farnham has been a household name for almost 50 years. He's now 73 and still sounds like this. I've seen him perform 3 times and his voice knocks your socks off. He still throws and catches the mic stand in all his shows.
My favourite of all time 🎶 💜
not an aussie tho he was born in the UK
@@andrewforbes146he is a naturalised Australian he is an Australian citizen and has always referred to himself as Australian
Its crap.
@@zapkvr what is crap??
He literally is one of the best vocalists in the world....
Sadly he is in very poor health at the moment. God bless him.
even Celine said that
He really is. But he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Which just makes him even more lovable. Hope he gets well very soon
"We're not gonna sit in silence, we're not gonna live with fear..." This song today is more needed than ever. People need to rise.
Won't happen sadly.

Reminds me of the draconian lockdowns, and how people protested against them.
In Victoriastan being SHOT with rubber bullets by the Uniformed GRUBS.@@bigguy130
The bagpipe solo is just the cherry on top for this performance. Love this song, love the man. It's just magic.
I love seeing foreigners react to John Farnham for the first time. I've seen quite a few now, and they're always like 'Wow!' from the very first line, and all us Aussies are sitting here like 'Just you wait!'. His voice is a superpower, and he and his team had a real talent for making moving songs.
As an Aussie, thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️ You’ve only scratched the surface for Johnny’s amazing talents here, he has many more gems. Grossly underrated internationally!
Grossly underrated internationally! which is sad because he was such a amazing singer and person on stage
Could not agree with your more, as an Aussie he is our's
I don't know if this is true, but I read he didn't go international for family reason?
John farnham is definetly one of the best male singers of all time. His vocal range and stage presence is from another planet. Mr 100%. He still delivers amazing vocals at the age of 73 and he still sings this song in the original key. 36 years later.
HE IS AMAZING, should check out his version of Help with the Melbourne Symphony live.
Yesssss
Everyone should hear that one… Amazing performance!!!
I completely agree. There are several songs from this performance that are spectacular, and Help is no exception.
It is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what I was going to recommend....Also John Farnham's duo with other Aussie icon, Jimmy Barnes, doing a live version of "When Something is Wrong with my Baby" (from Hey, Hey it's Saturday)....it will blow your socks off.
You're the Voice is more than a song, it's an anthem. I have chills listening to it. It's also a very hard song to sing live (what I call a studio song). John has amazing control and great lung capacity!
Metalhead here, I've taken my mum to see Farnsey 3 times over the years, and every single time I walked away knowing I'd just witnessed something incredibly special. The man worked his arse off in his prime, a genuine Aussie icon to all of us. And, he smoked like a trooper. I have a tear in my eye right now.
His counter harmonies on the final chorus get me every time, I swear.
Johnny's version of Help by the Beatles is a favourite of mine. It's a brilliant cover as the tempo is slowed down and the song works SO much better at a lower tempo - either John or Paul said that they had originally wanted to record it slower but for some reason they didnt change it. Definitely give it a listen when you get a chance - Johnny just hits his high notes so perfectly
Agree absolutely about "Help". I have it on my main YT playlist, sung on "The Don Lane Show".
John is a treasure.

@@AnthonyDavid59 his best version of Help is with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, at this same concert
It’s this one: th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html
Add my vote for "Help". Should listen to the original first just to see how he changes it. Truly an amazing performance
I always love seeing people's reaction to John Farnham.
For the record, the bagpipe solo isn't just for this concert. It was part of the original studio track and most if not all live performances over the years.
I agree with earlier concerts. Live renditions of When the War is Over and Help really, really show off his power.
Not quite all, I know in one they replaced it with a keyboard/guitar thingy for the concert. But I believe "most" yes. Adds a lovely touch tot he piece.
One of the best male vocalists ever, Farnham has a 3 octave range and as you’ve rightly noted he full belts out his highest register notes without going into falsetto. He’s sung with Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Celine Dion.. just legendary. Thanks for the reaction! PS Farnham was born in England. Our other Aussie legend Jimmy Barnes was born in Scotland! Jimmy is the master of false vocal chords!
