I’m curious if there are many other non-Australians who are now Jimmy Barnes fans after watching these reviews. It warms my heart to see him getting the recognition he so greatly deserves.
Some times corporate opinions think that people around the world cant hear or appreciate music from other countries or cultures . My saying is if you don't know the answer to things it's about money 💲. There's a lot to learn and love about people.
And so down to earth. I think that was the beauty of the Australian Pub Rock scene. The bands were just like anyone else except they had musical talent to burn but, they would mix it up with the locals during set breaks & after whenever they performed at smaller venues. Egos just didn't come into it.
Let’s remember that in 1984, Jimmy had likely consumed a bottle of liquor on stage before belting this out. He’s just so gifted, so blessed with ability that nothing dulls his shine. Impressive always. Xxx
"He would have won every singing competition around" Jimmy was fronting rock bands since 15 years old. One of my fave songs and showcases his vocal talents and soul.
I love the passion you have for Jimmy! I was lucky enough to sing goodbye Astrid on stage with him in the late 90’s with Cold Chisel. He is a force of nature!
“He raises my level of anxiety…” 😂😂 Now you’re in contact with him, and as you also sing so well, it seems logical a duet is imminent! And boy, are we looking forward to that!!
Amen mate! You explained his vocal prowess so well wish more Aussies understood. Ps. The joy of Jimmy singing on your face gave me happy tears again. 🥰
The absolute best thing… amongst many…about your channel is that I’m learning to appreciate “singing” and what really go s into songs! That, and quite frankly brother, your attention to detail and passion drips from the screen. Favourite channel now and encouraging others to catch “religion “!! 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Jimmy in his early career was a complete Rock God in Australia and of course still is! However over there years we’ve had the joy of experiencing his musical journey with him. I feel his voice and the experience of hearing and watching him sing hits my soul and I have Anxiety too so I get that feeling!
This is one of my absolute favourite performance of Jimmy’s, it gives me chills and goosebumps. I just love how much you appreciate the Barnes’s family’s talents. The fact that that they have contacted you just shows me how much they appreciate someone like yourself realise how special they all are. I’m so happy for you and them the cover that you are bringing them, and showcasing them to the rest of the world. Lots of love from Melbourne Australia ♥️😊
I am so grateful that you introduced me to Jimmy's music. I love everything that I've heard of his. I am over 60 and feel like I really missed out not having found his music until now. Fabulous job and yes I love the whole family I also get chills alot listening to it. MANY THANKS.
Can't express my joy at watching you 'react' to Jimmy. Loved your analysis on his vocals etc. If it's possible I think I am even more of a fan of his now...lol
Still learning so much from you about Jimmy’s voice and I’ve been listening to him all my life! Even as a kid, I knew he was a rock god but I always thought he had so much soul when he sang. I really like that side of his voice. You should listen to “When Your Love is Gone”, one of my favourites. Hope you do make it to Australia soon, us Aussies will roll out the red carpet for you! 🇦🇺 ❤️👍🏼
After ten years rocking with Cold Chisel, this was the beginning of his solo career and just shy of ten years before he went full soul with his Soul Deep album.
@@ausmarkb Yeah it was late in 83, I was 18 and couldn't get tickets to the Melbourne leg. I left my run too late.. I did buy The last Stand on VHS and played that a million times. That is one great live concert. I need to buy it on DVD as the VCR player been gone a long time now.
even myself ...as a seasoned decades long fan , here in australia ....is surprised at how effortlessly he jumps from vocal fry to smooth lines ......probably at his peak here ....crazy good !
People loved to go to his consents to feel the hair there skin and hair give them chills, girls would have tears in there eye with some of his songs. Men loves his highs and lows and grawls in his singing voice.
Love all your enthusiastic reactions, am appreciating again our great Australian singers, listen every morning to you and ,john, jimmy, billy, tina, vanessa, Delta thankyou
Fave song, fave singer. Hadn’t heard that before! We Aussies have had Jimmy on our cereal daily for forever. We are not blaze. We are demanding. We are accustomed to such fine excellence we tend to just expect it. This is what we listen to at the shops, at the pubs, at the service station while we’re pumping fuel. They call us the Lucky Country. Just saying... Thanks for reminding us what we already nee but hearing it with new ears is nice... Oh! Just recalled cute anecdote of a time I worked on a gig with him... lol next time ...
fyi Jimmy's wife Jane is an amazing Person in her own right. Super intelligent and has stood by Jimmy though some very dark times. Their children are a testament to the wonderful people they are.
