NO-ONE, I repeat, NO-ONE, comes anywhere near to the GOAT, John Farnham, singing this evocative, meaningful, powerful, engrossing, huge ANTHEM of a message song, with a fabulous symphony orchestra, for the greater good in the world ! ! ! He is called, 'The Voice' for this reason. ! ! ! A little ditty-style from a thin, delicate voice with a basically strummed guitar won't do it! (PS. John sang this song in Germany to a massive outdoor audience, who sang with him, not long before the Berlin Wall came down !)
Thanks Bo
See my other responses
Thanks
Each to his own. Farnham every day of the week!
Agreed, each to his or her own!! Thanks Rick
....um.... each to there own.... but Johns is the only version for me....the original and the best.... good luck trying to better it...
Totally agree!
To each his or her own! I liked them both a lot
Yes, and I’ll add some extra information that David Hirschfelder, John’s pianist, imparted in the documentary “John Farnham: Finding The Voice”. (It’s on TH-cam.) He reminded us that this epic song came out only a few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of West and East Germany. Until then I hadn’t linked the effect it had on the whole of the UK and Europe. It was a catalyst for change and the German people took it on board. I was in London in 1989 and the euphoria about that event was palpable.
The concert had a similar effect on the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. They said they felt the excitement and happiness of this concert for days afterwards. The crowd and their symbiotic relationship with John can be paraphrased with how Evita Peron was described with the people of Argentina - they were hers and she was theirs. John invoked that famous line “the power to be powerful” and the audience followed him.
Several voice coaches have reviewed his video and all have remarked that John’s voice makes him one of the top few male singers in the world. Céline Dion has said the same and invited him to sing “The Voice” at her concert in Australia. It’s on TH-cam. I don’t think that Aurora’s voice has enough power to translate this song as it was first intended by its composers - ie. to bring about nuclear disarmament. However, I do understand that “Anothercoverlover”would resonate with Aurora as they have a similar organic neurodiversity.
@r.fairlie7186 I was with you until the very last sentence then I got confused!
Anyway thank you for the information.
Loved the info on the wall falling down and the impact it made. I never knew this and didn’t know JF I till my bride and I heard this song on a silly movie some years ago. I meant no disrespect as I believe neither did the person who requested it.
I really like both of these artist. I wasn’t comparing JF and Aurora, I was just doing a request for a subscriber.
I believe you can like both. And as I’ve said to others, take a listen to Aurora in her later years. You might be surprised!!
Thank you!
@@Anothercoverlover62 Perhaps I can add to your query by passing on some knowledge of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which I think you and Aurora might have. I have it too but it took 69 years to be diagnosed by a sports medicine specialist. He worked it out in just 10 minutes. It’s a genetic collagen / connective tissue disorder that’s very much under-diagnosed in society. You and Aurora are expressing different physical signs but I’m copying two websites that may clarify the links and/or possible comorbidities. Neurodiversity may be the word that you found confusing. The first website is by a psychiatrist in Arizona who has hEDS herself and the second website is by a hEDS researcher in Oregon who has a diagnosis of Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder. I have the highly arthritic version, with a lot of tendon and ligament tears. I have severe labral tears in both hips. My X-rays, CT and MRI scans look like I’m 90 years old but my facial skin looks younger than my photo here. I’m nearly 72.
I hope that the information that Sharon and Jan have shared will make more sense after you’ve read all the sections. One clear sign that I’ve noticed is that we tend to have wounds that heal with either hypertrophic or keloid scars (mine are hypertrophic). We can also be sensitive to certain anaesthesia, gluten and dairy. I’ll leave it there for the moment for you to absorb and if you’d like to ask me more questions that aren’t covered in either website please contact me on Messenger or Facebook.
www.rccxandillness.com. (Dr Sharon Meglathery (holistic psychiatrist)
www.ohtwist.com (Jan Groh, a very experienced EDS researcher who has Asperger Syndrome - as do many with EDS).
Both websites have a private Facebook group that anyone can ask to join if they suspect they may have loose joints and some of the EDS comorbidities. One classic sign that I noticed with you is that you have curved thumbs. Dr David Samra, the doctor who diagnosed me, has this sign as well. He has a TH-cam channel where he discusses various musculoskeletal conditions and you can see his thumbs there. His website is www.drdavidsamra.com.au. Some people who are hypermobile don’t have all the detrimental signs like frequent joint dislocations. My joints don’t - they sublux instead every month or so. (Our in-joke is “My back went out last night and still hasn’t come home!) Happy reading… Robyn F.
