I was at this concert, and sitting only 5/6 rows back. After being witness to such beauty and sincerity on stage, I still can't sit through this without welling up. RIP Olivia, you're one of Australia's great ladies ♥♥
Lucky bum 😁
@@alyn927 yeah I know exactly how lucky I was to be there. I've seen Farnsey 17 times, but this Main Event and Classic Jack concerts are my equal 1sts. I've never been one to agree with cloning, except in John Farnham's case lol. It would be awesome to have John around for our future Aussie generations lol
Lucky you Roslyn! It brings tears to my eyes now.
Me too - I'll never forget how electric the atmosphere was!💞💞💞
You’re such a lucky duck!
Yes, our beautiful Olivia is resting in peace and now our beloved Johnny Farnham is fighting it too 😭😭
Oh Dear Lord❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.. I'm a 52 year old man going through the worst heartache I've ever known.....i freaking was WEEPING through the whole song.. INCREDIBLE
Oh! I hope you are doing so much better now.
ONJ has said her best male friends are the two Johns, John Travolta and John Farnham.
and her husband is also a John
Oh Leaky eyes every time i see this. they were always the best of friends
They were long time friends who frequently collaborated and performed together.
The connection is real, but was always platonic.
The song ‘Burn for You’, is about John’s wife, Jill. Married 50 years this year.
I bet it wasn't platonic when they were younger and in London.
This seems so real and intimate that I am almost embarrassed to be viewing. It feels like I am intruding. This is the measure of what fantastic artists they are.
I started crying as soon as John started singing. His voice sings to my soul.
I still cant believe we've lost Olivia. That would have crushed John 😭😭😭
I ALWAYS cry when John takes on those incredible top notes and SMASHES them.
The POWER, the ACCURACY, is operatic - and then some.
Longtime friends this performance was absolutely beautiful and after battling Cancer fo nearly 30 years Olivia such a lovely soul passed away last year and unfortunately John was diagnosed with Mouth Cancer just two weeks later, but has said that she will be an inspiration to him in his own fight.
If John has sung his last song live, well it's fitting that it was with Olivia which was also her last performance at the Fire Fight Australia concert in 2020. RIP Olivia.🙏
Great call, John struggled getting his voice up their that day, but still sung to his strengths.
I think we forget his last concert he was 71 years old
I have heard that both John's wives (Jill Farnham & Kelly Preston/Travolta) laughed about their husbands love for Olivia and how they had to learn to live with it! lol! I met Olivia & spent about 2 hours chatting to her & Cliff Richard (another she had under her spell, lol) when I was 15yo- 51 years ago! I will never forget the incredible loving/caring glow that came from that beautiful soul! She relly was a living Angel! There is another one with John & her years later & the same chemistry is still there! So enjoyed your re-action! Thanks Hugs Debbie 🥰
Wonderful comment Debbie. And lucky you. Hugs
John at his genuine, charismatic and intense best. He loves, and is loved in return.
indeed, he was very young here, and very cute
As a proud Melbournian of 54 years, I confirm Liv and John are local cherished true legends and have been soul brother-sister since the 60's when they met. Hence, the unmistakable, chill-inducing, loving chemistry on stage not just because they are 1st class top performers. Olivia will live in our hearts forever, and we wish John much strength and love as he recovers from his lifesaving surgery. ❤🇦🇺❤️
Yeah, Charlie...don't be ashamed of showing some emotion, it's a beautiful performance from two beautiful people, the exquisite orchestra and the writer, Graeham Goble (of Little River Band fame). You're right about the vocal sync - just magic. And I love how Farnsey turns aside to sing the big notes so he's not blasting Olivia's face and mic. Great love and respect on stage.
So pleased you witnessed this most beautiful duet ever.
Oh Charlie. John could sing the phone book and still get you in the feels. It’s what he does best. Love your reaction. ❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
Woooooooooow. WOW. The little head tilt from Farnham when she's turned around. That's heavenly. The vocal performances I won't even go into, they're out of this world. As far as John Farnham goes I didn't think human beings could sing that well.
John is Australia's best kept musical secret, finally being shared with the rest of the world in the last few years through YT reaction videos like this. John can sing just about any genre to perfection & always gives his all to every performance. I'm one of the lucky fans who got to see him sing live a number of times, & it was magical every time. He is incredibly talented, extremely funny, wonderfully generous to his fellow performers, fiercely loyal to his family & friends, & always kind to his fans. He is the whole package, which is why we adore him. ❤
@@dolfyn73 That's amazing. I'm glad all these reaction videos made me aware of him since I'm one of millions upon millions who had missed out on all of his magical performances and material other than "You're The Voice". Holy smokes. Been listening to music, singing, playing, all of it for just about 30 years and NOW I get to experience this. Unreal.
