Only John Farnham can turn an Awards night into a full blown concert. Respect the legend👏👏 I’m sure that does not happen at your Grammys
Hell yeah just not the same anymore
I remwmber being in Northridge in the 90's and johnny qas their and had a full on concert in the mild of the park it was the best time so many more like this. Court hotel all of them.
what's even cooler is that he's been cranking them out since the 1960s - literally a contemporary of the beatles.
You are right about this not happening here. They’ve lost millions upon millions of viewers because the woke ones rule Hollywood.
This song is nearly 40 years old and ppl know it word for word ..
An absolute Aussie anthem. When Australians hear "You're the voice" we must sing along. It's impossible not to get into it. 👍Awesome choice
it's the same here in Italy, trust me :)
no doubt it's an aussie anthem but pretty much anyone hearing it must sing along :P
Written by a Kiwi, Chris Thompson of Manfred Mann's Earth Band
I even sang along during night shift as a mall cop hahahaha.
Agree. This should be our national Anthem. Instead of "girt by sea" young and free. 2019 Australia is not the country I was born and grew up in, with all the refugees it's no longer the happy go free safe lucky country.
As an Aussie I call "You're The Voice" our unofficial anthem 🙌🏼 the song is timeless, and every time humanity shows the worst of itself this song impacts me harder and means so much more. Thanks for sharing John "The Voice" Farnham with your subscribers ✌🏼
John Farnham is Australian music royalty. Watching him killing it on stage makes me feel really happy.................. and old.
ABSOLUTE AUSSIE LEGEND!!!!! I've had the privilege of seeing him perform live many times! Oi Oi Oi!!!
Me too. That voice is so strong and unique. He is amazing!
Ive met him when I was 16 and only one other girl got the privilege but I got to go first :P
I’m normally not an envious person, but I am SO envious right now - I wish I could see him live even just once!
Just awesome :)
Yeah always love me a John Farnham live show.
The man in the audience at 4:33, is John's manager and mortgaged his house to get this album, Whispering Jack, made 😊
Glenn Wheatley
He didn't regret it.
They have both bailed each other out of trouble many times over the years. The two are best of friends, and I also think god parents to the others children, but I'm not too sure on that. Glenn was from his own group The Masters Apprentices for those that want to check him out.
No risk - not with that voice.
Glen Wheatley was in a 1960's band Masters Apprentices.
"We are not going to sit in silence,
we are not going live with fear."
Good words to live by 2021 don't you think?
If you are referring to actions taken by certain governments during the pandemic let it be known that John Farnham himself publicly slammed anti lockdown protestors in Melbourne for singing this song at one of their marches.
@@liftwell I did not know that. What I was referring to in general terms was that we as humans should not live in fear of "others" or people that are different from ourselves and people that do kick down we should call out and tell them they are wrong.
For everyone who isn’t an Aussie... basically... John Farnham is our equivalent to John Cougar Mellencamp. John Farnham has been churning out Aussie classics since the 70s. He’s a legend.
Arrr... "Sadie" was 1967.... Farnham is certainly an old trooper....
thats bullshit mate ! lol
1960s!
In two of my lifetime’s I’d never connect the two as even similar musically...
That is crap!
I love seeing people outside of Australia react to our Johnny Farnham. Amazing. AMAZING. We are so lucky to have kept him to ourselves!!!!
He's so great - he's never had a hint of ego about him. He's always been gracious and humble. He said years ago when someone asked him if he ever intended to try to break into the American market that his fame in Australia was enough for his ego. He just seems to love performing and clearly gets a buzz from relating to his audience.
The Aria's are like your Grammy's. The Australian Recording Industry Awards!
he hits the high F in this version at least 4 times, he's just insane....
I'm with all the other Aussies here, This IS our second National Anthem
Is that second to “Men at Work - Down under” ?
@@wattsy1977 nah, that's more of a novelty hit. Haha aussies eat vegemite and drink until they vomit - silly cliches. You're The Voice is special.
This song is 30+ years old and more relevant than ever!
John Farnham has a song called "I burn for you" that is just beautiful and underappreciated
Incredible and very moving song. What a voice and intense feeling you need to pull that song off
Kieran Shae I came here to type this exact thing. It’s my favourite of his to sing too, and that’s a HARD list (honourable mention to Please Don’t Ask Me and When The War Is Over).
Written for his wife because at the time he was away so much touring etc and wanted her to know how he truly felt, absolutely beautiful song.