I just like the fact that people are covering John's epic song. From Tommy Johanson who completely rocked it out, to Celine Dion one of the few people in the world who could really do the song justice, John's mate Tom Jones who's incredible voice was able to give the song depth....to this young lady who did a lovely job. She has an interesting and pretty voice and this is a very cool cover. But the song is an anthem with a huge message to give to the world. Her version was basically just singing the words with no passion as at her young age she doesn't have the life experience to put behind the vocals express the meaning of the song. But cudos to her for having a go.
An excellent comment at the end regarding the worth in the song's meaning which John expressed.
I think she showed a lot of passion for a little one! Thanks for your response Carolyn!!
@@Anothercoverlover62
Thankyou for taking the time to reply to every single comment. That's a wonderful way to interact with your viewers which very few reactors do. I've gone and listened to a few more Aurora's videos now...as you seem quite passionate about her. So if everyone who doesnt know her does the same then that's something that will bring her more notice in the world. And hopefully the same thing happens for John Farnham. Over the last few years thanks to reactors he is finally getting the recognition outside of Australia that he deserves.
One thing about Farnsey fans is that they are fiercely loyal. We find it hard to beleive anyone can sing as good as him lol.
Thanks again
@carolynh8866 thanks Carolyn! I really think it’s my duty to respond when I can. If I’m sick it might take longer but I’ll respond!
I definitely opened a hornets nest with JF and Aurora reaction! I’ve had a few in the past but not many that were this vehemently opposed to Auroras version.
This was a request that I promised to do so I did.
I love Aurora back then and now as she has a very unique voice. I love JF and his power and the symphony behind him.
I really refuse to let this turn into a competition, I didn’t start out this channel to be that. If it goes that way I’ll shut it down!
I’m hoping people see the value in both artists! You are certainly welcome to like one better as is your choice. But to say such terrible things about the other artist is wrong and hurtful.
One last thing, I think if people really knew what it takes to get to these levels they might keep opinions to themselves!!
The point I try to stress is no one “sucks” they are just different
Sorry so long winded
Thanks again!!
@@Anothercoverlover62 all good. After watching a few Aurora videos now I can see she is very talented artist and has a pretty unique style which is totally different to JF. It is impossible to compare as they both bring something completely different to the song. And it should not be seen as a competition given the completely different styles both these artists have. I did actually like Auroras cover..but personally I prefer Farnham for this song just because it and JF have been a huge part of our Aussie culture for decades. The song is still played almost daily on our radios and at every major event in Australia. From Australia Day to sporting events. So it would never be fair to compare JF singing it to any other artist. (At least to any Australian)
Given the platform in which you work...it's interesting to see how people from other parts of the world, who don't have that decades long history with the song and with JF respond to other versions.
And like I said at the very beginning, I absolutely appreciate the fact that other artists across the world have discovered the song and like it so much that they even want to do a cover of it.
Plesse don't take the negative comments to heart.
I've seen the Aurora types 1000s of times at Karaokes. Best left to the flawless Farnham
Aurora is unique and that’s a fact!
@@lillm6874 Truth! She is a very talented singer.
@@Oldperson-wt3ui Exactly! And for those who say otherwise obviously have no clue🫣🥰
I doubt you’ve seen an Aurora type at any karaokes! I think anyone should cover whatever they like with the understanding people will judge them no matter what!
I loved both versions, I really did!!
Oh my, what a statement, 1000's of Auroras at karaokes. Lol. I have only come to know this amazingly talented young woman recently but she is a unique artist who creates magical worlds with her music. You can not like this performance it won't matter to Aurora she has gone on to much bigger things in her career. As well as her music listening to interviews with her she is articulate and brilliant. She will not be concerned with any negative opinions expressed here.
I must say it’s nice to see some covers of John’s classic there is no voice as powerful as John’s with his range and strength and stage presence agree John help v the Beatles a good comparison to do
Thank you it’s on the list!!
Aurora and John were great but the Epic one by John Farnham with the orchestra it’s just a hard one to beat. But I love listening to them both. Have a good evening and take care.