@@johannest3628 Wish you many happy hours discovering our wonderful John 💖
Yeah, I cry every single time. The chemistry is off the chart.
Charlie, you're now officially an honorary Aussie.
Don't worry, this always makes me cry and I've probably seen it thirty times, lol. The love here is real, even though platonic, I guess that's why it's so convincing and so perfect, they just know each other so well and are completely comfortable together. So beautiful. Thank you for the lovely reaction. ❤
Same. Bloody onions.
That's my favourite reaction to this song EVER! Thanks Charlie
Wow. That's quite the endorsement. Thank you so much
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel really heartfelt and obviously so genuine.
Australians love it when they can see someone’s the real deal😊
Just love your reactions Charlie. This performance was mind blowing.
John and Olivia were such good freinds who toured, performed and recorded together several times over the years. This performance was even more poignant, given Olivia was recovering from breast cancer at the time . And this was John's way of getting her back on the horse, so to speak.
Olivia and John, flawless and SO loved ♥️ both beautiful talented…
Absolutely agree with you. This is the best duet I have ever seen.
Watching John perform is like watching Daniel Day Lewis act. So wholly method and pure commitment to whatever song he is singing. Beautiful to watch.
You definitely need to watch a live performance of “Burn for You” as well. It’s a beautifully simple song but so incredibly moving. It always makes me emotional, every single time I hear it
Burn for you is my fav👌
@@donnawallington4978 mine too, it’s stunning. I especially love when John does it with just an accompanying acoustic guitar, it’s perfection
His best performance (with Phil Buckle on the Chain Reaction tour) has been removed from the internet.
Thank you for your reaction and appreciation of John & Olivia. One of my very favourite performances of these two phenomenal Aussie treasures! Please watch more from their concert ‘The Main Event’, with Anthony Warlow.❤
Told you so
Probably the best duet ever, Australia misses them both.
Such a great performance, your right the chemistry was electric and breath taking. One of the greatest duets ever and such a beautiful song which John also sings solo at times. RIP Olivia she will be missed. Should react to John Farnham “burn for you” next another great song
Now you need to hear
John sing this on his own as it’s his song that he sings.. one with MSO is stunning. 🧐
This was a solo from one of John’s albums. My daughter was in a singing competition and I didn’t know it was one of John’s until she introduced the song before the music started. She won and one Judge wrote on her paper work that she never liked John but after that song she was going home to listen to more of his music. My youngest is adopted and born with her musical gifts like John was. We never understood her love of music or who she would listen too but she is adored by us all. We had the same song blasting in our house for 6 months starting when she was 18 months old. It was Alice Coopers Poison, no one knows where she heard it. Some years later we were told she has perfect pitch hearing, so there were sounds in the music and even his voice that made her want to hear it.
Olivia and John have always been wonderful together. They are also two great actors with big hearts. John says, Jilly gave him permission to kiss Olivia once a day for three months.
Also my fav ever duet. I love watching peoples reactions to this one and yours didnt disappointed. Its a very powerful and emotional performance. Great reaction and great work.
Love eloquent and thoughtful reactors like you Charlie Smith. Keep up the great work. Love this mesmerising performance. It is indeed unique.
A belated comment , yes I know.
There are vocalists, there are singers, but there is ONLY ONE VOICE!!!
John Farnham is far more than a performer or singer, he is the REAL DEAL. A true gentleman, humanitarian the Robin Hood of hearts!
Really love that duet with John and Olivia cry every time.
One of my favs ❤
Two of Australias greatest Performers not just singers, and watching you, they drew you in, it was a brilliant song, I was lucky I got to see them in their Prime. Love your reactions.
I saw this live sitting only a few rows back, just like some other commenters. I was fighting back tears through the whole thing - it was that impactful. John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow were nothing short of magnificent! We were truly blessed in Australia to claim some extraordinary talent.
The beautiful thing about these two is they absolutely love each other as friends, and both of them are absolutely, and deeply in love with their spouses.
I was at this concert and tearing up with everyone else in the audience, all this time later, I still do.
My late cousin asked me to join her in a concert with this duet many years ago, we got a standing ovation at the end, but we were amazed we managed to get to the end as both of us were in tears.