Kappy, Kappy, Kappy...vocal cords, surely? You had me going with the 'chords" bit...mind you, it'd be a handy trick; he could sack the kids and sing lead and bv's at the same time.
@@mrmockatoo6786 yes Mocky, the use of false vocal cords is what allows Jimmy Barnes to belt the way he does without losing his voice! PS thanks for pointing out my typo. I’m slipping.. 😆
@@Dr_KAP As long as you put the scalpel down first 😂
Jimmy is a screamer - gives me headaches listening to him and also a sore throat by just watching him.
I once rang a radio station to complain about them playing so much Cold Chisel/Jimmy Barnes (can't stand either) and was called unAustralian on air... I laughed out loud and called the announcer a dick and he hung up on me... 😂🤣😂
Surprise! The greatest reaction to a fine song ! As an Aussie, John was our hero! Bagpipes are popular here in music too…. Check out AC/DC. I went to this tour in Brisbane. Thanks Beth, you reaction was honest and beautiful!
John Farnham’s version of Help from this concert is worth a listen, it is a vocal masterclass
Hard agree!!!
As an Aussie, your initial reaction to this song is amazing and exactly how we feel when we hear "the voice."
Makes me so emotional every time! An anthem for humanity.
John is currently battling cancer and i hope he comes through the surgery all good .
Making YOU well up?! Any Aussie will have every hair on their body stand on end whenever they hear this. Farnham is a proper legend and from all accounts a bloody good bloke to boot. Legitimately believe this should be our national anthem. He's a phenomenal singer, but this is a staggering song.
This song is a real Protest song and the bagpipes confirm it. They were used to scare the enemy away in olden days too, so this song is perfect for the world today. """We are not going to sit in silence, we are not going to live in fear. We are the voice, make it loud and clear""" Then those bagpipes gurgele up and squeal it out! An amazingly evocative emotional piece of music right there! The Battle Hymn for every country on earth!
💥🎯
Great choice for a National Anthem! Nice one, mate
@@Marylmac, YOU BET! - This is a battle cry against evil alright. A fabulous anthem, and with those bagpipes played by the piper, it couldn't be better except, with a whole pipe band with drummers. Stirs my heart and has been standing the hair on the back of my neck for over 40years! 🥰
STOP VOTING FOR COMMUNISTS AND IT MAY BE!
he makes women cry every where he goes i took my mum to see him on his farewell tour and ive never been surrounded by so many crying women of all ages , truly the best performer to this day ive ever seen
We dont call him "The Voice" for nothing. One of our greatest Legends, and still singing at 70+ years of age. He still has the power in his voice, but due to older age he has lost a little bit of his lung capacity.
His band is plucked from all over and each is a legend in their own right with their own bands in the past.
His two female backup singers are also Legends in their own right.
Lisa Edwards has her own career but works so well in talent and chemistry with John that she routinely helps him in every concert and studio work.
Check her out singing with him a song called "Angels". She has the same power and talent that he has, albeit she is slightly shy about it.
And as for the Lovely and Legendary Venetta Fields. One of the original Ikkette's for Tina and Ike Turner, as well as singing with so many other big time legends across the globe. She came to Australia to help a few musicians and ended up pairing up with Lisa to sing with John Farnham and spent decades with him. She also never left and lives permanently in Australia and is retired but still teaches singing and does plenty of coaching for up coming singers.
Thank you, Ghost. I enjoyed that info.
Seen him live so many times and was on my feet the whole show !! Even today he’s still going strong. You would have loved being there
Glad to see you finally covering John Farnham he's an absolute legend cheers from Australia Beth ^-^
They don’t call him The Voice for nothing. Has power at every part of his range. It’s astounding
Apart from “ Help” and “ When something is wrong with my Baby” : “ please don’t ask me” and “ Gesthemane” from Jesus Christ superstar are my favourites. Also “That’s freedom”. Who am I kidding : love So many of his songs and have seen him live several times. So good
I have 4 John Farnham DVDs hahahaha.
Hes one of the top 5 best singers of all time.