Thanks James!!
For me it’s the Farnham version that is the best, without any contest at all. But John himself has always seemed very respectful and supportive other musicians, I reckon he’d congratulate Aurora on her version.
That’s awesome to know! Wow, I would think he would appreciate what it takes to cover a song like his!
Thanks Kaz that post made my evening!!!
Let's face it, we really should wait until her voice develops. Oh, and until she learns the words.
HaHaHa!!! It was a request by the way…
Aurora was very sweet, she has a beautiful voice, and she sung the song beautifully, but you can not compare the two, chalk and cheese, by the way, on the full MSO version of this song, a young boy sings the first few lines a cappella - before the claps and drums and John. link for full clip - th-cam.com/video/yzUK1roF4Sw/w-d-xo.html - I add a slice of lemon to my Black Tea and honey for coughs and colds, - hope you are feeling better soon,
Thanks Jay! Not trying to compare these two as they are very different
However, I liked them both!
I hate I missed the boy but I’ll check it out
This was a request so I respect that and I hope all responses do as well!!
Also, thanks for the suggestion on black tea, I’ll certainly try it
one can't really compare both performances. john farnham and the orchestra is very epic, aurora and the guitar and backing vocals of odd martin is on the other side of epic, it's purity, the reduced essence of the song. i really like both versions and i love the young aurora in her fresh expressiveness which comes along with the right portion of naivety demanded by the lyrics. thanks a lot for doing this comparison.
Thanks TX! I thought they were both epic!!
Farnseys the goat...no-one compares
@@SG-ke1wv I’ve got quite of his videos up as well
I hope you can watch others!
I just want to say that Aurora has a lovely voice! I’ve heard her sing another song and she was good, however you REALLY can’t beat John’s version! That’s why he is THE VOICE!
Thanks Wendy
I’m sure I wasn’t trying to beat John’s voice. Aurora has a unique voice all her own! Just trying to do a request
👍😍😍❤️
I don't understand why people feel the need to denigrate one to praise the other.
@@clint6872 Absolutely agreed! I keep saying anyone who has come to this level is not better thank just different!
Yikes. Farnsey for me.
I’m glad you liked it!

@@Anothercoverlover62 Thanks
Even in alphabetical order, impressive
@@Dave-hb7lx Lol, copied and pasted, I have a feeling that this isn't even all of her covers, 😉
Always great watching your reactions. Now here's a different idea.......how about a comparison video of John Farnham singing the Beatle's song HELP.......now you can compare John to the Beatles or there is a video out there of John in concert singing the Beatles version and immediately following up with his own version....do compare John with John singing two versions of the same song ........I did say it was a novel idea. here is the link-----
th-cam.com/video/VD5Vt6zx_to/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=eXDax
yes, Chain Reaction, I love both versions , Compare John with John, but then again, every concert when John sings it it is a bit different, so we can compare John with John, with John with John with John with.......
Thanks Ken! I need to do this and it’s been on the list for while
I’ll get it done
I was very impressed with John Farnham and the Symphony Orchestra, that Melbourne Symphony was killing it, and the back up singers, everything was very impressive, but, I really love Aurora's cover, I pay attention to the lyrics when Aurora sings, her voice is so crisp and clear and of course, I love her voice above all others. Her movements, that was Aurora just being part of the music, she did that a lot when she was younger and the guitar player was a band mate, Odd Martin. She was nervous performing when she was younger, now she enjoys it and she moves much more gracefully, she is a dancer and it shows in her performances. Thanks.
Agreed!
Pity she can’t sing in tune, and not really the sort of voice for a power anthem.
@@jano9091 Pity you find the need to be insulting. I am really happy I don't care about your opinion.
@@Oldperson-wt3ui that works both ways 👍
@@jano9091 Evidently not since you felt the need to be insulting on my comment, that means that you care about my opinion
Robbie Williams is the only singer I've heard go close to doing justice to a cover of this song. This version.....doesn't.
Thanks for watching Jeff!
To me the ME generation doesn't sing to me. They sing to themselves.
My 'me' counter suggests, that you are a member of the "ME generation". 😉
@i_am_m3384 baby boomer. In fact the me generation don't say me very often...because they like to be the subject of the sentence.