If you like spinach you'll probably love collards. Cook them with bacon in the pot, a splash of vinegar, and a pan of cornbread. Hard core folks like me enjoy a slice of sweet onion on the side. 😁💜💚💛✌️
I have never been a Jimmy Barnes fan, and I don’t think I ever will be, but that could largely be because I run karaoke for a living and have to listen to too many drunks think they can sing his songs, but your channel has definitely made me appreciate his abilities to a higher level, so thank you for that
Jimmy... legend. I grew up with his music. I served him free booze at the Largs Pier in 1975. I was part of the problem. But he provided the solution. Nice one James.
Great to see your reaction, I've been a fan 4yrs, and had the opportunity to work for him in the 90s and early 2002 as a sound technician, keep up the great work brother.
That band 'Cold Chisel' Australia's greatest band 70s/80s, but never got the international fame/success they deserved. They were a perfect mix of melody and fire. Every person in that band could of had a solo career. If you want to know where Jimmy got his fire from you will need to watch his movie/Doco or book "working class boy".
@@gavvisser2176 It's a very powerful song. Jimmy wrote 'stand your ground' on a photo of him and me in 2017. I had that photo with me when I was self representing in the Family Court and those 3 words on a 6 x 4 piece of card gave me so, so much strength
@@libyaau ive seen jimmy 24 times, not once did he not play Second Prize. My reason for this song saving my life was my my ex wife was a horrible person and we wanted to take my kids. No happier than ever.
Your reactions are the best and makes my heart so happy that you enjoy our singers especially our iconic legends of Australian Music. Keep them coming brutha... 🙏🇦🇺❤️
I saw Jimmy performing at a pub in Canberra in 1984 or 1985. I was standing just a few metres away from him and I recall the speakers were huge - I couldn't hear properly for days! It was great and he gave it his all, sweat was just pouring off him. So nice to see a video from this same time.
Im kind of jealous of people who are just discovering our Aussie icon. I still remember the first time I heard his voice when I was a little kid. He will always be my Aussie idol ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know why, but I today I really needed a reminder about how many amazing artists we have in Australia. I’m loving watching your videos on Aussie singers. Cheers!
Renee Geyer , please have a listen , Her voice ....and I know you love Jimmy but he's always on 10. PS I love your reactions, you make me smile.Greetings from Australia.
Thank you for your respect for Jimmy(the GOAT) in my opinion. Like you say he does not scream. F the aholes who think different. Lots of love to you bro
Jimmy’s first solo album was Bodyswerve and this was just one of so many classic songs from that album. This song was my favourite for many years. He also covers Janis Joplin’s “Piece Of My Heart” on this album which is also fire. In fact, the whole album is fire with not a dud track on it. Compulsory listening for any Jimmy fan.
Good evening Nick....... this is gold....... keep up the Aussie love matey.... you continually make my day with these..... I would love to see you get a chance to meet Jimmy and the family or see a show....
This song was from his first solo album after Cold Chisel broke up called 'No Second Prize.' I've seen Cold Chisel so many times and I saw Jimmy with this first band and it was just as electric. The night I saw this was when Jimmy said that his wife Jane had just had a daughter that they named 'Mahalia' after Mahalia Jackson. Thanks for sharing!
Did you know Jimmy once said that to warm up his voice he does those short sharp squeals.... apparently he uses secondary vocal cords or some such thing so it doesn't strain his voice.... Watched something on tv where he explains it many years ago
Sounds like something a heavy-metal vocalist would do. That is smart because they are the most resilient and best singers in the world. Besides Filipinos. And Australians, lol.
I did not know Jimmy covered this amazing song, so I got to hear it with you the first time! And omg... from the 1st "It's " I got chills.. thank you for sharing this. I arrived in Oz a year or two after this came out from Finland and JB became my favourite immediately.