Kieran Shae very under appreciated and very very beautiful
Sadie the cleaning lady as well
John Farnham has one of the greatest natural voices ever. He can turn up any time, any day and just open his mouth and that voice comes out.
Virtually every Aussie artist you have done a reaction vid to is in that room, it is the Australian Record Industry Awards.
I am loving your reactions to John Farnham, you must do so many more. One very proud "Aussie" here. The best to you always. :) 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Aussie aussie aussie!!!
@@robertchinnock8017 oi oi oi
Burn for you is awesome. NGL. Aussie here also.
He was possibly one of the best male pop singers going for his time. An amazing range, truly sick. He was in his 60s...
And he's been singing since the 1960's.
John Farnham is a national treasure for us Aussies. Also, for me the lyrics are perfect for how the people of the world feel about what's going on these days. We need to speak up, be a voice for this planet, ourselves, animals etc. Just like John sings......We're not gonna live in silence, we're not gonna live in fear. Great video MRM
the anthem of my teen years
Every patriot in today’s USA needs to upload this and put it on X, TH-cam, everything else. It’s speaking to all of us.
Farnham has a song called “Burn For You” really just sensational.
We love John, he's also just a lovely bloke ❤🇦🇺🦘
Fun fact.... one of his back up singers, Venetta Fields, sang backing vocals on Pink Floyds Dark Side Of The Moon
she also sang on Tumblin Dice by the Rolling Stones!
Backing vocals for great gig in the sky, She was outside and Roger Waters asked if she could sing. The rest is history.
@@HiggyRSQ I'm sorry mate, there were no 'backing vocals' on 'Great Gig In The Sky', just one vocalist and as good as Vanetta is, it wasn't her. It was an English women named Clare Torry and boy was she good!
But Vanetta did do backing vocals for those others mentioned above plus Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, The Doors, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Diana Ross, Alice Cooper, Joe Cocker, Joe Walsh, Bob Seger, Boz Scaggs, Humble Pie......the list goes on (it's all on Wiki, as well as Clare Torry's story....check it out) All this was all before Vanetta's illustrious career in Australia with Farnham and others. She is amazing.
Yep, she has an almost endless resume. Her career as a singer has been phenominal. Her voice makes angels sound lifeless. Very sort after singer across the globe.
Venetta also sang on and briefly appeared in the Streisand version of A Star is Born, as one of the backup singers in the beginning of the movie. She was also an Ikette with Tina Turner. Her resume is a veritable who’s who of music royalty.
He is a Legend ...Damn that voice ..wow..Love from India !!!
When he throws that mic stand into the air and catches it without missing a beat is so awesome! He is great!
@@kjdavis1 Yeah he has lol! but he goes with it like a pro! Usually flips it up into his hand with his foot or some variation. He just has fun!
@@kjdavis1 I'm getting that . . I've become a fanboy over the last year . . . have you seen any of his Little River Band vids on You Tube . . . amazing. th-cam.com/video/bsGkSDHJY3Y/w-d-xo.html
@@kjdavis1 I totally forgot he did that one! Yeah LRB was better with him . . . . I noticed that in some of his older shows after he left LRB he had the same bass player from them. The bald guy.
Kane keep on supplying him with some great aussie tunes. People will slowly learn that us aussies have some great bands too. :)
Copied that from The Who and Bad Company
Wow, I haven't heard this song in so long. I lived in Germany in the 80's and this song was huge over there, it was the number one song there in 1986. Still such a great song.
No one in Australia Would ever say anything bad word about John Farnham as he's so respected. Humble, Talented & such a hard worker. Thanks for reacting :-)
A song so well known here that it runs a close second for the national anthem.
And a distant 3rd to Waltzing Matilda.
I think we put up with the national anthem. Waltzing Matilda is better known.
Wait ... I thought it was our National Anthem.
Probably known better than the national anthem...
@@Katrinagaming-en1os Unfortunately we don't have the legal rights to Waltzing Matilda. Some American does.
I am so happy bout being an Australian best place on the planet, Freedom.
The ARIAs is the Australian Grammys.
It's Australian Record Industry Awards. You can't compare it to the Grammys.
You idiots our equivalent
His breath work is insane. We usually sing this song when protesting our government. It sounds amazing with thousands of people marching the street! He's pushing 70 now and his voice is still a powerhouse. He played at a festival last year and the young audience loved him. We grew up with him so it was really nice to see. This song they loved the most, it felt like it was their voice too, empowering. They could relate with everything going on. We had to evacuate due to unprecedented bushfires. 9,000 people!
