John is 74 and retired now, especially after major surgery for cancer in his mouth and jaw. He’s at home with wife, Gillian, resting and recovering. We all love this wonderfully loveable Aussie larrikin!
What a way to start my day here in Australia 🇦🇺 John can sing any genre and is the G.O.A.T. THE VOICE. He is a truly beautiful person with the most versatile techniques. He has perfect pitch and can switch his voice to suit whatever he is singing. Love our John ❤️ ♥️ 💕
John Farnham. He IS and always will be "THE Voice" He also did a brilliant performance in multiple concert performances ofJesus Christ Superstar...🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Never tire of John's performances. We are so blessed to have so much saved video's of him over the years. He was just pure joy to watch and hear. Great reaction although you cut if off a little too soon. this was one of 2 encores and I love the way he thanks the audience etc...He loves his fans so much.
Just to show Johns versatility, "Granada". Sung with Anthony Warlow, a trained opera singer. (Another great Aussie talent, bty.) Both comedy gold as well.
I think more Aussie's know all the words to this than know all the words to the national anthem. Play it anywhere and you'll be able to identify all the Australians within the first three bars. We're looking around for the rest of our tribe so we can pubscream this together.
Thank you for your great reaction to our national treasure. John is amazing, especially on stage. I've been to dozens of his concerts throughout the 50+ years I've been following him, and I've never seen him put less than 110% into every song he sings in them. I'd love you to react to 'When The War Is Over' live from Whispering Jack concert. Also 'Touch Of Paradise' live from the Chain Reaction concert. The more reactions you do to John Farnham, the more Aussies will flock to your channel and subscribe to you and the more your channel will grow. We adore our Farnsey!!!! He is the GOAT!!!!
Loved your reaction to John's performance of "The Voice". He always put everything into his performance because he loves the audience and that is why we will tell you to always listen to John's live performances. There are many more songs from this same concert with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for you to react to.
Great reaction. The further you travel down the Farnsey rabbit hole, you will realise that there is nothingnhe can't sing. He sure does know how to put on a show and interact with the crowd. Any song fro this concert is amazing.. Its a long waynto the Top, Pressure Down, Blow by Blow, Comic Converstions, Please Do t Ask Me, One, Touch of Paradise, Playing to Win, theres others i just cant think of them ATM. Then there's the Chain Reaction Concert, Expo 88 concert, which are also high quality and ple ty more concerts and tv appearancrs for you to discover. Try It's a Long Way to the Top next
Carolyn,,we meet again 😊 I thought of one I love, you forgot, that I don’t think , maybe, anyone has ever reacted to - John singing Old McDonald Had A Farm🎼 I love it - really 🐄🐕🐈⬛🐖 😊
John Farnham is Australian music Royalty ❤ Another brilliant song to check out is a duet of John Farnham with the other half of Aussie Royalty Jimmy Barnes, a song called "when something is wrong with my baby" or John Farnham's "Burn for you" Both are absolutely brilliant 💜
I have to disagree. Jim Barnes voice and range is nothing compared to John Farnhams. Been to Jim's concert and in no way was it anywhere near as great at John's performances.
@@CreativeDee that doesn't mean that Jimmy isn't Aussie music Royalty, just like Farnsy. They are both unique in their talents but both legends in their own right.
What a joy! To see you experiencing this song for the first time. It used to make me cry when I was younger. So deep and meaningful. Best male voice I've heard in my life time.
The line "How long can we look at each othr down the barrel of gun" was written for nuclear disarmament. "Composed by British songwriters Chris Thompson, Andy Qunta and Maggie Ryder in response to an anti-nuclear demonstration in London's Hyde Park in 1985."(Wiki) But the line applies to USA lack of gun laws, the Middle East & Ukraine. You will love his cover of The Beatles HELP
Do blow by blow please from the same concert i have ndver seen anyond do a reaction to it yet you'll be the first luv ya from aussie,aussie,aussie 😍😊😂😍
Check out his song Burn for you. Bloody brilliant song. My kids used to complain about me playing him so much, now they have parties no the Voice is always played
My heart and soul for 40 years. I was 5 when I fell in love with him 😊. He is amazing 😊 I’ve seen him live 2 times and it made my life xx Huge fan - just hearing this makes me emotional 🥹 We call him The Voice 😊 he IS The Voice 😊
John sang this in Timor Leste to the Aussie peace keeping force and the locals at a concert during the trouble with the temorese and the Indonesians. HE IS A LEGEND. And it poured down rain in the middle of the concert but that didn’t stop him and the other Aussie’s performing. Do yourself a favour and google John in East Timor.
