Australia is loving your reactions to John, Jimmy and the others. There have been other guys and girls react to our legends but we can see the genuine love and respect you have for them and we love it! Keep going and I’m sure half of Australia will be following you soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Help is a Beatles song. One thing that nobody mentions about John is his amazing mic discipline. He never has it smashed into his gob, because he knows how to project, and he knows how to move it away so as to keep from overpowering the sound system when he belts. He's especially careful about it when singing with less powerful voices. Master of his game!
Yes, that is Anthony Warlow. I believe he was recovering from cancer then. John and Olivia Newton John did this show with Anthony. Anthony is famous for so many stage musicals like Phantom Of The Opera. He is amazing on stage and as nice as John and Olivia are.
Andy warlow was lead in the phantom of the opera in Australia and is one of our best musical stage singers .the song they were playing around with at the end is Sadie the cleaning lady John's first Australian hit , check it out its fun . My all-time favourite song from John was when he was with The Little River Band its called COOL CHANGE and is beautiful it was also sung by the original band singer and was equally as good please check it out you won't be disappointed .
Anthony Warlow is one of the greatest Theatrical/Stage Musical Singers of all time, and in my honest opinion, the GREATEST vocalist to perform lead as Phantom of the Opera!
Some context. Anthony Warlow is a fantastic opera singer. He also does swing and musical stuff. At the time Anthony was recovering from multiple cancer treatments so probably wasn't up to the opera stuff. This was from a televised concert where the two of them and Olivia Newton-John (from Grease) played together. They all did solo stuff and then various bits and pieces together. The stuff about 'Sadie the cleaning lady' at the end of the video refers to John's first hit called 'Sadie, the cleaning lady'...and there's a long running joke at John's live shows that he hates the song, and has to be convinced and bullied into singing it (he doesn't really and it's all a joke).
I was actually at this concert. Anthony had at this stage already recovered from his treatments and could definately if he wished sing opera however this concert was not the place for songs like that.
Aussie here. I was lucky enough to see John live 17 times. I love him to bits. One of the best compliments about John Farnham that I ever heard from another artist, was from Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen), who said in an interview that John Farnham was the most technically perfect Male voice he'd ever heard. Coming from Freddie Mercury, that's gospel
Live 17 times? I'm truly envious. I'm UK, only really discovered John last year, so I've been youtube watching and Google researching ever since. And only just found this. JOY! I watch the videos daily, his music makes me so happy. And Anthony Warlow has turned into a crooner /swinger, I've only seen his Phantom, and John is scat singing - just astonishing. Mch'24. UK. E ❤
@@EileenSpeakman Yep, 17 times. I was only 4yrs old the first time my Nan took me to see John live at Telethon (Perth), and I'm 59 now. So even though it sounds a lot, it's not really lol. So glad you have discovered John's talent, he is absolutely amazing. John has been a major feature in 5 generations of my family, and the exact same for most other Aussie families across Australia. He is an amazing singer, and an equally amazing person. If you haven't heard it yet, go and check out John's version of Gethsemane from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar - it's fantastic. Keep on enjoying John and thanks for your lovely comment 🤗
@@roslynjonsson2383 I was lucky enough to see John in Jesus Christ Superstar, along with a host of other big Aussie names, in "the round" at the old Sydney Entertainment Centre! Simply amazing!
@@karollinecostello8559 Lucky you, to say I'm not jealous would be a lie lol. I've been to every major concert, some twice, but the one I missed was JCS, because I was in hospital having my tonsils out - not escaping for the night, is my one lifes regret lol
If you want to see more of these two - Its called "The Main Event" and they did it with Olivia Newton-John in the round (stage in the middle) They were hilarious - I was lucky enough to see the tour three times. John is such a comedian and Anthony is also very very funny....Poor Livvie...she had to contend with these two every night for like six months hahaha... Anthony is one of our best leads in Phantom of the Opera.... Farnsey was THE best JC in Jesus Christ Superstar (took his band of course.. ) Gethsemane live is a total treat.
I was (and remain) obsessed with John Farnham and Anthony Warlow's version of ''Granada''. This is a song which really shows off their vocal chops. Anthony is a trained opera singer and John Farnham really steps up his game to meet every vocal challenge that Anthony throws his way. In addition to this, Anthony sustains a note so long he manages to walk around the stage THREE times. The breath control is stunning. There is a video of their performance on TH-cam uploaded under the title ''Anthony Warlow elevates us to 'high art'''. 10/10 recommend to have your mind blown + they are a great laugh together on stage.
