Aboriginal Aussie here. John is The Voice in Australia. We all wish him well in his recovery after surgery for cancer. He is our National Treasure. This man can sing. Sub because of your respectful reaction. Aussie will flock when you show respect mate. Lets see more hey : )
John is a National treasure here and is so very much loved by everyone. He’s an incredible singer, a great comedian and the loveliest person ever. The whole nation is affected by his health crisis - he’s just so very loved.
Hahaha! "Johnny can sing" is possibly the biggest understatement I've ever heard! Hahaha! This man is a legend. Now, in his hour of need, we just want to give back what he gave us for over half a century! Ditto on "Help" and (let's face it) basically anything that has a scent of the great man! Get well Farnsy! 💕
Oddly, I've never thought of this song as cheesy. Just powerful and moving. A song that genuinely unites people. In the last week or so Farnham had jaw surgery to remove cancer. Hope he is recovering well.
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra loved playing for John. Everyone did. Don’t call him Johnny, just John and he is our Legend. He is known as the Voice in Australia.
@@karenstrong8887 even Victorians feel sufficiently entitled to tell people what to do. Why? The guy was obviously having fun....and doing a great reaction.
Thank you for this! Awesome!! Agree with Carolyn you need to check out Help from this same concert. He slows it right down and so it’s a good one to appreciate his vocal genius. He can sing any genre, has a 3 octave range and has sung with the likes of Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Celine Dion and more! Oh and PS not quite full Scottish regalia, they are wearing Australia’s national tartan 😝
John Farnham can sing alright, mate! He sings around A2 to G5, can sing in over twenty genres, has been in the business for five to six decades and has a very powerful and clear voice . These are some of the reasons that he is known as 'The Voice' in Australia and is regarded as rock royalty. There are a large number of his songs to choose from on video. Always see and hear John LIVE as he shines in concert and to get a taste of his personality. John is charismatic, energetic, playful, funny and a consummate professional. He is well-loved in Oz as you can see by the response of his audience. Our best wishes, thoughts and prayers go to him in this challenging time of his recovery after undergoing major surgery. PS. Please call him John as he dislikes being called Johnny.
Much appreciate your great reaction. Nothing better then watching someone react and enjoy watching the voice singing you’re the voice. Yes he is more important to us then the queen by far he is a national treasure. I would suggest reacting to John singing a cover of the Beatles song “help” live at this same concert
John farnham is one in a billon singers. He should have been more notised world wide. He can master any kind of genre to perfektion. 110% live performer. Get well soon mr Farnham and back on stage again where you belong. ❤ PS THIS song was a world wide hit for him back in 86-87. And the album is still to this day one of the most sold album in Australia.
He would have been a star worldwide except staying in Australia close to friends and family was more important to him. They only had a contest to find a replacement for Freddie Mercury because John was asked first and declined.
me too, I love watching people discovering Jonny, jimmy Barnes, cold chisel, Olivia Newton John, Tina Arena, midnight oil, Guy Sabastian, and all the rest that Australia has to offer. 🇦🇺
@@OutOnThatLine Check John's "It's a Long Way to the Top" either with the Melbourne Symphony or his own version with his band!!! Brilliant simply is not justice!
GREAT reaction and what a way to win the Aussies over. He is THE Voice... Literally what everyone here in Aus calls him. He is a living legend and one of Australia's most loved entertainers with number one hits spanning consecutive decades from the 60's right up till 2016. And in his 70's could still belt out his iconic songs with as much power as he could in his 20's and 30's. This was his most famous song but There is so much more for you to discover. Would love to see you react to his arrangement of the Beatles Classic HELP from this same concert. You will be blown away and probably won't recognise it as a Beatles song after the Farnsey do over.. 🔥 🤜
His live performances are always best. He gives that bit extra to his audience that makes it special. Any song by him is great. He can outperform anyone live. He also has a great sense of humour, a very funny guy and totally genuine.
A granny in Australia advises...only us reeeeally old Aussies can use the diminutive "Johnny". At 80 I have watched John (who is 73) thru his entire career, and have loved every second of him.