Love your channel, and thank you for showcasing Aussie artists, we love Jimmy, a definite icon here in Aus. I just recently booked tickets to see him. I am from a state called Victoria and their were very limited tickets left and none when I could go, so flying 2 flights to Port Macquarie which is in another State, just so I can see him. I cant wait! I am going with my mum who absolutely loves him. He definitely crosses all generations, a legend.
That is who it is. Man, how did he assemble such a good band together at his first attempt at going solo. I think there is a video of 5 songs from this concert and it absolute fire, both Jimmy and the band.
John Swan just posted your reaction to Lady what's your name on his Facebook page. You should check out their youngest brother, Alan Barnes band "( I need) a little love tonight" It's Alan's birthday today
I think the great Australian rock scene began with the amazing Johnny O’Keefe back in the 50s & 60s, with songs like ‘Shout’ and ‘Wild One’… You should check him out… 👍
Stunning! Jimmy is amazing, and I’m so happy that you’re focusing on his singing ability. He’s still underrated as a vocalist even in Australia. Loved as a rockstar, but his vocal skills often get overlooked! To be fair, a lot of the ‘he just screams’ stuff comes from Jimmy because he often refers to his voice like that. But we all know better!
You really should check out the audition of Caryse Eden, Australia's first The Voice winner singing It's A Man's World. Soulful and raw. I love how you love Jimmy like Aussies do. ☮️
Seen him multiple times; in the late 8ps he was at his peak, was at a concert and he was hitting notes and we in the mosh pit were actually looking around at each other as iF to say ‘ did he actually just do that?’. An insanely powerful voice hitting notes one shouldn’t be able to hit.
I was at this show and the ones on the next two nights, Cold Chisel were Aussie gods! In those days Jimmy would drink a whole bottle of vodka ON STAGE each and every night......and yet still performed. Amazing.
@@chisel83 Yes, This was on his first solo album called Bodyswerve No Second Prize was the main hit on radio from this album but the whole album has great songs like this.
A mate of mine picked me up from Hospital one evening, and instead of taking me home after the operation, she thought It'd be fun to take me to a smallish room at the Casino in Melbourne to see Barnsy. It was pitch black in the room and I has no idea that I was positioned in front of a speaker. Jimmy came on, opened up his formidable vocal cords and I almost died of fright. My arms and legs made a star jump about 6 feet off the floor & I screamed louder than Jimmy. 🤣Christ I got a fright. My heart pounded so loudly & rapidly that I nearly fainted. I love him, but perhaps it wasn't the best thing to do post opp. My friend and I still laugh about it. Apart from Tom Jones & John F, there's nobody with a more powerful voice. What a voice he's got. Bless his cotton socks.
In the early 1980’s band called “Cold Chisel” played the pubs… fortunate to see them play a few times with Jimmy as their front man. Glad you have discovered him and appreciate the talent he is…. why has it taken you so long? 😀.
Mate, this is my first comment. We have been watching you for a long time.we love your honest comments. I honestly can’t believe that the world hasn’t embraced Australian music and musicians! Such amazing performers. Keep up the great work. Our favourite channel at the moment. You Sir, are super cool.
I can't believe nobody has gotten him to react to either of our 1st 2, 2nd place Aus Idol ppl, yet! He loves Barnesy, so he would LOVE Shannon Noll (who from memory was introduced to Barnrsy in a later episode of the show...possibly sang with him on it..) Then, the way he loves ppl who can really belt numbers out in a higher range etc. He would love Anthony Callea aswell.. his remake of Boyz II Mens song, End Of The Road, or Janet Jacksons song Together Again, which he actually recorded as a duet with Bonnie Anderson who as a child, won the very 1st season of either Australia's Got Talent or X Factor. It's an amazing version! Actually, I can't seem to find ANYONE who has reacted to ANY songs by ANY of those artists... then there is another song called California which was put out by Savage Garden... that would blow his mind aswell...along with 2 John Farnham songs...they're songs he has reacted to before, but he has never seen/heard them performed this way before...and it would blow his mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I've gotta setup a patron account and get him to start reacting to some of these songs, they are brilliant!