In Australia it really makes us so happy to watch you on your Australian music journey. The extensive amount of talent always astounds us because our population is so small
Anthony Warlow is absolutely incredible. I saw him on Broadway when he took over the role of Hook from Kelsey Krammer in Finding Neverland. One of the best musical theatre performers of our time.
We Aussies are loving your reactions , I am sorry that this is 1 yr ago This is from a show that toured called THE MAIN EVENT , the two of them and OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN wait till you here them do GRANADA and ANTHONY does the best impression of Frank Spencer ,AKA MICHAEL CRAWFORD ever, sadly we have lost OLIVIA to cancer. I have only started knowing 1st reactions I am 61yrs old and am loving being able to watch all these great Aussie artists again BUT my heart belongs to JOHN I am using my Twin Sisters computer so her name will pop up , but my name is GISELE and I'm going to tell her very soon haha , you are by far my favorite . ONE last thing have you seen John doing ACDC from the live concert in Melbourne 1980 with the Melbourne Symphony , It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want To Rock and Roll...I have never seen a Conductor having such a blast so cheers from Australia mate
Help was originally a Beatles song but John definitely made it his own, I believe you have already done a reaction to it when he did it with the Melbourne symphony orchestra
@@StultifiedGraphics yes you are right he once said John Farnhams version was how he originally envisioned it being sung and that it disturbed him that such an emotional song was sung with such a fast upbeat tempo.
Oh and I was at this gig, and we couldn't get out of our seats afterwards, we were just so exhausted from being blown away by their amazing vocals for 2 hours!! Anthony Warlow is Australia's original musical theatre star - he was the lead in our original Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and many others.
Anthony Warlow is a national treasure. I’ve been lucky enough to see him live on many occasions. I also got to see John and Anthony perform together in The Main Event, an absolutely amazing experience 😃
“Saddie the cleaning lady” was Johnny Farnham’s first hit record when he must have been about 17 years old. EVERYONE at EVERY concert wants him to sing it. He pretends to hate it.
Anthony Warlowe also does it mimicking Frank Spencer from 'Some Mothers do 'Ave 'Em', played by Michael Crawford who became Britain's Phantom of the Opera, which Anthony played in Australia.
Sadie came out in 1968, my earliest musical memory is listening to my Mum sing along to the wireless(radio) or by herself as she c,earned the house etc, I was 4, loved hearing all his songs as I grew up
Nick, I have to thank you! Whenever I get overwhelmed with what is happening out there in the world, I come & watch or rewatch you reactions & they make my heart sing again. As you know I am a huge Fan of John, I met Olivia & Cliff , such a fan of the Anthony's, Guy, Delta, the Barnes grew up around the corner here where I live. It has been so awesome going on your Aussie music Journey & revisiting my Favorites through your eyes & Ears! Thanks heaps young man! And Yes! John can sing anything & this concert with Anthony Warlow really showed the versatility of both men! Both great respect for each other, which comes across so well in this hey! Much love Debbie
Huge respect to Chong Lim who musically directed The Main Event (and the majority of John Farnhams music). Such an talented guy to keep up with everyones onstage antics.
This was from a concert tour called "The Main Event" and it was John Farnham, Anthony Warlow and Olivia Newton-John. They all did solo parts, different pairings and then songs with all 3 on stage. If you loved that segment you would love the whole concert! I saw it live here in Australia!! Was amazing
Love that you are reacting to this song. I love John Farnham and Anthony Warlow singing together. Just a quick note on Anthony Warlow. He can sing in an operatic way, but he is actually a Broadway singer. Love his voice!
I love Anthony Warlow. I saw him play The Phantom in Australia's production of The Phantom of the Opera and he was perfect. He does a lot of Broadway and swing music. I listened to his album 'On The Boards' on repeat when I was a teenager. His version of I Am A Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance is hilarious and his rendition of Bui-Doi from Miss Saigon is heart wrenching. Truly, he, John and Jimmy Barnes are Australia's greatest male vocalists.
Wonderful Reaction again Nick and appreciation shown for our all time phenomenal singer John Farnham! Anthony is also a superb Australian treasure. Please watch more from this terrific concert:'The Main Event', with Olivia Newton John.
When John first started out his anthem was 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady' and he gets teased about it with love. Anthony is a fantastic opera singer and this is pure fun to watch.