'You're the Voice' is his most well known song, but there are so many others that display his true vocal ability. Which is phenomenal. 'Gethsemane'- the last night in Sydney, 'Black Dog'- a sound check, 'When Something is Wrong With My Baby'- Live on Hey Hey it's Saturday with Jimmy Barnes. 'Help' live from that same concert is a must.
No one can sing this like him. He is our national treasure and I'm sure you will recognise him as an international treasure soon enough. Have you seen him singing this l8ve in Germany 110000 crowd? Soooo good. Another really good one is That's Freedom - watch John live because you get all his emotion and grittiness xxx
I’m joining the others here in screaming: watch HELP from the same MSO concert. It was so much fun seeing you enjoy this and we all know you’ll love that one too 😊
G’Day Mate I can not over state what John is to Australians , not only is he one of the greatest vocalist and performers of all time but one of the nicest person you would ever meet. If he needed a kidney transplant you would be crushed in the rush to give him one. I just subbed, so keep those John Farnham reactions coming. Some songs to consider: Help with the MSO,Freedom,Burn for You Touch of Paradise, Romeo’s Heart, The Simple Life. “When the War is Over” 2003 last time tour will blow you away.
Farnsy and Barnsey! I like Australia more and more as these comments keep coming in. Appreciate you checking us out and there will certainly be more Farnham reactions coming along soon!!
One of Australia's great national treasures, John is now 73 years of age and recently had to undergo major surgery on cancer that was discovered in his mouth. We all hope and pray he will be able to sing again. One of the genuine nice guys in the music industry here in Oz...
I agree with George Ibrahim and Dr_Kap who agrees with Carolyn H regards 'reacting' to John's performance from this same concert of The Beatles classic "Help" lol Love to see you getting into this I must have seen this performance a million times but it never ceases to give me goosebumps lol. More Please!! Sending you lots of love from Australia
John Farnham is as good as it gets!! He is an absolute legend and the nicest bloke you could ever meet. Try watching John sing this at 70 years of age in 2019 with Cold Play he is as good as ever!!! And the crowd of mainly 20-30yo’s know every word of it and absolutely love him. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about John.
John Farnham is in my opinion the best ever because he can sing any genre, he has a heap of range and he brings in that grit when he needs. Even when he hit 70 he sounded like he was still 40, amazing. John sings for his fans and for the love of singing, he really enjoys interacting with the crowd and even hits the high notes bending down shaking hands, just awesome. Yes John is an Aussie legend but he is loved just as much over here in New Zealand. He's not called THE VOICE for nothing he has such a unique voice. Some other popular hits of his you'll want to hear are THAT'S FREEDOM th-cam.com/video/JWjtlMBl3Xo/w-d-xo.html, WHEN THE WAR IS OVER th-cam.com/video/BekbvlLzMWc/w-d-xo.html. Oh and Your The Voice is considered Australia's unofficial anthem.
If you want to see more of John - he is a good friend with Olivia Newton John and they have worked together several times. Here is their version of DARE TO DREAM at the Sydney Opening Ceremony of the Olympics 2000 - note use a VPN for Australia because mine was set for America and it won't let you see it - it works for Australia - th-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml0/w-d-xo.html Also the great concert THE MAIN EVENT with ONJ, John and Anthony Warlow (Australia's phantom from Phantom of the Opera): th-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/w-d-xo.html It's 2 hrs 38 mins. You will love it. Also here is HELP (Beatles song) in the same concert with the MSO:- th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html It's John's rendition and I think it was John Lennon that saw it and loved it. If you want to see vintage Farnham from 1967, here is his first TV performance for SADIE THE CLEANING LADY which he made a hit back then and he became the King of Pop. He was 18 then:- th-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/w-d-xo.html By the way he is known down here as THE VOICE.
I just saw you react to this video and subscribed. I first saw him when he was in Little River Band. Loved his singing. Had a baby in 95 and listened to them while walking the treadmill to lose the baby weight. Heard about his health and the last few days just went down deep in the rabbit hole learning about John before and after LRB. I’m still in the 80s and that will always be my fav music. Get well wishes for John and his family.
He's currently recovering from 12 hours surgery for mouth cancer and we all send him our best. This concert had so many great song from his fantastic version of the Beatles Help which you have to react to to an amazing cover of the ACDC hit it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll. The first John Farnham song I remember hearing is Sadie the Cleaning Lady, damm I'm old, which is the most 60's bubble gum pop song you've ever hear and still a fun listen.
