@@RollenGreenRants redeemed yourself a little. I was never a fan of Farnham but I've learnt to recognise his voice is one of the best in the world. Unfortunately the commentary started off with a negative, whilst every other commentator was blown away
@@buff_stuff Redeem yourself? Afternoon Mark, see your wielding that power of a free coupon you found well. As a bus rider and club goer I say please don’t subscribe, negative people we really don’t need. Now if you ever want to ride along and come in the club your always welcome. We don’t skin you for being rude but we do let you know. Could you give a link to a reaction to the same song that you like. This channel is different, we request an artist for our friend Rollen to react too and he honestly gives his feed back. Sometimes it can take months and months before a request is noticed. Sometimes that request fits into the day and it goes right up. When you feel like noticing the beautiful connections we make on here come on back. Also heads up you really cut into a long line to ask Rollen to redeem himself. As a supporter of the channel I can tell you that Rollen has a ton of redemption behind him and really doesn’t need yours buddy. You got a thirty minute video all about you that 16,000 subscribers get to view now. Errrrrr thanks I guess , like and subscribe down below. Just FYI some of us watch because Rollen has something to say and we care nothing about the video. Enjoy your journey Mark 👌👍👋🚌💨💨💨💨💨🤟
@@buff_stuff Turn it up mate, why does the dude have to redeem himself to you? Its a good channel, I like the banter between him and Angie. Who made you the King of Reaction video watching anyway? Too much hubris in you, wheres your channel so I can go and look at your efforts? Sadly the world is full of people like you. You are clearly the ignorant one here champ. Not a fan of Farnham, then why give a shit what other people think? Jog on buddy, close the door on your way out. LMAO
I still remember reading rolling stone when they placed whispering jack (the album this is from) as number 3 in the top 200 albums of all time. He could have been bigger overseas but he wasn't interested in leaving his family and his country for extended touring. Maybe you'll find an Australian that doesn't like his music but you'll have a hard time finding anyone that has a bad word to say about him. Basically he's just a really nice guy with an amazing natural talent.
Having lived in Australia for many years, I came to realise that John Farnham is the greatest singer ever, and this song is the ultimate anthem to define what peace on a world scale means. 'We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son, how long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun'. No other song or singer has ever said it better or with more conviction.
Hey guys! John is my favorite singer ever! This is like the Aussie unofficial national anthem!!! Everybody in Australia knows the words to this song & from what I hear, they need this message more than ever right now as we in America & Canada do also!😊🇺🇸 🇦🇺 🇨🇦
The title song of his second contemporary album The Age of Reason, in my opinion is the sequel to You're The Voice; it appears to address the message, that You're The Voice addresses.
Look for a video call the Main Event. John and Anthony Warlow sing Granada. First time I saw John sing Opera, both are big talents. It is funny and worth watching. John is known here as the Voice. I will miss his concerts but he is great showman on stage.
I'm having Farnham reaction withdrawals, so im going back through all your old reactions. 2 years layer and still appreciate what you do Rollen and Angie too.
Another wonderful reaction guys. There is nothing like being at johns concert and hearing this song. Goosebumps to the extreme. John is such a humble genuine person.
This is a good reaction and you are right. We shouldn't live in silence or fear, this is an anthem though written in the 1980's is so poignant today. I am an Aussie who heard this song when it was released and it was always going to be a hit here in Australia but its sad that other nations never got to hear it at the time when it was released. Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson wrote the song, Keith Reed was the writer of all Procul Harems songs so no surprise how anthemic the song is. John Farnham did absolute justice to it with his amazing vocal talents.
Hi Ian, it was a hit here in the Netherlands in the 80’s. The lyrics made a big impression on me at that time and I never have forgotten them. Such a true and powerfull song! 👋😁🤘🕊
Thank you😘 I understand you so good, Angie, sometimes you really get touched by an artist, song or whatever right away. I had it with this song so many years ago! And its still touching me right in the heart and soul, especially in this very sad and turbulent time! Great reaction again, guys🙏👍😁🌞👋🤘🕊
John is one of the greatest singers / performers of all time - anywhere - any time. I could be biased. Have been in love with John's voice since the age of 11 - bouncing round the house with a pretend microphone in hand hollering "One Is The Loneliest Number"! To a chorus of "Shut UP with that bloody thing already!!!" from siblings & mother. Have remained in love ever since. So that's what... oh... only around 5 decades now. 😍🤣👍 { Holy Mollolly! That's 1/2 a century! 😳😵💫}
I'm right there with you we just didn't have John here in the U.S., but I was definitely doing the microphone thing like you, only to Olivia Newton John 😉~posted by Angie
Speaking as an old Australian fan who has been to quite a few Farnsy concerts. I think you would enjoy "Playing to Win" at the same concert as Your The Voice with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. ruclips.net/video/tDSh8ADBVHA/видео.html
You are correct there was a young guy who sang this a few years ago on American Idol. He was critised by Paula Abdul for singing a song by an artist that Americans did not know.