The Beatles recorded this in 1965, it was the title song of the album "Help", but John Farnham's version has more of a ballad feel to it. John Lennon once said that this was the way he would have liked the original version to be, but it finished up more an upbeat version. Celine Dion and Tina Turner were so impressed with Fanham's version they both recorded it. The other guy is Anthony Warlow a legend in musical theatre in Australia and also has an amazing voice......
These guys were great.together - definitely check out their Granada vid from the same concert, it plays to Anthony's strengths a bit more but John absolutely smashes it. From memory I think it is on TH-cam under "Anthony Warlow elevates us to high art"
I was lucky enough to have front row seats to this show in Adelaide and is still one of my favourite concerts ever💛 When Anthony and John do there sing off and John sings as a tenor is truly mind blowing!! Lucky enough to see John in Superstar and Anthony as Phantom 💛
I look forward you listening to some of the work by the late Australian Indigenous singer, Gurrumul, of the Yolngu nation. One of the most extraordinary voices you'll ever hear.
Anthony Warlow is one of my favourites. He is a baritone, but can be quite happy and pure in the tenor range. His voice is unique.Find some of his musical recordings to listen to him in his element. Also check out David Hobson, our tenor extrodainaire. Once again, a powerful, unique voice.
John and Anthony are so funny as well as being amazing singers. Anthony can do incredible impressions. I love his Elmo and Michael Crawford impressions. Kermit the Frog too.
Farnham concerts (I've been to 2 - an intimate group of 400 & a stadium of thousands) are just like he's having fun & getting paid for it; the audience is along for the ride; it could almost be a jam session in his garage, with interludes of chats & stories. From all accounts he's as much fun off the stage, what you see is what you get.
As a proud Aussie, I absolutely adore your reactions to our legends in music. John Farnham is one of the best. I love your reactions watching John and Jimmy Barnes. I'll have to watch your earlier vids to see if you've already reacted to Guy Sebastian too.
Anthony Warlow is an Australian opera/musical theatre star. He played Phantom until a throat cancer diagnosis. In this tour, called "The Main Event", c1999, which also included Olivia Newton-John (Grease, opposite John Tavolta), he was in recovery, hence the shaved head. Just after this clip ended, they went on to sing a challenging song called "Grenada" - worth a watch to hear JF doing something different! "Sadie, the Cleaning Lady", which Anthony Warlow alludes to, was John Farnham's first hit single - a "pop" number which he has never lived down! He was eighteen!
His very first song was Sadie. That will give you context to the ending of this. Anthony is a Broadway entertainer. The two Aussie boys teamed up with Olivia Newton John. Another brilliant Aussie This was such a brilliant concert. I was lucky enough to be there back in the day. What talent we have.
“That’s Life” that Anthony Warlow sang is a Sinatra song I think. “Bad Habits” was written and sung by another Aussie, Billy Fields. I also vote for John with Olivia N-J from the Main Event. Awesome. Also remember the US has what? 330 million people? Oz has 25 million. We go pretty well for talent per capita.
I agree. He is a comedian. I remember his mother-in-law jokes, who BTW he adored and he told one on the Ray Martin Midday Show. He said his MIL now talks through her nose because she wore her mouth out! :)
He has amazing vocals you need to go right back to the beginning of his career . His first song Sadie The Cleaning Lady to see what he started like . I would love your reaction to it. Love him and his voice.
John is and has always been a vocal and character entertainment legend. It’s a thrill to watch your reactions to our staple entertainers. He’s phenomenal and extraordinary, an icon.
Two Australian Icons. This concert was Labled the Main Event and Olivia Newton-John was part of it. They all did solo songs of their own, but also sang together. This particular song is called Help, originally by the Beatles but John’s cover was Epic! After this they followed with Granada. Anthony the Opera singer had John singing opera! I urge you to listen to it. Their voices together are amazing, and they were having a lot of fun with it. I went to this concert and it was one of the best I’ve ever been to.
I saw Anthony Warlow, John Farnham, and Olivia Newton John in 'The Main Event' concert together years ago and it was fantastic. Recommend getting the album if you don't have it!
My Mother in Law went to a show featuring Johnny Farnham... She won the Sadie Cleaning Lady knee competition (Johnny Farnhams first bit hit) She got her knees autographed by Johnny Farmham...
Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) was the 1st hit song John (Johnny as he was then) Farnham had in around 1968. The audiences at his Concert's always yell out to him to sing it. His usual reply is Fair Dinkum, Poor Sadie's retired. She's Sadie the Grandmother at home watching TV, now.