You now need to react to HELP, from the same concert. You will be blown further away, and with the audience participation at the beginning of the song.
as said by dr kap help is one of the best live performances of all time, a must, i would also recommend my favourite aussie female voice katie noonan doing a version of my baby just cares for me on the tv show rockwiz, sublime
This is the kind message song that we all really need, to battle the helplessness so many of us feel. In little ways, or at the voting box, speaking up to make the world just that little bit better, even if we can’t save the world entire all at once. So many Aussie acts are better live than recorded and overproduced
Great reaction! A great song and an amazing singer! Yes, please react to "Help" performed by John at the same concert. It is one of the best interpretation of the Beatles song.
Plenty of other Aussie legends, need some Cold Chisel, Midnight oil, Baby animals, the Divinyls, Hunters and collectors, Paul Kelly, soy v spy, the Choirboys, the Angels. For the start of your education try cold chisel Bow River live
He hasn't gone by "Johnny" in 50 years. I have seen John perform LIVE and it was fantastic. While the studio versions are great, the LIVE versions are better.
I subscribed in the hope you will listen to John sing Help live with the Melbourne Orchestra, also live him and Jimmy Barnes "Something is wrong with my baby"
Great reaction bud. I grew up listening to that voice. Not sure if you have heard but John is having throat cancer surgery at the moment. We are all hoping he makes a full recovery. I would really appreciate it if you could react to any of the many artists and even ads that have been produced since the seekers first realised the song I am Australian a wonderful song that gives all Aussies so much pride
If you think that’s good, being at a live concert as most of commenting have seen him live - is SO much better - 50 years of John entertaining us here - how dam lucky are we. I bet others have described here, why he’s sadly stopped performing in his 70s 💞
G'day mate glad to see an American with taste in music! If you like this then check out John Farnham singing " Playing to Win" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, you will love it!
Hi from Australia. John is a fantastic vocalist, but then we have an awful lot of amazing vocalists and bands. Anyway, hope you enjoy any exploration of Aussie music you do
Watch him sing live remixes Led zeppelin black dog AC/DC long way to the top Beatles help With his back up singer Lisa Edwards (ANGEL'S) this shows john's real personality comedian With others back up singers venetta fields and Lindsay fields ( AMAZING GRACE) With another Aussie ledgens John With Jimmy barnes and johnny diesel (SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BABY) But pretty much anything from last 5 decade's will do of Farns'y noise every decade Just make sure if live versions their the one's to watch You'll like Jimmy barnes as much if you like Farns'y Australia has many great singers even now in present day females as well Welcome to the rabbit hole 🕳
Omg that's the best reaction by far I'm glad you love John as much as we (us aussies) do xx ❤❤💔🥺 I sing along to this song and all his songs every time, being Australian "you're the voice" is our unofficial anthem & has been for 36yrs now ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰 Loovee John with all my heart & yesss he IS the VOICE!!! He means so much to all us Aussies xx when I heard he had cancer my heart sank💔🥺 but I hear he's recovering very well from surgery (he had some of his jaw removed) but he probably wont ever sing again but I'm glad he's doing good xx Check out Robbie williams singing "you're the voice" at AFL grand final he tribute the song to farnesy who was watching from his hospital room & was very touched by Robbie's performance 😢 tbh it made me cry xx but yeah check it out...
