Ana Luisa Jewelry: bit.ly/AndreaJewelry I RELEASED A NEW SONG: bit.ly/StreamPainting Ana Luisa Jewelry Amazon: amzn.to/3xChegK I am excited to be back with another John Farnham reaction, I always love to listen! He is such an unbelievable talent. Please let me know what I should watch next! I am currently dealing with some copyright problems on the other video I filmed so hopefully that resolves itself soon.
One of the greatest vocal duet performances that I have ever witnessed. And btw, these 2 musical gems were very good friends with the highest respect for one another.
And as far as I know John is still married to his first love. But I think there is a lot of emotional availability in both of them and they clearly have some chemistry. I would have kissed both of them after that performance. On the lips. And meant it. Because I also have a lot of emotional availability.
@@rosskelly8268 John is still married to the love of his life, Jill. Jill knows Olivia as John met Olivia as teenagers and had been very good friends until sadly Olivia passed . I’ve heard many say, and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit that John asked Jill about kissing Olivia in that song. Jill knew Olivia very well too. It was orchestrated, like in a movie . John adores his wife Jill .
J and ONJ were best friends who had a lot of respect for their vocal talents. ONJ once said John was her favourite singer. ONJ’s good friend Richard Marx also collaborated with John Farnham
John is married to the love of his life, he did ask permission before the kiss. Olivia (RIP) and John were such great friends. As he said during an earlier interview; "I'm married, not dead" when he was appreciating beautiful women. Yes, and such a gentleman; turning his head before he belts out some high notes; I imagine he would blow your ear drums out being so close if not careful. Pure talent and entertainment from both of them.
This is the most beautiful and romantic duet of all time. The knew each other since they were teenagers, and DID love each other, although they were never together. John was the last person Livvie spoke to before she passed and he was devastated when she died. You should read his public statement when she passed.
Livvy and John started out together at 16 and 17. John’s wife Jilly was also a good friend and she gave John permission to kiss Livvy in this song for the 3 months the Main Event Concert toured. There was never a romance but they were close, both kind and caring people. John was the last person Livvy spoke to on the phone before she passed with her family by her. Then his wife had to put him back together again. Livvy always came home to Australia when she was needed. She built the Cancer Wellness Centre in Melbourne and she did the annual walk to keep funding. Now her daughter is doing it with her niece. She also allowed people with cancer to come to her property here to stay at her retreat. John does many things the same for anyone who needs him. The main Event Concert also starred Anthony Warlow who is our main musical theatre star and Opera trained. Anthony just came through some really rough cancer treatment. Livvy and John were getting him back out there because that is who they are. If you want funny try John singing Opera with Anthony in this concert. The song is Granada. Thank you.
I’m yet to see a better duet with more passion and chemistry than this one. Give me chills every time. I so glad you can see the performance for what it was, magical.
Just the most beautiful duet by two of the most beautiful performers and people on the planet. Miss you Livvie ❤❤❤ Thank you Andrea for a great reaction. ❤❤
Loved your heartfelt reaction to this Andrea! I was lucky enough to attend two of the shows for "The Main Event" in Sydney and my hometown of Newcastle here in Australia, the entire show is a masterclass in performance for anyone to view. Thank goodness the entire concert was captured so beautifully on film. The CD, released in 1998, was a huge success and reached #1 on the Australian charts and has since gone 5 x Platinum and won the ARIA award for the highest selling album of the year, a VHS video of the concert was released in 1999 and the DVD released in 2001 with Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 sound clocking in at 159min. If you get a chance to watch it, I can highly recommend checking it out!
Thanks for this review, Andrea. Australian here - both John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John are Australian icons, especially for my generation (Boomers). I happen to be a fan of yours also, ever since you appeared on a few Dovydas videos.
Oh dear, tears for two beautiful voices, and tears for the loss of Olivia. This is just so beautifu, their voices merge so exquisitely. June'24. UK. E ❤
Love this performance, as u said its very cinematic! John even politely turns his head before belting. Boy john and Olivia are classy legends ❤ Oh exactly, very rare to see raw talent anymore! Such a shame.
I love your new song..❤ That kiss was just for the performance. They are both not only great singers but also great actors and definately could have been a dramatic love scene in a movie. Having said that they have actually been very close freinds since they were teens in the 60's, but have never dated. John has been married to the love of his life Jill since the early 70's. Which is a whole other love story. ❤❤
I don’t understand why reactors always jump to these conclusions- love duets have been done for hundreds of years and chemistry isn’t a rare thing in stage performances .. people said the same of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper yet they were just good friends 😊
@@FionaEm oh I wasn’t giving her a hard time my comment was a more general observation that many reactors tend to jump to the conclusion. Andrea knows i love her and her voice.
Thank you for your insightful reaction and sincere reaction, Andrea. This is truly a beautiful performance by John and Olivia 🥹 ❤ RIP Olivia, and I hope John is recovering very well 💞 🇦🇺
Thank you for doing more John! Subbed as I love your genuine and knowledgeable & insightful reactions, hoping to see you do more, there is so much from him to discover :)