Definitely Gesthemane and Help live. Both of those are the start and finish of any vocal lesson.
Always LIVE!
Hit the nail on the head my friend. John Farnham is Australia's best vocalist full stop. what a voice, and yes, his version of Gesthemane blows me away every time.
Farnham's "Gethsemene" is my favourite version of that epic showstopper of a song. He gives it an entirely new vocal spin which has rarely been repeated and never matched.
I worked in the music industry in Australia and got to go to an 'industry' show with John at just a piano/singing. He SMOKED a cigar and drank straight whiskey. He belted out the most amazing performance and was so humble and jovial. At this point I laughed at my own talent as a singer.
Sadly he's paying for that now.
@@MsS-J We are all going away like it or not. Some of us chose to live life to the fullest, while others were just alive.
John Farnham's voice has always had an emotional impact on me. Just the knowledge that a voice like his exists makes me happy. That mine will never be like his makes me envious (but not despondent - I like my voice, it just isn't like his, is all). The beauty and power makes me seriously cry with joy and awe every time I listen to him sing certain songs. Thank you for reacting to him.
My husband played drums for him once or twice and he still says that it's the best voice he's ever heard.
Lucky bloke ur husband
@@dalepontt8897 or, talented. hah
I am from the other part of the world and I think exactly the same thing your husband.
It's taken years for Beth to do John Farnham when really he should have been first on the list.Please do another Beth,you owe us down under folk!
First on the list, yeah maybe for Australian artists but there's plenty of other better vocalists out there in the world
@@joshthomas2536 check your ears champ!
@@joshthomas2536 I'm Aussie and agree. He has a great voice but this song used to play alll the tiiimme. Especially in the 80s and 90s.
@@hman2912 it’s funny how it seems so much easier to appreciate it, now we don’t hear it ad nauseam.
Don't like John Farnham
I noticed his distortion comes from a twist he takes with his neck that he is able to control well. He turns his head slightly to the side changing the sound of his voice.
Master work.
Yes, Beth, a shocked and horrified Australian here. Been here tapping my fingers on my desk for years waiting for this day 🤣 Glad you had the opportunity to discover this vocal genius - and thank you. This is not even close to his finest performance either. His version of Help by the Beatles - it doesn’t get much better: th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html
This is my favourite Aussie song and your reaction to the bagpipes is probably the most wholesome thing I’ll see all year 🥹 love your work!
Love your reaction, he’s one of the greats. Would quite enjoy seeing you breakdown the complementary and contrasting dynamics of the soulful duet John did with the gravelly, hard-rocking Jimmy Barnes, “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby”. Or really any of Farnsey’s other songs, they’re all masterful.
Yes I concur. Definitely needs to be done that song.
Absolutely agree on "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby". Would love to see Beth break down Jimmy's voice.
I mentioned about that song a long time ago but it never seems to eventuate ! There are three great singers in that song Barnes , Farnham and Diesel ( i believe he does the the back up harmony as well as play the guitar) .
Farnsie & Barnsie
I was his truck driver for the first European tour that he did in the 80s, brilliant artist and a lovely fellow, can't recommend him enough.
Welcome to the rabbit hole which contains quite a few iconic Australian singers. As many people have already mentioned, John Farnham's version of Help is a must-see. As is the duet with Jimmy Barnes singing 'When Something is Wrong With my Baby.' Then that will open the whole Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel rabbit hole. Lots of rabbit holes, but then again, this is Australia.
He's English bro!
@@HeAhaBro - John Farnham is a British-born Australian Singer. He has lived for more than 60 years in Australia, therefore he is an Australian.
@@erwinzyx and he considers himself Australian. That’s what matters 😊
Has Beth taken a look at Barnsey??!
@@robsalvv5853 Barnsey is Scottish mate ;)
The cherry on top: This was filmed in the late 80’s. He’s 73 now. He’s still working. HE STILL SINGS LIKE THIS.
If there's anything that shows how important good technique is, and how much Farnsy has perfect technique himself, it's the fact that his voice is still just as amazing, just as powerful, just as flexible and with just as much range, even in his mid 70s.