Great reaction to our ledgend thankyou from OZZ WOULD YOU REACT TO ICE HOUSE FEATURING MICHAEL PAYNTER IN SYDNEY YOU WILL LOVE IT,!!! ALSO ICE HOUSE BOUGHT OUT A SONG CALLED GREAT SOUTHERN LAND, GET THE NEW ONE THAT SHOWS OUR LAND WITH THE MUSIC ITS ALSO EPIC IT WILL GIVE YOU AN INSITE TO OUR COUNTRY AND!!WHILE YOUR AT IT the seekers in their last concert singing I AM AUSTRALIAN IT WILL TELL YOU ABOUT OUR HISTORY HOW WE COME TO BE, AND ANOTHER ONE IS ABOUT THE VEITNAM WAR AND HOW IT AFFECTED OUR BEAUTIFUL SOLDERS ITS CALLED I'M ONLY 19!! Ozz THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR LOVELY REATION Ozz
John does this song every performance for the last 37 years and especially every Benefit Concert thrown together to raise funds for disasters. 2009 he did it with "Coldplay" for "Sound Relief" th-cam.com/video/19JN50bLKjY/w-d-xo.html But this performance [ th-cam.com/video/lqjNWuM2z-Q/w-d-xo.html ] was the last one he did. The benefit was for the massive bushfires at the start of 2020 with Sir Brian May of "Queen" and Olivia Newton John. Also Mitch Tambo singing it in Indigenous Language John was 70yo in this and it could be the last time we ever have a video recording of him perform this. So fitting it was with his Livy too! 💕 Enjoy! CHOOKAS! 💖
Much love from New Zealand :-) Love to see you do Harry Mack (Omegel Bars 72) freestyles off the top to strangers the reactions are worth it and he doesn't copywrite his content so its free to use, and you will get a lot of Mack fans subbing. (if you never heard of him you should not look and make your reaction a true First time reaction)
It’s a truly great song, and as good as the studio version is the live renditions are always better. Here’s a few random ones: Coldplay (with the grandkids of his original fans singing every word) and with Queen (who he almost fronted after Freddy passed) th-cam.com/video/19JN50bLKjY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/lqjNWuM2z-Q/w-d-xo.html

❤ to all my fellow Aussies
John is a National treasure here and is so very much loved by everyone. He’s an incredible singer, a great comedian and the loveliest person ever. The whole nation is affected by his health crisis - he’s just so very loved.
He literally is known as ‘The Voice’ in Australia, truly one of the best male singers ever. He is an Australian legend
I automatically give a sub to reactors who appreciate the awesome talent of our John Farnham. Once you discover him there is no going back.
I hear ya. I can't tell you how much this song took over every Australian's entire brain in 1986. It's glorious.
I was 4 in '86. It still takes up a massive amount of space up in my brain. :D
Hahaha! "Johnny can sing" is possibly the biggest understatement I've ever heard! Hahaha! This man is a legend. Now, in his hour of need, we just want to give back what he gave us for over half a century! Ditto on "Help" and (let's face it) basically anything that has a scent of the great man!

As us Aussies say...if you look up legend in the dictionary it says John Farnham. ❤
Oddly, I've never thought of this song as cheesy. Just powerful and moving. A song that genuinely unites people. In the last week or so Farnham had jaw surgery to remove cancer. Hope he is recovering well.
Perhaps the film may explain it.
Not cheezy love it.
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra loved playing for John. Everyone did.
Don’t call him Johnny, just John and he is our Legend. He is known as the Voice in Australia.
You can call him whatever you like if you're praising him...Karens are everywhere....
@@rickandersen2284, so are fools who wait for someone using this name so they look good. My name is Victoria.
@@karenstrong8887 even Victorians feel sufficiently entitled to tell people what to do. Why? The guy was obviously having fun....and doing a great reaction.
Thank you for this! Awesome!! Agree with Carolyn you need to check out Help from this same concert. He slows it right down and so it’s a good one to appreciate his vocal genius. He can sing any genre, has a 3 octave range and has sung with the likes of Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Celine Dion and more! Oh and PS not quite full Scottish regalia, they are wearing Australia’s national tartan 😝
We are always in agreement about Farnsey.
I feel like not enough people notice his mic throw, haha
Such a boss move! and he pulls it off likes its just a part of the show!!! Just makes this more legendary!
John Farnham can sing alright, mate! He sings around A2 to G5, can sing in over twenty genres, has been in the business for five to six decades and has a very powerful and clear voice . These are some of the reasons that he is known as 'The Voice' in Australia and is regarded as rock royalty. There are a large number of his songs to choose from on video. Always see and hear John LIVE as he shines in concert and to get a taste of his personality. John is charismatic, energetic, playful, funny and a consummate professional. He is well-loved in Oz as you can see by the response of his audience. Our best wishes, thoughts and prayers go to him in this challenging time of his recovery after undergoing major surgery.
PS. Please call him John as he dislikes being called Johnny.
Aussie Legend. Sing any genre. Totally great guy and ultimate showman.