John and Olivia were such close friends and when performing together they really connected with each other and you could see the love and admiration they had for each other. John really showcases his range with this one, I think that note he hits towards the end was possibly even higher than Olivia, also remember John, and Olivia were quite a bit older here and especially John’s voice still sounds flawless. Such a beautiful song this one that John has performed solo, with other singers as a duet but I think this version is the best by far. Awesome reaction to the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time and our little princess Olivia. We in Australia were so lucky to have had these, and some other wonderful home grown singer for so long.
yeah like she sung very well in this and played to her strength which is that subtle singing thing, cos shes cant over power john nobody could anyway. johns voice here is superb at meeting up at her level.
Your observations are so revealing of things I don't notice and so quick, unfiltered and interesting. And you make me laugh too:) Notifications switched on.
John and Olivia were friends from their late teens. They were both struggling for recognition in the same town, at the time. So they were sort of allies.
They were always great friends. John is still married to the love of his life. Unfortunately we lost Olivia after a few boouts of fighting cancer. Not long after John was diagnosed with jaw cancer and had to have a big part of his jaw emmoved. It wasn't known if he would ever talk again let alone sing but thankfully he has a voice. He is so much loved by people who follow all genres of music. To be honest Olivia did her best vocals with John. He has that effect on people.
Ty for your reaction to 2 aussie legends, from a time when the word Legend meant something. They were the best friends for a very long time and the kiss was simply love from one dear friend to another. A song that John made famous and when the three of them did this series of shows John Olivia and another great singer Anthony Warlow (Phantom of The Opera Fame) John asked Olivia to do a duet of this great song. John is now recovering from major cancer throat and jaw surgery and a major infection scare but he is home thankfully but may never sing again, God bless you mate and TY for the endless song list we have to look back with love..RIP our sweet "Livy" we miss you darling Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵
recent photo's of John at his sons wedding were released, It looks like the surgeons did astounding work at rebuilding his jaw. Can see the plastic surgery he needed, but it is very neat and tidy. It looks like he could very well sing again if he was so inclined.
You remind me of dido vocally when you sing you just cruise through your songs almost spoken at times ...relaxing 😅 farnham and olivia are 2 of Australia's best ever...nice reaction.
Both ONJ and JF are more than just singers. ONJ has had major acting roles in several movies including playing Sandy in the highly successful movie "Grease". JF has been one of the main characters in several major stage productions including playing Jesus for the entire season of the Australian stage production of "Jesus Christ Superstar". This pair have certainly earned their acting chops and it shows every time they perform either individually or as a duo act. They have also been friends and fellow performers in the same music industry, probably close friends, since their teenage years or early twenties.
John and Olivia were friends and had performed especially in the later years together on stage and in recordings. John does have musical theatre experience and Olivia is an actress, so they know how to perform. But both also have the ability to convey such emotion when they sing. This performance was from the Main Event concerts featuring Olivia, John and Anthony Warlow (Australia’s Phantom). It was absolutely superb. This particular song was actually a hit for John but the duet with Olivia is actually better!
Thank you for your terrific Reaction and appreciation of our two Aussie legends, John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John! No they didn't date, however I understand they have always been best friends with the greatest respect for each other. Please watch many more from this awesome concert called 'The Main Event' also with Anthony Warlow. Also please react to John Farnham and Olivia N-J. singing 'Dare To Dream' at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening Ceremony. xoxoxo
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but the main reason you never heard of John until youtube made his magic available to the world is that apart from a brief period touring as front man for Little River Band he decided that his wife and family was more important to him than international fame and fortune. John and Livvie (and John's wife Jill) were fast friends for decades. Their love was real, but not sexual. In the small circle that is the Australian entertainment industry, an affair between these two would have been all over the news, even when they were young. They are both talented performers as well as outstanding singers.
Jon was well and truly taken when he and Olivia first properly connected. The lyrics tell the story, the timing was never right for them to be together, but they undoubtably would have been one of music's most beautiful and enduring love stories if they had ever had the chance.
After decades of friendship they really are friends, Olivia came to his farm after her marriage failed to recoup and get her life back in order, so yeah there friends and he devastated when she died, her daughter chole told him at 2 am and he went there for her to help chole get through it , family he said always
This song is about the heartbreak of finally finding your soulmate when the other is already committed to marriage. The eternal torment of soul lovers torn by commitment.