Thank you for mentioning John yesterday? Doctors say John is doing well and his operation was a susses -) 11 hours he was in surgery. You have a President? we have a Premier and he went on TV last night to wish John well and said he's an Aussie Legend. Love your Videos
Basically John is and will always be, an entertainer, not 'just' a singer. Nothing wrong with just singing, but thats why many love John so much, hes a complete package and you never know what youll get. Hes collabrorated with many performers across many genres and is just so adaptable. Laughs at himself too which makes him so real. I do feel for him whenever Sadie is brought up time and time again, but then again everyone has a past and started somewhere.
Australia is loving your reactions to John, Jimmy and the others. There have been other guys and girls react to our legends but we can see the genuine love and respect you have for them and we love it! Keep going and I’m sure half of Australia will be following you soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
100% we will. Love watching these JF reviews.
I agree. Both these guys are legends. Wishing John all the best in his recovery. He is Australia 🇦🇺
Have you watched “Touch of Paradise” yet? If not you should add it to the list ❤
Help is a Beatles song.
One thing that nobody mentions about John is his amazing mic discipline. He never has it smashed into his gob, because he knows how to project, and he knows how to move it away so as to keep from overpowering the sound system when he belts. He's especially careful about it when singing with less powerful voices. Master of his game!
Yes, John's mic 🎤 craft is extraordinary!
Yes! It’s Anthony Warlow!!!!! One of our very best singers. Aussies have it all.
Anthony is also famous as a stage/musical singer as well. John has also dabbled there as well.
Your reactions to Farnhams vocals cracks me up.. us Aussies are so used to it, maybe we take it for granted.. he is epic!
Nothing wrong with a reminder of how awesome Farnsey is 😂
Yes, that is Anthony Warlow. I believe he was recovering from cancer then. John and Olivia Newton John did this show with Anthony. Anthony is famous for so many stage musicals like Phantom Of The Opera. He is amazing on stage and as nice as John and Olivia are.
Just letting you know, ThatSingerReacts, as much as you love & appreciate all these amazing singers, you are very loveable, too.
I absolutely agree😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Yes! He's soooo sweet!
❤So true .. I think I enjoy his love of music as much as I love going down memory lane
🇦🇺
Ah, yes he is ❤
The Main Event - John Farnham, Anthony Warlow & Olivia Newton John having so much fun on stage
Andy warlow was lead in the phantom of the opera in Australia and is one of our best musical stage singers .the song they were playing around with at the end is Sadie the cleaning lady John's first Australian hit , check it out its fun . My all-time favourite song from John was when he was with The Little River Band its called COOL CHANGE and is beautiful it was also sung by the original band singer and was equally as good please check it out you won't be disappointed .
The original singer of LRB was Glen Shorrock
There's a bit in that show where Anthony gets John to sing opera, and of course he just bloody nails it
Anthony Warlow is one of the greatest Theatrical/Stage Musical Singers of all time, and in my honest opinion, the GREATEST vocalist to perform lead as Phantom of the Opera!

One of my favourite concerts. Olivia Newton made up the magical trifecta.
@@lizann3058 yes Olivia Newton-John is awesome.
And the next song 'Granada' in this meant will show both of them off on a whole nother level...
I was at their Brisbane concert, it was just amazing. All of their voices live was unbelievable, was the best concert I've ever been to.

Anthony Warlow's version of "This Is The Moment" gives me chills
I was blessed to get to see Anthony Warlow as the Phantom of the Opera here in Melbourne when it premiered. 🙌 Beautiful.
Right! It was so long ago now. I was thinking it is like 35 years since Whispering Jack too.
@@kirsteencampbell6489 that would be about right. Jeez, I feel old lol
Yes, same…I’ve been a fan ever since and have all of Anthony’s cds. I saw him last year in “Titanic”, performing in Melbourne…brilliant.♥️
Me too
He & that show changed my life.
John hits you right in the face like a bat with his opening vocals.
Lol great comment!
John Farnham is a National Treasure. He’s such a nice bloke too… and then there’s THAT a voice. He’s an Icon! ♥️

John singing Gethsemane is goosebumps territory! 🤯
I agree. His version of Gethsemane is out of this world.
I was so lucky to go to this concert also and to see Johnny in Jesus Christ Superstar. Such great memories
Definitely listen to Gesthemane

@@StultifiedGraphics yes you are right he once said John Farnhams version was how he originally envisioned it being sung and that it disturbed him that such an emotional song was sung with such a fast upbeat tempo.