One of the worlds great voices..... this whole concert is amazing !!
Much appreciate your great reaction. Nothing better then watching someone react and enjoy watching the voice singing you’re the voice. Yes he is more important to us then the queen by far he is a national treasure. I would suggest reacting to John singing a cover of the Beatles song “help” live at this same concert
Never go sick of watching or listening to this concert version of Your The Voice with the MSO
There’s not a genre that Farnsy can’t sing. Greatest vocalist and performer hands down.
He has filled this venue 97 times, they even named a room after him.
John farnham is one in a billon singers. He should have been more notised world wide. He can master any kind of genre to perfektion. 110% live performer. Get well soon mr Farnham and back on stage again where you belong. ❤ PS THIS song was a world wide hit for him back in 86-87. And the album is still to this day one of the most sold album in Australia.
He would have been a star worldwide except staying in Australia close to friends and family was more important to him. They only had a contest to find a replacement for Freddie Mercury because John was asked first and declined.
I've subbed on the assumption that it's not going to be the only Farnham you do.
It sounds like I need to do his version of “Help!” from the same concert!! Thank you for checking us out!!
Me too.
I’m in. Hi from Sydney. We love you John, get well.
me too, I love watching people discovering Jonny, jimmy Barnes, cold chisel, Olivia Newton John, Tina Arena, midnight oil, Guy Sabastian, and all the rest that Australia has to offer. 🇦🇺
@@OutOnThatLine Check John's "It's a Long Way to the Top" either with the Melbourne Symphony or his own version with his band!!! Brilliant simply is not justice!
Even though this is a powerful anthem it still manages to bring forth tears. If we can do only one thing to help this world is "dont sit silence"
One thing most people miss is that @5:25 Farnham throws the Mic Stand like a Baton and catches it, before tossing it. those things are heavy.
Such a boss move! and he pulls it off likes its just a part of the show!!! Just makes this more legendary!
GREAT reaction and what a way to win the Aussies over. He is THE Voice... Literally what everyone here in Aus calls him.

You come away thinking he has sung directly to you.
I love watching the appraisals of JF and You're the Voice. Every presenter, voice coach, looks so joyful and happy. Me too! Always. E❤
He is currently recovering from surgery to remove mouth cancer I heard they had to remove some of is jaw bone. Get well soon John.

EVERYONE needs this song in their life
G’Day Mate
I can not over state what John is to Australians , not only is he one of the greatest vocalist and performers of all time but one of
the nicest person you would ever meet.
If he needed a kidney transplant you would be crushed in the rush to give him one.
I just subbed, so keep those John Farnham reactions coming.
Some songs to consider:
Help with the MSO,Freedom,Burn for You
Touch of Paradise, Romeo’s Heart, The Simple Life.
“When the War is Over” 2003 last time tour will blow you away.
Try out his duet with Barnsey, Jimmy Barnes, a Sam and Dave song, "When Something is Wrong with my Baby."
Farnsy and Barnsey! I like Australia more and more as these comments keep coming in. Appreciate you checking us out and there will certainly be more Farnham reactions coming along soon!!
One of Australia's great national treasures, John is now 73 years of age and recently had to undergo major surgery on cancer that was discovered in his mouth. We all hope and pray he will be able to sing again. One of the genuine nice guys in the music industry here in Oz...
Thats the thing you cant get sick of it. John THE VOICE THE G.O.A.T A Beautiful human ❤️ 😂🎉
John is just amazing!!!! He has been entertaining Australia since the 1960s! Love him!!
Yeah mate, he can sing alright!!
Don't go up against him in karaoke 🎤😂
Fantastic reactions Geoff … John is an amazing singer 👏👏👏
I have seen a few reactions of this vid, and only one reactor has ever caught John throwing the mike stand in the air and then catching it.
He really can sing anything, watch him and Anthony Warlow singing Granada it shows his talent and personality
There are so many more songs for you to react to…John is our national treasure..the Voice..we love him ❤
I agree with George Ibrahim and Dr_Kap who agrees with Carolyn H regards 'reacting' to John's performance from this same concert of The Beatles classic "Help" lol Love to see you getting into this I must have seen this performance a million times but it never ceases to give me goosebumps lol. More Please!! Sending you lots of love from Australia
Lmao we’re a tight knit little group! You could do a roll call on any Farnsey reaction within 24 hours of posting and guaranteed we’d all be present !