One of the best voices I’ve seen live. Absolutely phenomenal
World class singer but more importantly an entertainer and a good Aussie bloke. This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded
Greetings from down under, glad your loving our Johnny as much as we do !
he was mid 60's when he did this, hes early 70's now, and still going strong. Im not old enough to have heard him when he first came out, but I have been following him since mid 70's and hes NEVER lost it!!!!!
Now he is the greatest Australian singer.we love him dearly.
John Farnham, aka Farnsy, is the Australian national treasure and this song is the unofficial national anthem. Impossible not to sing along. He’s also a genuinely nice guy.
I love John Farnham he is the voice
There is no better artis than John live!
The ARIAS are our Australian music awards!
The people in the auditorium are his peers!
The GOAT for Australian music
John has been around since the 60s! Stepped in as lead for the Little River Band, has had highs and low career points but still a hell of a musician! In his 60s now, 69 in fact, but can still belt it out! Thanks again
Please ty and other supporters of John give prayer who is battling throat cancer
Modern Renaissance Man
You may have noticed the crowds in our awards ceremonies are a little more animated
In the audience at video point 3:32 is Glenn Wheatley with his hand on his wife's shoulder/
Wheatley is Farnham's friend and manager. Wheatley had been the bass player in an earlier Aussie band; The Masters Apprentices. When he left that band he went into music management.
John Farnham was a long-standing feature in the music industry here... known as Johnny Farnham. He and Wheatley became good mates.
Farnham spent time as the frontman of The Little River Band before wanting to do his own thing.
Wheatley financed the album - what would become "Whispering Jack" by putting his own house into hock.
"Whispering Jack" - which features "You're the Voice" was a massive commercial success and he got repaid the money many times over. He had put his money up to back his mate and it paid off
It would also be good if you could look at
"Because I Love You" by The Masters Apprentices
th-cam.com/video/oKE2hmgzUgo/w-d-xo.html
Also the man u see at 4:33 in the crowd... hes name is glen westley and he morgaged everything to get whispering jack (johns album) made ... he could of lost everything but he had such faith in john and I'd payed off he is the biggest name in Australia and known well in Europe and new Zealand and the uk
The best voice in the world! PERIOD
He was born in Essex UK, then on to Australia aged 10 yrs old (with the family!!). With that he sang 'Your the Voice' bang in the days it was also incredible. Lovely guy.
I was riding my horse at a rodeo practice day (back in the mid 1990’s, just warming him up, when a gentleman joined me warming his horse up. We chatted for about 20 mins about anything and everything. Then he introduced himself, it was John Farnham, I apologised for not recognising him (felt like a goof), he just said “that’s ok, glad I can still blend in and have a normal conversation with someone”. Honestly, such a truly beautiful genuine gentleman. Totally did not expect to meet him in a little town on an island
John Farnham I have meet that man and seen him sing and got too talk too him mate he is such a Gentleman a true people person he is not stuck up or think he is better then any one a really true Aussie
True and proud of his members thats what i admire him most! Not self centeref!
A good friend of mine worked as a sound engineer for one of his more recent tours. During his vocal warmups he would show off his full range of vocals, and in an empty arena, with just him and his microphone, my friend said he's never heard a voice like it. So much range & so much control. And keep in mind he was well into his 60's at this point.
Jimmy McCallum I was 15 years old riding my horse, warming him up at the rodeo grounds in a little town in Tasmania (1996 or 97), when another horse and rider started riding beside me, this gentleman was very polite, we chatted about general things and just casually rode our horses in the arena for about 45mins. As we came out into the parking area with the horse floats, he let me tie my horse to his trailer as I didn’t have a trailer of my own. He had told me his name was John, it wasn’t till very late that day after he left, that I learned his full name was John Farnham. I was so shocked, I grew up on his songs, my dad was a fan, yet he was so down to earth and humble that I just didn’t recognise him.
@@vandemanferretstasmania.ni9576 Yeah he has quarter horses.
Jimmy McCallum John turned 70 in 2019 and still singing, as you probably know, when he did the Hay Mate tour. So he’ll be 71 in about 6 months lol 👍 WTG John
Wow what a once in a lifetime experience 😮 Would love to have heard that!
Born 1st July 1949 so he's 72yo this year and he can STILL belt that out exactly like that! He is our voice! 💖
There is no one that is like the legend that is John Farnham! Voted by Australia's singers and musicians as the greatest voice in Australia in 100 years! John could still sing that well 10 years after that!!!
