I'm an Aussie and, therefore, an over-protective John Farnham fan (which is the law here) - I approve of this cover. Well done Tommy. That's a damn hard song to cover.
Hi Charlie. That's a performance, and production, of epic proportions. . John Farnham's live version, with the Melbourne S. O., will always be my favourite but this also is brilliant. Whenever people react to this song their faces light up, their smiles get wider. It's a message song, a rallying song, it should make people intense, ready to go and do battle,, but it just makes people so happy. Amazing. June'24. UK E ❤.
I wasn’t sure at the beginning! Not John, but really fantastic. Don’t think he could do it live like John, but really awesome! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
Thank you so much for reacting to Tommy’s version Charlie ❤ Tommy is amazing and did more than justice to our unofficial Aussie anthem!!! As an Aussie and massive JF fan (as I know you yourself are), I have to say that Tommy’s cover is awesome +++ and I think he is the only artist worth even considering to cover any of John’s songs, especially “You’re The Voice”! Tommy’s respectful attitude toward covering songs written/recorded by others is beyond, then you have the fact that his vocals are phenomenal, plus add that to his absolutely and completely insane instrumental ability, music arrangement and production ability….Tommy has to be one of the best well rounded artists of the modern age! ❤ This version gets me in the heart just as much as John’s does and that’s really saying something!!! We need Tommy to be much more well known worldwide!!! BTW… your reactions are almost always spot on…your comments on everything you react to come from your heart, what you are feeling and are really insightful…that is what music does/should do to everyone!
Have to disagree with you on the fact he is the only artist that should cover John. Delta Goodrem absolutely SMASHES this song as well as Burn for You. As a fellow Australian and friend I know John approves of her renditions too.
Thanks Champ. When I first saw this my initial reaction was "Charlie will get a kick out of this". The look on your face proved me right lol. There's just enough Tommy in the piece to make it different while keeping the Farnsy sentiment and the big production, anthemic nature of the original. I really felt that I was giving something back by asking you to react to this. So glad you enjoyed it.Take care my friend!
This is what Tommy do. He keeps the soul of the original and sprinkle some Tommy to give it some of his flavour. I strongly suggest you to check out his take on Bohemian rhapsody by Queen.
Well as a true blue John Farnham fan, this truly blew me away, props to Tommy. Always love your reactions Charlie, honest, heartfelt and emotional ❤ again props to Tommy but can't top John and the MSO, sorry 😊

It is an awesome performance and with the Majepic dragon guitar. Great reaction. Like when reactors have listen to the original as well.
I'm a huge John Farnham fan and I love this song, especially the version with the MSO. Tommy has stepped up to the party with this version - it needs to be belted out with passion and conviction, and he has done that with spades !!! (Still prefer John's version, but I'll admit I am biased.)
Watching this yet again (view it frequently) This must be the happiest anthem ever in the world, people have big smiles on their faces when it's played. . Masterclass of this song has to be John Farnham with the Melbourne S O, but this version is incredible in its own right. I love that there are powerhouse singers who can do justice to these epic songs. So much more enjoyable than a lot of today's pop music. Aug'24. UK. E❤
Great reaction to a great song. Tommy has a good voice and does a good job covering John's song. Of course, it's been done in the studio with a bit of studio trickery thrown in. Even so, I really liked it. I've seen your fantastic reaction to Farnsey singing this song, Charlie. But for everyone else, if you want to hear the original and the best, go and watch John Farnham singing 'You're The Voice' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and prepare to have your mind completely blown. John is the GOAT!!!!
@@mxslick50 I've seen it. John would be impressed yes. Humbled? Absolutely not. Have you seen his live performance with the Melbourne symphony orchestra? If you think this is better you are completely delusional
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Wow, how really professional of you. I have a different take on this, and you resort to childish insults? Yes I have seen the Melbourne performance, Whispering Jack, The Aria awards and the firefighter benefit performance (which had the worst ever sound mix engineer involved.) I have also seen just about every other cover of this song as well,. some good, some not so good. And I have never resorted to childish insults to make a point about any of them. Bottom line is this: YOU are in no position to call me or anyone else delusional, we all have different musical tastes, backgrounds and perceptions. (And a lot of the others agree with my opinion). You need to post an apology right here on this thread for your rudeness.
Tommy did a great job with John Farnham's anthem👏👏 BTW I want Tommy's hair😂 I was going to say "his" but there may have been confusion between the blonde mullet & the long flowing blonde locks😆
@@briangill4000 yeah, Tommy has done some great covers, very talented guy. And at 36, he must've found the fountain of youth.. still looks 20 LoL... I hate him 😜
No Tommy is not John Farnham! But I think he did a really great cover of this song. A cover is a cover and I don't think that Tommy tried to sound like John Farnham. He did a cover of a song he likes and as I said, he did a great job 💥
As a New Zealander 🇳🇿, we also have suffered from the Farnham. So in my unbiased opinion, Farnhams Original is 90% and Tommys'is around 80% very rarely is a cover better then the original (Disturbed notwithstanding)
2:42 Charlie, you've no idea the nerve you've struck for Australians, in the best of ways with the advice "do yourself a favour". Molly Meldrum was a music industry icon here and this was his catch phrase. 😊
His voice is a bit overpowering at times in his performance of this song.In addition to this the music is a bit loud at certain parts when Tommy is singing.I prefer Eric Gronwall'l smooth, silky, powerful voice when singing this song.Yes, Eric Gronwall also did a cover version of this same.His performance of this song was breathtaking.In addition to this Eric displayed more passion and soul in this sing.Please check it out.😅😅😊
Lol I've never understood how people's appreciation for one artist stops them from appreciating another. I literally couldn't love John's version more. It's one of my favourite things in the world. I can still appreciate this though 🤷🏻♂️
This is a performer who is totally himself, totally authentic. He never tries to "mimic" the original artists. There is nothing substandard about this artist. Or his performance, or the production. UK. E❤.
Come on Darren, that's a bit harsh. John is still the king, but this is probably the best attempt at this song I have heard. Great vocals and awesome musicianship on multiple instruments. Before you say it, I know John can play a number of instruments, but he chooses not to.