@@Dr_KAP 😜😜 Yep The Aussie Army lol 😘
I was like, wait for the mic stand toss..... AND YOU MISSED IT! :(
Yeah me too it's at 5:22 from behind, then he throws it to the side. Very frustrating everyone misses it. 👍
Yeah sometimes they're talking...and miss it...ah well... there's always tomorrow.

John Farnham is as good as it gets!! He is an absolute legend and the nicest bloke you could ever meet. Try watching John sing this at 70 years of age in 2019 with Cold Play he is as good as ever!!! And the crowd of mainly 20-30yo’s know every word of it and absolutely love him.
I seriously cannot say enough positive things about John.
John Farnham is in my opinion the best ever because he can sing any genre, he has a heap of range and he brings in that grit when he needs. Even when he hit 70 he sounded like he was still 40, amazing. John sings for his fans and for the love of singing, he really enjoys interacting with the crowd and even hits the high notes bending down shaking hands, just awesome. Yes John is an Aussie legend but he is loved just as much over here in New Zealand. He's not called THE VOICE for nothing he has such a unique voice.
Some other popular hits of his you'll want to hear are THAT'S FREEDOM th-cam.com/video/JWjtlMBl3Xo/w-d-xo.html, WHEN THE WAR IS OVER th-cam.com/video/BekbvlLzMWc/w-d-xo.html. Oh and Your The Voice is considered Australia's unofficial anthem.
If you want to see more of John - he is a good friend with Olivia Newton John and they have worked together several times. Here is their version of DARE TO DREAM at the Sydney Opening Ceremony of the Olympics 2000 - note use a VPN for Australia because mine was set for America and it won't let you see it - it works for Australia - th-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml0/w-d-xo.html Also the great concert THE MAIN EVENT with ONJ, John and Anthony Warlow (Australia's phantom from Phantom of the Opera): th-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/w-d-xo.html It's 2 hrs 38 mins. You will love it.
Also here is HELP (Beatles song) in the same concert with the MSO:- th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html It's John's rendition and I think it was John Lennon that saw it and loved it. If you want to see vintage Farnham from 1967, here is his first TV performance for SADIE THE CLEANING LADY which he made a hit back then and he became the King of Pop. He was 18 then:- th-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/w-d-xo.html
By the way he is known down here as THE VOICE.
We're all someone's daughter. We're all someone's son. I love it
John just announced that he is free and clear of Cancer
Congrats John
John is a legend love him and his songs.
Awesome reaction to an awesome performer thankyou

One female singer nobody has reacted to is Wendy Mathews, love the song the day you went away
He is so important to us 🇺🇸..this song came out before I turned 10 so it is a classic.great reaction.new sub
We love him ❤

Well done!
What a wonderful reaction.
He hasn't gone by "Johnny" in 50 years. I have seen John perform LIVE and it was fantastic. While the studio versions are great, the LIVE versions are better.
The only Australian singer to have top 10 hits in 5 consecutive DECADES.
Loves in need ...live....amazing grace with vendetta fields and Lindsay field
Johns's version of Black Dog is a revelation. Also if you like a bagpipe check the AC/DC 'Long way ro the top' film clip with Bon Scott .
I subscribed in the hope you will listen to John sing Help live with the Melbourne Orchestra, also live him and Jimmy Barnes "Something is wrong with my baby"
Great reaction. 😄
we love him so sad he'll never sing agin but his or the movie coming out about his life will be fuckin amazeballs ,,thanx mate 4 posting this 🇦🇺🤗
This is not cheesy in any way at all. John Farnham is the best singer ever.
Great reaction bud. I grew up listening to that voice. Not sure if you have heard but John is having throat cancer surgery at the moment. We are all hoping he makes a full recovery. I would really appreciate it if you could react to any of the many artists and even ads that have been produced since the seekers first realised the song I am Australian a wonderful song that gives all Aussies so much pride
He is a great singer, and hopefully he can continue, he has just had a cancer removed from his mouth, with a jaw being reconstructed.