I've seen him a few times live. I prefer to listen to his live shows because nothing is cleaned up and when live it's just raw talent. Love your videos
I’m curious if there are many other non-Australians who are now Jimmy Barnes fans after watching these reviews. It warms my heart to see him getting the recognition he so greatly deserves.
One here from Germany! Discovered Jimmy via "ThatSingerReacts" some weeks ago...
Yes! Huge fan since first hearing him on this reactors channel! I missed out and am now listening to everything Jimmy Barnes!
It's MIND BLOWING people aren't familiar with him in many other places. Like I'm even shocked I didn't know him at first
Some times corporate opinions think that people around the world cant hear or appreciate music from other countries or cultures .
My saying is if you don't know the answer to things it's about money 💲.
There's a lot to learn and love about people.
Me! 😁
When he toured..he didn't just do the main events either. He'd show up to the local pubs, jump on stage and sing all night. Friggin legend ❤️
And so down to earth. I think that was the beauty of the Australian Pub Rock scene. The bands were just like anyone else except they had musical talent to burn but, they would mix it up with the locals during set breaks & after whenever they performed at smaller venues.

Yep. Drambuie. Legend.
And a big bag of coke
Bloke was drunk off his tits and high as kite to boot and still sang the arse off any song. ❤
I’m a Barnes and was called Barnsie at school endlessly. Very proud of my Scottish ancestry. And proud of Jimmy Barnes. He is a legend. Incredible.
👍😁
"He would have won every singing competition around" Jimmy was fronting rock bands since 15 years old. One of my fave songs and showcases his vocal talents and soul.
Keep it coming! Now that you’ve adopted Jimmy as your dad, maybe you could sing with him sometime?
Well the borders are opening up, there’s nothing to say it can’t happen. Let’s cross some fingers and toes.
You could I bet. Jimmy is that kinda guy. Just ask him. I'm sure he will say yes.
What a great idea 👌👌 Do you know if there is a video of our friend from America singing?
I would die honestly lol
Jimmy needs to adopt this guy. The love and appreciation he shows Jimmy, is fantastic.
Jimmy is family, a national treasure 🙏
Yes 👍
I love the passion you have for Jimmy! I was lucky enough to sing goodbye Astrid on stage with him in the late 90’s with Cold Chisel. He is a force of nature!
Oh wow what a legend you're bro 👏🏾
@@ThatSingerReactions I wouldn’t go that far hahaha just right place right time.
I really love the way you love our man Jimmy ❤️
Lol it’s all that vegemite we eat that gives Aussie singers the grit!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Barnsey is a National treasure ❤️❤️❤️❤️
“He raises my level of anxiety…”
😂😂
Now you’re in contact with him, and as you also sing so well, it seems logical a duet is imminent! And boy, are we looking forward to that!!
O would freeze up
Amen mate! You explained his vocal prowess so well wish more Aussies understood. Ps. The joy of Jimmy singing on your face gave me happy tears again. 🥰

After ten years rocking with Cold Chisel, this was the beginning of his solo career and just shy of ten years before he went full soul with his Soul Deep album.
I was thinking that, an early solo gig after Chisel split. Working Class man album was late 1985.
@@iankearns774 and last stand tour was 83 if I remember correctly though the 80’s are a bit of a blur
Soul Deep - as a Chisel and solo fan, I was a bit dubious when it came out - but one listen through and BAM I knew he was the complete package
@@eddiej9733 yeah I remember thinking "oh oh, what's he doing?"
Listened. Bought it.

Man, I love your passion for great singers. When you enjoy and feel the singer, we feel you. You are doing a wonderful job. Love from Australia.
That growl & grit comes from 10+ years on the pub circuit. One of Australia’s finest ✌️
Best line ya don't want Jimmy telling you to clean your bedroom.🤣💯
People loved to go to his consents to feel the hair there skin and hair give them chills, girls would have tears in there eye with some of his songs. Men loves his highs and lows and grawls in his singing voice.
I grew up listening to Jimmy, I always enjoyed his music but took it for granted. Thank you for teaching me to appreciate him and his talent
Gotta love Jimmy - he turns himself inside out when he sings - leaves it all on the stage!