An anthem for sure!!! ✊
As a Aussie I can say Tommy Johansson sang this absolutely fantastic Bravo Tommy ❤ this song needs to be heard now to the world ❤
I wasn’t sure at the beginning! Not John, but really fantastic. Don’t think he could do it live like John, but really awesome! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
Tommy is the best rock artisy out there.
Here in Australia we just love John. Great version of an iconic song
Always here for Our Tommy!!
Tommy is a fantastic multiinstrumentalist and the voice is outstanding. He crushes every song he does.
What a fantastic modern version of this classic song. EPIC
Tommy's got an attractive, dynamic energy!

Great voice, great cover ,great job but nothing will ever top John Farnham ‘ live ‘ with MSO. Thanks Charlie.🫶🇦🇺✌️
BOTH give me chills and leave me feeling empowered to stand up! TOMMY did this SO WELL! Wonderful reaction! Thank you. 👊✊
Fabulous! Tommy did a great job. It's such a joy to see more people getting into John's music and spreading the word to the world.
Tommy doing it ALL 💪💪🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶 awesome
Tommy is unique.
Amazing reaction.
Big hug from Brazil.
John would love it readily acknowledging Tommy's stamp on it. D 💜
Talent+beauty+congeniality=Tommy Johansson 😄❤️🎸
Just love your reactions, Charlie ❤❤❤ You understand music and musicians. Blessings to you. Keep reacting.

So true!!!
Tommy is always fascinating ❤

Great reaction! So fun watching you having fun with Tommy's rendition

The fantastic and beautiful thing is Tommy never sounds like he’s part of a boy band or has ever been part of a boy band. Thank God.

Loved your enthusiastic reaction to this phenomenal song and artist❤
Best version of this song is any pub, wedding or party after a few drinks and every single person in the room joins in. It’s an Aussie icon
Awesome reaction
Tommy is sooo good on all things 🎤🎸🔥
Yes !!!
He is the new , Mozart 🎉
Fantastic reaction!Thank you!❤❤❤
Tommy takes a song that is already epic and kicks it up a few notches. The instruments, Tommy's vocals, make for a new level of epicness #teamTommy
Hmmm he's not topping John Farnham I'm going to be perfectly honest. It was great but I think 'up a few notches' is a big stretch in this case

@@TheCharlieSmithChannel You're also a prat. I'm sure you can understand that word.
Thanks! Please, check out Tommy Johansson and his She's Gone (Steelheart). 😊
Tommy has made a cool duet with Erik Grönwall. "CAROLUS REX" 🤩🤩 ( a Sabaton cover)
Dirty loops and Tommy should coooollabbb!
Im aussie. Hes good though. But no one can beat John farnham
Love John Farnham and Artualian music
Epic❤❤
Tommy did a great job with John Farnham's anthem👏👏
BTW I want Tommy's hair😂 I was going to say "his" but there may have been confusion between the blonde mullet & the long flowing blonde locks😆
Many try to cover this iconic song..few do it justice... Tommy smashed it out the park!!! Ofc I prefer John's, but this was fantastic!
Well said Jem. This is pretty awesome, especially since he is playing all the instruments. But, John will always be King.

It reminds me of the song" Tommy can you hear me." by the Who.
Delta Goodrem also does a beautiful version of this song
Loreens version of this song is also great. Another great Swefush singer covering it - Checka it out.
❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤
Yep, definitely a track that needs just a touch of Viking blood to pull off 😂 Super impressive… thanks for the reaction Charlie!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great cover please also check out Erik Grönwalls cover of the same song!

Molly Meldrum was a music industry icon here and this was his catch phrase. 😊
What about he's fellow also swede singer Erik Grönwall that also did a metal cover of the song. Both versions just as nice?

Hola, porque no has reaccionado mas a Dimash, reacciona las dos más Nuevas SMOKE y CUANDO TE ENCONTRÉ son muy buenas
Hard to listen to when the best of the best "John Farnham "released this song..
Everyone is just substandard 🙄

A lot of back up noise to add to his voice. No where near as good as original.
Sorry, can’t agree with you on this one Charlie.