When you have the entire Australian Recording Industry Association (Basically everyone in music in Australia) standing on their feet and swaying and singing along with you, you know you have an iconic song sung by the icon.
Hey just came across this today and I remembered see this live.
So you know John turned 70 this year and I took my daughter to see him last year and he still sings this good. He is just amazing. He also sang this song with Coldplay (They wanted to sing with him) and Celine Dion is a huge fan of him ( there is clips of them singing together as well).
You have to remember that John Farnham is as nice a guy as he is a singer you will never hear a bad word about him !!
He’s well loved here in Australia - his voice, humour and down to earth nature make him the star he is. It’s awesome to see your reaction to a song we take for granted ❤️❤️ a powerful message for today’s times as well.
What great arrangement with the AC DC bagpipe riff from “ Its a long way to the top” thrown in as well
Our Mr Farnham, yes what a legend. I liken him to my other icon, Freddy Mercury, 2 powerful voices. Wow, so powerful even live, bravo Mr Farnham, standing ovation from me too 🙏👏
John Farnham is the only artist local or foreign to achieve number one status on the Australian chart in five consecutive decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s)
I loved your smiles before saying a single word! You were obviously lifted up by the song and that's the miracle of music, around to world!
This was in front of his peers, john is loved by all.
There was a lot of aussie talent in that room which the camera went over. I reckon you will like Marcia Hines and her daughter Deni. Marcia was born in America but came here in her early teens and made her career here. Now considered one of our greatest aussie singers. Her rich deep voice is gorgeous to listen to.
John was a pop star when his was a teenage boy. Now 35 hears later he con do this concert and it cannot be beat, with that magnificent and powerful voice. Any song he sings will never be diminished, because, now one beats his voice.
Modern Renaissance Man, I’ve subscribed and clicked “like” on nearly every upload you have..... Simply because 1. I enjoy your GENUINE reactions... 2. You have reviewed so many John Farnham music clips and 3. You DO review Australian music!! Well done, you are my absolute favourite reaction video channel! (p.s I love the fact you play the video without pausing!) Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Australia's national treasure
This is Australia’s music king.
Such a powerful song. Gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye
Greetings again from down under! To offer a little context to this clip, John Farnham is an Aussie music legend and this was the number 1 song from his 1986 album "Whispering Jack" and is an Aussie staple (you cannot help but sing along). He is performing here at The ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards, so many of the crowd in the clip are Australian music identities.
As a stagehand at the very first ARIA's I met him back stage and he is such a likable and humble person. I've also seen him live in concert several times and he truly loves and appreciates his audience (going so far as to have the houselights turned up so he can see the crowd singing along)
He did a duet with Olivia Newton John at his "Main Event" concert and I would love to see your reaction to their song "Please Don't Ask Me"
Once again, all the best MRM and keep those reaction clips coming!
@@kjdavis1 this song is a live version of Angels from 2000 - it shows John's full range - please, please request MRM to review it - th-cam.com/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/w-d-xo.html
I was introduced to him in 1982 when I saw him in concert with the Little River Band when he replaced Glenn Shorrock.
I saw him on stage in the sixties when we were both teenagers. His hit at the time was "Sadie, the cleaning lady"
Good on ya, mate!
One of the great Pop voices of the past 50 years and a rousing song!
Aaahhhh the mike stand throw. Classic Farnham. ARIA. Australian Record Music Awards. This is our National Anthem. LOVE.
Johnny Farnham is one of our most loved icons in Australia, he is royalty in our beautiful land...Nice to see you enjoying him so much. He is amazing live...another one of our artists you should review is Jimmy Barnes, Working Class Man, he's also done a few songs with Johnny. I enjoyed your video alot, keep 'em coming
Aussies are big on our Scottish roots. We love bagpipes. If you have ever heard AC/DC, the original singer played bagpipes.
Bon never played bagpipes. He hadn't a clue how to even put them together. Also Dave Evans was the original lead singer of AC/DC
@@swinetrek fair call on the original singer, I forgot about him but he did play the bagpipes. He was certainly no master but he did play them.
To most Aussie's this is the greatest song ever! Another John Farnham song that is brilliant is "Burn for You", such a beautiful song.