Very good🤗, fits perfectly ❤️🔥😉👍. I heard that global mix, that was good, and I know what your saying, some do just come out and grab you😁. Great reaction, wonderful words of wisdom ❤️🔥😉👍
Can I just say that the ❤️ between you guys is absolutely beautiful! I’m looking forward to your reaction to Help with the mso, your soul will be shook!😊
The official video is great with relevant visuals, but he's always better live. "we're not gonna sit in silence, we're not gonna live with fear" "we're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son, how long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun?" John practises long and hard at rehearsals, (that's how you keep your voice in shape) so when he performs, it's mainly for fun. Have you seen "Help" from the same concert?
For John if you're after pure joy and happiness, listen to his version of "Reminicing". For pure emotion that will have Angie bawling, listen to "Burn For You". For John to show more soul than you'd imagine, listen to "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby".
Thanks guys for another great reaction. John getting the crowd to use their voice is a nice acting out of the message. I think you would really love to see John's comedic side as well as his range by reacting to Granada where he sings with Anthony Warlow, an Aussie opera and musical theatre great ( they reference Phantom of the Opera). In the beautiful moment of your shared look with each other, you missed John's acrobatics with the microphone stand. Might be worth a look. Cheers.
His best concerts are with the MSO. I took my 6 year old grandson to one of their concerts this afternoon (Saturday 25 February 2023) and he really liked it.
You are right. He is a giver. He puts everything into every performance to please the crowds. If you go far enough down the rabbit hole you will see him drenched in sweat and loving every minute. He loves to perform for his fans he lives to sing. The number of times he has retired and come back out of retirement because 1. We wont let him, and 2. He lives to perform .. Not only that the number of concerts he has done to raise funds for farmers affected by droughts or fires or floods. And overseas to entertain troops on the front line. The way he puts his musicians and back up singers up on pedistals is shown by how long most of them have stayed by his side with him since the 80's. Top that all of with being one of the greatest singers of all time, being cute as hell and an all round nice bloke. This man jas been on top in australia with number one albums in over 5 decades from the 60's to the 2000's. And was still performing occasionally in his 70's. Until covid put a stop to touring. His recorded videos are beatiful and perfect, but live in concert magical as he puts so much more of himself into each performance.
Hi Guys 🖐😊 To us Australians John is a legend & one of the greatest singers in Australian history ! Not only that he is a very funny fella & nice person in real life 😝👍 No one has a bad word to say about his Vocals & ability to sing any song ! He could have been massive overseas but instead John stayed in Australia & didn't tour like other rock stars or bands do ! John Toured his own backyard Australia & won a nation over with his comedy & singing talent 👏👏👍 John just been through hell with mouth cancer surgery & may never sing again unfortunately ! To Australians he is Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️🏖 He is The Voice of Us Here in Our Beautiful Peaceful Country 🇦🇺👍 Steve in Queensland Australia 😝
Happy happy joy joy , this song is a song that is like an anthem for anyone who stops and listens to the message it's as true today as it was back when it was recorded . Check out his other message songs AGE OF REASON , IN DAYS TO COME and THATS FREEDOM all memorable and again topical in this turbulent time .