I love your voice. I personally prefer this song sung by John alone, but that is not to say that I don’t love this duet. It is just that when he does it solo you get some sneak peaks into some vocal acrobatics that he doesn’t get a chance to show off in the duet. Nonetheless both are lovely.
Just Phenomenal- their duets such an example of two legends who shine brighter together. You might like their duet BURN FOR YOU too. Also, a new ‘lost vocal ‘ 09.27.2024 ONJ release MY DREAM…. a beautiful reminder of Olivia’s warm and regal vocals. Thank you for the reaction to appreciate these two as well. 🤍
Watching again, ON-J a remarkable duet partner to match her partners. John Farnham a vocal powerhouse...and their singing together sublime. Even as an international superstar, Olivia is under-rated. I alway think of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with these two singing to remember SHE does everthing he does to marry, just backwards and in high heels. Lovingly to compare. I saw a review of BURN FOR YOU solo since this post. I hope you enjoy their duet to review too. This song more operatic for Livvy, but that emotive lower register on Burn for you smoldering with John. I only wish they recorded more together. I asked ON-J about the idea of a collection of standards after their Holiday release ....she said, she just needed 'another lifetime'.
You would probably really enjoy watching John and Ray Charles sing and play off each other doing a random and unscripted rendition of Lennon's song Imagine. Ray was having trouble with his ear piece so the two decided to randomly sing an easy ab-lib version of Imagine to keep the crowd entertained while the sound crew fixed the ear piece.
These two did another concert together later called Two Strong Hearts. Their duet of Two Strong Hearts is very fun! You should take a listen to that as well.
The next song in this concert was John singing John Travolta’s part in You’re the One that I Want from Grease. Very humorous after this romantic duet. Thanks for your reaction. Olivia had said that John was her favourite singer.
There are so many amazing performances in this concert! It toured as 'The Main Event' - Olivia Newton John and John Farnham together with an amazing musical theatre star Anthony Warlow -- check it out, you'll love it!
They are really great friends in this show when they kiss they fan each other you have to watch the entire show it's called the main event trust me you will enjoy it
This song was originally written for John, but they turned it into as duet for this series of concerts. BTW John has been very happily married for more than 50 years, but lots of men had crushes on Olivia, and he was no exception ☺️
olivia has sucess as a country artist in v usa after leavn au, u prob know vis, ven ventured into mainstream music pop, n acting, she was in grease n sung sme hits frm that movie, such a wonderful person, she had a lot of suffering in her life n yet remained an angel, sad whn she died.
Certainly a great performance, another song to show case John and Jimmy Barns is When something is wrong with my baby, live on TV show called Hey Hey Its Saturday. It is fantastic cheers from Oz
Both are married or in committed relationships.... this is a story about how they love and respect each other, may even be attracted to each other.... but can never act on those feelings... because of the love and respect they have for their partners...... we have all been there if we've lived long enough...... x
I would like to recommend you react John Farnham singing The Reason Why from the 1994 ARIA(Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards with Richard Marx.
I am new here to you reacting and I really enjoyed your take on such Australian icons. some advice - two more Australians twins in fact with voices that are incredibly harmonised that will blow you away. they are the Veronicas and check out their song/video you ruined me performed on some Melbourne famous rooftop . you'll thank me later
All I can do is copy and paste my favourites list again. Enjoy... -Burn For You.. th-cam.com/video/4PPvOhPspEA/w-d-xo.html -Angels.. Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers. JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years. th-cam.com/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/w-d-xo.html -Amazing Grace.. To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa. This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field. th-cam.com/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/w-d-xo.html -Please Don't Ask Me.. This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well.. th-cam.com/video/2uV_tZODfK8/w-d-xo.html -When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.... And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar. th-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/w-d-xo.html Or this version. th-cam.com/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/w-d-xo.html -When The War Is Over… Possibly one of his greatest vocals. th-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/w-d-xo.html -Or is the greatest. Gethsemane.. th-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/w-d-xo.html -How about a mike test. He has the power and ability to distort microphones, amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol Black Dog. th-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/w-d-xo.html Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
Haha great reaction. John Farnham is so good. Olivia was great here too. They were super close friends for a long time. Never anything more. Check out his Jesus Christ Superstar performances. Amazing.
Hi Andrea How's your knee If not better You may have to start with chair or Floor exercises to keep your heart lungs & mind all pumping. Light weights reps to help & To keep that hot body Taught as the injury may take a bit longer.
Do yourself a favour and watch The Main Event when John sings with Anthony Warlow who is a world class opera singer. They are both brilliant entertainers.
Bible sort of sang under the same record label but there are any friends he's been married to his backup dancer from years ago when he was young and he's never looked back he's got two sons and happily married, nice skeletons in this boys closet.