Just extraordinary!
John Farnham is easIly one of the best singers ever. Not exaggerating. He is just phenomenal! ❤️
Her joy when the bagpipe is played.... precious reaction 😊
I grew up in Australia during the 90's and it is mind boggling that there are people that don't know John Farnham, he was a staple of daily life for a while there.
As an Aussie it thrilled my heart to see you enjoy this so much! 🙂. It is kind of our national song and we LOVE the bagpipes in it as well. Thanks for the wonderful reaction
He's a legendary singer. Im from N.Z but lived in australia for 38.5 years. I was bred up on his music.
It is a shame the rest of the world did not embrace this gift of a singer as much as his home did, one of the best singers, ever!
I’m so glad we Australians appreciated him.
Whispering Jack was my first album.
I was 10, and I gave zero regrets.
I’m so glad John continued to be a proper legend.
Took us a while but we got there. Most people forget that there was a time no one was interested in The Voice.
The same could be said of Cold Chisel and Midnight oil who were imense live bands.
It is such a JOY to watch you watching this!!!!!!! I love it!!!! I think he can still hit all the notes and he is now 73!!!!
This is an Aussie anthem and of course, John is amazing - but to hear his vocal range you really need to listen to him doing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. There is honestly nothing else like it on YT or anywhere else.
Listening to right now! WOOOOAH 🤯
@@BethRoars did you do a video to it?
And when he dials it back into a ballad like "Please Don't Ask Me" or "Burn For You". A stunning vocalist, capable of pretty much anything. And a top bloke by all accounts too.
@@markwestaway7207 both wonderful songs.
Your reaction to the bagpipe was so good! Love this song! My god that man can sing!
Thank goodness for the internet. John Farnham and his good mate Jimmy Barnes deservedly being internationally recognised now thanks to TH-cam reactors.
Such a powerful song! The vocals and the lyrics are just moving.
I love this song but I had no idea he was this good live. Wow. It's flawless.
One of the few artists I will fly all over the country to see live. He has been the soundtrack of my life and I feel blessed to have seen him live many times.
I grew up listening to Farnsey (along with a few generations of Australians), and I don't know why, but this song gets me in the feels EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Beth, next time you watch this, keep your eyes trained on the screen after the bagpipes solo up until about 3:42. Unfortunately the editor cut to a distant camera, so we almost miss a great moment when John throws his microphone stand up in the air. The next shot is close and shows the stand falling down then he catches it so effortlessly. Many of us are still experiencing an endorphin rush from the bagpipe solo and their mutual salute and don’t see John do his almighty throw. I must say you are my favourite of several people on YT who do reaction videos. I really appreciate your explanation of singing technique as I like singing in three part harmony. Keep up the good work!
As an aussie fan here I am so glad you love our aussie anthem 🙌
The only thing more enjoyable than listening to 'You're the Voice', is watching you listening to it 💜 Loved how touched you were by this belter of an Aussie classic. I was lucky enough to be a little kid hearing this everywhere all the time when it was a massive hit.
The piper's part is iconic. The entire song is iconic, but I just want you to feel reassured that it has been there from the start and the song will never be the same without it! The songs people are recommending in the comments are great, but if you want to be astonished by his capacity to deal with ballads, try "Burn For You".
Love Your The Voice! Best song ever.. Glad you found our John Farnham.. He's amazing.
As an Aussie, I’ve grown up with this song as our classic and our anthem. I’ve always loved Farnsy and yet have never stopped long to really break down his technical abilities. Your video and others similar to it on TH-cam have helped me to not only appreciate him as our icon and appreciate his amazing music, but also to recognise how exceptional his actual vocal technique really is!
What a voice. John just cannot be beat. God's gift to Australia. Australia's gift to the world.
Thanks for your reaction
Hope you do more from this Aussie legend
It's fun watching you have fun. He is amazing. Saw him live.... What a show.