John Farnham ( Farnsie )they call him here,down under ! He was born in (Portsmouth England ) to English parents ! Thats where he gets his great sense of humour from ! But honestly he’s a fantastic singer & very likeable! But sadly we haven’t seen him for a few years ,due to having cancer in his jaw !
First & second toss and catch, plus the second one across the stage, flicked up with his foot; never misses a beat! Also, there is a bit more at the end; John thanks his audience and the MSO. A real entertainer and gentleman.
Glad I saw this I just commented in agreement with others for you to react to The Voice I did say he just makes you feel like you can do any thing and love that he gives the audience their flowers too we so need it in todays climate I’m sad that John had cancer but happy to hear he is doing well what a legendary man ❤
Back in 1980, when Australia had lots of regular live variety shows, Don Lane, an American who migrated to Australia to take over from departing Irish comedian host, Dave Allen, John Farnham was a regular on Don’s Show, appearing several times a year because even at 31, he was much loved by Aussies. Don knew Sammy Davis Jr and Sammy appeared on the show too a few times over the years. On this occasion, they were both with Don. Don and Sammy are both gone now. Not sure if you can review it, but at least watch it! th-cam.com/video/EkS1US9QqxY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JJPyI_pjH60WlLzL
You need to add to your John Farnham reviews ‘Amazing Grace’ song with two of his back up singers taking the lead. If I recall on shows he was involved (Such as the in the round version of Jesus Christ Superstar ‘Gethsemane’ from the last performance in Sydney after a massive Australian tour - th-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/w-d-xo.html ) he would have all the singers warm up for the performance with this song. th-cam.com/video/6danLkCJoFI/w-d-xo.html
Australia loves him, but unfortunately due to the removal of part of his tongue because of cancer of the mouth, we will never hear his voice in song again.
John is 74 and retired now, especially after major surgery for cancer in his mouth and jaw. He’s at home with wife, Gillian, resting and recovering. We all love this wonderfully loveable Aussie larrikin!
Breaks my heart we'll never hear his voice again, but what a legacy! ❤❤❤
John Farhnam is just about the nicest, coolest guy in Australia.
What a way to start my day here in Australia 🇦🇺 John can sing any genre and is the G.O.A.T. THE VOICE. He is a truly beautiful person with the most versatile techniques. He has perfect pitch and can switch his voice to suit whatever he is singing. Love our John ❤️ ♥️ 💕
Australia’s second National Anthem from a national treasure. Play that anywhere & you’ll find the Aussies! 😂🇦🇺
seek out the 2023 documentary "John Farnham: Finding the Voice", brilliant!
Oh so beautiful to see someone just finding John Farnham.
John Farnham.
He IS and always will be "THE Voice"
He also did a brilliant performance in multiple concert performances ofJesus Christ Superstar...🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Listen to A TOUCH OF PARADISE !!
Such an incredible song and John's incredible voice!
OMG MY FAVOURITE!! I was supposed to dance my wedding dance to it but forgot ALL the cds I had picked out hahahaha

Old McDonald Had A Farm🎼
I love it - really 🐄🐕🐈⬛🐖
😊
@@bernadettelanders7306 yep that's hillarious too
@@carolynh8866 I fort u was gunna yell at me 😂😂.
Yeah I wonder if anyone will ever react to Farnham’s Farmyard 🐷
Start of wintry weather in Sydney today, what a lift to the spirits this is. Thank you!!
This song is a miricle ❤❤❤❤
Regarding the bagpipes… a lot of us Celts live in Australia. We haven’t lost our heritage 👍🏻
Also used by AC/DC in It’s a Long Way to the Top with the brilliant Bon Scott. Perfection!
It always makes me laugh a little when 1st time reactors are "Bagpipes...😲😲😲' to Aussies it's a given the song needs the bagpipes
A true ICONIC Aussie… His Whispering Jack Album was my very first Album ever when I was 12, I played it till the cassette tape SNAPPED ❤❤❤
John Farnham is Australian music Royalty ❤
Another brilliant song to check out is a duet of John Farnham with the other half of Aussie Royalty Jimmy Barnes, a song called
"when something is wrong with my baby" or
John Farnham's "Burn for you"
Both are absolutely brilliant 💜
I have to disagree. Jim Barnes voice and range is nothing compared to John Farnhams. Been to Jim's concert and in no way was it anywhere near as great at John's performances.