I am excited to be back with another John Farnham reaction, I always love to listen! He is such an unbelievable talent. Please let me know what I should watch next! I am currently dealing with some copyright problems on the other video I filmed so hopefully that resolves itself soon.
One of the greatest vocal duet performances that I have ever witnessed.
And btw, these 2 musical gems were very good friends with the highest respect for one another.
John and Olivia were great friends for more than 40 years.
And as far as I know John is still married to his first love. But I think there is a lot of emotional availability in both of them and they clearly have some chemistry.

OIivia Newton-John for me always reminds me off Grease lol John Farnham is amazing he can sing anything
John and Olivia were friends and had performed especially in the later years together on stage and in recordings. John does have musical theatre experience and Olivia is an actress, so they know how to perform. But both also have the ability to convey such emotion when they sing. This performance was from the Main Event concerts featuring Olivia, John and Anthony Warlow (Australia’s Phantom). It was absolutely superb. This particular song was actually a hit for John but the duet with Olivia is actually better!
RIP Olivia Newton John
will you ever see a better duet,
They were very good friends for many years. His wife gave him permission to end the song the way they did.
Thank you for your terrific Reaction and appreciation of our two Aussie legends, John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John! No they didn't date, however I understand they have always been best friends with the greatest respect for each other. Please watch many more from this awesome concert called 'The Main Event' also with Anthony Warlow. Also please react to John Farnham and Olivia N-J. singing 'Dare To Dream' at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening Ceremony. xoxoxo