Isn’t it funny that the Beatles own this song but John trumps it’s with his version . Love it 🥰
❤❤❤well this man can sing anything!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I KNOW John Farnhams voice was a gift from God, this is just so soul cathcing. Few singers catch that gift and bless others for it.
John Farnham is our Aussie legend.
Anthony is the face and voice, of "Phantom of the Opera"..
Both the best of the best world wide.
Oh and I was at this gig, and we couldn't get out of our seats afterwards, we were just so exhausted from being blown away by their amazing vocals for 2 hours!!

John can sing anything!!!!!!

Amazing how John can lean on those notes. I'm pretty sure, around this time he was recording songs where he hit G5.....kid you not !!
Anthony Warlow had Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, the chemotherapy took his hair. He was also the national ambassador for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Huge respect to Chong Lim who musically directed The Main Event (and the majority of John Farnhams music). Such an talented guy to keep up with everyones onstage antics.
“Jesus John” hahaha I love your reactions mate

So - these 2 gents are among my faves. I’ve seen John Farnham live more times than I can count over the last 35 years. He’s brilliant isn’t he!
Love that you are reacting to this song. I love John Farnham and Anthony Warlow singing together. Just a quick note on Anthony Warlow. He can sing in an operatic way, but he is actually a Broadway singer. Love his voice!

Wonderful Reaction again Nick and appreciation shown for our all time phenomenal singer John Farnham! Anthony is also a superb Australian treasure. Please watch more from this terrific concert:'The Main Event', with Olivia Newton John.
When John first started out his anthem was 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady' and he gets teased about it with love. Anthony is a fantastic opera singer and this is pure fun to watch.
That concert was so funny and entertaining
Hope you do more of this particular show
The Beatles recorded this in 1965, it was the title song of the album "Help", but John Farnham's version has more of a ballad feel to it.

I have never seen anybody come even close to Anthony warlow as Jean Val Jean in Les Miserables!
These guys were great.together - definitely check out their Granada vid from the same concert, it plays to Anthony's strengths a bit more but John absolutely smashes it. From memory I think it is on TH-cam under "Anthony Warlow elevates us to high art"
He is our boy been listening to this man for over 50 years 😢
Johny has such a beautiful calming voice and so powerful timeless. Love your reactions 🤣🤩
You need to hear Anthony sing ‘Music of the Night’ from Phantom of the Opera. Great voice… 👍🇦🇺
Blessed to have seen him live many times and got a handshake
I was lucky enough to have front row seats to this show in Adelaide and is still one of my favourite concerts ever💛 When Anthony and John do there sing off and John sings as a tenor is truly mind blowing!! Lucky enough to see John in Superstar and Anthony as Phantom 💛
Sadie the cleaning lady was a hit for John back in the black and white tv days. That's how old he is
I love that you guys are only now discovering what we Aussies have had the privilege of enjoying for the last few decades.. he's an absolute weapon!
I look forward you listening to some of the work by the late Australian Indigenous singer, Gurrumul, of the Yolngu nation. One of the most extraordinary voices you'll ever hear.
One of the few men who can go toe to toe with John and not look silly.

From all accounts he's as much fun off the stage, what you see is what you get.
Oh my GOD! Every time I listen to John he surpasses the last incredible performance!?!!! HOW??????????
John farnham has so many talents, you just scratched the surface. Has was so funny on "hey hey its Saturday "
As a proud Aussie, I absolutely adore your reactions to our legends in music. John Farnham is one of the best. I love your reactions watching John and Jimmy Barnes. I'll have to watch your earlier vids to see if you've already reacted to Guy Sebastian too.
Thankyou for your obvious appreciation of Aussie music, especially Farnsy and Barnsy
When you add Olivia Newton John to the mix and I cried for hours (With pure joy).
Oh thankyou for that...Been so long s8nce watched it... Love how they both are ine awe of each other and so magnificent 💓
Anthony Warlow is an Australian opera/musical theatre star. He played Phantom until a throat cancer diagnosis. In this tour, called "The Main Event", c1999, which also included Olivia Newton-John (Grease, opposite John Tavolta), he was in recovery, hence the shaved head. Just after this clip ended, they went on to sing a challenging song called "Grenada" - worth a watch to hear JF doing something different!
"Sadie, the Cleaning Lady", which Anthony Warlow alludes to, was John Farnham's first hit single - a "pop" number which he has never lived down! He was eighteen!