Seeing John and Olivia together doing this song is just beautiful…..I miss Olivia , she was a kind and generous person ….I was lucky to have a conversation with her when my husband was working on a TV special with Glen Campbell and Olivia. John has been my favourite since I was 14 yrs old. Thank you for playing this video.❤❤❤
I watched this through the blur of tears as I cried into my coffee. We lost two beloved, irreplaceable Aussies last year within 3 days of each other - Olivia, and Judith Durham. Thank you for keeping them alive in our hearts and memories - it must be tough at times. ❤
You ole softie you 😁 I agree, I was sitting here with tears in my eyes watching this, just superb chemistry. My favourite duet ever. Love them both 💖💖💔💔💝💝🇦🇺
Olivia was gorgeous inside and out. These 2 together are beautiful
Thank you, Charlie, for your sincere and emotional response to the best duet caught on film.
ONJ also does a fabulous
tribute\duet of Tenterfield Saddler with an image of Peter Allen.
She clearly studies her singing partners, and matches their singing style perfectly, whilst still retaining her own uniqueness.
Whilst it's heartbreaking that we lost Livy, and John may never sing again, we can, at least, treasure the performances that we do have, and relive the concerts that we went to.
Charlie, your commentary and reactions to the singers you present, are truly the BEST!! You come across as so genuine and sincere, don't interrupt the singers too much and you wrap up comments are always spot on. Thanks again for you REAL and very heart felt reactions!! ❤️
Enjoyed your reaction! This duet is one of my favorites. I can't help but feel touched by the sincerity of John's and Olivia's performance.
I hope John is able to sing again too. I went to this concert, it was amazing.
R.I.P beautiful Olivia. God bless you at this difficult time John.
Love your work Charlie
So many songs
Looking through a Tear is another amazing number for the vocal range
Very dear old friends RIP Olivia
John and Olivia were great friends for 55 years, since they were teenagers. In fact John was one of the last people she spoke to before she died. I think it might have even been the last phone call she ever took in fact. They did love each other, deeply, as far as I know, just friends.
Hi Charlie…love your channel. Such a beautiful & emotional performance from John & Olivia. I’ve seen this clip so many times & still get teary every time. RIP Olivia & thank you for the music 💕🌷
That was just beautiful, got me emotional too ❤️
I love your reaction...Made me emotional also.. its so nice to see someone else sees what Ive seen since the 60's😊❤ Thankyou...
Thanks Paul and Charlie. Just exquisite 💖
Thank you for the respect, as you always give. Cheers from Sydney.
Great reaction! It is truly a beautiful song - originally a solo hit for John and modified for this concert into duet. Olivia and John were friends and did a number of performances together through the years, including a Christmas album a few years back. They harmonise wonderfully and both of them are fine human beings. RIP Olivia and continued wishes for John's recovery.
They loved each other as very dear friends which made this duet so emotional ❤
Had never seen this 😭 glad I got to see it.💛
It had me in tears to.
Great Request Paul thank you so much for helping the world hear the special talent that is John Farnham and Olivia Newton John ✌
"It's like there was no one else in the room". Brillant observation!
Really feel for John as he has been battling cancer and still grieving the loss of his best friends Glenn Wheatley and Olivia Newton John 😭💜 heartbreaking. I'm sure they are angels watching over john together through his recovery 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Karen I am not sure if you heard this news but John was given the all clear from the Cancer Hospital he had treatment at a couple of months ago. He is definitely on the mend but I am sure he is still grieving the loss of two very close friends from his life.
Charlie - and Paul, of course - thanks so much for this. This is not the first time I've seen this video of JF & ONJ singing this, but your reaction, Charlie, was brilliant. The two singers hit all the right notes, figuratively as well as musically.
I haven't seen a clip with Olivia since she died. I sobbed all the way through this.
How lucky are we to have this concert recorded
A beautiful reaction Charlie to a beautiful song. You are one of the most sincere people on here. Thank you.
John’s heart broke when his best friend and Manager Glenn Wheatley suddenly died. Not long after our Olivia passed and my heart broke for John. He was inconsolable 😢then he received his cancer diagnosis. It seemed to happen in quick succession 💔💔💔
We are so grateful that we have these recordings to cherish for our lifetime ❤
This is the perfect song about Unrequited Love on both sides, both knowing they are friend zoning the other mutually. Seriously makes you think that if they were not both married, they could of easily gotten together and been very happy together.