Good to see the Legend getting some attention, when Home Free came to Australia they did part of the chorus of this song and everyone in the audience answered just like they did here, it's an unofficial anthem for all Aussies and the message is just as important now as when it was written over 30 years ago.
The reason people who want an expert breakdown like this will use this version is because, on studio albums he pulls it back and doesn't give it everything like his does in a live performance.
His backup singers have been with him for most of their careers (his and theirs) and when asked if they wanted to go do their own thing, which they're well talented enough to do, they always said "No, we want to stay with John"
Great to see an analysis like this Beth, hope to see more John Farnham on your channel in future.
I've seen him live 2 or 3 times and I'm always blown away by him. He usually sings with the mic down at his waist, which is unbelievable. Every time I've seen him, it's a clinic on how to sing.
Watching Beth Roars for years, this is easily my favourite now… heart welling with pride ☺️
the man has a great voice and the songs great for him to sing
John Farnham is one of the best things about Australia. He has always been a fantastic performer. ❤️
its the bag pipes that brings music like this togeather
An unofficial National anthem back in the day. Everyone could sing this one.
It's the distortion in his belts that really gets me. The power of his voice is obvious by how far away he has to hold the microphone at times.
As others have suggested, John's cover of 'Help' from the same concert will really get your attention. Please make it a priority.
This working class man and true blue are the only songs I recognise as our national anthems. Advance Australia fair can suck my anus.
Loved listening to JF for the last 30 years. Superb vocals, excellent orchestra.
Can Not Believe You Haven't Heard Farnsie BEFORE !!! OMG! He IS The Voice. Absolute legend. Not the least because he was a Plumber's Apprentice before he launched into singing and has never had a formal vocal lesson. He said he just listened to as many other singers as he could and then just 'tried it out'. Not bad for self taught huh!? He's also a terrific song writer. You should listen to the song he wrote for his wife; " Burn For You' and " Help" ( from this same Concert } and so many more. Enjoy. : )
I don’t know how many Australian wedding receptions this gets a run at, but when it does, it goes OFF! Everyone joins in at full blast.
I love John Farnham. Please do him often.
When I was 14 John Farnham was my all time favourite singer. I remember waiting with excitement for the next album to come out (YES ALBUM not SINGLE) and i'd rush out and by the vinyl. We would play that thing LOUD. That people are still getting chills and listening to Farnsy from his heyday is great. Watching this took me back to 14yo me. Thanks!
It really is a pity that the rest of the world are only now discovering John Farnham. The man is 73 now and could probably still sing better live than many current artists.
Every time he brought out a new album, I was so excited at the prospect of seeing the live tour that inevitably followed. In my opinion, NO ONE could sing live like John Farnham. Even if I wasn’t a fan, I still would have considered it an honour to listen to a voice like that LIVE.
For those not familiar with his work (particularly the live stuff), it is well worth the effort to search him up on TH-cam. You won’t be disappointed.
He is brilliant..such an Iconic song these days in Australia..everyone knows it..and everyone sings it..thankyou Whispering Jack..
As a (half) Scotsman brought up in Australia I definitely had some kind of emotional response to your reaction to the bagpipes on this one. Loved this.
"Reasons" is another great one to check out from John.
Jorn Lande has a sensational hard rock version of this track too.
I'm Finnish but I have Scottish blood and I have the same thing: I have some kind of emotional response once the bagpipes appear!
He can still belt this out just as good now in his 70's too. Look up "Fire Fight Australia - John Farnham "You're the Voice" ft. Brian May, Olivia Newton-John and more!". LIVE from 2 years ago
I watched him live in the Festival hall in Melbourne as the undercard for Stevie Wonder 50 years ago and Stevie was so impressed he wanted John to join him on stage and sing
with him. Seriously you could not tell his voice from Stevie's voice it was spectacular..Even Richard Marks was listening to the radio and one of John's songs came on and Blew Marks away so much he rang his manager to find out who he was and he wanted to produce an Album for John....He is a Legend and humble!