You’re The Voice was written in influence of nuclear weapons disarmament protest in London in 1985 . The song was originally rejected by the recording company of singer songwriter Chris Thompson . It apparently a demo got to Australia and in the hands of John Farnham through one of songs co-writers Andy Qunta who was working in Australia at that time with Australian band ICEHOUSE and heard that John was looking for songs so sent a demo to John Farnham’s manager Glenn Wheatley. Well John love it at first listen of the demo and it was he’s idea to add the bagpipe solo out of influence of his favourite AC/DC song It’s A Long Way To The Top ( If You Wanna Rock N Roll ) . The original songwriter Chris Thompson firstly refused John Farnham to record You’re The Voice because of the knowledge of John in he’s younger years being teen pop star that sang novelty pop songs like he’s first hit song Sadie The Cleaning Lady back in 1967 at the age 18 , Chris didn’t know that John Farnham had ditched the novelty pop and singing more mature adult contemporary pop rock songs and even fronted the Little River Band from 1982 to the beginning of 1986 . Eventually Chris changed his mind after having a chat with John directly not through management like firstly . Once John finished recording You’re The Voice he sent he’s copy to Chris Thompson and he love it . Chris and Andy has written a few more songs for John since . You’re The Voice revitalised John Farnham career beyond anyones imagination becoming number 1 in Australia 1986 for 6 weeks John first number 1 song in 18 years . The song was also a hit throughout Europe and the UK . You’re The Voice was lead single for John’s Whispering Jack album 1986 which as sold over 1,700,000 copies in Australia making it the highest selling Australian domestic album . John Farnham was first Australian artist prove that Australian artist can outsell and compete with major International artists from the USA and the UK in our local domestic market.
Farnsey is the best. There are better quality clips of this song. One of our big anthems by him. You haven’t even scratched the surface with what Mr. John Farnham can do with that amazing voice of his. Having heard him sing live 10 times was amazing. This song made our Farnsey “The Voice” of Australia. Yep big fan of Farnsey here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ him.
When I was a teenager people thought that John was daggy ie not cool even though he was everywhere, now everyone loves him,I've liked him ever since I was a kid,and yeah I feel the music, when I went to his concerts, the week before I would listen to every song in his catalogue right up to the new album and play and sing along until I was hoarse ,just in case any song he sung live I knew the song. That's a true fan❤🇦🇺
John Farnham has one of the best voices you will ever hear. Best songs to listen to: 1. When Something is Wrong with My Baby, duet with Jimmy Barnes (Official video version is best, in black & white, Johnny Diesel on guitar). 2. Help, with MSO (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra); slow cover of Beatles song. 3. Reminiscing; as lead singer of LRB (Little River Band) from the mid-80s. 4. Gethsemane, from the musical Jesus's Christ Superstar; John played Jesus and the song is a message to God the night before he is crucified. Unbelievably powerful and emotional and freaking amazing vocals. 5. Black Dog; Cover of Led Zeppelin song, on YT, Audio only. Holy hell, at times John sounds exactly Ike Robert Plant
Yes you have heard it, a kid on American Idol sung it and only Simon Cowell knew it because it was a hit in Britain so it didn’t go down well. Early American Idol, probably 2005 or around then.
TBA the sound might be better with the original film clip( which extends the message visually and is great also) But.....you won't get the vibe he hands out when he is in front of a live audience. Truly great showman and a truly great man is our John.💕🇦🇺
I didn't hear anything odd about this. The Melbourne Symphony orchestra made it sound so beautiful and it had a lot of depth. it's an 80's anthem and so vey special here in Oz.
John farnham live is brilliant no matter what please listen to john farnham and Jimmy Barnes they are great together songs like something is wrong with my baby
I've asked another reaction channel for their honest opinion, about a comparison between John Farnham and Elvis Presley; with respect to performance and connection to their audience, do they have the same sort of charisma for their generations.
Rick and George are having a weekend away, had a terrible disagreement on Sunday (over the wine), aren't talking so until they do I'll fill in for them. Farnsey!!
HI FROM OZ! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS YOU GUYS! SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE REACT TO BURN FOR YOU live (you’ll cry) ITS A LONG WAY TO THE TOP live and EVERY TIME YOU CRY (catchy) oh my there’s tons more
There is also a version on YT where John sings it with Celine Dion. This is a great song because when it was first out in 1986 everyone was hoping for The Wall to come down and this was a bit of an anthem.........took 3 more years and it seems that some things are going backwards....sigh. As for feeling a song I don't think you can go past Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' [poor Prince lost control of his song there]. I am sure you know it and have listened to it, but just in case here is a link ▶ ruclips.net/video/0-EF60neguk/видео.html
Sorry but you guys commenting about quality of the song from VHS is ridiculous! Im a proud aussie and if you were to comment that here then you will lose alot of subscribers! John Farnham is a legend period! And you wanting more???? Its spectacular as it is! Clean your ears out woman please
This is what we call his average performance, the one you really need to see is -john Farnham,your the voice (whispering jack) from Gary86 , you’ll see 8 bag pipes and a choir
John underwent a 12 hour surgery for cancer in his throat and we may never hear him sing again so let's pray to God that doesn't happen, it would be devastating
Rollen and Angie you can watch this version of Farnsey singing You’re the Voice ruclips.net/video/ULeMvqeU-Ns/видео.html. It’s from the ARIA award show.