I've watched this vid more than 50 times and it still gets me every.single.time. Olivia was absolutely gorgeous and held her own entirely with the great Farnham. I understand why you had to sit for a bit.
My friend went to high school with Olivia. She had a the kind of personality that everyone loved. The first time my boyfriend saw her in concert he was memorised, Yep you just have to learn to live with it. She was magnetic.
Simply stunning!!!
This was one of my all time favourite concerts, and this is one of my all time favourite songs.
I was lucky enough to be at this phenomenal concert called The Main Event and I’ve got to say it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. The chemistry between John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, and this was beautiful, pure magic. Olivia said at the time that the one thing she always wanted, was to sing with John Farnham. Celine Dion said the same thing. We can all see why. Once again, your reaction Charlie said it all. You were blown away like the rest of us. I really hope we get to see more of this concert with you.❤️
They complimented each other so very well that you could be mistaken for thinking that this song was always a duet. John singing this solo (live, of course) is also amazing.
We are so very blessed to have this performance in the world to listen to and share with those unaware... You can't help but not get emotional when you watch this... Bless you John, and thankyou Livvy you're both perfection and beauty in every sense! ❤
Mesmerizing. Two of Australia's best together. What more could anyone want.
First time seeing this😭😭 They're both reaching into each other's hearts and pulling at my heart strings. Beautiful beautiful ✨💜🌺🙏🏾
He ADORED her. They loved each other. It was a genuine friendship and both of them were utter dags & great mate. I thought she was amazing to be able to sing with Farnsie yelling in her ear. His voice is so powerful - although he did turn his head when he hit that high note.
These two were always close friends, fellow artists and journeyers on the path to perfection...
They sound beautiful together❤ Olivia Newton John has always been one of my favorites. Her voice is very distinctive and people often underestimated how powerful it was. ❤❤❤
John and Olivia knew each other since they each began their careers within weeks of each other ( I was 13/14 at the time and don't remember exactly ) on Bandstand in Sydney Au in the mid 60s. So it was a long friendship.
Olivia and John were very close friends. They both grew up in Melbourne and often played the same gigs when they were very young. Please do more from this fabulous concert.
I’ve seen it many times and it sill leaves me sobbing
Yay! The moment at 4:25 was everything! John's downturned mouth and slight head tilt always makes me feel something too :D Your reaction to this was so very satisfying. The one other time I've seen this sort of live chemistry was when Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand sang You Don't Bring Me Flowers at the Grammys in the early 80s. John and Livvy were dynamite together. Loved this so much.
Truly beautiful such chemistry ❤❤ two beautiful people
Love your reaction. I was at this concert and it was the best I have ever been to. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
2 beautiful old friends
I loved that performance and also Charlie Smith’s reaction and comments😊
Once again, the best reactor Charlie. John and Olivia were friends for decades. The song was written by Graeham Goble, one of the founding members of The Little River Band. Was normally a solo which John performed at many concerts (some of which I was at). Seriously, if he you think he’s good live on recordings, can’t even describe what it was like being there. The gratitude he has for his fans is beyond amazing. He would do a show like the MSO concert in front of 40000 people, then come to my home town where the biggest auditorium held 2000 max, and give us EVERYTHING he had. And Mr Jimmy Barnes still lives in the area, so he turned up at one of John’s encores, and I got to see their duet standing 3 meters from the stage. The 80’s and 90’s were a great time for live music in Australia.
I saw Johnny at expo 88 his performance was something to live for.
" to see them sing " live " is sheer bliss !" 😊
They were both independent teenage stars growing up together and Olivia did have a crush for teenage singing sensation John in the late 1960s. Chemistry off the scale.
I had the privilege of serving Olivia when she was young and about to go overseas with her friend Little Patty and they were both lovely and bubbly and a delight to serve.
I love that you get so emotional to songs, it’s great
I was at this concert, magic. R.I.P. ONJ
Couple of Melbourne kids who were long time friends... apparently & justifiably John was heartbroken when she passed
❤
I've been to many concerts in my time, and three that scream out at me were 'Classic Jack' (John's version of Help still brings tears to my eyes and to my heart), Live Aid (Freddy is still king), and AC/DC at the River Plate. I still remember meeting John during the January '94 bushfires. He came to where we were resting up and took the time to talk to all of us, shook our hands, and thanked us for fighting the fires. That is the type of guy John is, fair dinkum, friendly and all around 'mate'.
I am so so so happy that you have done this one and given us such a brilliant reaction
THANK YOU! CHOOKAS! 💖