What does that mean Rick? What generation would either of these artist be in? Just wondering
Thanks!
@Anothercoverlover62 in my observation...most singers from my generation last century sing to and for their audience. They project. They play big venues.They sing live with instruments. Most singers from this century become famous singing to a mic in their bedroom. No projection. No sense that they need an actual audience. Usually not live.Often no instruments. It gives a totally diffetent feel...which leaves me feeling disenfranchaised. And dissatisfied. I don't feel they're singing for me. There is no engagement. John goes out of his way to engage with his audience. Aurira does not. I can only assume she doesn't want me in her audience...it's just such a different approach.
@@rickandersen2284 check out her later stuff you might change your mind
I think most newer singers you and I don’t know have reasons for staying out of the spotlight
That’s a much larger conversation that I’d love to get into when it’s not 4:45 am where I am
But let’s keep this going Rick!!
Thanks brother
John Farnham is an absolute legend. His vocal technique, power, timbre, flexibility, agility and range are hard to match. Then add his warm and entertaining personality + MSO and you have an incredibly EPIC performance.
Unfortunately I could not sit through the cover 😢 I found it awful and insulting 😞
Sorry you felt that way! I’m sure the person who suggested it would disagree!
@@Anothercoverlover62 I'm sure they would 🙂
And it's not to say I don't appreciate that type of vocal either. I do. I just personally don't think Aurora is the best in that genre of music/vocal.
I know music has many subjective elements but if we isolate purely the technical components, there is absolutely no comparison.
Thanks for your reaction though! We can agree to disagree.
Oh my goodness how embarrassing, is that a high school band? Try to find John singing Your The Voice at the Fire Fight concert a couple of years ago, he was in his 70's and sounded the same. Also him singing HELP at the same Melbourne concert, it was his encore after a couple of hours on stage. No-one comes close to John, no-.one.
I enjoyed them both. If this was a Highschool band it was sent to me to react to. Not trying to say Auroras is better, merely different
@@Anothercoverlover62 My comment, probably a little harsh, came when the young lady started singing, it was sheer shock after seeing John's performance and I apologise to you and to her (?Aurora, the group name or hers)? Maybe if she sang something (NOT that song) in isolation without John bouncing around in my head I'd have enjoyed it. I couldn't watch her entire performance, my perception is not everyone's I know, music is so subjective but key for me is I have to believe the singer is feeling the lyrics and the girl just wasn't IMO.
@@Reefsider-fq4sk i understand
She was however very young in this video
I’ve done lots of older Aurora on this channel I’d urge you to check out or go direct and search her channel. I find her quite amazing
Again, I understand the dichotomy of John’s powerhouse voice against her “little gnomes dancing through the woods” voice
But it was a request and I always try to honor those
I will say it’s been a while since I created such an uproar with a video reaction!!
I had at least one person unsubscribe and they let me know!
In reality I’ve probably had more than one
Any no apologies necessary to anyone
Thanks for watching and responding intelligently!! Take care Reefsider!!!
Everyone has an opinion but personally Auroras version butchered what is an Aussie classic.
I tried...I really tried, but her version did nothing for me...sorry.
So interesting to watch John, who is so genuine and lacking in pretence, and then watch Aurora, who seemed so self-consciously and deliberately "quirky". I couldn't even watch the whole thing tbh, as it made me cringe a bit, just felt very contrived to me. First time watching her - her voice was definitely nice, but for me it didn't do this song justice, and I guess I just don't vibe at all with the level of image-consciousness that seems to be the norm these days.
Everyone is certainly welcome to his or her opinion! I hope you know that putting Aurora against John is not designed to be a competition! I really thought they both served it up their own way
I doubt Aurora was trying to mimic John
I think she was having fun singing a song very well.
Some said they couldn’t finish her part because of her movements
I understand that, but again to each his/her own but I enjoyed it
I remember my young ones acting like that and I enjoyed it so much
Anyway, God Bless
@Saan42 she was very young in this video! Young girls especially tend to be self absorbed but not so much when they get older! Thanks Saan
Not knocking Aurora....just saying, some songs, particularly anthems should not be messed with..........this is one of them.
Unsubscribed
Sorry to see you go!
@@Anothercoverlover62subscribed Anothercoverlover, thanks for defending Aurora