After decades of friendship they really are friends, Olivia came to his farm after her marriage failed to recoup and get her life back in order, so yeah there friends and he devastated when she died, her daughter chole told him at 2 am and he went there for her to help chole get through it , family he said always
We (Aussies) wanted them to be together way back when we all were young.
Nice to get a lovely love song. Liv and John sing so well together. Thanks for your reaction❤
Well they do say, history never repeats! But yet I’m still to be convinced!!!!!.
What an incredible performance!! Loved it!!
Also from this same co cert, check out John and Anthony Warlow singing Granada. Great singing and a little comedy.
He loved Olivia deeply as a long time friend.He only has one life love in jill his wife
Check out John and Anthony Warlow from the same show. John shows off his comedic side.
This song is about the heartbreak of finally finding your soulmate when the other is already committed to marriage. The eternal torment of soul lovers torn by commitment.
John still refers to his wife of many years as "The Bride". Olivia was a close & life-long friend.
Love your Review
I love your voice. I personally prefer this song sung by John alone, but that is not to say that I don’t love this duet. It is just that when he does it solo you get some sneak peaks into some vocal acrobatics that he doesn’t get a chance to show off in the duet. Nonetheless both are lovely.

I saw a review of BURN FOR YOU solo since this post. I hope you enjoy their duet to review too. This song more operatic for Livvy, but that emotive lower register on Burn for you smoldering with John. I only wish they recorded more together. I asked ON-J about the idea of a collection of standards after their Holiday release ....she said, she just needed 'another lifetime'.
You would probably really enjoy watching John and Ray Charles sing and play off each other doing a random and unscripted rendition of Lennon's song Imagine.
Ray was having trouble with his ear piece so the two decided to randomly sing an easy ab-lib version of Imagine to keep the crowd entertained while the sound crew fixed the ear piece.
What a great reaction. Thank you. I don't know if you ever heard Olivia Newton John's song called magic but it is probably her best song
These two did another concert together later called Two Strong Hearts. Their duet of Two Strong Hearts is very fun! You should take a listen to that as well.
The next song in this concert was John singing John Travolta’s part in You’re the One that I Want from Grease. Very humorous after this romantic duet. Thanks for your reaction. Olivia had said that John was her favourite singer.
There are so many amazing performances in this concert! It toured as 'The Main Event' - Olivia Newton John and John Farnham together with an amazing musical theatre star Anthony Warlow -- check it out, you'll love it!
John & Livvie were the epitome of platonic true love. Their love for each other was real, but not in the romantic/relationship etc way.
They are really great friends in this show when they kiss they fan each other you have to watch the entire show it's called the main event trust me you will enjoy it
This song was originally written for John, but they turned it into as duet for this series of concerts. BTW John has been very happily married for more than 50 years, but lots of men had crushes on Olivia, and he was no exception ☺️
olivia has sucess as a country artist in v usa after leavn au, u prob know vis, ven ventured into mainstream music pop, n acting, she was in grease n sung sme hits frm that movie, such a wonderful person, she had a lot of suffering in her life n yet remained an angel, sad whn she died.
Certainly a great performance, another song to show case John and Jimmy Barns is When something is wrong with my baby, live on TV show called Hey Hey Its Saturday. It is fantastic cheers from Oz
John Farnham also played Jesus in the Australian Jesus Christ Superstar.
These two beautiful Aussies sounds great together.
Both are married or in committed relationships.... this is a story about how they love and respect each other, may even be attracted to each other.... but can never act on those feelings... because of the love and respect they have for their partners...... we have all been there if we've lived long enough...... x
recommend you react to john Farnham playing to win next
I would like to recommend you react John Farnham singing The Reason Why from the 1994 ARIA(Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards with Richard Marx.
I am new here to you reacting and I really enjoyed your take on such Australian icons. some advice - two more Australians twins in fact with voices that are incredibly harmonised that will blow you away. they are the Veronicas and check out their song/video you ruined me performed on some Melbourne famous rooftop . you'll thank me later
You should have a listen johns bridge over trouble water amazing .loving your reveiws.

All I can do is copy and paste my favourites list again. Enjoy...
-Burn For You..

-Angels..
Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers.
JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years.

-Amazing Grace..
To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa.
This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field.

-Please Don't Ask Me..
This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well..

-When Something Is Wrong With My Baby....
And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar.

Or this version.

-When The War Is Over…
Possibly one of his greatest vocals.
th-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/w-d-xo.html
-Or is the greatest.
Gethsemane..
th-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/w-d-xo.html
-How about a mike test.
He has the power and ability to distort microphones, amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol

Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
Haha great reaction.
John Farnham is so good. Olivia was great here too. They were super close friends for a long time. Never anything more.
Check out his Jesus Christ Superstar performances. Amazing.

Hi Andrea
How's your knee
If not better
You may have to start with chair or Floor exercises to keep your heart lungs & mind all pumping.
Light weights reps to help &
To keep that hot body
Taught as the injury may take a bit longer.
Well at the time of this Olivia was between husbands but John had a wife!
Do yourself a favour and watch The Main Event when John sings with Anthony Warlow who is a world class opera singer. They are both brilliant entertainers.
React on coke studio pakistan new songs especially Piya Piya Calling.
React on piya calling trending no 1 on TH-cam
I think you have to kiss at the end of any good duet.
Bible sort of sang under the same record label but there are any friends he's been married to his backup dancer from years ago when he was young and he's never looked back he's got two sons and happily married, nice skeletons in this boys closet.
Oh Andrea do succumb
Music was so much better when people could actually sing. Today electronics can makea pig sound like an angel. Todays stars are all fake.
