All rise for Australias unofficial national anthem! This song was inspired by a protest march for nuclear disarmament the year 1985. The message being 'if you want change go out and make it yourself'. Tommy did a nice cover that was pretty true to the original!
Definitely a good cover sung by a talented singer and accompanied by an equally talented guitarist. Well done. Someone has already made mention of the passion that John Farnham embeds in every one of his performances, and that there was little change to the melody of the song in this version. I felt that this was just slightly up tempo, but fortunately Tommy's voice was up to the challenge to deliver it in the way in which it should be delivered. Good job, mate.
This Song isn't the easiest to sing, But Tommy⚜️ nailed it, Our beloved Johnny Farnham would be thrilled with this verison, Tommy ⚜️ The magic still remains 💙🎸🎶🎤🤙
A new generation will get to hear this powerful anthem. All to the good. This should be the anthem of the United Nations. The world needs to hear this message.
For me its not so much a competition ( suspect Tommy didn't aim for that either 😀) it,s more a case of paying respect to an important artist and song. Adding to the music and being a part of the universe it exists in .... and in the process he introduces or reintroduces it to people that didnt listen to it before (i,m one .. i knew this song since childhood but did not the artist ..have listened to Farnham a lot the last 24 h just because of Tommys version) ..so it is all good!!!!
Really impressive performance. I like this a lot! The whole arrangement is great and fitting. But, this is in the studio, can he deliver those vocals for 2 hours live? Cheers and thanks m8!
I'VE said it before...Tommy's cover is the best cover of John's iconic song that I've ever heard. Powerful voice, great range and a musical genious...buy Still doesn't have the emotion and passion that John delivers in spades ❤
I agree George, Delta's version and performance is the best I have heard from another singer, male or female! I feel Delta loves/understands the true essence of John's song and she also has a vocal belting technique that John has and that the song requires...👍🌝
I asked him that on his liveshor here on TH-cam couple a weeks ago celebrating 100000 followers. And he said it takes him about 2-3 days of work making his cover videos, and he does it all on his own except filming, his girlfriend helps him. And as always you got Tommyfied listening to him, such a pro.
Only a handful of people or bands have ever actually covered this song successfully. Most fall flat in various bad ways. This guy definately has the skill to sing it really well hitting all the original notes near perfectly, just lacking in power which is not uncommon. I really like this one awesome work!
Yeah but all the finer points are missing....all of them...the finesse the agility the versatility...the rasp the power the range. It sounds like karaoke.
Very good cover he has an amazing voice played it true to the original but could have tweaked it a bit more to make it his own. Now if you want to see an unique and mesmerising performance check out Kasey Chambers an Australian Country singer covering the great Eminem's Lose Yourself on a Banjo would you believe.
Maby now you understand John farnhams greatness. It takes a heavy metal singer to even come close to the original recording . Lets not forget, this is not live. A lot of sound enginering going on to make it sound like this. Back in the days they didnt have that. Only pure and raw talent.
As usual, Tommy upgraded this song. I always loved the original, but it was just a bit too slow for my taste, now it's perfect. If you play the video until the very end, you will see Tommy made a little promo for his friend and Majestica bandmate, Chris David, who just released a debut EP with his new band Wizdoom (he is still in Majestica too). They also released a video for the song Way Of The Lost, it's on Chris David's channel, and it's a truly beautiful song. Can you check it out?
very good cover.Has the tone of the original, but is still it's own touch. It complements the original well. This is one of perhaps two other covers that work. One was a slowed down remix on YT and the other was a softer rendition by Heart.
This guy sang it well but the arrangement doesn’t come close to John Farnham’s version. It’s too fast and John can produce a real gutsiness to his voice when he wants to; not this guy.
One of the better covers out there in terms of vocals and getting close to Johns range. You can't give any less than 100% for any of johns songs to even come close though & I feel like this was a bit too polished and needed a bit more oomph & grit
Oh sorry no no no. It’s just not right it doesn’t matter who sings this no one and mean no one sings this better than our John Farnham it’s his song.. sorry. I give cerdit to those that try though..😊🥰🇦🇺
He’s obviously a great singer, and does a great version. However, the difference between Farnsey and almost every other singer is the passion. JF inhabits a song.. he doesn’t just sing it 👍
@@Sunedosa John Farnham isn’t adverse to doing “covers” himself. Here’s “Help” by the Beatles. Link - th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html He doesn’t so much “copy”, he makes it his own.
@@jamussmyth1612t most of songs that John Farnham has covered have done quite well , even some out selling the original within Australia . Like One 1969 original by Harry Nilsson then covered by 3 Dog Night only a few moths before a young Johnny Farnham recorded it . Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head in 1970 totally out sold BJ Thomas original John version was also a number 1 hit , his last number 1 for 19 years until You’re The Voice in 1986 . When Something Is Wrong With My Baby ( with Jimmy Barnes ) recorded for Jimmy’s 1991 soul music tribute album this soul classic originally by Sam & Dave , is classic within own right with John’s and Jimmy’s stunning performance . A Touch Of Paradise 1987 originally by Australian band Mondo Rock , apparently John asked Mondo Rock’s lead singer Ross Wilson to write him a song , well Ross never got around to it but he suggested to cover A Touch Of Paradise . That’s Freedom 1990 originally by American singer songwriter Tom Kimmel which was minor hit on the American hit 100 in 1987 . John’s version just much more emotion and depth to it , which peaked 6 on the Australian Aria charts The covered single that didn’t sell bigger than original but still was a hit or gained massive appeal because of John abilities to reimagine. Help 1980 original by The Beatles . This all John’s rearrangement he took the Beatles sang in fast tempo minor and turned into slower major tempo soaring emotional ballad. When The War Is Over with Little River Band 1986 the again solo version 1988 . Original by Cold Chisel but Cold Chisel’s songwriting drummer Steve Prestwich straight away joined LRB in 1984 after Cold Chisel broke up . John loved the song so Steve agreed for LRB to record it on their underrated album No Reins . LRB’s recording company tried to capitalise on When The War Is Over releasing it as a single when John left LRB and solo career took off with You’re The Voice , John recorded it again as solo artist because his recording company was nagging him to cover some Australian classics as b sides AC/DC’s It’s Long Way To The Top , was also one of these songs requested by the record company . But John regards It’s A Long Way To The Top as one best rock n roll songs of all time . I regard John Farnham as one best cover artist there is even with Elvis Presley , Joe Cocker and Tina Turner
@@markjames3522 Elvis is still alive, living in a trailer park in Texas. Luckily for you, he can’t afford internet access. He’d be livid about all this nonsensical talk about stealing songs and lyrics😊