@@CreativeDee that doesn't mean that Jimmy isn't Aussie music Royalty, just like Farnsy.
They are both unique in their talents but both legends in their own right.
@@nadamuches1049 , I understand what you are saying however my opinion is that apples and bananas have no comparison same as John F and Jim B.
John and Tom Jones did a live song together "my Yiddish Momme' on a show called Hey Hey It's Saturday.
2 extraordinary voices
His album Whispering Jack !!!
Great album
All from the 90 s
Went to many of these concerts
Amazing to be there live
Miss them
What a joy! To see you experiencing this song for the first time. It used to make me cry when I was younger. So deep and meaningful. Best male voice I've heard in my life time.
Check out the studio version and listen to the lyrics. This song has a message that only a performer that lasted generations can deliver.
The line
"How long can we look at each othr down the barrel of gun"
was written for nuclear disarmament.
"Composed by British songwriters Chris Thompson, Andy Qunta and Maggie Ryder in response to an anti-nuclear demonstration in London's Hyde Park in 1985."(Wiki)
But the line applies to USA lack of gun laws, the Middle East & Ukraine.
You will love his cover of The Beatles HELP
this was ( in my eyes ) the best song in the 80/90 s....i love the song
Always was /is a true showman who could always actually sing ....
Just watched your take on Help, and you were shocked by the sax. Had to find your reaction to the bagpipes!
Do blow by blow please from the same concert i have ndver seen anyond do a reaction to it yet you'll be the first luv ya from aussie,aussie,aussie 😍😊😂😍
oi oi oi
Australian National Anthem as far as I'm concerned x
Yep 😊
Totally
Try listening to “Burn for you”. Amazing
Check out his song Burn for you. Bloody brilliant song. My kids used to complain about me playing him so much, now they have parties no the Voice is always played
My heart and soul for 40 years. I was 5 when I fell in love with him 😊. He is amazing 😊 I’ve seen him live 2 times and it made my life xx Huge fan - just hearing this makes me emotional 🥹
We call him The Voice 😊 he IS The Voice 😊
We need to share the comedic side of Farnsy with this guy..! 😂
John sang this in Timor Leste to the Aussie peace keeping force and the locals at a concert during the trouble with the temorese and the Indonesians. HE IS A LEGEND. And it poured down rain in the middle of the concert but that didn’t stop him and the other Aussie’s performing. Do yourself a favour and google John in East Timor.
Just for fun; check out his very first hit, in the 60s; "Sadie the Cleaning Lady"...😂😂😂
Time to go back to the start of his career and see if you find a good version of Sadie the Cleaning Lady his first number one in Australia
Don’t just dont he hated that song
John Farnham ( Farnsie )they call him here,down under ! He was born in (Portsmouth England ) to English parents ! Thats where he gets his great sense of humour from !
But honestly he’s a fantastic singer & very likeable! But sadly we haven’t seen him for a few years ,due to having cancer in his jaw !
Yes more John Farnham. So many more great songs.
At 4:16 you commented on the lights but totally missed the mic stand flick in the air and catching it before throwing it offstage.
You should listen to When the war is over, great song. He’s a great singer and an absolute amazing guy.
Always the best no one can sing like JF his voice so deferent no voice like Jf❤❤❤
I think that you missed the mic stand toss and catch
First & second toss and catch, plus the second one across the stage, flicked up with his foot; never misses a beat! Also, there is a bit more at the end; John thanks his audience and the MSO. A real entertainer and gentleman.
Check out John Farnham and Coldplay duet at the Sound Relief concert..!
Aussie legend!!!!
Best song and a great singer.
Loved everything about this .
The Best protest anthem EVER
Glad I saw this I just commented in agreement with others for you to react to The Voice I did say he just makes you feel like you can do any thing and love that he gives the audience their flowers too we so need it in todays climate I’m sad that John had cancer but happy to hear he is doing well what a legendary man ❤
You guy need to check out his early stuff. (Sally the cleaning lady) from Australia

Look For When the War Is Over.
Such a nice uplifting song, your right.
Hey man you gotta listen to the rest of that concert!!
You need to add to your John Farnham reviews ‘Amazing Grace’ song with two of his back up singers taking the lead.

❤🇦🇺
Should be a World Anthem
pure 60s style protest song
If you haven't already seen this, check out this version of this song th-cam.com/video/tEdweyPh-N8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Oo6CeryNEcTh3rYP