@@TheBrownlj I’ve never seen them! Spent a lot of time at QLD Symphony concerts, and studied with their principal bass player. Love JF’s orchestral backed concerts.
If you would like a new rabbit hole to go down...Can I suggest 4th Impact . They are 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies. They auditioned for X Factor UK 2015 and the video of that audition has more than 184 million views. They have many covers and a few original songs on You Tube....I can suggest the following to chose from : Bohemian Rhapsody Queen Imagine John Lennon I'll be there Jackson 5 This is me and Never enough from The greatest Showman movie Bang bang Jessie J ....with 184 million views on you tube just a few to select from
It's because you guys in America are still thinking the earth it's flat , John farnham is a legend n poops on ur singers who use auto tune constantly and can't write your own music and just change the background music and try rehash old songs! THIS IS ORIGINAL REAL TALENT! get your heads out of your booty and try listening to real music!
Omg have u guys got ears, complaining about the vocals.... I'm not subscribing to this ignorance

Farnham's cover of Help by The Beatles performed with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a must see for you both.
Yeah this
I can’t agree more with this - please review Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra… you’ll love it.
This song is Australia’s unofficial national anthem. There is not an Aussie alive who doesn’t know it. It’s still as relevant today as it was then.

1. When Something is Wrong with My Baby, duet with Jimmy Barnes (Official video version is best, in black & white, Johnny Diesel on guitar).
2. Help, with MSO (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra); slow cover of Beatles song.
3. Reminiscing; as lead singer of LRB (Little River Band) from the mid-80s.
4. Gethsemane, from the musical Jesus's Christ Superstar; John played Jesus and the song is a message to God the night before he is crucified. Unbelievably powerful and emotional and freaking amazing vocals.
5. Black Dog; Cover of Led Zeppelin song, on YT, Audio only. Holy hell, at times John sounds exactly Ike Robert Plant
Yes you have heard it, a kid on American Idol sung it and only Simon Cowell knew it because it was a hit in Britain so it didn’t go down well. Early American Idol, probably 2005 or around then.
I like what you are saying. Farnsey is inspirational for a lot of reasons. You should also check out Delta Goodrem’s music, in particular Dear Life.
TBA the sound might be better with the original film clip( which extends the message visually and is great also)
But.....you won't get the vibe he hands out when he is in front of a live audience.
Truly great showman and a truly great man is our John.💕🇦🇺
David archuleta sang this song on American idol when he got to choose whatever song he wanted in the finals
The band heart actually did this for America because apparently the record company didn’t want john’s version which is the actual original
I didn't hear anything odd about this. The Melbourne Symphony orchestra made it sound so beautiful and it had a lot of depth. it's an 80's anthem and so vey special here in Oz.
John farnham live is brilliant no matter what please listen to john farnham and Jimmy Barnes they are great together songs like something is wrong with my baby
I've asked another reaction channel for their honest opinion, about a comparison between John Farnham and Elvis Presley; with respect to performance and connection to their audience, do they have the same sort of charisma for their generations.
seems like a special - designed perfect to get my honey back reacting - very cool.
Heart do a version of You're The Voice but it is nowhere near as good as John Farnham. He is amazing. Love this song.
Rick and George are having a weekend away, had a terrible disagreement on Sunday (over the wine), aren't talking so until they do I'll fill in for them. Farnsey!!
Cheers much appreciated
@@georgeibrahim7945 👍
Lmao
so what happens next?
He even sang this to The Pope when he was in Australia!
Random Cat approves of the cat ears headphone
Thats awesome!
How appropriate in the top right hand side of your video are the words "Freedom over Fear"
Like Bohemian Rhapsody is Britains second anthem this is ours.
Listen to help with live Melbourne symphony orchestra another great one
FYI. Heart covered this song in 92. They did a softer version and well worth the listen.
Listen to it's a long way to the top with Melbourne symphony orchestra a ACDC song it's awesome
You picked a great version❤
❤
Esta canción es eterna!.
HI FROM OZ! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS YOU GUYS!
SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE REACT TO BURN FOR YOU live (you’ll cry)
ITS A LONG WAY TO THE TOP live and EVERY TIME YOU CRY (catchy) oh my there’s tons more
There is also a version on YT where John sings it with Celine Dion. This is a great song because when it was first out in 1986 everyone was hoping for The Wall to come down and this was a bit of an anthem.........took 3 more years and it seems that some things are going backwards....sigh. As for feeling a song I don't think you can go past Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' [poor Prince lost control of his song there]. I am sure you know it and have listened to it, but just in case here is a link ▶ ruclips.net/video/0-EF60neguk/видео.html
A suggestion from a new subscriber from Australia. John farnham and Jimmy Barnes 'When there is something wrong with my baby'
the best version of this song
You can check this to: Loreen - You're The Voice (live at En kväll för vår planet, 2021)
Sorry but you guys commenting about quality of the song from VHS is ridiculous! Im a proud aussie and if you were to comment that here then you will lose alot of subscribers! John Farnham is a legend period! And you wanting more???? Its spectacular as it is! Clean your ears out woman please
Did you notice the mic stand go skyward before exit stage left.
The music video is also very, very good. And of course way more polished.
This is what we call his average performance, the one you really need to see is -john Farnham,your the voice (whispering jack) from Gary86 , you’ll see 8 bag pipes and a choir
John underwent a 12 hour surgery for cancer in his throat and we may never hear him sing again so let's pray to God that doesn't happen, it would be devastating
The BEST version of You're The Voice by John Farnham.
Enjoy - ruclips.net/video/X_H_yDeoU2Y/видео.html
The theme of this particular song was about domestic violence. "We are not going to sit in silence, we are not going to live with fear."
Heart did a cover that reached No 20 on the US chart
It was a Scottish righter that John found the song than made it own
Stay with the lives!!,
Rollen and Angie you can watch this version of Farnsey singing You’re the Voice ruclips.net/video/ULeMvqeU-Ns/видео.html. It’s from the ARIA award show.
This one is much better. Hes 67 yo and can still belt it our m.ruclips.net/video/IGwg8Y8xtuM/видео.html
If you want to hear his voice sing check out something is wrong with my baby ft another Aussie legend jimmy barnes
Perfect peeps 🙏🇦🇺
One of the better ones is live from ‘Chain Reaction’ tour.
I think this one is better with the MSO
@@TheBrownlj I meant the sound production, not the performance. I love this one too!
@@jano9091 yes I mean the sound production too. Cant get much better than the MSO.
@@TheBrownlj I’ve never seen them! Spent a lot of time at QLD Symphony concerts, and studied with their principal bass player. Love JF’s orchestral backed concerts.
@@jano9091 yeah they are the best Orchestra in this country. The sound with JF band was incredible. I was there.
Yes I think an American Idol sang it.
If you would like a new rabbit hole to go down...Can I suggest 4th Impact . They are 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies. They auditioned for X Factor UK 2015 and the video of that audition has more than 184 million views. They have many covers and a few original songs on You Tube....I can suggest the following to chose from :
Bohemian Rhapsody Queen
Imagine John Lennon
I'll be there Jackson 5
This is me and Never enough from The greatest Showman movie
Bang bang Jessie J ....with 184 million views on you tube
just a few to select from
It remind me When The wall went down
If you like harmonica, check out Chris Wilson’s version of “walk the dog”, see it here: ruclips.net/video/pZ2SLTajOvc/видео.html
Enjoy.
Cheers Terry
A just make sure which ever one you do is a live one.
Celine Dion also did a version, which is where you may have heard it...not as good as the original Farnham version.
peguem o vídeo dessa música dele junto com o COLDPLAY
First time I’ve ever hear negative comments from a channel about John Farnham. You two haven’t a clue.
If you say so - You might be a cult of personality member, as far as I know, we love John!
do song, burn for you, by john farnham
Time Travel
It's because you guys in America are still thinking the earth it's flat , John farnham is a legend n poops on ur singers who use auto tune constantly and can't write your own music and just change the background music and try rehash old songs! THIS IS ORIGINAL REAL TALENT! get your heads out of your booty and try listening to real music!
The man's a fidget, he can t just stand there and sing, he s allways got to be doing some thing else as well.
We used this song for our ''anti-vaccine mandate' freedom rally here in Australia during the Covid pandemic.