Thanks for appreciating our Australian talent 🤗
Love all your enthusiastic reactions, am appreciating again our great Australian singers, listen every morning to you and ,john, jimmy, billy, tina, vanessa, Delta thankyou
Jimmy so good live, and such a great humble bloke 🇦🇺
Yes he is!
One of my favourites, he is so bloody effortless ❤️
Fave song, fave singer. Hadn’t heard that before! We Aussies have had Jimmy on our cereal daily for forever. We are not blaze. We are demanding. We are accustomed to such fine excellence we tend to just expect it. This is what we listen to at the shops, at the pubs, at the service station while we’re pumping fuel. They call us the Lucky Country. Just saying...
Thanks for reminding us what we already nee but hearing it with new ears is nice...
Oh! Just recalled cute anecdote of a time I worked on a gig with him... lol next time ...
fyi Jimmy's wife Jane is an amazing Person in her own right. Super intelligent and has stood by Jimmy though some very dark times.
Their children are a testament to the wonderful people they are.
shes come from a very privileged family hence her elegance
You are priceless. I’m going have to try collard greens! 🇦🇺
It's a hit or miss for alot of people lol
If you like spinach you'll probably love collards. Cook them with bacon in the pot, a splash of vinegar, and a pan of cornbread. Hard core folks like me enjoy a slice of sweet onion on the side. 😁💜💚💛✌️

I was at this show and the ones on the next two nights, Cold Chisel were Aussie gods! In those days Jimmy would drink a whole bottle of vodka ON STAGE each and every night......and yet still performed. Amazing.
@@chisel83 Yes, This was on his first solo album called Bodyswerve
No Second Prize was the main hit on radio from this album but the whole album has great songs like this.
You have to read his biography it is so good
The fact he's he's singing Sam this good;)
A mate of mine picked me up from Hospital one evening, and instead of taking me home after the operation, she thought It'd be fun to take me to a smallish room at the Casino in Melbourne to see Barnsy. It was pitch black in the room and I has no idea that I was positioned in front of a speaker. Jimmy came on, opened up his formidable vocal cords and I almost died of fright. My arms and legs made a star jump about 6 feet off the floor & I screamed louder than Jimmy. 🤣Christ I got a fright. My heart pounded so loudly & rapidly that I nearly fainted. I love him, but perhaps it wasn't the best thing to do post opp. My friend and I still laugh about it. Apart from Tom Jones & John F, there's nobody with a more powerful voice. What a voice he's got. Bless his cotton socks.
In the early 1980’s band called “Cold Chisel” played the pubs… fortunate to see them play a few times with Jimmy as their front man. Glad you have discovered him and appreciate the talent he is…. why has it taken you so long? 😀.
I never knew it was around until people started requesting it
Mate, this is my first comment. We have been watching you for a long time.we love your honest comments. I honestly can’t believe that the world hasn’t embraced Australian music and musicians! Such amazing performers. Keep up the great work. Our favourite channel at the moment. You Sir, are super cool.
I can't believe nobody has gotten him to react to either of our 1st 2, 2nd place Aus Idol ppl, yet! He loves Barnesy, so he would LOVE Shannon Noll (who from memory was introduced to Barnrsy in a later episode of the show...possibly sang with him on it..)
Then, the way he loves ppl who can really belt numbers out in a higher range etc. He would love Anthony Callea aswell.. his remake of Boyz II Mens song, End Of The Road, or Janet Jacksons song Together Again, which he actually recorded as a duet with Bonnie Anderson who as a child, won the very 1st season of either Australia's Got Talent or X Factor. It's an amazing version!
Actually, I can't seem to find ANYONE who has reacted to ANY songs by ANY of those artists... then there is another song called California which was put out by Savage Garden... that would blow his mind aswell...along with 2 John Farnham songs...they're songs he has reacted to before, but he has never seen/heard them performed this way before...and it would blow his mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I've gotta setup a patron account and get him to start reacting to some of these songs, they are brilliant!
omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO JIMMY!!!!!!!!!
Always Awesome ✌️🍷
I've seen him a few times live. I prefer to listen to his live shows because nothing is cleaned up and when live it's just raw talent. Love your videos
Facts and thank you so much ❤
Jimmy was eating whiskey before going on stage. Its a voice tuned by booze and smokes
DUDE, pipes are on tune man!
