I had the pleasure and honour of directing that concert for John in 1990, (and editing half the songs, including this one), as well as directing/editing 3 of his music videos (Chain Reaction, That's Freedom and Talk of the Town). I worked with a lot of singers and bands, both Aussie's and overseas singers, and John will always remain at the top of my list as the best singer I ever worked with. And such a great person. Thanks so ,much for the upload and reaction. This brought back some wonderful memories.
Love from Australia. Another great reaction to the legendary John Farnham. Your comments are much appreciated. Keep up the good work and ignore the haters and trolls. Don't waste your time on these losers.
Interesting take on Stevie’s classic from his Songs In The Key of Life album. There are some very brief Acapella moments in his version but I did not expect this from Mr. Farnham. It was really stunning. Yes, you should listen to Stevie’s original, just for context, so you can really appreciate what a great cover this is. Nice comments on John and what he had to say about your journey through his music. Love ya bro.
You should listen to the live version of 'Amazing Grace' featuring two of his back up singers - Venetta in particular - it is sooooo good - her voice is amazing and moving - In Australia we call people chopping down others as the 'Tall Poppy' syndrome - it is nearly always based on some sort of jealousy or envy of those who are doing something right or popular - which really only highlights their own insecurities and not your failing. Don't give the haters your time.
I am so pleased that John has reached out to you. He would appreciate what you do and say so much. He appreciates all those wonderful qualities that you display on a daily basis.
Isn’t that just wonderful. I have listened to this too many times to count and I still love hearing it so much. John is just the best. We do need some Stevie Wonder on the channel. I would love to hear his version as well.
I am delighted that you are back. Your reactions are seriously the best. You articulate beautifully about the music you hear. I’ve never heard this either and I’m a Stevie Wonder fan. Thank you!!!
You're an absolutely amazing reactor and great person.. I love people that just says it how it is and what they feel and think... Another brilliant reaction ❤
Michael, I had never heard this song before either so after hearing John and the bands cover I had to listen to Stevie's original and I have to say that John's cover is just stunningly better in my opinion. Fantastic reaction as usual as love your voice as well!! ❤❤
Beautiful words, my man. Love the honesty of your reactions, and that raw love of music and musicians. Keep it up! Doesn’t surprise me at all that Farnham would have said nice things about you.
Not sure if you've reacted to John's cover of All in Love is Fair by Stevie Mike... you would love the live of that too... the best one (even though the quality isn't fabulous) is the one in the grey silk shirt... (which he probably hated his stylist for after being under those lights and sweating profusely for 3+hours hahaha )
There was some serious talent in there with John. Miss Venetta who I have learned to love dearly, she kissed the flowers off his face. She was the backup, touring and session singer in for many famous people like Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Steely Dan, Graham Nash and I refuse to name the other one I know. She was in Barbra Streisand’s A Star is Born and she sang in other movies. If you heard her sing the first verse of Amazing Grace with John then you know what she can do. I still don’t know how she became a part of John’s family but I am so grateful she did. She teaches voice and lives about 4 hours South of me now. She could have had any career she wanted singing or acting. I recognised 3 others of his backup singers all amazing but there was other talent there that just come to sing with John. John has taught me that everyone has a name and a life on his stage and a very special place. That he isn’t, he thinks, who he is without them. He is but they add something else wonderful. Thank you and I am a Stevie Wonder fan. I hadn’t heard this song until John.
You seem like a beautiful human being, I love your reactions and your comments .. especially for Farnsey. Keep going and leave the haters behind. This is another of my favourite Farnsey songs, thank you
Fabulous reaction again!! John and his whole band are amazing in what ever they do.Michael you are an intelligent, amazing and beautiful person and your voice is wonderful too. Ignore and forget the haters and stay true to yourself as we here in Australia love you. ❤❤
So very glad you did this one. Simply stunning a-capella by John & his entire band. The amount of talent is overwhelming. Again, John always willing to share the spotlight & highlight his amazing musicians. A true mark of the man. There is also video of John performing Superstition in the late 70s somewhere on TH-cam. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺💕
I always love and trust your comments on any artist, and of course your comments on John. And just like John, you gave credit to his backing singers. And yes, they and the band are absolutely world class. You'll notice in all his performances, he always gives credit to everyone on stage. But also credit to you mate, you have helped spread his magic around the world. Remember, haters will hate, but we love ya! G'day from Australia mate.
Great reaction, I love this song. Don't worry about the haters as the bible said to love those who hate you and pray for them. Your reaction is always enjoyable to watch, and looks forward to your account next reaction
He always showcases his exceptional band and backing singers. Love this performance so much. Have you seen John perform on stage with the brilliant Ray Charles ? It was so good they sang 'Imagine' half way through Ray's hearing aide wasn't working and John had to jump in with him lol. Some gorgeous moments captured forever on video. Thanks so much for this one sir, you're looking fighting fit and glad you're back. Love from Australia
This is simply beautiful, everyone in John’s band is a talented musician I love this number it shows the beauty of voices harmonising and making music without any other instruments.
Mike what beautiful words and vulnerability you expressed. Good on you keep it up you are a very considered and intelligent reactor who loves music and respects talent and I love that❤…I also love John 😊
Nice to see you so chilled in these last few reactions. Vanetta Fields used to sing back up for Tina Turner. I've been to see other very well known bands in Sydney specifically because Vanetta was in the mix. She's sung or recorded with Richard Clapton, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, James Morrison and John Farnham.
😊❤🗣Farnsey 🔥 - that Beautiful lady on Jonh's Right hand side is Venetta Fields and Performs a Beautiful Rendition of Amazing Grace with Lindsay Field aslo .... 👌✌️
If you want perfection from the voice? Try Blesetheme from the Aussie cast of Jesus Christ Super Star. He played/sung Jesus. Special ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m not even religious.😮

Loved, loved, loved. The entire performance by all
That was not just Johns backup singers but hes whole band ,crazy hay .so good.
Perfection comes in many forms, this is one of them, Love your reaction, again!!
I think you better sample John live doing In Days to Come. The message is strong. Civil Rights
That was special

John and band are beautiful people.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it always, John Farnham can sing anything and do it epically.