I've never heard this cover before, and I think he did a great job! Faithful to the original with fantastic instrumental.
Original every time ❤😂

Fuckn A that was wicked! 🤘💥🔥🎶👍👌🌏🇦🇺🦘
I'm sure Farnsey would love it
Best cover version ... well done Tommy
Well there you go...after 5 days the original has almost twice as many views. So thank you for including a reaction to the John Farnham version.
Well Clearly Mr John Farnham is STILL "THE VOICE"
Gotta check out Delta Goodrems version of this song it’s amazing
I agree George, Delta's version and performance is the best I have heard from another singer, male or female! I feel Delta loves/understands the true essence of John's song and she also has a vocal belting technique that John has and that the song requires...👍🌝
Listen to John Farnham cover Black Dog (led zeppelin). He only used it as a sound check…❤
Really nice version of the song, even the music sounds like the 80's 😂😂
I asked him that on his liveshor here on TH-cam couple a weeks ago celebrating 100000 followers. And he said it takes him about 2-3 days of work making his cover videos, and he does it all on his own except filming, his girlfriend helps him.
And as always you got Tommyfied listening to him, such a pro.
And now he is making 12 videos in a row (before the Sabaton tour begins)... Where does he get his energy from?
@@pernillaeriksson8594 Now? while on tour with Majestica lol. Thats crazy!🙄
@@KentLundberg-vb9hb I dont think he is on tour with Majestica yet. They only did a three day festival in Switzerland
@@pernillaeriksson8594 Ok but making 12 new covers is like a months work, but its like a holiday for him being at home with his girlfriend.
@@KentLundberg-vb9hb Yeah, I think he is a workaholic... But thats lucky for us! Tommy is the gift that keeps on giving. 🙂

@@rickandersen2284 that is very common in many young singers today.
They mix up Volume with Power.
Great reaction ❤️.
He never misses, does he?
Nope that mans life is music 24/7 all year around, I doubt there is another human working that hard with music as him. Dont know when he is sleeping?
Very good cover he has an amazing voice played it true to the original but could have tweaked it a bit more to make it his own.

He’s god a good voice and it’s not a bad cover but he can’t compete with Farnsey
What a cover, Tommy's voice, and guitar, this is perfection♥️🔥🎸😎😍

Great cover and true to our Voice John
Good singer and I quite like it, but there's only one Farnham
This guy sang it well but the arrangement doesn’t come close to John Farnham’s version. It’s too fast and John can produce a real gutsiness to his voice when he wants to; not this guy.

How much is real? Reserve judgement until hearing live without the electronics
That was my thought.
Oh sorry no no no. It’s just not right it doesn’t matter who sings this no one and mean no one sings this better than our John Farnham it’s his song.. sorry. I give cerdit to those that try though..😊🥰🇦🇺
Nice cover! It is hard to reach John's standard.
Have to say the scandi accent on “Chore the voice” really irks me.
As an Aussie, I have to go with Farnsey.
He’s obviously a great singer, and does a great version. However, the difference between Farnsey and almost every other singer is the passion. JF inhabits a song.. he doesn’t just sing it 👍
Exactly! Someone could sing this and hit every note and it still not be even close to John if they're not giving it everything they have
Inhabits the song....best description ever
Nice cover. But he’s not “Farnsey”😊
No one is tbh except Farnsey himself, don't think he tried to be either. Just making his own version as always.