My understanding is, that John never had formal training as a young man, he is a naturally gifted singer & arguably one of our greatest singers ever!!! A proud Aussie! 🥰
No, he didn’t! You’re right. He’s been a singer/ songwriter since he was a boy & has perfect pitch, tone, delivery and always been a natural performer too. It’s sooo impressive to realise as an adult when we grew up with his ‘80s era (my parents grew up in his “Johnny” Farnham era) I love watching his earliest performances when he was starting out.
He started out as a Plumbers apprentice. Correct, no formal training just natural talent.
I do hope you will still support John, now that he has had a cancerous lesion removed from his mouth, and has also had reconstructive surgery in there as well. He has a long road of recovery in front of him, but for those of us who have loved him since we were in our teens, we have every faith that his own personal determination and courage will help him along the way. Many thanks for your support!
Thanks so much for this. John is more than an institution here in Australia, he is one of our favourite sons. His catalogue of works are amazing from his time singing solo to his time as the lead singer of Little River Band. This song is a true anthem for us and you won't find an Aussie who doesn't break into song when this comes on the radio or TV.
Unfortunately bon August 23rd 23022 john underwent 12 hour surgery on his throat after the discovery of cancer. He is recovering well which is the main thing, but we are yet to hear whether or not he will be able to sing again, something he loves so much.
We are all so grateful for his recorded works and I am so lucky to have seen him sing in concert on a number of occasions, but I would give it all up just to know he is going to recover from this terrible news.
Onya John. You can do it mate.
Thank you Beth you have given me a renewed appreciation on John Farnham it was also beautiful to watch your reaction very moving
You should check out “Kate Ceberano, John Farnham, Jon Stevens - Everything’s Alright - Hey Hey It’s Saturday 1992” on Kate Ceberano’s Channel. John Farnham played Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar along with an amazing cast. They are all so so good.
Omg yes! I was 9 years old when that was on and it blew my mind! Nothing like it.
I was lucky enough to see this production of JCS in Brisbane in 1992- it was Un.Believe.Able.
Bit of trivia for you Beth. John changed the song to include bagpipes rather than the original plan of pipes/flute. When discussing with an expert bagpiper he pointed out that they only play in one key so they changed the key of the song so that they would meld perfectly. That and the raw vocal of the original recording made this song an incredible experience for everyone who has ever listened to it. It also shows his many decades of hard work and knowledge of his craft.
Wow, you missed out without the Voice. He never had a voice lesson, his range is amazing.
The Orchestra love him and this song always has bagpipes.
Absolutely wonderful live.
I loved watching you fall in love with Johnny, he’s an Australian icon and as loved as Steve Irin. I grew up listening to him and still do at 39! So talented, so cheeky, so loved. He made a whole concert when we had bad bush fires for donations, he’s an Angel of a person ❤
I'm 37 and heard him a lot growing up myself!!!
Have seen him in concert TWICE now and he is freaking AMAZING!!!
Makes me cry too. Now I’m going over to watch your reaction Help!
Love how much you love this as a singer. Same as me. Watching his vowel work, his placement. He’s a phenomenon. And he’s always like this. Never less than a tour de force. ❤❤ love him to bits. This is the archetypal Aussie anthem.
I loved this! Loved your reaction too. He’s one of the best. He went to the same school as my aunty and one of his sisters was in her year.
6:33 I just loved seeing Beths surprise reaction when the man walked on stage and started playing the bagpipes. Nice one Beth. I love this song thanks for sharing.
He’s so so good. So proud to even come from the same country as this man…lol!
Commonly known as The Voice.
I pray that he can overcome his throat cancer and we get to see him sing again.
If he doesn't he will forever live in his fans hearts and minds.
So glad you enjoyed it as much as us ❤
Mister John Farnham YOU are the voice!!! Beth I looooove your reaction! This is an incredible composition and the message is a real anthem, so positive and so uplifting. I wonder... will we hear your cover of this one Beth?
I ❤️watching reactions to John.
Yes. As an Australian I was shocked and horrified that you had not listened to John Farnham before. And I'm also thrilled and delighted that you now have. He is an Australian icon. Humble. Unassuming. And a force of nature.
He's a legend, and he's ours. Love him.