John Farnham is “The Voice”
Did you the see the mic stand chuck in the air
And catch and throw! He has incredible hand/eye coordination while singing incredible notes.
If you think that’s good, being at a live concert as most of commenting have seen him live - is SO much better - 50 years of John entertaining us here - how dam lucky are we. I bet others have described here, why he’s sadly stopped performing in his 70s 💞
G'day mate glad to see an American with taste in music! If you like this then check out John Farnham singing " Playing to Win" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, you will love it!
Hi from Australia. John is a fantastic vocalist, but then we have an awful lot of amazing vocalists and bands. Anyway, hope you enjoy any exploration of Aussie music you do
Watch him sing live remixes
Led zeppelin black dog
AC/DC long way to the top
Beatles help
With his back up singer Lisa Edwards (ANGEL'S) this shows john's real personality comedian
With others back up singers venetta fields and Lindsay fields ( AMAZING GRACE)
With another Aussie ledgens John With Jimmy barnes and johnny diesel (SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BABY)
But pretty much anything from last 5 decade's will do of Farns'y noise every decade
Just make sure if live versions their the one's to watch
You'll like Jimmy barnes as much if you like Farns'y
Australia has many great singers even now in present day females as well
Welcome to the rabbit hole 🕳
Love the mic stand toss. A lot of people miss it. 5:23 😊
Omg that's the best reaction by far I'm glad you love John as much as we (us aussies) do xx ❤❤💔🥺 I sing along to this song and all his songs every time, being Australian "you're the voice" is our unofficial anthem & has been for 36yrs now ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Loovee John with all my heart & yesss he IS the VOICE!!!
He means so much to all us Aussies xx when I heard he had cancer my heart sank💔🥺 but I hear he's recovering very well from surgery (he had some of his jaw removed) but he probably wont ever sing again but I'm glad he's doing good xx
Check out Robbie williams singing "you're the voice" at AFL grand final he tribute the song to farnesy who was watching from his hospital room & was very touched by Robbie's performance 😢 tbh it made me cry xx but yeah check it out...

THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR LOVELY REATION

John does this song every performance for the last 37 years
and especially every Benefit Concert thrown together to raise funds for disasters.
2009 he did it with "Coldplay" for "Sound Relief" th-cam.com/video/19JN50bLKjY/w-d-xo.html
But this performance [ th-cam.com/video/lqjNWuM2z-Q/w-d-xo.html ] was the last one he did.
The benefit was for the massive bushfires at the start of 2020 with Sir Brian May of "Queen" and Olivia Newton John. Also Mitch Tambo singing it in Indigenous Language
John was 70yo in this and it could be the last time we ever have a video recording of him perform this.
So fitting it was with his Livy too! 💕 Enjoy! CHOOKAS! 💖
Check him out singing Grenada with Anthony Warlow
Check out Burn for You, and also Touch of Paradise. You won't be disappointed.
Love the reaction new subscriber but please react to help with the MSO
Please do a reaction of John Farnham singing ‘Burn for You’.
He is the voice , by the way he doesn't like to be called Johnny just John and yes he is God here
In Germany this song is an anthem

Aboriginal Aussies and John Farnham are our National Treasures in my opinion.
Love and Peace to all.❤

You need to keep an eye on John's mike stand
Replay this song and watch him throw the mic stand 4 metres in the air and catch it again without skipping a beat
Around the 3:40 time
Much love from New Zealand :-) Love to see you do Harry Mack (Omegel Bars 72) freestyles off the top to strangers the reactions are worth it and he doesn't copywrite his content so its free to use, and you will get a lot of Mack fans subbing. (if you never heard of him you should not look and make your reaction a true First time reaction)
Check your vid at 5:22.. what does he do with the Mic stand?? Insane!
15,000 people in that arina
Watch it again mate. You missed the mike stand throw and catch!
Have you done burn for you by John farnham
It’s a truly great song, and as good as the studio version is the live renditions are always better. Here’s a few random ones: Coldplay (with the grandkids of his original fans singing every word) and with Queen (who he almost fronted after Freddy passed) th-cam.com/video/19JN50bLKjY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/lqjNWuM2z-Q/w-d-xo.html
Don't call him Johnny. Please.
“Cheesy” almost caused a war….lol.