Anthony Warlow is a loved aussie opera and stage singer, gave it up to beat cancer and came back.
The Sadie gag at the end is in reference to Johns first hit back in 67.
His very first song was Sadie.
That will give you context to the ending of this.
Anthony is a Broadway entertainer.
The two Aussie boys teamed up with Olivia Newton John.
Another brilliant Aussie
This was such a brilliant concert. I was lucky enough to be there back in the day.
What talent we have.
“That’s Life” that Anthony Warlow sang is a Sinatra song I think. “Bad Habits” was written and sung by another Aussie, Billy Fields.
I also vote for John with Olivia N-J from the Main Event. Awesome.
Also remember the US has what? 330 million people? Oz has 25 million. We go pretty well for talent per capita.
He is such a comedian when he chats with the audience and interviews
I agree. He is a comedian. I remember his mother-in-law jokes, who BTW he adored and he told one on the Ray Martin Midday Show. He said his MIL now talks through her nose because she wore her mouth out! :)
YES he evokes our emotions
Anthony Warlow, Olivia Newton-John and John Farnham all performed together at the Main Event Concert in 1996 and 1998 respectively
I went to this concert, it was the best night of my life. Them doing Granada is epic.
Johnny still got it as he ages too. He's been unwell recently, hope he recovers
Absolutely love these boys and Olivia, The Main Event was such a great show!!
John is a clown. A very talented one. He is so down to earth, and one of the reasons that Australians love him. Mr. Warlow is amazing too.
He has amazing vocals you need to go right back to the beginning of his career . His first song Sadie The Cleaning Lady to see what he started like . I would love your reaction to it. Love him and his voice.
John is and has always been a vocal and character entertainment legend. It’s a thrill to watch your reactions to our staple entertainers. He’s phenomenal and extraordinary, an icon.
Two Australian Icons. This concert was Labled the Main Event and Olivia Newton-John was part of it. They all did solo songs of their own, but also sang together. This particular song is called Help, originally by the Beatles but John’s cover was Epic! After this they followed with Granada. Anthony the Opera singer had John singing opera! I urge you to listen to it. Their voices together are amazing, and they were having a lot of fun with it. I went to this concert and it was one of the best I’ve ever been to.
Thanks for the reaction it was awesome. Johns Voice man it just hits different
The song Bad Habits was covered very well by Billy Field (australian producer) who never intended to release it. Had a lot of hits anyway.
Glad im not the only one that pick up on the Billy Fields song Bad Habbits.
👍😁👍🇦🇺
What a shame we'll never hear John sing live again! The mouth cancer has destroyed that for him and us forever. He's lucky to even be alive.
2:27, LMAO!, My God, this song just started and he’s giving us everything!
Love your reaction to two of our greatest treasures. Thank you for appreciating true talent
I saw Anthony Warlow, John Farnham, and Olivia Newton John in 'The Main Event' concert together years ago and it was fantastic. Recommend getting the album if you don't have it!
John is an entertainer and a real personality to him that comes through in his way that he sings and his general conversations.
This was the same concert with Olivia Newton-John, The Main Event.
It was amazing to be in the audience.
My Mother in Law went to a show featuring Johnny Farnham... She won the Sadie Cleaning Lady knee competition (Johnny Farnhams first bit hit)
She got her knees autographed by Johnny Farmham...
Love your reactions. They are entertaining.🎉
Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) was the 1st hit song John (Johnny as he was then) Farnham had in around 1968. The audiences at his Concert's always yell out to him to sing it. His usual reply is Fair Dinkum, Poor Sadie's retired. She's Sadie the Grandmother at home watching TV, now.
Thank you for mentioning John yesterday? Doctors say John is doing well and his operation was a susses -) 11 hours he was in surgery. You have a President? we have a Premier and he went on TV last night to wish John well and said he's an Aussie Legend. Love your Videos
i love the enjoyment you get out of this its terrific
His snippet of Grenada is better than ANYTHING of his you have seen so far
John’s first hit was Sadie the Cleaning Lady. That was Anthony’s cheeky reference at the end of the performance.
Basically John is and will always be, an entertainer, not 'just' a singer. Nothing wrong with just singing, but thats why many love John so much, hes a complete package and you never know what youll get. Hes collabrorated with many performers across many genres and is just so adaptable. Laughs at himself too which makes him so real. I do feel for him whenever Sadie is brought up time and time again, but then again everyone has a past and started somewhere.