When John was 70 they didn’t have to change his music at all. He sounded just like that. He is now 72. I loved that you had a blonde couple standing in that video. That was his friend and manager Glenn Wheatley with his wife Gaynor. When no one in America or here would make John’s album whispering Jack. Glenn mortgaged his home to do it. When no one would play it Glenn didn’t give up until the people heard it and demanded it was played. It stayed at number one for 26 weeks. Not even Michael Jackson could move it. That song was the last song put on that album.
John and Glenn have always been family to us all. A week ago we lost Glenn to complications from Covid. I don’t think John will sing again and that is our loss but I will understand why.
John was about 54 when this was filmed.
One of our best artists (australia's) and I got to meet him when I was 16 many moons ago. still am a huge huge fan and love that voice ! He's older now but still has that voice
Just an impeccably beautiful voice. One of my all time favorite songs and practically no one in America knows it.
I reckon you would love Marcia Hines and her daughter Deni. Marcia is an American singer that moved to Australia permanently at 16 and made her name and career here. Just as much an Aussie icon as John and others. You see her next to her daughter numerous times in this clip clapping, singing and dancing along. God she has an equally very powerful voice and amazing range, but she holds back majority of the time. There are only a few times she has let rip with her full range. Beautiful woman inside and out with the classic australian outlook and attitude to life.
You reacted to John Farnham singing the Beatles song Help about 40 years ago and I loved your reaction to his voice and crowd interaction.
His voice is Awesome.
☮❤🦘🇦🇺
Just subscribed to your channel. Why because you really told the truth about Our John Farnham. He still has the VOICE! I would really love you as an American to listen to Russell Morris way before my time, but I discoverd Russell in the 80s the song is "The real Thing" it's Amazing. Hugs from Australia xx
Farnsey's concert in Melbourne, 1980s, with his amazing band and backing singers, and the amazing Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. On youtube. Watch it LIVE!. Together with Long Way to the Top - cover of the AC/DC hit. E❤
If you want to see him interact with a crowd you need to look for the Concert he did for the troops at Dilli - it was in 1999 I think, they broadcast it and I remember watching it on TV
ARIA is the music awards....1st hit he had was the song was " sadie the cleaning lady" back as a young man
That particular ARIA awards John had already retired , that song is 35 years old. John must have been in his 60s then. Check out the last act of Fire Fight LiveAid Australia February 2020. John closed the night with this song. About 50,000 + in the audience. They raised $9M
A great Australian icon. Beautiful voice. Thanks for your review my brother.
It's the Australian music awards show we have in Australia here every year in Australia here mate cheers from Cameron in Australia here
John was 73 when he sang that night ,find things he sang when he was younger. You think he blew you away this night wow you are in for an amazing time ..
Kane Davis knows his songs and it's nice of you to share them. Enjoying your reaction videos bro
Glad you like them!
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man have you see John Farnham "in days to come" it's not bad ay
Truly one of the great performers of all time. His nickname is “The Voice.”
Love the little shout out to ACDC. Both bands had massive hits with a bagpipe solo, but in this version of You're The Voice, the pipe part is actually the ACDC Long Way to the Top part.
John Farnham was 54 years old here on this video and is still singing strong now at 72 and is still "THE VOICE" to Australians.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was blown away. I lived on the Canadian border when it was released and only Canadian (Toronto area) radio stations seemed to play it - nothing from the Buffalo market. Heart did a fabulous cover of this.
John Farnham is an Australian ikon is the music industry. That’s why he is in the Aussie music hall of fame. From Sadie the cleaning lady to being lead in Jesus Christ Super Star and then 1986 Whispering jack. This guy know how to perform and engage the audience. He is just pure gold. One of the best voices in the industry Tom Jones was blown away from John Farnham voice, now that’s an accolade.
One of the things that makes him such a great performer is the strength of his voice and his ability, in concert, to sing the last song with as much strength as the first.. an incredible voice ... wel done John Farnham!
Love love our beautiful John Farnham. First concert I ever went to when I was a teenager
The way you watch and listen to John, its like your watching an old friend. Yeah we notice it :)
Great pick Kane! He still has an awesome voice!
The ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Awards) Awards are the equivalent of the Grammy’s. He was singing to a room full of his peers and younger recording artists. It was wonderful to see even jaded record producers fall under the Farnham spell. He really is the consummate performer with a voice that just keeps on going strong.
He was around 54 at the time of that performance. :)
Always loved this song, and Farnham is a legend in Australia. It's a shame he isn't more well known in America. He was the lead singer for The Little River Band for a short while too.
